You've heard the hard-hitting data on climate change, and you've seen the documentaries. But what will it truly take for humanity to change? Unseen Beings is an exploration of humanity's relationship with the vitality of the natural world. Drawing upon both scientific research and Buddhist wisdom, Erik Jampa Andersson uncovers the powerful magic and beauty of our environment to reveal how we can save it by honoring animism and recognizing that everything in nature is a sentient being. This rich, engaging book explores:
- modern discoveries around the hidden intelligence of the natural world
- how Buddhism has dealt with the question of animate nature
- how to create a more integral and inclusive worldview
- practical rituals and ceremonies such as planting trees, harvesting plants, and digging into the earth
Unseen Beings is a call to action - a proposal for a new way of living in the world. By embracing this call, we can open up to a far more vibrant sense of embodiment and change the world for the better.
