Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. End-of-the-world paranoia has been with us since time immemorial, and the present is no exception. The ominous end of the legendary Mayan "long count" calendar on December 21, 2012, along with recent threats of a worldwide economic collapse, has triggered widespread apprehension and a search for answers. In The Cracking Tower, Jim DeKorne uses an arsenal of strategies along with humor to turn these fears into an opportunity for spiritual and personal growth.End-of-the-world paranoia has been with us since time immemorial. Now, with the end of the legendary Mayan "long count" calendar looming on December 21, 2012 and recent threats of a worldwide economic collapse triggering widespread apprehension and a search for answers, The Cracking Tower offers an arsenal of strategies to turn these fears into an opportunity for spiritual and personal growth.Beginning with a lively memoir of the author's experiences in the '60s, the book goes on to explore apocalyptic thinking through perennial philosophy, shamanism, gnostic mysticism, the body as a vessel of consciousness (and death as "an extended out-of-body experience"), and psychedelics. Shaping the discussion is the fascinating metaphor of the cracking tower, an apparatus for distilling gasoline, as a vehicle for distilling our awareness. Rather than speculating on what might occur in 2012, DeKorne proposes vigilance of a more introspective sort. "The important thing," he says, "is to ignore the finger and strive to comprehend the moon," to see what our apocalyptic tendencies reveal about ourselves. End-of-the-world paranoia has been with us since time immemorial. This title offers an arsenal of strategies to turn these fears into an opportunity for spiritual and personal growth. It explores apocalyptic thinking through the perennial philosophy, shamanism, gnostic mysticism, and psychedelics.
