The Power of You
“I’m doing this for our future…to show that the power of the divine resides in each of us. The most important message to convey is that one person with impeccable intent has more power than 1,000 people in it only for themselves.”From article in The Dispatch, Jan. 15, 2004
On Masculine Energy
“Masculine energy is simply the energy of intention and action. It is not a negative energy. When the energy of action and intention is heart-centered without attachment to outcome, we have Sacred Masculine energy… The problems we are experiencing on the planet now are from masculine energy that has run amuck…It is going to take the energy of the Sacred Masculine to turn things around on this planet.”From article in Mystic Pop magazine, March/April 2006
On Releasing Karma
“Many of us have been looking around, and we see that the earth and humanity are in the middle of a transformation, a rebirth. If we can cut the cords to the past, then the past can begin to inform us differently and this transition has the possibility of being a smooth one. We can take the lessons of the past without the energetic garbage. Those of us who have already made this transition can then hold this space open for the rest of humanity.”From article in Voices of the New Earth
On Changing the World
“The millions of us that have participated in the incredible Awakening of Spirituality have had the realization that God is not “out there”. The Divine resides within. This is true in my own experience. Looking at the problems our culture is facing environmentally, socially, spiritually, and politically, we need to ask ourselves, &lqquo;What are we waiting for?” The same spiritual tools used to recreate my own life and move energy, done by thousands of us, can also facilitate change in our world.”from interview in Voices of The New Earth
On Faith in Ourselves
“We look to our government for answers but what we get is a long drawn-out process that starts with arguing over whether there really is a problem. Then if a problem is identified, that problem aspect of our economy, which is responsible, rushes to defend itself in fear rather than asking for help in finding a solution. Again fear becomes the motivating factor. Fear has never led us from the brink before and it will most likely not do so in the future. Throughout history, our faith in our ability to change however, has led to our greatest achievements.”From Oracle 20/20 article, March 2004
On Moving Beyond Fear and Anger
“In the early fall of 2000…I realized that fear is behind all of life’s challenges— fear of lack, of being attacked, of loss. Right there I made a commitment to embark on a quest to eliminate fear from my life. Two weeks later a shaman appeared. In general, a shaman is one who can ‘walk between the worlds’. It is one who can enter the Spirit world and bring back relevant information. This one gave me countless books to read and worked with me to learn shamanic ways. As I pursued this path, I found much fear living inside me. Throughout my life, I had always had a problem with anger. No matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to go longer than a few months without a blowup. I tried prayer, meditation and different forms of exercise, but nothing brought lasting relief. The moment I made a decision to come into the Now, however, I realized that anger was just fear turned outward. My temper vanished overnight.”From article in Spirit of the Smokies, February, 2004.

Praise for John English’s first novel, The Shift: An Awakening
The Shift: An Awakening, winner of both “Book of the Year” and “Best Visionary Fiction Title” awards from the Coalition of Visionary Resources - www.covr.org:
“The Shift is like a new Celestine Prophecy, combining mystical revelation and political transformation, revealing an imminent breakthrough in conscious politics.”Dr. Barbara Marx Hubbard, author of Conscious Evolution
“The Shift is a rich and necessary novel for our times. In a world dominated by greed, war and self interest, John English gives us a ray, indeed, a floodlight of hope, and guidance on how we can dream our world into being. This is a must-read book.”Alberto Villoldo, PhD, author of Shaman, Healer, Sage
“This book can be really helpful if you have been hoping for a shift in consciousness somewhere in the future, but are concerned about humanity reaching the critical mass needed to make the shift. If you want to stop living in the future and experience the shift NOW, this book can help us do it.”Barry & Janae Weinhold, PhDs, Voices of The New Earth
“The time has come when we must shift our consciousness, as individuals and cultures, into a state of expanded awareness. The Shift is a brilliant novel that lights the path. It tells a classic tale of the hero’s journey, but with a modern and inspirational twist. John English has given us and future generations a beautiful gift!”John Perkins, author of Shapeshifting: The World Is As You Dream It, and founder of Dream Change Coalition
“About three years ago, English began to feel a strong desire to be of service to his fellow humans and the planet. He began to study with Alberto Villoldo, PhD, of the Four Winds Society, and became a shamanic healer. Having experienced healing in his own life and in the lives of others, he understands that to heal our world we must first heal ourselves.”Heidi Bonisa, The Light Connection, September 2003
“This is a book I so enjoyed that I might just reread it—a luxury I very seldom have!”Michael Peter Langevin, Magical Blend www.magicalblend.com
