This is a book about two worlds, two ways of knowing and being, based on experiences and encounters that flowed from the author’s 30 years of contemplation on the nature of reality and Western science. Within the Native American worldview he discovered a vision that was staggeringly subtle, yet perfectly natural, a vision that was sophisticated in its philosophical engagements. Native peoples’ ideas of time, causality, and reality are based upon relationship and renewal, upon the courtesies and dignities of daily life, upon harmony and balance, and upon the acknowledgement of the powers that animate the world around us. The author points us to the amazing resemblance between indigenous teachings and new insights that are emerging from modern science.
