A manual for opening the doors of perception and directly engaging
the intelligence of the Natural World
- Provides exercises to directly perceive and interact with the
complex, living, self-organizing being that is Gaia
- Reveals that every life form on Earth is highly intelligent and
communicative
- Examines the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial
resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and the
human species
In "Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm," Stephen Harrod
Buhner reveals that all life forms on Earth possess intelligence,
language, a sense of I and not I, and the capacity to dream. He
shows that by consciously opening the doors of perception, we can
reconnect with the living intelligences in Nature as kindred
beings, become again wild scientists, nondomesticated explorers of
a Gaian world just as Goethe, Barbara McClintock, James Lovelock,
and others have done. For as Einstein commented, "We cannot solve
the problems facing us by using the same kind of thinking that
created them."
Buhner explains how to use analogical thinking and imaginal
perception to directly experience the inherent meanings that flow
through the world, that are expressed from each living form that
surrounds us, and to directly initiate communication in return. He
delves deeply into the ecological function of invasive plants,
bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi,
and, most importantly, the human species itself. He shows that
human beings are not a plague on the planet, they have a specific
ecological function as important to Gaia as that of plants and
bacteria.
Buhner shows that the capacity for depth connection and
meaning-filled communication with the living world is inherent in
every human being. It is as natural as breathing, as the beating of
our own hearts, as our own desire for intimacy and love. We can
change how we think and in so doing begin to address the
difficulties of our times.
