Das heute vorherrschende naturwissenschaftliche Weltbild lehrt, daß die uns umgebende Natur aus toter Materie besteht. Wir verstehen sie nicht mehr als belebt und beseelt, sondern als eine Anhäufung von Stoffen und chemischen Prozessen, deren Mechanismen wir zu ergründen versuchen, um sie uns zunutze zu machen. Wir leugnen vielfach, daß sie eine zutiefst lebendige Dimension hat. Und dies, obwohl nicht nur alle Religionen und Naturvölker, sondern auch die moderne evolutionäre Kosmologie von einer ganz anderen Erfahrung ausgehen: einer Welt nämlich, in der Materie und Leben keinen Gegensatz bilden. Jeremy Hayward, selbst Physiker und Molekularbiologe, zeigt in den ?Briefen an Vanessa? seiner Tochter einen Ausweg aus den lebensfeindlichen Beschränkungen unseres materialistischen Weltbildes, indem er, ähnlich wie Jostein Gaarder dies für die Philosophie tat, auf zugängliche und leicht verständliche Weise die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Neurologie, der Kognitionswissenschaften, der Neuen Biologie und der Neuen Physik präsentiert. Dies ist ein wichtiges und anschauliches Buch in einer Zeit des sich im Umbruch befindenden Wissenschafts- und Werteverständnisses. In spielerischer Form macht es deutlich, daß die Naturwissenschaften heute dabei sind, sich von dem Modell einer ?toten Welt? zu verabschieden und zum Verständnis eines bis in die vermeintlich unbelebte Materie hinein von Bewußtsein durchdrungenen Kosmos zurückzufinden.

This is the first book to offer step-by-step instruction in Shambhala warriorship. Combining Buddhist mindfulness practice and pre-Buddhist shamanic teachings, Shambhala warriorship training teaches ways to call on powerful, natural energies for personal and collective transformation. It shows us how to use everyday situations to unite mind, body, and emotions in a harmonious whole. The Haywards illuminate the powerful and elegant philosophy behind warriorship with practical guidelines, meditations, personal insights, anecdotes, and mindfulness exercises to guide the reader on the warrior's path, which ultimately leads to self-liberation and harmony with the world. The Haywards are uniquely qualified to present these teachings: close friends and students of Ch gyam Trungpa, they helped him present the teachings of Shambhala warriorship through the Shambhala Training program, with which they continue to work closely today.
