Holding Light in Dark Times

In a world swirling with toxicity and dystopian echoes, Sufi teacher Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee asks us to embrace our spiritual practice as a response to challenging times. Vaughan-Lee draws parallels to engaged Buddhism, urging us to blend mindfulness with ecological awareness. As he notes, ‘We are all a part of one living community,’ and our spiritual awakening must mirror this interconnectedness. His personal visions predict a chaotic future, but also hint at the emergence of a new civilization, ‘quite different to now.’ The key, he argues, is nurturing small enclaves of light—communities grounded in love and unity. Vaughan-Lee encourages us to ‘rejoin the great conversation’ with nature, suggesting that our destiny is intertwined with the Earth Herself.
