Description

With exactly the same extraordinary skill he used to demystify scientific abstraction and the new physics, Gary Zukay, the award winning writer of The Dancing Wu Li Masters, here takes us on an excellent and penetrating exploration of the new phase of evolution we've now entered. With lucidity and elegance, Zukav explains that we're evolving from the species that pursues power based upon the perceptions of the five senses -- exterior power -- right into a species that pursues authentic power -- power that's based upon the perceptions and values of the nature. He shows the way the quest for external power has produced our survival-of-the-fittest knowledge of evolution, generated conflict between lovers, communities, and superpowers, and brought us to the edge of destruction. Using his scientist's eye and philosopher's heart, Zukav shows how infusing those activities of life with reverence, compassion, and trust makes them stand out with purpose and meaning.
