Illustrated w/demonstrative drawings, images, throughout. Brilliant and mystical book threatens to overturn our ordered view of the world. It argues that we are poised on the threshold of a new age of thought. Drawing on many different branches of knowledge, Dr. Blair show that pursuits of science have already forced man back into himself and his psyche, through which he experiences. He then demonstrates how the intuitions of myth, the acient occult arts, the mysitcal and mantic rituals of religions are the remains of a lore of energy-rhythms that converges with discoveries concerning the psyche and physical energy at the frontiers of modern, objective science. Explodes our rational way of looking at the world by explaining phenomena that transcend the laws of science. Share in this unlocking of mysteries, discover the unseen wonders around us, and enjoy a new way of experiencing the world. Explore the recurring cosmic rhythms and forms that underlie all life and matter. Lawrence Blair, who lectured on mysticism and the occult, holds a Ph. D. from Lancaster University. A must read that connects mystiscism and science in our natural world. This book will stand the test of time blending myths, magic and religion to modern natural science and leaves the reader wanting more. Blair takes the reader on a step by step journey through the transformation of consciousness from the past to the present supported from the microcosm to macrocosm. A comfortable read in its simplicity as it evokes the reader's own sense of wonderment about the world around him/her. 234 pages plus chapter notes section and index.. First Edition. Hardcover.
