Description

Explore the lands, myths, and prophecies of the Hopi people, chase after coyotes in the deserts of Arizona, and find a new world with Fifth World Medicine.
What begins as a hunger for authentic medicine in a young medical student evolves into a quest for an entirely new world, a Fifth World, where the line between what is material and spiritual has been dissolved. In Fifth World Medicine, you will explore the lands, myths, and prophecies of the Hopi People, chase after coyotes in the deserts of Arizona, enter a sweat lodge with a shamanic healer in the far North Country of Canada, embrace the power of silence and the medicine of enlightenment, go on a vision quest in the depths of the Grand Canyon, and find your roots in the sacred temple of the human body and the soil of Mother Earth.
Fifth World Medicine dares to challenge Westerners and anyone who dwells in the Fourth World, a techno-industrial world where dualistic thinking and linear, scientific methodologies assert their hegemony—leading to disease in Mother Earth and her inhabitants. Fifth World Medicine provides an exit path for those who hunger for something more than the Fourth World. Fifth World Medicine satisfies humanity’s deep, collective hunger for lasting health as it integrates one’s spirit, mind, body, and Earth. If you feel this hunger, follow the wolf on this journey to the Fifth World—a journey guaranteed to test your worldview and entire understanding of what is true.

I am deeply enjoying Fifth World Medicine .... As I am reading, rabbit holes appear and lead me into other interesting areas. The book lends itself well to almost a daily meditation, where after a chapter, the desire to digest and explore the concepts overcomes the temptation to rush onwards. In particular, engaging me with the physical world... It’s beautiful.

Fifth World Medicine is a highly thought-provoking, enlightening and powerful book that forces readers to step outside of their narrow “Fourth World” thinking to begin dreaming of a world where dreams can actually thrive. I will be happily recommending this book to all of my family, friends and colleagues, as “The Book They Must Read in 2022!”

Dr Hughes’ book Fifth World Medicine is a great vision on the future of medicine and culture. Only by restoring our humanity to the field of medicine and returning to right relation to our larger ecosystem will we be able to heal as a humanity and truly thrive. All healthcare practitioners who share a vision of a sustainable future would do well to listen and consider these deep teachings.

Only those
who have learned to live on the land
where the waters run pure
will find sanctuary. …
You must go to where the Eagles fly,
to where the Wolf roams,
to where the Bear lives.
Here you will find life
because they will always go to where the water is pure
and the air can be breathed.
Live where the trees are old.
They are the lungs of this Earth,
and they purify the air. …
They can change it by breathing and they give clean air back to you.
Where the snow falls,
you will find protection from the plagues and viruses.
The snow is a great purifier.
Go to where the Mother’s blanket heals your body
as well as your emotions,
where she will give you new dreams of the emerging world.
If you learn to live in these places,
you will live through these times. …

The Fifth World is the one we are about to enter.
In this new world,
we will learn to balance our spiritual and physical natures. 1

About the Author
PREFACE
“H unger,” or longing for someone or something, can drive us insane or inspire great works of art or acts of valor. Hunger fans the flames of identity, courage, and love in all heroes of ancient and present eras. Hunger inspires the singer to create a first radio hit and the lover to ask for a first date. However, for hunger to transform us, our works, or our planet, one essential element must prevail—an element only a few are bold enough to voluntarily choose.
The essential element behind this transformation is an open heart to the quest necessary to fulfill our hunger. If worthwhile, a hunger-inspired quest requires that we open our hearts or fail. Maria Coffey, in her book Explorers of the Infinite : The Secret Spiritual Lives of Extreme Athletes , describes the quest as one in which our bodies and souls gain full exposure to this world and beyond. Coffey quotes Sir Thomas Moore: “We must live in the freefall of Infinity; standing at the edge, the heart opens.” 1
What does Coffey’s phrase mean? She comments:
It is often the hardest, most challenging experiences of our lives that crack us open. For some people, these experiences are chosen, or accepted as consequence of risk-taking. For others—for most of us—they come without warning. Unlikely gifts that rip away our layers of insulation, allowing us glimpses of the mysterious, the ineffable—the infinite realms of human consciousness. 2
To sum this up, to have an open-hearted pursuit of our hunger, we must be vulnerable enough to put at risk our core understandings of life, even our temporal identity as only physical beings, to find fulfillment. Carlos Castaneda sums up this truth in The Teachings of Don Juan : “The end result which shamans like Don Juan sought for their disciples was a realization which, by its simplicity, is so difficult to attain: that we are beings that are going to die … We must voluntarily acquiesce to infinity … Our lives originate in infinity, and they end up wherever they originated: infinity.” 3
Ultimately, our hungers and their resulting quests for fulfillment stretch beyond our imagination or desire into an exploration of the infinite. Following this hunger—with an open heart—toward an ineffable, infinite destination can lead to great transformation of our beings. Perhaps our hunger, all hunger, exists as a collective hunger, a primal hunger that all humans (or even all beings) have as an innate part of current existence. Some observers describe this “collective and even individual hunger” as “desperation.” Henry David Thoreau supports this line of thinking when he writes, “The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation.” 4 “Desperation” is a strong word. It literally means, “at the end of one’s rope or tether; at the end of one’s endurance or resources, out of options; exasperated, frustrated.” 5
Are we really all that hungry inside, at the ends of our ropes, unable to get any more fulfillment or any more sustenance in what the Hopi people call the Fourth World? Has our hunger reached the point of desperation, or is it merely the ache of an unfulfilling life? And if we admit to this hunger, are we open to the point of risking our hearts and all our beliefs to seek full satisfaction beyond our current world? And what exactly is it that we are truly desperate for in th
