El mundo es como uno lo sueña

Enseñanzas chamánicas del Amazonas y los Andes

Description

En las profundidades de los espesos bosques y las alturas de los Andes ecuatorianos, los chamanes enseñan la técnica ancestral de cambio de los sueños. Esta es una tradición que ha mantenido vivas y vigentes culturas como las de los otavalos, salasacas y shuar, a pesar de siglos de conquista. Hoy en día estos chamanes enfocan su sabiduría y poder en sanar una nueva enfermedad: la creada por los sueños del mundo industrializado, los cuales pretenden dominar y modificar la naturaleza.

En su tercer libro sobre la espiritualidad y ecología nativa, John Perkins narra la historia de estos notables chamanes y de los médicos, psicólogos y científicos norteamericanos que han viajado con él para aprender las técnicas de cambio de los sueños. Las enseñanzas de los chamanes han revolucionado los conceptos modernos de curación, del subconsciente y del poder de cada uno para alterar la realidad individual y colectiva.

Reviews

"A magnificent book! It has a place of honor in my personal library. Perkins' The World Is As You Dream It is a masterly and understanding exploration of shamanic inner thinking. It is thought-provokingly written, a most valuable contribution."

"The dream not only drives the action, it also guides the action. Through John Perkins we learn this truth as it is taught with special vividness by indigenous people."

"The World Is As You Dream It is one of those rare books that tells a riveting story at the same time as it provides deep insights into what makes us who we are and the world what it is. I was so riveted to this book that I couldn’t put it down for a second until I finished reading it."
