A reading of all 3 can be quite inspiring. A print of this pdf is my recommending / notification tool (for highlighting Eisensteins thinking). The important second book, 'Sacred Economics', has been translated in many languages - see online on Eisensteins website (available under creative commons).

Splendid and amazing! an intruiging anthropological and linguistic study about the Pirahã, their language, their/our being human.

        ((reading again this, after 25 years))

Top fysicist Brian Greene explains string theory meaning. He wrote the book just before the LHC-affirmation (CERN) of the Higgs particle, thus Higgs field.

This well known, beautiful booklet has its place in this groping web site, in a harrowing way. It outlines dramatically the absurd suffering as emerging from a hypnothized society giving up the respect for and recognition of the sacred, accepting madness.

An astoundingly rich, delightful, essential, deepdugging multidimensional source story. A rewritten Genesis as told by the Essential Earth herself! Also an intensely dramatic spiritual call to invite the return of the (passionately living, earthbound-wise, creating) sacred Feminin (cfr. books 36, 38, 52, 129 etc.) in particular, and to discover the constitution of our egoless true souls during their human drama, in general.

About the very dramatic Greek situation as initiated by the Troika power, realizing its neoliberal inane theology.

Well... tarnishing information, this shocking book (and for me, the word 'Anunaki soul' was resounding).

or... 2000 pages of a sublime magic and connection with the Anima Mundi.
NO TRANSLATION, only available in Dutch

--------an intensly inspiring book.

WOW! This IS an important book! Well, after reading Brian Greene (book 109) THIS one is incomparably much more ...promising, fulfilling, touching wholeness. A pioneering, seminal book (but not so easy)! It makes me silent.
((btw it is announced as the first book of a trilogy; I'm curious for what's coming next, and I wish Jude Currivan much energy to accomplish her rich task.))

And indeed, also the state-of-the-art astrophysical reasearch of the European Southern Observatory (telescopes in the Atacama desert Northern Chile) has its appropriate place in this transformation web corner. Following this research in fascination nurtures my groping wondering, just as watching a nature documentary film or walking in nature offers this.

A best seller. A wonderful ode to the incredible richness of life, what a dazzling connection, what an abundant ecology party! Furthermore: the booklet shows implicitly the danger of 'simplicities' in our old linear, soulless, reductionist-materialistic view.
 
On the other hand: is reading this booklet not a push to dare to read book No.45? (Maja Kooistra: ONTMOETINGEN MET BOMEN, spirituele ervaringen tussen mens en natuur)

Just as the former book nr.142: a very useful and inspiring reading!

Easy-to-read critical testimonials from a philosopher-teacher, sometimes fascinating.

Clear, intense testimony of a Near-Death Experience.

re-reading because of "wonderfully fascinating" :-), and as a refreshment of the meaning

A wonderfully essential course that hopefully reaches many people, especially young people because they will in-form humanity tomorrow. This beautiful overview reminds me with pleasure how much I've been helped 28 years ago by many pioneering insights (biology, economics,...) by Elisabet Sahtouris in her 1989 book "GAIA - The Human Journey From Chaos to Cosmos" (Base for her in 2000 expanded book "EARTHDANCE - Living systems in evolution", = book nr.17).

Highly recommended... glad I could meet this advanced research.

After reading, a quarter of a century ago, the spicy work "The Sentence of Sickness" (1983, Dahlke and Dethlefsen), I looked for refreshment via the follow-up book by Dahlke - and indeed this book contains lots of wisdom!

Book that was recommended to me - reading was downright meaningful, even though I was sometimes bothered by the missing spiritual 'backing' of the author, clearly from his deep reductionistic / materialistic basis - nevertheless I learned a lot from his analyzes (important).

In the reading on this website I normally never select from the novels that I read, merely from so-called 'knowledge books'.
EXCEPTIONALLY A ROMAN. WHY?
Well, this little piece of prose as a pure ode to Being and Consciousness, as a striking sketch of the consciousness of a small predator, speaks of awareness-in-itself. Re-reading this simple gem (after 50 years) felt like a kind of 'calibration' for the broad spectrum of all sorts of other feelings / musings about Being and Consciousness.

Strong! Wise! Important! A teaching jewel offered by two splendid women, from within their rich shamanic / psychotherapeutic skills.

After meeting the content of this book in other readings and interviews, I'm eager to read now the book itself.
And indeed, the content IS a splendid instrument in becoming more 'your essentiality' - the impact of intergenerationally manifesting dimensions in the unconscious (family links) is an eye-opener, the understanding an important correcting tool. Also a good 'work-book'.

Continuing after 'meeting trauma' in former book nr.157, I'm guided to this thorough study. Illuminating! As the author underscores at the end: readers of this book join forever the club of women/men who understand the sad news that trauma has worldwide pandemic proportions, as well as the good news that deeply healing is really becoming available.

recommended, recommended and again recommended.

Splendid scientific inquiry on the miraculous power of thoughts. Simultanuously offering an approach to better accept the deep Universal logic. We are (and all is) a manifestation of the really fundamental cosmic stuff: consciousness, information, relation, Love.

This book is a real 'WOW' experience! I am grateful that Yanis Varoufakis was courageous in sharing his unique testimonial knowledge. Just as I was grateful to Peter Gøtzsche for his shocking book nr.179 ("Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime: How Big Pharma Has Corrupted Healthcare"). It's intriguing that these two books, in their description of inhuman madness, both excell in high honesty and high humaneness.

anthology from 3000 years of poetry,

This modest but very clear, deeply dramatic book is touching. It emphasizes, as book nr 100 does, our begging for the healing of our deeply suffering souls: culprits and victims. Moreover, it manifests (maybe unintentionally) the urge to leave behind our much too immature masculine dominance (most men and many women), to shift towards a humanity guided by principles of restored feminin values, to recognise a well grounded grandmother wisdom reclaiming the guidance of, at last, being human in a sacred way within this sacred living planet. As many other standing women (ever more and more), Marie and her strong faith inspires to this.

4 books, in order these are books no. 165, 166, 168 and 275.

Of Charles Eisenstein journalists once told that he not only has brains as a planet but also a heart as a second planet, and that he is too intelligent to seek confrontation just like that. The fact is that he helps many to 'understand' themselves in depth. Thus, recognition of what is present in our heart and begging for recognition can grow. Curing control and slavery matrix, for example. Being familiar with his "insertion", I am confident that his latest book already touches on essential reframing about many of the world's problems ... that finally root in me and in you. The suffering living planet - and we ourselves - begs us to become wiser, E. helps us with this! (and it's urgent!).

A sparkling, spicy upholstered book. Getting excited by the content is a step on the way to maturing.

---------------------------------------------------------------
And now, ... now I really want to play a role, that of the "reviewer of this imilla starry tale", as if it were written by another than myself.
This paragraph is the lid of 'a jug'. Do I open it? Yes?
Okay then, here we go!
 
 
After reading this extraordinary and not so easy philosophical story, "the reviewer" has written what follows, giving his review this title:
 
U N I V E R S E _ O F _ M E A N I N G
 
This story is rich with fascinating meanings,
it shows dizzying dimensions on multiple levels:
 
 
-- not only in terms of hyper-realism in fiction, which can make you gasp, f.i. by a footnote about an "ordinary boring Monday",
 
-- not only in terms of the types of consciousness touched, and their compelling invitation to accept it from the quantum universe itself,
 
-- not only in terms of the piercing intensity in showing that "character sketch" of corrupted consequences from a mad patriarchy-civilization,
 
-- not only in terms of obvious clarity with which the "feminine principle" is naturally portrayed as "hallmark" of both love ànd delusion-free truth,
 
-- not only in terms of a background sound of somewhat allegorical tones in a few keys, which continues to resonate softly throughout the whole story,
 
-- not only in terms of contrast between the first 30 pages, sounding in a gray of old paradigm, and the last 30 pages in sound of a full scent-color of love,
 
-- but also in terms of a fundamental and deep credibility, with which all the refreshing wisdom in the story may do its 'purifying' healing, ever deeper.
 
 
Because indeed, as the author did promise, in advance, on the back cover of his book, ànd on his website: wisdom in the story will more or less be able to transform you! There is much push towards delusion-free love-truth in the story which you will never again let go of (unless you really want to throw away that invitation beforehand, radically and consciously).
 
By the way, there is quite much advanced frontline-science breathing within this wisdom. And so, ...read on; let yourself be transformed, becoming a partaker of an adulthood love-humanity.

An intelligent and very good problem description, however without sufficiently uncovering the deepest, really essential roots (f.i. a worldwide crisis of rather spiritual dimension, demanding other kinds of intelligence to discuss, as is exhaustingly understood by indigeneous tribes, cfr."Koyaanisqatsi"). Btw, the writer seems to reflect almost exactly my own intensely ...panicing stand of 10 to 12 years ago.
 
For less informed people certainly an excellent 'must read'. And what for the well-informed? Well, I dear to think that it's needed for them as well to read this, but rather as an incentive to wonder about 'being human', and then becoming aware of the subsonic vibration of an emerging new paradigm.

orig.: African philosophy through ubuntu (Zimbabwe 1999, 2005)
Giving yourself to these insights, possibly recognizing them a little, is a very important source of maturing! It is of great importance for all of us to become human. Transformation involves a significant proportion of 're-sourcing', which will allow us to get away from a runaway deep 'separation' and fragmentation, and to resume our becoming-humanity-together. Ubuntu inspires, and uncovers our western tunnel vision that, finally, has pushed us 'by itself' onto the raping Anthropocene drama. The parallel of ubuntu with indigenous wisdom (oneness) among tribal peoples worldwide, and with what the heart 'actually' knows, is striking. Realizing that Anthropocene fundamentally questions our healing capacity:
thanks Mogobe Ramoso for your help with this.

 
very simple, easy and quickly read booklet. Moreover it's a nice explanation in the margin before reading book no.136 (Jude Currivan, "the Cosmic Hologram, In-formation at the Center of Creation").

 
Good and clear interpretation of dark, dangerous phenomena.

[My hope? One half of mankind, women, is in principle very suited to develop a deep turning of such dangerous tracks, by manifesting / reclaiming their grounded, natural, pristine truth, which is: feminine values at work. Where woman reckognizes her Yin-strenght from truth of absorbing love and speaks in this way, the invititation for man arises to support this manifesting strenght, as such affirming his deepest sacred masculinity. And as such realizing a paradigm shift.]

!!
 

Delightful and fascinating! And inspiring in our times of yearning transformation.

Clear reminder of the pioneering meaning of Jung's work and life - a very needed, inspiring source for transformation.

 
Meeting the relisience of people, and surely of women, ...so important for our transformative and creativity demanding (= passion and love demanding) futures.
 

Woow !!! :-)
See also Book 109 (Brian Green) and certainly also Book 136 (Jude Currivan).
This extremely rich book (how I enjoyed it!) could only have been written around this time. We do indeed live in very powerful transformative times ...

A small book, but a giant, fresh, essential message: love. In response to terror. Thanking my brother who gave me this precious gem.

Good addition to that ever clearer answer direction, as our hearts know: respect, love. And it will let evaporate every ounce of elitism, the source of so many bad scars in our being human.

Although I have fully read this book, which contains numerous fragments of some 13 writing witnesses, it became a very slow reading. Of course it pinched sometimes my throat, of course sometimes I wanted to stop reading, but I had no choice! After all, it is the only meaningful way to deal with it, we can learn from the horror misery that people inflict on each other. To take a timid look at it. To feed our soul with it. To know that the deepest black must be seen in order to receive the brightest light.

This book does sketch a personality, and that's nice. But above all it outlines the wonderful premise that when a person hears and follows her heart, a path becomes visible that tends to open up to higher, more correct, fuller. Anyway! Fortunately, the author of this book has also followed her heart and made this book come true. So that I could absorb this valuable informative and educational testimony.
In one way or another, does this book not tie in (almost as a correction!...) with some elements in book 260 (Ann Heberlein about Hannah Arendt) in its treatment of good-evil?
 
Then this consideration: a lot of "truth" in our complex civilization isn't but empty sound bites and illusion and hollow ego inflation; the deep truth of love however is immense!, it encompasses the whole in its endless truth, and has 24-karat purity. Well, reading this book is a good vantage point to see love at work (in the shadow of the brutal raw loveless untruth).

(engelstalig origineel: 2016)
A wonderfully thorough in-depth book. I learn a lot from this unique contribution! It makes me grateful to the writer, she really helps us. My added perspective: racism is like ANY elitism: degrading! Elitism takes place whenever I or you realize my-/yourself as higher and 'more' than another (education level or whatever), thus violating the dignity and miracle value of the other, it is a kind of rape! And it is even the base for our enormous civilization problem: a disrespectful rape discourse (rooted in a spiritual crisis of, among other things, rejected feminine image of God, and the loss of multidimensional [shamanic] awareness) that eventually culminates in our each-for-himself economy, what inevitably glides into the Anthropocene (life itself, living planet and humanity in great danger ). Fortunately (as a result?) there arises simultaneously some kind of collective acceleration of the 'heart concept'; a corrective boost is rapidly growing. As if after millennia of guidance by a swelling left-hemisphere 'too-stupid' (McGilchrist) [too narrow-masculine solar culture guidance] our hearts are starting to refuse this track, understanding that love / respect is at last the 'real stuff'. Apparently we are shifting from very dark subterranean (subconscious) dead end cellars to sparkling transformative times, approaching a quantum leap of consciousness it seems. This solid book testifies of such a journey.

We need books that destroy connotations such as white = the norm or white = superior. Because very stupid and deeply degrading. Moreover, ANY elitism is degrading, whenever you or I feel ourselves as higher or 'more' than someone else (educational level or whatever), this exploits someone else's lowering, violates their dignity and miracle value, it is a kind of rape. We have to look for the traces of it in ourselves, catching them makes them evaporate. This sharply written book can help with this.

A wonderful annual tour along all those marvellous and intruiging crop circles, within their surrounding landscapes (England). An impressive tour, both because of his really beautiful photography, mostly from the helicopter, and equally impressive because of her clear and wise, lovely and caring reflections, about what seems to manifest itself here...

A nice testimony of a city that lives from, among other things, passionate concerns and therefore initiatives. So world improvers, individuals and organizations. When the heart speaks.

One of several books I ever read on this fascinating subject.

Recommended by my son-artist. In any case a fascinating reading, but implicitly also situating being-human in development.

We need books that show us how racism is out of place and inappropriate and how widespread. The degrading aspect of actually EVERY elitism manifests itself ANY time you or I feel your-/myself higher or 'more' than another (education level or whatever). This violates the sacred dignity and miracle value of the other, it is a kind of rape! And it is even the base for our enormous civilization problem: a disrespectful rape discourse (rooted in a spiritual crisis of, among other things, a rejected feminine god image, and the loss of multidimensional [shamanic] awareness) that has ultimately culminated in our individuality economy (lost tribal acting), and as such inevitably in our Anthropocene (life itself and planet and humanity in danger). Fortunately, insight is growing. Transparency wants to increase fast. As if after millennia of ongoing swelling of a left brain “too stupid” (McGilchrist) [too narrow-masculine solar culture guidance] our hearts refuse to follow this tracks, and begin to understand that love / respect is the 'real stuff'; it is an inspiration flux . Apparently we are shifting from very dark to sparkling transformative times, approaching a quantum leap of consciousness it seems. This beautiful modest booklet - but with a testimony of enormous value, is also a testimony of this strong heart journey.

Remarkable story of suffering and being human. Also curious: immediately after my reading, I searched whether this Mrs. Brenner from 1924 might still be alive, she appeared to have died 2 weeks ago.
