Flight into Freedom and Beyond by Eileen Caddy

ISBN: 978-1-899171-64-4

262 pages paperback, including 8 pages of black & white photographs

This is an extraordinary story told by an ordinary woman. Eileen Caddy is known worldwide as one of the three founders of the Findhorn Foundation in the north of Scotland. The books that have flowed from her inspiration have drawn multitudes to the Findhorn Community.

In this new, expanded edition of her autobiography, Eileen updates her story to record the events -- and emotions -- of the past fifteen years. She emerges as a powerful elderwoman who frees herself from the aura of her charismatic ex-husband Peter whom she still loves. In doing so, she learns the true nature of forgiveness, overcoming the issues of jealousy, hatred and doubt involved in the break-up of a marriage for which she had, under God's guidance, sacrificed everything. Readers will be struck by the analogy with the biblical Job, how someone who has lost everything, wealth, position, family, can yet have them restored by God. In her own person, Eileen Caddy, divinely ordinary as she describes herself, has pushed the limits of the ordinary person's experience to the very borders of the Kingdom of God. With a new postscript.

It is over 50 years since Eileen Caddy first received personal guidance from a 'still, small voice' inside herself, a source she called 'the God Within.' From that day on she not only lived her personal life by that inner guidance, but was also instrumental in creating the international spiritual community centred around the Findhorn Foundation in Northern Scotland.

Eileen realized that her role was to help others turn within and find their own inner direction, and her books reflect this encouragement to us all. Her books (Opening Doors Within, God Spoke to Me, The Living Word, etc.) have sold millions of copies throughout the world, in more than 30 languages.

Eileen was included in the 2004 New Year's Honours List and awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) by Her Majesty The Queen for her 'service to spiritual inquiry'. She was also recognised as one of the major spiritual teachers of our times on British television's Channel 4's The God List.

She died at the Findhorn Foundation on 13th December 2006.

Eileen Caddy's extraordinary tale is clear, straightforward, and utterly charming - which is remarkable since she is writing about some of the deepest spiritual experiences one could ever go through.

When she fell in love with Peter Caddy and agreed to go to England with him (the 'Flight' of the title) she could not have known what the path she was on would bring her. She simply knew she had to be with him. And later, when she was startled by hearing a guiding voice she describes how confusing it must have felt, and how challenging it was to keep listening to this guidance even though it seemed likely only to bring more pain.

In staying faithful to an inner voice that led her the right way, every time, she shows us all how we can be loyal to the inner promptings of the best part of ourselves. She called the voice God to begin with, yet by the end of the book she knows it to be the god-within-her, the divine voice of love that is alert to the energy of the universe. Whatever we call it, what matters is to accept this miraculous experience so we, too, can align ourselves with this power.

Eileen Caddy, working on the guidance of this voice, co-created the Findhorn Community - a vital, cooperative community working for world peace and love.

An unforgettable read.
