The author of this book believes that we have much to learn from the ancient wisdom of so called indigenous peoples, who are often marginalized by civilized society and religious institutions. He takes you on a journey through time to meet with and learn from the Baduys of Sundaland in the Indonesian archipelago and the natives of South America.

Nature is not something that must be controlled by force and manipulated according to our needs. We must approach nature with love, compassion and understanding. We all are parts and parcels of the same Existence. It is only by living in harmony with nature, that we can save the world and ourselves.
