Hi,
I wasn't too sure where to put this post, but maybe this forum section is the closest to it. I'm tempted to order the book from the title of the post, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience in reading it.

I haven't read that but I read the cosmic serpent which was interesting. Here's one of my favorite quotes from that book
Quote:
These enormous snakes are there, my eyes are closed and I see a spectacular world of brilliant lights, an in the middle of these hazy thoughts, the snakes start talking to me without words. They explain that I am just a human being. I feel my mind crack, and in the fissures, I see the bottomless arrogance of my presuppositions. It is profoundly true that I am just a human being, and, most of the time, I have the impression of understanding everything, whereas here I find myself in a more powerful reality that I do not understand at all and that, in my arrogance, I did not even suspect existed. I feel like crying in view of the enormity of these revelations. Then it dawns on me that this self-pity is a part of my arrogance. I feel so ashamed that I no longer dare feel ashamed.
I'd say nature is certainly intelligent and conscious

Here's a partly free book online about some of the stuff. Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm: Beyond the Doors of Perception
This book is on amazon and it's a pretty good read. There's quite a bit of practical math underlying nature. In the west math has become an abstract thing where in the ancient world they connected it to nature and the universe. http://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Guide-Constructing-Universe-Mathematical/dp/0060926716


This is from several different books not the one I posted above.

That's an exciting suggestion! Thanks. I'm thinking about some book I actually want to spend money on and order it. Now you gave me a new idea!
