John Perkins is a true teacher

I plan to buy ShapeShifting next. This book will change your life and the way you look at things. I know...there are so many books out there that claim to do that as well, but they are nothing compared to this book. Only an intelligent spirital person would read this book, but it is also an easy read. I have the highest respect for John Perkins.


Life-Changing, for some .........

this book will never be beat. This was my introduction to John Perkin's books and I went on to read all the others; Shapeshifting, Psychonavigation, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, being my other favorites and just as good. This book though is a great introduction to Amazonian Ayahuascuero Shamanism, a practise that is still very strong while other branches of Shamanism, have, in a word, failed. I've studied Shamanism from all over the world; Siberian, Alaskan, Canadian, North America, but to me it all seems to point to the Amazon. If you can appreciate the differences between the words 'psychedelic' and 'entheogen' then I think you may enjoy this very good book.

A New Way of Viewing the World

This book is for those of you who recognize that there is something inherently wrong with the way our society operates. Even if you don't recognize it, this book will shed light on a myriad of problems. We can all learn a few things from indigenous people, and Perkins is a level-headed expert on the subject. Short and easy to follow, this book is a must read!






John Perkins

Perkins is a 50 plus year old former International businessman who made the transition from a tool of the modern day robber barrons to a spiritually concerned member of the human race. I suggest that his books be read in the order of their publication to really understand the mans evolution. His body of work should be in the high schools of all the countries that are sucking up the worlds resources. Then, maybe, with a generation of informed people the planet can change it's course from a head on collision with disaster to a place where people understand the bounty of this world must be properly allocated and the appropriate opportunities are available for everyone. There is to much in his books to write about here. An automatic for any person wondering how the world really works and how it could work.

In his third book on native spirituality and ecology, John Perkins takes fellow travelers deep into the jungles of Ecuador, to the home of the Shuar and their healing shamans, or curanderos. Hoping to help the Shuar, who face Western encroachment and the destruction of native forests, Perkins comes to realize that it is the mind and soul of the Western, "developed" cultures that are most in need of help and healing. The Shuar believe that the perceptions of a people, their "dream" creates individual and communal reality. Our distorted vision of the human being at the top of nature's pyramid contrasts vividly with the native dream of an intricate, intimate relationship among all participants in the web of life. Through their music, myth, herbal medicine, and the sacred ceremony of the hallucinogenic plant ayahuasca, the Shuar invite us into a dream that they have made reality-one that is nourishing and life-sustaining and in which the great privilege of being human is in embracing our role as caretakers of Mother Earth.

Offers both personal transformation and cultural awakening, since the curanderos of the Shuar-like shamans the world over-are catalysts for profound change.

Explains the life-sustaining world view of an endangered indigenous culture, affirming the U.N. Year of Indigenous People.
