Reader Reviews
This review is from: Activation of Energy (Helen & Kurt Wolff Book) (Paperback)
Teilhard is a man of words. He speaks easy. He is very knowledgable on biology, and on evolution. This book is a problem. This guy starts off with writings from Beijing as the second world war is about to begin. He is all about evolution, and that this war is helpful to the evolution of mankind. I nearly faint. How can somebody even explain this? But Teilhard is a different kind of fella: he tells you in ever kinder words that Nazis, Russians, Americans are all the same: WE ARE HUMANS. Teilhard is a biologist by nature and buy vision: he takes all the issues on a cosmic level, and there, we are united. We must obey the laws of university: get together, be kind, be united. That's what biology tells us - according to Mr Teilhard de Chardin. De Chardin is completely crazy, because he does not take into consideration our human spirit: we compete because we are edudated like that. De Chardin is completely sane, because he undertands that we are, each of us, unique, and we want to go for the sun, salvation, because we want to be complete human beings. Activation of Energy is a great book because it tells you how to be human; there is an energy within the book itself that is enormous. The fact that it takes you to a different level of consciousness is in itself a value. ... This book will make you think differently about yourself. As part of the universe, you have to contribute to evolution. ...
