An easy read with some great wisdom from the shamanistic tradition. Even though he works with shamans specific to the Andes Mtn, the wisdom shared is true for anyone.
Another absorbing read from Alberto Villoldo, distilling the messages and teachings he learned from spending time with Don Manuel, hearing about the Laika.He shares and expands on the 3 nightmares that have weakened our resolve and debilitated our spirit throughout history, attributes that are not only personal, but at the heart of society and how the Laika transform them.- the daydream of security turned into the nightmare of insecurity - how do you stay safe in a dangerous worldThere are four
Easy to read, interesting stories, and helpful reminders. I like the recommended exercises at the end. A great way to stay centered and connected.
In this fascinating book, Alberto Villoldo takes us into the world of the shaman. He talks about their teachings and practices such as dreaming and rituals. The shamans mastered the art of dreaming. Dreaming the world into being. He writes that we participate in creating our dreams consciously or unconsciously. We have three dreams that can turn into nightmares - These are safety/security, love and fear of death. There are some simple exercises in the book that are helpful. I enjoyed reading abo...
Very good described the will power of a Shaman described by Alberto Villoldo.
Another lovely book...thanks Alberto!! So much to learn xx
I had high expectations of this book but unfortunately I was disappointed.It is supposedly about finding a sacred dream, shamans of the Andes and luminous warriors.Unfortunately, I had difficulty in understanding what the book was all about. It was a bit too spacey, if one can say that, and not concrete and focused enough for me. There were too many new concepts and names to remember.There was the Primordial light and the power of Ti. There were the Laika, whoever they were. There was the myth o...
An inspiring reminder to dream big, shed the ego, and become love. It is filled with sublime insights into our divine nature, our power to transform life, and the beauty of transience. Villoldo shares his wisdom as a self-transformation guide, but it is heavily infused with the anthropology and beliefs of the Q’ero—a remote ethnic group in the southern highlands of the Andes—and one shaman in particular—Don Manuel Quispe—whom Villoldo travelled with for thirty years. The highlight of the Q’ero b...

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. This book made me cry tears of truth.
Good insight.
4.5/5Simple, easy read on taking in practices on Shamanism in three ways. It is filled with anecdotes from his own life while also providing an historical perspective and how it affects the world today.
My heart is overflowing with love. This book explained my world. Love is all. I have waited for this book to help me understand who I is .
Insightful book:1. Transform dream of security into "I am". Become the dreamer and not the dream, the storyteller and not the story. 2. Transform dream of permanence into discovering infinity. There is life in death and death in life. The beauty of impermanence is in the day to day and that this moment will never happen again. 3. Feeling love as the force that help us see the truth amidst the lies. When you practice truth perfectly, then everything you say becomes true, becomes so. Dream at one
Very good spiritual book. I loved the 3 ways at the end to transform your life. Found them relevant particularly the one on living in love and loving your enemy. I also liked that he touched upon both shamanism and Buddhism in his writings. One small thing, As I read more spiritual books it gets a bit frustrating as this one did in that it spends so much time on how not to live. I suppose appropriate for someone reading their first spiritual book. I will have to read some of his others.
Awesome read Highly recommend it. Very informative and beautifully written. I finished it in a week and am ready to ready to learn more
This tells about daydreaming and the concept of time and very insightful things.
Starting with the universal daydreams that keep us all in their thrall, Villoldo notes that each of these can ultimately become a nightmare. We imagine we are secure, but how can we really be safe? We dream that our existence or circumstances are permanent, but we know this is not true. We believe that love is unconditional and forever, but.... His analysis is a neat way of summing up the human condition. The author then explores the more purposeful and creative dreaming of the Andean and Amazon...
This book was a huge challenge for me, mainly because I didn’t know much about shamanism. I did understand the 3 dreams, and the idea that we live in 5 forces, and I thought these were well-explained. The most one that resonated with me was love, and that it’s important to love oneself because that would be unconditional.I felt the key of the book/shamanism is that we should meet our basic human needs (security, life, and love) through ourselves, rather than seek it externally. The challenge for...
我看的是中文版,語句之間的翻得感覺不太有邏輯,所以不好讀,但還是能懂。薩滿對愛的比喻那段很有趣:你的愛是玉米麵包,還是爆米花?
