IRINA TWEEDIE (BIO)

The Paradoxes of Mysticism CD Cover
The Paradoxes of Mysticism
Recording of a talk given by Irina Tweedie in about 1985 or 86.

"True religion is a practical mysticism which finds God not only in the silence of the soul but also in all the affairs of life. The only mysticism that appeals to me is the kind which finds God in all things, in all men and in all experiences, and which goes out into the highways and byways and bears the heat and the burden of the day."
— Henry Thomas Humbling, as quoted from the recording

Exploration of Darkness CD Cover
Exploration of Darkness and the Misuse of Magic
Recorded in Hamburg, September 2006

In this unique series of talks, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee explores different dimensions of darkness, explaining how dark magic began with the misuse of the natural magic of creation. Through this misuse the natural harmony of life was distorted, and doorways to darkness were opened. If we are to restore the natural balance, we need to return to this misuse and undo its dark magic with the greater power of love.

This series of talks was given in Hamburg and is in both English and German, with Bernd Jost giving the German translation. Normally Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee’s German talks are only available in Europe, but because this is such a unique series of talks that will not be given in America, we decided to make them available.

Four talks on three CDs

CD1: Natural Magic (51 min)
CD 2: Misuse of Magic (48 min)
CD 3: 1. Love and the Magic of Creation (46 min)

Weaving a Web of Light
Recorded in San Rafael, CA, February 2006
with Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee and Sandra Ingerman

May we be those who shall renew this existence.
— Zarathustra

Our light carries the secret of our divine purpose. When we connect together with the light of others we can weave a web of light that carries our shared power and purpose: the potential to help the world come alive with the wonder and magic hidden within it. We can help the heart of the world open and begin to sing.

Why Dreamwork CD Cover
Why Dreamwork?
Recorded at a Group Meeting in Fall, 1999

Dreamwork is the modern equivalent of the ancient Sufi teaching stories.
— Irina Tweedie

Through dreamwork we connect with a hidden part of ourself, with the wisdom and guidance of our true self. We also work to reclaim our symbolic consciousness, the forgotten feminine mode of thinking through which the deeper meaning of life reveals itself. And for the mystic the practice of dreamwork is a preparation for the work of catching the divine hint, reawakening the mystical consciousness through which the signs of God become known.
