Product Description
Review
Although on initial reading I found some of the prose to be quite densely written, I came to value Wilberg's style as the very expression of that soul world of which he so obviously partakes. In some books I underline a word here or there. Others I mark out an odd paragraph or two. In Head, Heart and Hara I had to resist the temptation to underline every joyous word Wilberg has written. It is brilliant writing and brilliant thought. --Marianne Broug - author of 'Seventeen Voices'
Product Description
Peter Wilberg not only contrasts the head- and heart-centred cultures of the West with the hara culture of Japan. He introduces an original and revolutionary understanding of the inner body of the human being and its centres - the 'soul centres of West and East'.

A book for a lifetime ...,
This review is from: Head, Heart and Hara: The Soul Centres of West and East (Paperback)
As I picked up his book I felt as though this was writing and thought for which I had been looking my entire life. It is not only an utterly profound and ingenious exposition of the very inwardness that I feel and sense as a human being (particularly as a musician and artist), it also addresses and clarifies in a completely cogent and highly insightful way, the many doubts and dilemmas that New Age spirituality, conventional medicine and psychiatry, and the materialistic standard have left me with. Although on initial reading I found some of the prose to be quite densely written, I came to value Wilberg's style as the very expression of that soul world of which he so obviously partakes. In some books I underline a word here or there. Others I mark out an odd paragraph or two. In Head, Heart and Hara I had to resist the temptation to underline every joyous word Wilberg has written.

A 'Center' in Aware Emobodiment,
By Mathew Love Waraksa - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Head, Heart and Hara: The Soul Centres of West and East (Paperback)
So, this review is a long time coming. I have read and re-read this book. I pour myself over it's pages, only to re-collect my reading, and want to re-view it yet again. Here in lies the most sophisticated response to trends in the new age, in humanistic psychology and philosophy, to the many variations on eastern meditation practices and the many appropriations by modern westernized social sub-cultures, of generations old, methods and theories of eastern philosophical progress. I have not come across such a well researched, and articulated, method for the realization of the primacy of awareness, over soul, spirit, matter, energy, etc. Though to be fair, I myself have been following the path to the observations made by the author through numerous authors, and techniques, for almost a decade, never quite making sense of what I'm listening for.
The Hara is no "energy center" it is the 'center' of Being, and as such, is the extension point of Awareness of Non-Being. This is grasped through identification with the Field-Dynamic Aware Center of Being, within the subjective space experienced as the abdominal space, termed tanden or hara in traditional Japanese culture. The ease with which what this implies is communicated, has peaked a great amount of personal interest in the corpus of Mr. Wilberg, and in Mr. Wilberg himself. I look forward to posting more reviews of other works of his. |
