Dances with spirits : ancient wisdom for a modern world

Helin, Calvin 1959- (author.).

Summary: Dances with Spirits, from bestselling author and self-reliance activist Calvin Helin, guides readers to applying ancient wisdom for a better understanding of today's complex, modern world. Millions crave spiritual fulfillment in a time of broken social relations. Yet most are confused as to why their deepest yearnings for meaning and a kinder, gentler way of life are becoming ever more distant. The answers to such questions can be found in the ancestral wisdom of ancient cultures. People are not human beings on a spiritual journey, but spiritual and social beings on a human journey. We live in a skewed society focused on technology and money. Through understanding our true nature, a better existence can be created. Such knowledge can illuminate the path ahead so that people can once again dance with their spirits - enjoying the beauty, grace, and serenity of what it truly means to be a spiritual and social being.
