It asks how we must change in order to be invited into the future of Gaia, or as the authors prefers, \u003ci\u003ePachamama\u003c\/i\u003e: the goddess revered by indigenous peoples. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author explores ancient wisdom we may have to reclaim, new knowledge that gives us insight into the nature of the Universe, and the paradoxes we face as we move into the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the introduction: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \"The species \u003c\/i\u003eHomo sapiens\u003ci\u003e has lost its way. We are out of sync with the fundamental nature of \u003c\/i\u003ePachamama\u003ci\u003e: the goddess revered by indigenous peoples. Perhaps we are out of sync with the essential nature of the Universe itself. \u003c\/i\u003eHomo\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003esapiens\u003ci\u003e, the only surviving species of the genus \u003c\/i\u003eHomo\u003ci\u003e, has wandered far from any path that might have kept it aligned with the biosphere...Gaia...Mother Earth...or \u003c\/i\u003ePachamama\u003ci\u003e. This book is about our \"lostness,\" and whether we can find our way home.\u003cbr\u003e We are lost because we have striven to separate ourselves from the heart and soul of \u003c\/i\u003ePachamama\u003ci\u003e. Not only have we separated ourselves physically, but emotionally and intellectually as well. In losing our connection to her inherent depth and wisdom, we have lost connection to each other, and even lost deep connection to who we are-as a species and as individuals. I wonder if we have become so lost that \u003c\/i\u003ePachamama \u003ci\u003eherself has given up the search to find us and bring us home.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the end, this is a book of hope. But the hope offered is not hope that humanity has the knowledge, wisdom, or capacity to heal the wounds we have inflicted on the world. Our incessant tinkering continues to make things worse. Our human brains are far too naïve to understand how the cures we propose reverberate with inconceivably complex unintended consequences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe hope in the book, instead, comes from great trust in the natural life-affirming nature of the Universe. We can find our way home, but that journey must be guided by the natural ebb and flow inherent in the world around us-that which is embedded deeply in the Universe itself. Finding our way home will require us, individually and collectively, to listen and feel for those progressions in ways that are either very new, or so ancient we have forgotten. Can we stop our doing and begin to listen and feel in ways that keep nothing sacred and yet hold everything sacred? The journey, the author believes, is fraught with danger, complexity, paradox, and incompleteness.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 186\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 20, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52724128416051,"sku":"9780578967073","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/cy9aSm9PMU9IWmhNcW1YTytQQitUUT09.webp?v=1763683267","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/humanitys-journey-home-surrendering-to-the-wholeness-that-is-gaia-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
