Life-Coherent Spirituality
Reverence, Love, and Responsibility in the Worlds We ConserveBy Dr Bichara Sahely
Length4h 52m
About this audiobook
Life-Coherent Spirituality invites listeners into the deepest frontier of the Life-Coherence Framework: spirituality made answerable to life. Drawing from medicine, ecology, peace theory, the commons, and the biology of love, Dr. Bichara Sahely explores spirituality not as escape from the world, but as reverence, embodiment, responsibility, and repair within the worlds we conserve.
This audiobook asks how spiritual life can remain coherent in an age of ecological disruption, social fragmentation, suffering, and meaning collapse. It reframes love as legitimate coexistence, peace as life-serving conditions, the commons as sacred vessels, and healing as the restoration of organism-world coherence.
A contemplative and practical journey, this work calls us to rediscover the sacred not elsewhere, but in breath, body, Earth, care, truth, grief, forgiveness, and the shared work of protecting life.
Spirituality becomes coherent only when reverence becomes responsibility.
