Chuang Tzu examines the nature of existence in these dialogues and
essays, from the battle to grasp the purpose of life to the search
for knowledge. A collection of some of the most absorbing and
charming philosophy ever written, THE TAO OF NATURE is also about
perfection, perception, the value of skills and the truth revealed
by complete understanding. GREAT IDEAS. Throughout history, some
books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see
ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war
and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and
comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now
Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers,
radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped
make us who we are.
American poet Karen Eberhardt Shelton and British poet Jay Ramsay
send out a vital message about how to connect across great divides
in this collaboration designed to touch hearts, awaken perceptions,
and move people to action. The poets' contrasting styles complement
each other to great effect, as Shelton draws her inspiration from
nature while Ramsay has a vision of the world at the edge that is
sharp, unremitting, yet celebratory. Writing in the wake of 9/11,
both poets believe in using poetry as a means of confronting the
ethical and spiritual dilemmas that Color a person's impact on the
world. Skillfully weaving personal reflective poems with poems
inspired by public events, Ramsay and Eberhardt Shelton create a
powerful collection that addresses the questions that have been
asked since the destruction of the Twin Towers.
Alchemy is best known as the age-old science of turning base metal
into gold. But it is much more: essentially, it is a path of
self-knowledge, unique in the Western tradition, with vital
relevance for the modern world. The symbols of Alchemy lie deep in
the collective unconscious, in the world of dreams and imagery: the
practices of alchemy are rooted in an understanding of the oneness
of spirit and matter through which we celebrate our sexuality and
spirituality. Jay Ramsay takes us step by step through the stages
of the alche-mical process using a wide range of original exercises
to create a memorable journey that challenges, inspitres and
transforms us at every stage. We too can be kings and queens: we
too, once we leave our dross behind, are gold. It's full of fi ne
things... --Ted Hughes, Poet Laureate 1984-1998, playwright and
author. So much good work... --Robert Bly, award winning poet,
essayist, activist and author. Jay Ramsay has written a luminous
and wise guide to the mysteries of soul, and to the images and
texts of alchemy, which explores these mysteries... --Anne Baring,
philosopher, visionary and author of several books including: The
Dream of the Cosmos: a Quest for the Soul and The Myth of the
Goddess. Ramsay is among those who have been working most
assiduously to share this archetypal language of the soul...
--Lindsay Clarke, review in Caduceus. The clearest account of the
alchemical process I've read... --Peter Redgrove, poet, novelist
and playwright. Extremely wonderful and important... --Robert
Sardello, author and co-founder of The School of Spiritual
Psychology.
