The growing phenomenon known as translucence is effecting a gentle yet profound revolution in human consciousness. Millions of people from all walks of life are experiencing a deep change in awareness, an experience marked by a new sense of well-being, and increasing joy in life, a diminishing of fear -- including fear of death -- and a natural impulse to serve the world in a real way. The Translucent Revolution describes this awakening and offers readers ample opportunities to cultivate and encourage the qualities of translucence in their own lives. Drawing from a highly convincing body of evidence, observations from pioneers in the field of human consciousness, and a vast pool of powerful stories, the book explores the effects of translucence on many aspects of contemporary western life, including personal relationships, sex, parenting, education, psychotherapy, medicine, aging, business, and global politics.
Warning! The book will not make sense unless you have dumped the egoic self and have become translucent yourself as you will notice by reading other reviews. If you have gone through the change and are feeling confused about all the ramifications, this book will explain everything in detail. It takes a while for the mind to become integrated again and this book will dramatically speed up that process. Especially useful are the spiritual myths he debunks such as "Awake people are not identified with the personality and therefore have no interest in changing it."
Utterly fantastic

I must have been waiting for this book.... and I sincerely thank Mr Ardagh for his great service. A tremendously useful book for all who struggle with the evolutionary process. You will be comforted. You will be encouraged. You will see how normal the struggle is and..... that you are so not alone. We ALL struggle at some time and to some degree. We ALL suffer paradox : Onwards and upwards... great humanity... how DO we caringly live IN matter and at the same time live the Truth that ultimately nothing matters ?
Fabulous book

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.

This is a work of tremendous scope and wisdom, written with intelligence, grace and humor. I recommend it to anyone who has ever been a 'seeker', or experienced a spiritual moment which seemed to disappear into the daily flow of life, or felt that life could be richer, fuller. Ardagh's work vibrantly demonstrates that it's all here, now.

If you've ever wondered why your are here, what your purpose is on the planet at this time in history, and what you can do to help further our evolutionary process, this book is for you. If you've ever felt that you knew there had to be a larger purpose in life, and that endless possibilities existed, but you didn't know exactly how to tap in to the transformation in consciousness that is rapidly unfolding, this book is for you. I owned a metaphysical bookstore for over 14 years and never, in all that time, did I come across a book so well researched, so enlightening and hopeful as The Translucent Revolution. This book, will no doubt, be an instant classic and is one of the best, if not THE best book on human transformation and higher states of consciousness I've ever read. A delicious read. Dive in, if you dare, to find out there are millions of us out there on the cusp of an enormous shift in consciousness and evolutionary change.
