An Unlikely Prophet

A Metaphysical Memoir by the Legendary Writer of Superman and Batman
TaschenbuchKartoniert, Paperback
224 Seiten

Inner Traditions/Bear & Companyerschienen am24.05.20062nd Edition, New edition
Writer Alvin Schwartz received a great deal of attention from fans when he began talking publicly about his seventeen-year stint writing "Superman" and "Batman" comics. One of the individuals who contacted him was no ordinary fan, but a seven-foot Buddhist monk named Thongden, a tulpa or individual who was thought into being by a Tibetan mystic. Thongden put Alvin Schwartz on the path without form, an amazing journey he took in the company of Hawaiian kahunas, quantum physicists, and superheroes. Superman, as it turns out, is also a tulpa, a being created by thought that takes on a life of its own and, in Mr. Schwartz's words, is an archetype expressing the sense of nonlocality that is always present in the back of our minds - that capacity to be everywhere instantly. "Superman" is one of the specific forms that embodies our reality when we're at our highest point, when we're truly impermeable, indestructible, totally concentrated, and living entirely in the now, a condition each of us actually attains from time to time.mehr
