Wisdom: Stories of an Ancient Way of Knowing
So Powerful! If a drug, the FDA would rate this book Class 3,
If this book was a drug the FDA would make it Class 3. It is that
powerful and will have that strong an effect on your life.
While it is described as an account of a Malaysia tribe, it is, more
importantly, a window into another way of thinking about WHAT IT IS TO BE
HUMAN. That is also the name the book was originally given by it's author.
Robert Wolff opens our eyes to see and think about possibilities for being
human that our western world's schools and media do not teach, do not
suggest. Every person I know who has read this books says it changes the
way they walk through the world, the way they see, the way they know.
It discusses ideas that impinge upon parapsychology, shamanism, Carlos
Castaneda's works, intuition, healing... The book is a precious gift that
will make you feel joy and sadness-- joy from knowing the possibilities of
being human, and the beauty of the Sng'oi, sadness, because the Sng'oi
were reported to be "absorbed" by the Malaysian culture several
years ago. They are gone.
Thom Hartmann, who wrote the forward to the book, has written several
other books which share a similar vision-- Prophet's Way, Last Hours of
Ancient Sunlight, and Greatest Spiritual Secret.
Read this book and see if you can find a way to begin seeing and
knowing, of being human, as the Sng'oi did, and see if you can find a part
of them in your heart. |
