PLANT INTELLIGENCE AND THE IMAGINAL REALM: BEYOND THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION INTO THE DREAMING OF EARTH
Book ID/图书代码: 06568017C00019
English Summary/英文概要: In Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm, Stephen Harrod Buhner reveals that all life forms on Earth possess intelligence, language, a sense of I and not I, and the capacity to dream. He shows that by consciously opening the doors of perception, we can reconnect with the living intelligences in Nature as kindred beings, become again wild scientists, nondomesticated explorers of a Gaian world just as Goethe, Barbara McClintock, James Lovelock, and others have done. For as Einstein commented, "We cannot solve the problems facing us by using the same kind of thinking that created them."
Buhner explains how to use analogical thinking and imaginal perception to directly experience the inherent meanings that flow through the world, that are expressed from each living form that surrounds us, and to directly initiate communication in return. He delves deeply into the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and, most importantly, the human species itself. He shows that human beings are not a plague on the planet, they have a specific ecological function as important to Gaia as that of plants and bacteria.
Buhner shows that the capacity for depth connection and meaning-filled communication with the living world is inherent in every human being. It is as natural as breathing, as the beating of our own hearts, as our own desire for intimacy and love. We can change how we think and in so doing begin to address the difficulties of our times.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在植物智能和意象王国中,史蒂芬•哈罗德•布尼尔揭示了地球上所有的生命形式都拥有智慧、语言、一种我的感觉,而不是我,以及梦想的能力。他表明,通过有意识地打开感知的大门,我们可以重新与大自然中的生物联系起来,成为一种野生的科学家,成为一个像歌德、芭芭拉•麦克林托克、詹姆斯 洛夫洛克和其他一些人一样的人。正如爱因斯坦所评论的那样,“我们不能用同样的思维方式来解决我们面临的问题。”
布尼尔解释了如何使用类比思维和意象感知来直接体验世界的内在意义,这是由我们周围的每一种生活形式所表达的,并直接开始交流。他深入研究了入侵植物的生态功能、对抗生素的耐药性、对精神植物和真菌的耐药性,以及最重要的是人类本身。他表明人类并不是地球上的瘟疫,他们有一个特定的生态功能对大地女神盖亚来说就像植物和细菌一样重要。
布尼尔表明,深度连接和与生活世界的交流的能力是每个人的内在固有的。它和呼吸一样自然,就像我们自己内心的跳动一样,是我们对亲密和爱的渴望。我们可以改变我们的思维方式,从而开始着手解决我们这个时代的困难。(WYL)

“Stephen Harrod Buhner’s The Lost Language of Plants and The Secret Teaching of Plants taught a generation of herbalists to trust our sense that the world was alive and speaking to us. Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm takes us further down that path of remembering and re-enchantment, awakening our capacity to tap directly in to the Gaian mind. Be warned: if you read this book, you will never be the same again.” (Sean Donahue, traditional herbalist and instructor, School of Western Herbal Medicine at Pacific Rim)
“There is much magic, and a wealth of wisdom in this book. It is a wisdom that anyone can come, not only to understand, but to live within. To take this journey is to embrace a great healing, and to release a great burden. The healing answers your deepest longing, I won’t say what the burden is, but you will know it when you let it go.” (The Fall Buyers MetaGuide, September 2014)
“This is a rare and splendid book that takes you right into the heart and soul of the world. Read it and be transformed.” (Stephan Harding, Ph.D., head of Holistic Science, Schumacher College, UK, and author of Animate Eart)
“The twentieth century was the great age of physics, and the twenty-first is the age of biology. According to Stephen Harrod Buhner, we must interact empathically with the biosphere by opening our perceptual gates to perceive through all body sensations. He deliciously explores music, writing, art, and plants as tools for reclaiming our feeling sense of nature. Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm is a work of heartfelt wisdom written so exquisitely that it took my breath away, a must read for anyone who wants to achieve keystone intelligence--empathic immersion within Earth’s dreaming.” (Barbara Hand Clow, author of Awakening the Planetary Mind: Beyond the Trauma of the Past to a New Er)
