There are books that change you, reach inside and pull you out of the mental mud. This is one. The chapter on nonduality will be reread numerous times. The only other book that has affected me in this manner is Matthiessen’s Snow Leopard. Doors open. Worlds open. Thank you.

    An important and fruitful read
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 16, 2023*

Joan Halifax delivers to us a poetic exploration of life, death, and living. Through her stories in the fractured landscape of the crumbling modern world of commodities and dollar based values that are eating up the world... and our soul, she centers in the direness of today, the beauty and the wisdom available to us. Inside the lens of her experience we hear the insightful voices of compassionate luminaries, and indigenous wisdom from the the coast of California, to the climbs of Tibet.I highly recommend this book, it is precisely what my mind and heart needed in these times. It is so well written, and compactly printed to carry, I found myself reading in the small places where I could catch a page, paragraph, or chapter.Joan is a gifted writer and a modern day seer, peering past the plastic of a capitally wrapped world, into the living, fruitful darkness of today, asking us to look within, and about to find the soul we are searching for through the reality as it is present today.

    Cosmic Consiousness
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 13, 2013*

I've been fascinated by Shamanism and Zen for a long time but I did not find this book as enlightening as I hoped. My criticism of her philosophy is offered solely in the interest of finding a true solution to our existential crisis. I would argue that you cannot identify with nature, the absolute, or the entire cosmos. You should not find comfort in an expanded sense of identity.For example, let's say you are working for a non-profit and you really love your job. It gives you a sense of being part of something larger than yourself. Then one day internal politics causes the non-profit to come to you and tell you that you are being let go. Now you are to lose your sense of being part of something larger than yourself. This can be devastating if you invested too much of your ego into the non-profit. I would argue that it is important to be self-contained and realize that you are only a part of a company, a part of nature, or a part of the cosmos. It is false consciousness to identify with the whole. It is simple logic to realize that the part is not identical with the whole. To identify with the whole is a form of spiritual self-aggrandizement.So when she says, "It is also clear that our identity is not limited to what is wrapped up in our skins." There is some truth to this but you can't submerge the individual into the collective or nature as completely as she suggests.Another interesting realization, "I know that the psyche yearns to give the world a soul." Unfortunately, the entire book attempts to ensoul the world without seeing this to be a mere fantasy.
