About this Item

Inscribed "With love & many blessings lovingly. Eileen". Autographed copies rarely offered. Eileen Caddy (1917 - 2006) was a spiritual teacher and new age author, best known as one of the founders of the Findhorn Foundation community at the Findhorn Ecovillage, near the village of Findhorn, Moray Firth, in northeast Scotland.

About this title

Synopsis

What is it that makes Eileen Caddy special? Here is a woman whose words have inspired and changed millions, and yet it is her very "ordinariness" that has helped so many to relate to her words. She is a woman of her time, with a gentle, feminine and powerful soul. Eileen does not strive to be perfect or different, she is comfortable being "divinely ordinary." And yet she is also much more than that. She constantly displays a willingness and commitment to do whatever is asked of her by her guidance. Now in her eighties, beginning to experience the frailties of her age, she still is the first person meditating in the Findhorn Sanctuary before dawn every morning, listening to her "still small voice within" as she has done for nearly 50 years. She listens, and then she acts.

What Eileen has always managed to do best is inspire others to strive for the highest; she expects us to be the best we can be, to listen to our own inner voice and to use our talents in service to our planet and to each other. We are all ordinary, and in essence we are all divine. We are part of the unconditionally loving spirit that guides our lives. Eileen is a shining example of what we seek to be, and she needs no pedestal, no admiration, no gratitude. If we, who have read and loved her words, connect with our spirit, make positive changes in our lives and embody the unconditional love we seek, then she has done her job very well indeed.

This book allows you to appreciate Eileen’s ordinary, extraordinary life.

About the Author

Eileen Caddy is one of the foremost sensitives and spiritual teachers of our times. Since the day in 1953 when she first heard an inner voice say "Be still and know that I am God," she has not only lived her personal life by that inner guidance, but has also been instrumental in creating the international spiritual community at Findhorn. Eileen realised that her role was to help others turn within and find their own inner direction, and her books reflect this encouragement to us all.
