Book Reviews of The Translucent Revolution: How People Just Like You Are Waking Up and Changing the World
Book Review: Fabulous book
Summary: 5 Stars
The Translucent Revolution, by Arjuna Ardagh, is one of the best books I've ever read. It is geared to the millions of people who have woken up to their true nature (and has lessons on how to wake up if you haven't already). Arjuna calls those who have woken up "translucent" and I'm sure this will be a new meaning for this word. Arjuna says "We have realized the ultimate truth in snapshots, that all is perfect as it is. Hopefully, we also have the humility to see that we all have habits of thought that are in constant rebellion with this lucent reality, this living in the now." He has interviewed hundreds of people who have woken up and uses his own experience as well as advice and quotes from all these people on how to stabilize and enrich this experience in everyday life. He addresses parenting, business, relationships, emotions, sex, aging, politics; "all stuff we might not expect to discuss in a spiritual book" He also addresses the spiritual myths which surround waking up. He says "Translucents have canceled their subscription to the self-improvement industry; they no longer pin their sense of well being, their connectedness and peace, on the process of fixing themselves. Yet they fully recognize the dysfunctional habits that hurt people and create separation...so they have no resistance to looking at these old habits, not as an attempt to improve the personal, but in service to moving beyond it and giving the realization space to breathe." If you have woken up, and find yourself in a strange new world, or if you would like to wake up, this is just the book for you. My highest recommendation.

Summary of The Translucent Revolution: How People Just Like You Are Waking Up and Changing the World
There is a gentle but profound revolution in human consciousness happening throughout the world?it has affected millions of people from all walks of life, and the numbers continue to multiply exponentially. The breakthroughs they have experienced are startlingly similar and are marked by a new sense of well-being, increased joy in life, diminished fear, and a natural impulse to serve and contribute to the world in a real way.
For more than a decade, Arjuna Ardagh has studied this worldwide advance in human consciousness marked by what he calls "translucents"? individuals who have undergone a spiritual awakening deeply enough that it has permanently transformed their relationship to themselves and to reality, while allowing them to remain involved in ordinary life.
The Translucent Revolution draws on the author's dialogues with thousands of writers, teachers, and workshop participants around the world who display characteristics of "translucence." He blends observation, anecdote, and research, including commentaries from leading pioneers in the field of human consciousness like Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, and Neale Donald Walsch to offer simple, concrete strategies for cultivating a translucent way of life. He offers a blueprint for positive change and an optimistic perspective on these uncertain times.

He offers a blueprint for positive change and an optimistic perspective on these uncertain times.
At a time when the fate of the world seems increasingly uncertain, The Translucent Revolution provides a compelling and convincing argument that radical positive change is taking place throughout our global society, resulting in increasing numbers of people from diverse and divergent backgrounds who are awakening to a state Ardagh defines as "translucent." In the process, they are becoming part of a potentially critical mass of people capable of triggering a worldaround awakening of deeper purpose, joy, compassion, self-fulfillment, and service to others.
Ardagh studied this "translucent revolution" for more than a decade, after years of spiritual seeking that culminated in his own awakening of his true inner state of being after famed spiritual teacher H.W. L. Poonja asked him, "Who is the one trying to be free? Who are you really?" What he subsequently discovered was that experiencing his inner awakening was far easier than living and maintaining it, but in the years since, he discovered ways of doing so, finding in the process that many others around the globe are now doing so as well.
As part of his research for The Translucent Revolution, Ardagh interviewed others from all walks of life he are awakening to similar experiences, including Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, Jean Houston, and Neale Donald Walsch. In all, he interviewed over 170 people, compiling 250 tapes and 3,000 pages of transcripts, the essence of which he distilled into this book. After opening with an examination of what "translucence" is and how it can be lived after the radical awakening that leads to it, Ardagh then explores how translucence can positively transform individuals in terms of their self-identity, personal actions, feelings, relationships, sexual partnering, parenting, and art. From there he examines the affects of translucence in collective society in terms of education, business, health care, religion, and global sense of community. Throughout the book, he provides readers with many experiential exercises they can do, both in the form of "Try It Yourself" exhortations and gentler "Nudges" that can be performed individually and with a partner. The end result is a doorway to a transformational journey that literally leaps off the written page.--Larry Trivieri
