Publisher's Synopsis
""The Two Hands of God: The Myths of Polarity"" is a thought-provoking book written by Alan W. Watts. In this book, Watts explores the concept of polarity and how it has been depicted in various myths and religions throughout history. He delves into the idea that the universe is made up of opposing forces, such as light and dark, good and evil, and male and female. Watts argues that these opposing forces are not truly separate, but rather two sides of the same coin, and that they are necessary for balance and harmony in the world.Throughout the book, Watts draws on examples from a wide range of cultures and traditions, including Christianity, Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. He examines the myths and stories associated with these religions and shows how they all contain elements of polarity. He also discusses the ways in which individuals can use this understanding of polarity to achieve greater balance and harmony in their own lives.Overall, ""The Two Hands of God: The Myths of Polarity"" is a fascinating exploration of a complex and nuanced concept. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, religion, or spirituality, and offers valuable insights for anyone seeking to better understand themselves and their place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
