Wars around the globe, ecological disasters, terrorism, poverty and political upheavals—all of these could signal that the doomsday predictions may be correct: 2012 may be the end of the world as we know it. But for Nancy Seifer and Martin Vieweg, co-authors of When The Soul Awakens, these could also be the birth pains of a new world—a world in which the soul of humanity awakens and creates a new world rooted firmly in spirituality
Philosophers have pointed out that any extreme condition tends to evoke its opposite. This leads to a state of chaos until a new level of order is attained. We need only to look at the world around us to see that the world is in an extreme state of chaos. This is a temporary state, in the opinion of Nancy Seifer, co-author of When The Soul Awakens: The Path To Spiritual Evolution And A New World Order. This chaos will eventually bring humanity to the realization that the greatest threat we face is actually spiritual impoverishment.
“The growing violence, alienation and despair of these times are fostering a spiritual awakening of global proportions. Millions of people are beginning to realize that all of life is interconnected and that as human beings we share the same destiny. This is the best news of our times. People throughout the world are adopting the new perspectives and values that hold the keys to solving global problems.”
Based on modern esoteric teachings known as the Ageless Wisdom, “When The Soul Awakens” was written for people who are awakening spiritually and want to learn about the nature of the soul, the higher self, and the evolution of consciousness. It focuses on this turning-point in human evolution when millions of people are awakening to higher truth and exploring the journey of transformation.
While many people around the world have come to view this period as “the end-time,” Ms. Seifer and her co-author, Martin Vieweg, focus on the current global crises as the birth pangs of a new era that will unfold beyond 2012. In their view, the rising tide of human suffering that has swept the planet since the start of this millennium has sparked an expansion of spiritual awareness among people everywhere.
“The spiritual awakening underway has become especially visible on the Internet—in the social media and on countless websites. A gathering wave of individuals share the awareness that we are about to take a ‘quantum leap’ in consciousness that will forever change our reality.”
Ms. Seifer and Mr. Vieweg were recently awarded a Silver Medal in the 2010 Nautilus Book Awards for “When The Soul Awakens,” placing them in the ranks of previous Nautilus award-winners such as Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Carolyn Myss, and many others who have contributed to the universal stream of contemporary spirituality.
Rolland G. Smith, Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist, called "When the Soul Awakens“ ‘the definitive work of research, eloquence and skillful attunement to the subject at hand.’ John L. Petersen, world-renowned futurist, called it ‘a wonderfully written tapestry that not only illuminates the past, but also shines a bright light on what is on the horizon.’ He added, ‘This is a very special, extraordinarily valuable volume for anyone who wants to actively participate in the biggest event in our history.’

When The Soul Awakens: The Path To Spiritual Evolution And A New World Era
ISBN: 978-0-9820047-0-8
Profile:
Nancy Seifer and Martin Vieweg have been studying and practicing the principles of the Ageless Wisdom for over thirty years. This book represents the harvest of their transformative journeys.
Nancy Seifer was an idealist and activist early in life, before finding her way to the spiritual path. During the 1960s, she was a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, a staff member at the African-American Institute in New York City, and an aide for ethnic affairs to New York City Mayor John V. Lindsay. In the 70s she directed a program on women and diversity at the Institute on American Pluralism, where she wrote numerous articles, papers, and chapters for anthologies. Her writings on American working-class women include a monograph (Absent From the Majority,1973) and a book (Nobody Speaks for Me!, 1976) that are still in use at colleges and universities.
In the late 70s, Nancy embarked on a quest for spiritual truth that led her to the ageless wisdom teachings, and to involvement in several visionary endeavors. While directing the Center for Peace through Culture, she travelled to the Soviet Union in 1986—a trip that sparked a decade-long immersion in post-Soviet Russia as spirituality was reemerging there. After writing Russian Odyssey (2003), a spiritual memoir born of that experience, she began work on When the Soul Awakens in an effort to make esoteric wisdom more accessible to a growing body of seekers.
Martin Vieweg has been a student, writer, and lecturer within the esoteric community for over three decades. Early in life he pursued a wide range of spiritual teachings and practices—from Ernest Holmes’ “Science of Mind” to Edgar Cayce’s “Search for God.” While working at the Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach he lectured on reincarnation, dream study, and extra-sensory perception. In the mid-70s he enrolled in a program for esoteric training at the Lucis Trust, publisher of the Alice Bailey books. He later joined the headquarters staff of the Trust in New York City, serving as co-director of a global meditation project and frequent lecturer. More recently, Martin served for many years as Director of Data Management for the United Negro College Fund in northern Virginia, where he and his wife, Nancy, coauthored When the Soul Awakens.

Wars, Oil Spills, Terrorism and Political Unrest: Do These Signal The End Of The World or The Beginning Of A New World?
Friday, May 28, 2010
Nancy Seifer, Co-Author of "When The Soul Awakens", Sees "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Remember His Past Lives" As Sign Of Awakening
This year's surprise winner at the Cannes Film Festival, “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Remember His Past Lives,” may be signaling that humanity is awakening to the reality of the soul. Nancy Seifer believes this award reflects a growing acceptance of reincarnation in the West, and may indicate a deeper shift in perspective on life and death
The Cannes Film Festival gave its top prize, the Palme d'Or, to “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Remember His Past Lives.” Filmed in Thailand and directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, this work is an exploration of reincarnation through a dying man’s journey of discovery.
“The fact that the Cannes Film Festival awarded the top prize to a film about recalling past lives is full of significance,” stated Ms. Seifer. “It’s another sign that humanity is awakening to the reality of the soul—the higher aspect of ourselves that evolves through lifetimes of experience. The award adds to the evidence—in public opinion polls and popular books—that reincarnation is gaining acceptance in the West. It says a great deal about the shift in awareness that has been taking place over the past few decades.”
Based on modern esoteric teachings known as the Ageless Wisdom, “When The Soul Awakens” was written for people who are awakening spiritually and want to learn about the nature of the soul, the higher self, and the evolution of consciousness. It focuses on this turning-point in human evolution when millions of people are awakening to higher truth and exploring the journey of transformation.
In a chapter entitled “Rebirth,” the book reveals that a sense of having lived before is a sign that the awakening soul has begun to recognize its own reality and to realize the continuity of life. This chapter also explores the fact that reincarnation has been accepted by enlightened individuals of all eras, cultures, and religions in the West as well as the East.
While many people around the world have come to view this period as “the end-time,” Ms. Seifer and her co-author, Martin Vieweg, focus on the current global crises as the birth pangs of a new era that will unfold beyond 2012. In their view, the rising tide of human suffering that has swept the planet since the start of this millennium has sparked an expansion of spiritual awareness among people everywhere.

Co-authors Nancy Seifer and Martin Vieweg Receive 2010 Nautilus Book Award For Their Recent Release, When The Soul Awakens
Seifer and Vieweg join the ranks of previous Nautilus award-winners such as Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, The Dalai Lama and Carolyn Myss
Nancy Seifer and Martin Vieweg are pleased to announce they have been awarded the 2010 Nautilus Book Award for their recent release, When The Soul Awakens: The Path To Spiritual Evolution and a New World Era. Previous winners of the award include Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, the Dalai Lama and Carolyn Myss.
"We are enormously pleased," said Nancy Seifer, "to have received this award. It’s a wonderful validation of our work but more importantly, it reflects a growing interest in what the ageless wisdom reveals about the human soul and the evolution of consciousness. To us it’s further evidence that the soul of humanity really is awakening."
Based on the Ageless Wisdom, When The Soul Awakens views the current world crises as the birth pangs of a new time—an era that will unfold beyond 2012. The rising tide of human suffering that has swept the planet since the start of this millennium is serving to spark an expansion of consciousness among people everywhere. The book was written for those who are awakening spiritually and who want to know what comes next on the evolutionary journey.
Nautilus Book Awards Silver and Gold Winners are carefully selected in a three-tier judging process. The judging is done by numerous teams of librarians, editors, book reviewers and leaders in the publishing industry. Books are evaluated in a long and labor-intensive process by at least two judges for each category and at each level. Awards are given to books of exceptional quality and merit that make a literary contribution to spiritual growth, conscious living and positive social change, as well as to the arts, inspiration and creativity.
"It’s a tremendous honor," stated Martin Vieweg, "for us to find ourselves in the ranks of previous Nautilus award-winners such Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Carolyn Myss, and so many others who have contributed to the universal stream of contemporary spirituality."
