The Secret Life of Nature

More about the book

After "The Secret Life of Plants," Peter Tompkins introduces the ineffable world of nature spirits, invisible to normal human perception but operational in reality, as reported over the centuries by mystical teachings up to contemporary theosophy and anthroposophy. Gnomes, fairies, nymphs, and fire spirits have always been protagonists in myths, legends, and religions around the world. Throughout its evolution, humanity's investigation into the possible spiritual world underlying the natural world has been relentless. The subatomic research of recent quantum physics offers unique reflections and connections with the insights of ancient wisdom about the invisible world.
