About this listen
For the Celtic people of ancient Ireland, the natural world was a continuous prayer. Each mountain held a soul, each river a heart. This "Eucharist of nature" was living evidence of a divine worldview to which each Celt, as part of the "Great Circle", belonged. Like the fierce and loving people who beheld it, this sacred vision vanished with the coming of Christianity in the fifth century. Or did it?
In The Invisible World, scholar and poet John O'Donohue recovers Celtic spirituality's original mysteries, sharing practices and beliefs that enrich Ireland and its people to this day. For the Celts all life was sacred, yet they reserved their greatest reverence not for what they could see but for what they could not. Around them they sensed an "invisible world", the great unknown from which they came and the source of eternal wonder in their lives. Through prayer, O'Donohue teaches, we may enter directly into this secret immensity and escape the psychological prisons we create for ourselves.
Alive with loving scholarship and interwoven with prayers and poetry in the Celtic tradition, The Invisible World is an invitation to find freedom from your negativity and return your soul to the grace that is waiting unseen around you at this very moment.

Beautiful and poetic
Really enjoyed this book and especially as the author narrated it. There's something in his voice that is poetic and lush. Such depth and exquisite reverence for the inner worlds.

Invibsible Worlds reviled.
They say that when you ask the universe for help and guidance it will find a way to communicate. And in my case well I found this wonderful book by John O'Donoughe. The Invisible World holds the truth and the insight to touch the heart and soul of anyone who listens/reads it.
It's teaching covers every thing from death to reincarnation explained
In such a beautiful way. It reveals and introduces the listener to their innermost and sacred self. Love and light to all who read/listen.

The ministry of John Donahue
I like listening to his voice. Exceptionally wise. I find that what he says makes complete sense to me and helps me to treasure myself. I am listening to all of his audiobooks in turn at night so that I can slowly absorb his most positive way of living. I can drift in and out of sleep knowing that his words and voice will comfort and heal my body and soul, the nuggets of wisdom and truth nestling their way into my heart.

A beautifully poetic work, the reading of which is like music to your ears.
This is a truly beautiful work which could only have come from Ireland and especially the West of Ireland. The Irish have a different way of seeing and thinking and The Invisible World opens a window into the most poetical expression of that. This work would not have reached that level without it being read by the author with his Gaelic influenced pronunciation. This work,expands the mind revealing new possibilities in life. I highly recommend this book. When I hear John O’Donohue read it reminds me of my Irish friend in London, Teresa Fallon, who spoke in just such a melodic way. I am English with no connection to Ireland except the lovely Irish friends I have encountered along the way.
