Visionary Voices Unite For Planetary Healing
Review
of Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves
By Roger Phillip Lothamer
This
amazing anthology is vastly different from any others I’ve
read. Usually I find such books don’t hold my attention
much more than those I keep in the bathroom for my short interest-span
throne readings. But Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves
is so radically different that I practically couldn’t
put it down. The hi-caliber authors deliver a terrific punch
in this collection of hard-hitting diagnoses for what ails
our planet and us today. More like a reality check than a
diatribe, this book is chock full of astute insights, practical
suggestions, tried and true workable solutions, scientific
evidence, and ancient mystical wisdom presented in positive
and enjoyable prescriptions for humanity to have a healthier
and happier life on Earth.
I
was blown away by Helen Caldicott’s contribution of
facts and warnings about nuclear war and how America can save
the world. I was uplifted to the level of transcendence by
Andrew Harvey’s discourse on how compassion today leads
to spiritual activism. I was flower child born again by reading
Ram Dass telling ”I see politics as heart to heart.
I tell people to not be satisfied with their leaders until
they find a representative of the heart.” I found Barry
Sears’ explanation to be completely astonishing of how
important it is to understand that hormones need specifically
hi-omega3 dietary help and how that all applies to our global
wellness. These are only a few of the contributions; they
all are equally powerful and exciting.
Just
reading the list of the 38 names of the co-authors impressed
me at first. Besides those I already mentioned there’s
also the Dalai Lama, Mary Catherine Bateson, Huston Smith,
Daryl Hannah, Saniel Bonder, Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch,
Debbie Ford, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Alberto Villoldo, and many
more; but what really rang my bell was how they all focus
as one voice on the real and very present ailments of humanity
and planet Earth. Inspiring, motivating, enlightening, and
absolutely essential reading for today’s conscious,
concerned citizens; this is exactly the ammunition you need
to use in your discussions with your community; fill your
quiver with arrows that hit the heart of the matter! This
is the best anthology I ever read and I highly recommend it.
