Kogi - Leçons spirituelles d'un peuple premier

by Lucas Buchholz

Lucas Buchholz a été invité par les Anciens Kogis à leur rendre visite, dans les hautes montagnes de la côte caraïbe colombienne. Il a appris à connaître leur culture qui a survécu et prospéré pendant des milliers d’années. Ce livre est une occasion unique de nous asseoir, avec les Kogis, lorsqu’ils partagent leurs visions du monde, qui est l’essence et le fondement de leur tradition ancestrale. Ces conversations sont d’une importance vitale, et leur sagesse pragmatique est adaptée à notre époque actuelle de changement dans le monde. Les Kogis ont choisi de nous parler maintenant car, ayant observé de près notre développement depuis la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, ils reconnaissent que notre mode de pensée est devenu nuisible à nos vies et à la terre, et que nous sommes tous confrontés à des défis écologiques, sociaux, sanitaires et individuels sans précédent. Les points de vue et les principes que partagent les Kogis nous offrent de nouvelles approches pour trouver des solutions dans tous les domaines de notre vie. Ils ne suggèrent pas que nous renoncions à notre mode de vie moderne, mais nous incitent à nous souvenir de l’origine, et à changer notre regard. Les Kogis ne sont pas la relique d’un passé ancien, ils sont l’une des dernières tribus vivantes qui ont réussi à conserver intactes leurs connaissances ancestrales et à ne pas être touchées par la mondialisation.

Sehr inspirierend! Die Beschreibung der Kultur der Kogi war zwar teilweise etwas schwer zugänglich, umständlich geschrieben und für mich persönlich etwas zu tief in die Spiritualität, allerdings ist ihre Lebensweise und Mentalität sehr beeindruckend. Sicher können wir viel von ihrem Selbstverständnis, ihrem Miteinander und ihrer friedlichen Art lernen. Vor allem die Beschreibung solcher Möglichkeiten am Ende des Buches fand ich spannend.

A very important read for all who wish for humanity and the Earth to thrive together

I am very grateful this book has come along to help guide and reorient humanity during the most misguided and disorienting of times. Thank you to the Kogi and to the author for bringing these thought-provoking questions, information, codes down off the mountain so that we may all start to contemplate new possibilities.

This book is really hard to get through. The whole basis of the Koji’s thoughts, beliefs, and actions are based on myth and legend. There is nothing in this book I found applies to the world outside an extremely secluded area. He talked about essentially humanity being destroyed because of humans not taking care of the earth. I’m guessing the Koji are ignorant of mass extinctions throughout history that had nothing to do with humans. Another thing that got me was talking about vaccines and medicines being poisons and all you need to heal is from the earth. I think anyone with diseases like typhus, TB or malaria would disagree. The Koji don’t experience disease because they are secluded, not because of a mythical balance with the earth. Yes, we should all treat the environment better, but a lot of the ideas here stem from ignorance. And I’m not disrespecting them or their way of life, it’s just that they are ignorant to the rest of the world and history and science, which is a problem in the application of their ideas.

Plant only what you need, take only what you must, and live in a small pocket of the world you tend as it's guardian.
Wouldn't that be nice?
This works if you live in a remote, hard to reach region without contact to others and have resources near at hand suitable to your needs.
A reality for very few.
Still a nice read and the idea of living in harmony with each other and nature makes me envious for what, we as a society, have forsaken in pursuit of the all-mighty dollar.

Just love it! should be a mandatory reading for anyone. and mostly those who believe that the world can still be a balance place for everyone including all beings in nature and nature it self. the teachings are just reminders of ways of living and being that we should have never forgotten and abandoned. but I still believe in the future

Küsitakse ebamugavaid küsimusi, nagu kelle mõtteid me mõtleme või miks me disainime oma elukeskkonna ebatervislikuks.
Tõlge pole just parim.

This book is one of the most inspirational and thought-provoking books I have ever read. It delves into a culture that is so different from all we know, highly connected to nature—a culture that still works in an almost perfect balance with nature and remembers how to take care of the animals, the trees, and the humans. Almost all our perspectives on the psyche and on health, on how to deal with nature issues, seem almost childish when compared to the way the Kogi deal with this. They possess some of the wisdom keys for some of the most challenging issues of our time. Worth reading, and if you are not a German native speaker, I saw that this was translated into Spanish as well. Maybe there will be an English version at some point. This has to become a hype; thoughts of the Kogi as a hype, and the world would be a better place within weeks...
