Touch the Ocean: The Power of Our Collective Emotions
Before reading this book, let go of all previously conceived notions of the world as we know it. For the sheer fun of it let this new information sit for a while before making a judgment. Wasn't Albert Einstein known as the mad scientist? And now he's hailed as a genius. With the acute change in weather patterns, what have we got to lose if we choose to listen to a man ahead of his time. This stellar book takes us on a personal journey of his life and how it led to his work in the Ocean. He writes of the effect our thoughts and feelings have on a global scale. It s at times hilarious and serious. I loved the part where he and his dad had a joint craniosacral therapy session with the therapists, 'Chas and Cheryl,' very poignant. There are beautiful passages on healing in the ocean. A page-turner of a book! --Geraldine Nolan, Dublin, Ireland, Environmentalist/TherapistJames Nemec has leapfrogged Jung and has ridden chaos theory into the universe of the mind - the collective mind - the group think of society. He sees a single entity of interconnection, as were it a single brain, a singularity of so many discrete neurons, each inexplicable - but acting on and acted on by the physical world. The world shapes us. We, collectively, shape the world. Hard to pin it down, but so is weather. Attaboy, James! --Roy Nuzzo, MD, Surgeon, Diplomat of Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Rutgers, and former U.S. Naval OfficerThis is not a self-help book in the literal sense. It is a literary view into a practitioner's process of discovery and self-mastery. This little book is an opening into process, a true artistic achievement as the author has provided us with a work that is intimate without being personalized to the point of idiosyncratic to him alone. It touches a place of internal inquiry lightly with genuine sweetness. --Tracy L.
