Dharma Sky is the first of a trilogy of books, containing the annotated transcripts of online talks given by Richard Harvey, a psycho-spiritual psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, between 2012 and 2013. The two series of online lectures titled The Sashti Poorti Lecture-Seminars and The Panchavati Online Discourses compile fourteen talks, which address the psychological and spiritual understanding and renewal for the modern era.

"At the very heart of my work is a spiritual way that addresses the predicament of the modern era. This predicament, as I see it, is rather similar to the idea of the kaliyuga, a term from Hindu cosmology that denotes the darkening of the light, the time of least spirituality, morality, and transcendence. By facing the ego which has been highly developed and become extremely complex as the symbol of self-identification, separation, and division in the inner individual life and the outer collective world, we can prepare the ground for the revolution of individual and collective consciousness.

This consciousness will develop and create, over time, a sane, spiritual foundation for an authentic, compassionate way of relating to each other and to living in the world as a precious privilege and divine opportunity. The age of light follows the kaliyuga and those of us who have been true to our deepest self will arguably have helped to maintain the light of truth and consciousness for all beings.

My hope for this e-book is that you will learn something to deepen your present spiritual practice and understanding or, if inner work is relatively new to you, that you will find something here to further you in your personal and spiritual discovery.

My broad aim is to make deep psychological and authentic spiritual truths clear and accessible. I do not indulge in popular notions about spirituality. We will be little involved in the kind of psycho-spirituality that is about getting the things you want, feeling happier, becoming healthier in mind or body, or any of the other cosmetic self-improvements that so-called spirituality today seems most concerned with. Rather we will be concerned with divine Truth and birthing Reality through the human-divine form."
