Andrew Harvey & Betty Kovacs discuss Merchants of Light: Consciousness That Is Changing the World

Andrew Harvey and Betty Kovacs discuss her book, Merchants of Light: Consciousness That Is Changing the World.
In this book of breathtaking scope and depth, Betty Kovacs reminds us of our inherent divine identity and capacity to create, and how the mystic-shamanic tradition of gnosis has been repeatedly submerged and repressed in Western culture, resulting in a devastating loss of soul and heart. However, her final message is one of hope - if we have created our current world, we can recreate a new one together that truly integrates heart and head, feminine and masculine, love and wisdom. We can transform imaginally from our limited identity as caterpillars into more expansive butterflies.
Betty’s background and experience has some unique features. Her doctorate was in comparative literature and the theory of symbolic/mythic language, and she has taught these subjects for 25 years at university level. In addition, as her earlier book The Miracle of Death recounts, she has experienced many dreams, visions and initiations, centrally the death of her son Pisti in a car accident, followed two years later by the death of her husband Istvan, also in a car accident. In the intervening period, Pisti conveyed some essential insights about the nature of consciousness and our evolutionary phase of development. It was he who instructed his father to look up the 18th hexagram from the I Ching, whose code is ML, or Merchants of Light and which stands for ‘the transformative laws of an energy field that is activated when we work on what is decayed.’ (p. 45) Pisti told his dad to read the hexagram carefully as it was his work, and the work of the Earth in giving birth to a new consciousness at a time when we are ‘dreaming a terrible dream’ and urgently need to distil light out of our darkness.
I hope you enjoy this video interview.
With so much love,
Andrew

Consciousness clothes itself in matter - no consciousness, no matter. Matter most certainly does not give rise to consciousness.
