“Humanity is in the midst of a spiritual renaissance,” states Lee. “People everywhere are ‘waking up,’ as if from a deep slumber, to an awareness — a remembrance — of who they are, why they are here, and what they need to do in order to actualize their purpose.” Lee has added a new chapter, “Our 9-1-1 Wake-Up Call” to the book, following the events of September 11th. These events have catapulted the global family into a much stronger imperative to listen to one another & understand, in order to heal the deep wounds & inhumanities that have come to characterize the human race, and which keep us from living in peaceful co-existence, and from actualizing our deepest wisdom & potential.
This is a book for anyone who has struggled with personal & societal issues, as well as with the age-old question of the meaning of life. It would be difficult to find even one hardship or life trial that these courageous individuals have not met head on & integrated into their spiritual journey as treasured experiences of growth & opportunity. These visionary thinkers are not meditating on mountain tops or in caves; all have chosen to roll up their shirt sleeves and dig into the vicissitudes of everyday life. These are doers & dreamers, from spiritual teachers, educators and corporate executives, to artists, healers & social warriors.

In 2003, “The Ways of Spirit” was released by Galileo Publishing, available from amazon.com and other major booksellers, as well as from The Sanctuary.
