<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Opening the Vermillion Spirit</em>, the sequel and companion to <em>Way of the Living Ghost</em>, moves from the nigredo, the dark waters of shadow work, to focus on the human. What makes us human, humane? In a dialogue between "Baby's Breath" and "Brittle Bones," Anderson unpacks a new meditation on the Daoist approach to humanity.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"John is creating a body of work that slips through the cracks, and bursts into being like mycelial fruit in a dark hollow: or like a vermillion bird</p><p>that rises from the depths of the Northern waters to ascend unto the heights of the Southern reaches. We are reminded that the Sage always</p><p>faces South in the classical Chinese worldview, and in this new text, John makes the critical turn from the path of the living ghost, to the communion, communication, and consanguinity with the Heart Spirit: the Shen. Taking the ontological turn, paradoxically is the path of return. Opening to the multiple, returns one to the unity within that multiplicity." </p><p><br></p><p>-Brandt Stickley, L.Ac</p><p>Assistant Professor</p><p>College of Classical Chinese Medicine</p><p>National University of Natural Medicine</p><p>Po rtland, Oregon</p><br>
