Inspired by groundbreaking dialogues that the author organized between Native American elders and leading-edge Western scientists to explore the underlying principles of the cosmos, this book offers a radical revisioning of how we think. Asking questions such as, Is it possible to come up with an original thought?, What does it mean to be human?, and How has our thinking created our world today?, Parry challenges us to consider many of our most basic assumptions. To think originally--as in thinking new thoughts that have never been thought or said before--is according to Parry, largely an illusion. So, too, is the idea of linear human progress. Most of us have traveled far from our ancestral lands, and in so doing, lost connection with place, the origin of our consciousness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOriginal Thinking \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a radical revisioning of how we think and what it means to be human. It invites us to reintegrate our hearts with our heads and to expand our self-imposed narrowing of consciousness. In doing so we reconnect with the living, original source--nature and her interconnected elements and cycles--and embrace the communion of old and new, rational and intuitive, and masculine and feminine. Ultimately, Parry shows us how to create the tapestry of truly original thinking and to restore thought as a blessing, as a whole and complete transmission from Spirit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003ePART ONE (ORIGIN): Is it possible to come up with an original thought?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1.

Just as a traditional Native American potter begins a new pot with shards of old pots--honoring the ancestors, bringing the energies of the past into the present--Original Politics re-constellates the nation as a whole out of the seemingly disparate shards from our origins. The most significant forgotten piece is the profound effect Native America had on the founding values of this nation. Original Politics convincingly demonstrates how the best aspects of the founding vision of America were inspired, or directly appropriated, from living, Native American cultures: concepts such as natural rights, liberty, and egalitarian justice. Further, Parry traces the influence of Native America not only on the founding fathers, but on the 'founding mothers' of the 19th century women's movement; as well as the 19th century abolitionist and modern ecological movements. Native America has inspired what Parry sees as the sacred purpose of the nation: bringing all the world's peoples together on one soil in a harmonious cultural mosaic of unity in diversity. While there have been periodic setbacks (devolution) in our nation's history, including today, these only serve as catalysts reigniting our sacred purpose. America is creating a new melting pot, and like the original vision, it will be a creation from the many into the one--only this time it must not leave anyone out. This includes the natural world. Original Politics is ultimately about respecting all forms of life and all forms of political expression as different aspects of one whole. It is a reclamation project that brings people, land, and nation together as one. The overall effect of the book is profoundly healing.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":50384298344721,"sku":"CIN1590795032LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53099670503697,"sku":"CIN1590795032VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53365383233809,"sku":"CIN1590795032G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1590795032.jpg?v=1751245573"},{"product_id":"original-love-book-glenn-aparicio-parry-9781590795743","title":"Original Love","description":"Original love is love from the origin, mother, or Source, and as such transcends any limitations of time or space. It is love that has always been here and always will be here, love that is timeless and whole.Glenn Aparicio Parry tells a story of how humanity, nature, and love co-evolved. In archaic times, we were one with Mother Earth, immersed in love; then we separated from Mother Earth' s womb. In the magical and mythical eras that followed, we developed ceremonies and stories to recapture a feeling of oneness. Modern rational thought enabled great scientific advancement, but is less relational, more abstract-- causing love itself to become an abstraction-- a fairy tale between lovers rather than an immersion into the entirety of nature. Original Love repositions love in its rightful place: as a timeless source of wholeness. Love is the most powerful force in the universe with the capacity to integrate the wisdom of the ages. This understanding of love will soon become fully known.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53482655842577,"sku":"NGR9781590795743","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781590795743.jpg?v=1781171771"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-glenn-aparicio-parry.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
