Spirals: The Pattern of Existence

by Geoff Ward

In mathematics, a spiral is a curve which emanates from a central point, getting progressively farther away as it revolves around the point. Spirals are everywhere and involve all human thought and physical structure. From cutting edge quantum physics to ancient architecture here you will discover the role that Spirals play in our lives. The spiral is the age-old intuitive symbol of spiritual development and our identity with the Universe. It is found in cultures the world over and reflected in shamanism, serpent cults, dragon lore, geomancy, magic, mysticism, ritual art and dance throughout history.

Spirals: The Pattern of Existence appears to offer an intriguing exploration of patterns found throughout nature, human experience, and the wider world. Its blend of scientific, philosophical, and reflective ideas may appeal to readers who enjoy examining connections across different fields of thought. The book seems likely to encourage curiosity, discussion, and deeper consideration of the patterns that shape our understanding of existence.

An OK round-up of mystical and scientific observations of the importance of the spiral form in nature. A minor point that interested me is seeing the inevitable happen in the appendix on ASCs. Graham Hancock's good but derivative round-up of theories, 'Supernatural', becomes the source cited for the connection between ayahuasca visions and DNA. Hancock's source, Jeremy Narby, is lost in a casual reference to "other researchers". Ah well.
