Description



About the Book



Only modern humans have imagined ourselves as gods... And come to the edge of destroying life on earth.



Book Synopsis



Open Reality speaks to the world behind and beneath our daily collective trauma. It opens practical possibilities for creating a shared, flexible culture that knows the natural world both as family and as a working partner. It invites the reader to a world of possibility. What if industrial civilization isn't the best that humans can do? What if we weren't alone in the world, but embedded in a universe of conscious, intentional, powerful beings?



About the Author



Shodo Spring's written work includes Take Up Your Life: Making Spirituality Work in the Real World (Tuttle 1996), editing Shohaku Okumura's The Mountains and Waters Sutra: A Practitioner's Guide to Dogen's "Sansuikyo" (Wisdom 2018), numerous essays in anthologies, and an ongoing monthly blog.

Shodo's ordination name means "right way" or "true path." That path integrates activism with spiritual practice and deeply nourishing engagement with the earth. Shodo has participated in long retreats, public sitting meditation as activism, and walking hundreds of miles, including leading the 2013 Compassionate Earth Walk along the planned northern route of the KXL pipeline. Mountains and Waters Alliance expresses her vision of humans working with the beyond-human world to heal and regenerate life on earth. She lives on a small farm, which serves as a learning laboratory for growing those relationships, and as a residential community of practice.
