Produktinformationen zu „Yuga (ePub)“
YUGA describes five falls—the Fall into Time, the Reign of Quantity, the Mutation into Machinery, the End of Nature, and the Prison of Unreality. Taken together, these comprise the fate of historical humanity and are, the author is convinced, one-way trips. And the urban-industrial-vehicular-commercial-technological-pharmaccutical-electronic-information-spectator secular society they have produced has ripped the human world to shreds... The book is hard-hitting, but readers who find it disturbing overlook the invincible beatitude that undergirds its every line. When we awaken form our modern nightmare—as sooner or later we shall—this book will help us remember what nightmare was. In YUGA the perennial wisdom has found a new and clarion voice.Glass's poetic and novelistic vocabulary, combined with exhaustive and blithely eclectic research, the mind-boggling diversity of his sources and references, even the peculiar Table of Contents, is a radical departure. Equally at gone with the Diamond Sutra and the Grundrisse of Karl Marx, while being a careful student of magazine displays at the checkout counters of supermarkets, the author cheerfully presents his book as provocation rather than as argument.But master achievement of YUGA, which lies neither in its 'argument' nor its style, is its voice. That voice speaks so palpably from the author's heart that we find it resonating on our hearts as well. The final pages of YUGA are celebrations of joy and love, and the discerning reader will detect those qualities lurking between the lines of the book's every page. For remember, Marty Glass is a spokesman for the truth that underlies all the world's wisdom traditions. Behind the world of appearances—samsara, maya and the shadows on Plato's cave—stands the uncreated Light, Reality, which is eternal Bliss. This reality speaks to individuals in the darkest times, and its grace never falters. No one need be completely captive to history's downward trajectory. Its dream unfolds, and we can actually love that dream if we are awake to the fact that is we ourselves that are, collectively, the immortal Dreamer. The message of YUGA is the message of Tradition, the Sophia Perennis.For those seriously concerned with the plight of present-day humanity and the unprecedented crises through which human society is passing, this book offers many profound insights. It can offer guidelines and openings onto the understanding of the traditional world and that perennial wisdom whose loss has brought about the present age of spiritual darknessSEYYED HOSSEIN NASR, author of Knowledge and the Sacred, etc.
Autoren-Porträt von Marty Glass
Marty Glass lives with his wife two miles up a dirt road beyond the power and water lines, 'off the grid', in an owner-built home in Northern California. Brings in firewood, runs the pump, and tackles emergencies. He has five children. He has worked as a college English teacher, a warehouseman, a school janitor, and, until his recent retirement, a second- and sixth-grade teacher in an elementary school. He has played piano in a jazz band and has been telling stories to children for forty years. Marty's close friend Huston Smith has enthusiastically endorsed his other books published by Sophia Perennis, includingEastern Light in Western Eyes andThe Sandstone Papers.
