Review

"The World Is As You Dream It is one of those rare books that tells a riveting story at the same time as it provides deep insights into what makes us who we are and the world what it is. I was so riveted to this book that I couldn't put it down for a second until I finished reading it."

Richard Evans Schultes, Ph.D., Harvard Jeffrey Professor of Biology, Director of Harvard Botanical Museum, author of Plants of the Gods

A magnificent book! It has a place of honor in my personal library....a most valuable contribution.

This book allowed me to value a part of my soul that our culture foolishly and fearfully demands is not valuable. One of the concerns raised in this book that I found very useful is: That our culture has substituted our "valuable life experiences" for "beliefs in fantasy experiences". Read this book if you want to start appreciating the differences between: Dream vs fantasy; Life vs knowledge; Value vs belief; Support vs product; Diversity vs poverty;

To Create a New World, We Must Create a New Dream 17 Oct 2001
By Cynthia Sue Larson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
John Perkins' book, THE WORLD IS AS YOU DREAM IT is one of those rare books that tells a riveting story at the same time as it provides deep insights into what makes us who we are and the world what it is. I was so riveted to this book that I couldn't put it down for a second until I finished reading it.

The big idea in THE WORLD IS AS YOU DREAM IT is outlined by shamans in Ecuador who describe to Perkins the difference between living one's fantasies and living one's dream -- and how this difference has enormous personal and global repercussions. Healing involves changing one's dream; replacing a dream of illness with one of health. As one shaman tells Perkins, "I don't heal. I simply help them change their dream."

Perkins has been bringing people to learn from native shamans for many years -- living true to a desire he had since childhood to see indigenous peoples teach westerners their ways, and in so doing, change the course of history. Shamans have a strong need to change things, and Perkins does a fabulous job of describing some of his experiences visiting native shamans in Ecuador who demonstrate their healing and psychonavigation skills. A doctor who was part of Perkins' group was certain she died after ingesting ayahuasca (also known as "vine of the soul", or "vine of death") -- and she was also certain that a Shuar shaman brought her back to a healthy body by sucking the toxins from her and vomiting them nearby.

What impresses me most about THE WORLD IS AS YOU DREAM IT is the way Perkins illuminates the big picture of what humans are doing on Earth at the same time as he shares moving personal accounts of people who come to the Amazon and Andes to receive healings and gain vision in their lives. We are all interconnected, and dreaming this dream together... and we change this world by changing our perceptions. Dream change is an essential skill that everyone concerned with the future of humans on Earth has a vested interest in, and that we all can learn.

If you are ready to journey to a place where "what we dream, happens", this is the book for you!

Great book for the both the inner and outer explorer 6 Dec 2000
By Abrams - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I highly recommend this book. It is a true account of a doctor who takes people into the rain forests to stay with the people of the forest. Everyone involved begins to question the reality in which they live. Along with documented medical healings, many take an inward journey into the soul with a great shaman. The doctor still continues to take people into the forest, and the book contains information to get in touch with him. This was one the first books I read when I began to search for something more than the capitalistic concrete souless world around here. I truely enjoyed this book.
