Description
We live in a time of great tumult and suffering. The wise among us know that we desperately need healing, not more blame, violence and greed. The Radiant Heart of the Cosmos: Compassion Teachings for Our Time invites us to begin the work of healing the suffering in our own lives and then in our communities and our world.
Through Penny Gill's conversations with Teachers Manjushri and Kwan Yin, we learn skillful ways to uncover our deeply defended hearts and then to recognize our own Heart Center, our portal to the Source of the great compassion streaming throughout the universe. The Teachers explain the intimate relationship between compassion and suffering, along with the importance of reclaiming our emotional lives and our access to the Divine Feminine. Restoring the balance between masculine and feminine energies will enable us to heal our Earth and recognize our interdependence with all of life
This urgent task begins in the heart of each one of us. In this complex, polyphonic text, Penny Gill and her Teachers encourage you to walk your own Spiral Path of healing-for yourself, for the world, and for the future we create in each moment.

Penny Gill has written a thrilling book, truly an adventure in consciousness, both deeply personal and immeasurably vast. Filled with inspired teachings, she weaves together three voices-her two Teachers, Manjushri and Kuan Yin, and her own voice. They invite us into the mysteries of the Spiral Path, a journey of healing and awakening that transforms fear and suffering, reclaims the Divine Feminine, and opens the heart for teachings about compassion and the cosmic Heart Center. Through her courageous inner work and guided by her Teachers, Penny gives us a soaring vision, filled with inspiration and hope. This wise and compassionate book is a gift for you and everyone you love.

Devoted seeker and teacher Penny Gill invites the reader on her courageous journey from persistent lifelong despair to spiritual transformation. In emphasizing compassion as a way forward, she offers a path that can both soothe the savage internal beasts and, if applied widely, also help the healing of our ailing world in its current moment of peril and estrangement. "Either we break open our hearts to discover the fountain of compassion and kindness within," she writes, "or we literally destroy ourselves and our world."

With courage, wisdom, candor and deep kindness she takes us by the hand, leading us through fear into compassion and joy.
