7 Extraordinary Books You Need to Read to Become Ecoliterate Complex networks and their unpredictable nature are rapidly transforming the world around us. The challenge is to learn to live with life, because we are embedded in it. We are systems, nested within systems, nested within systems. Luckily, great minds have seen this ‘crisis of perception’ coming and they have shared their thoughts with us. What is Ecoliteracy? An ecoliterate is someone who has learned (to some degree, in some way) that human life is embedded within larger ecosystems that provide the conditions for it to develop. The (aspiring) ecoliterate could, in my opinion, come a long way in creating his own understanding of living systems, by reading these 7 classic books. 1.

dream guidance What is a Dream Circle? What Is a Dream Circle? A dream circle is an ancient prayer form that gives structure to the “work” of dreaming. In a meeting each dreamer who so desires tells a dream. When all the dreams have been heard, each dream is heard again, and the participants respond to each, giving information, feedback, and facts that the dreamer may not have known. We learn in circle that our dreams are not separate, private events, but that our dreams fit together like puzzle pieces. Why Dream Circles Are Important We lose memory of life’s mystery in the everyday world. The “Language of the Circle.” In the Beginning was the Word. Dream circle is not a psychological support group. The Dreaming Stone As each person shares a dream in circle, she holds a stone. Sharing Dreams The dreamers pass the stone in a counterclockwise direction. The Counterclockwise Direction Cosmic energy moves counter clockwise. The Humility of Dreaming Challenges may occur within a dream circle.
Traditional Chinese medicine Traditional medicine in China Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an alternative medical practice drawn from traditional medicine in China. It has been described as "fraught with pseudoscience", with the majority of its treatments having no logical mechanism of action.[1][2] Medicine in traditional China encompassed a range of sometimes competing health and healing practices, folk beliefs, literati theory and Confucian philosophy, herbal remedies, food, diet, exercise, medical specializations, and schools of thought.[3] In the early twentieth century, Chinese cultural and political modernizers worked to eliminate traditional practices as backward and unscientific. Traditional practitioners then selected elements of philosophy and practice and organized them into what they called "Chinese medicine" (Zhongyi). The demand for traditional medicines in China has been a major generator of illegal wildlife smuggling, linked to the killing and smuggling of endangered animals.[10] History[edit]

Reincarnation and near-death experiences Reincarnation has been called by some to be the greatest unknown scientific discovery today. In the last chapter of Dr. Ian Stevenson's book entitled Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation (1967), he provides rigorous scientific reasoning to show how reincarnation is the only viable explanation that fits the facts of his study. He considers every possible alternative explanation for his twenty cases of young children who were spontaneously able to describe a previous lifetime as soon as they learned to talk. He was able to rule out each alternative explanation using one or more aspects of these cases.
