Rowena Kryder has given us a wonderfully rich exploration of many forms that recur in various aspects of nature (Sophia's body).
This book is one example of Creative Harmonics, a method of understanding life as inherent harmony and a way of co-creatively participating in the evolution of the universe. Creative Harmonics implies that every being in every species and type is designed by means of the harmonic laws of the universe - which are both mathematical and musical, and can be translated into form and color.
This particular book approaches Creative Harmonics through the archetypal language of form. It is a stunning visual book showing the functions of sixteen basic forms: Point, Step. Branch, Spiral, Radial, Loop or Knot, Column, Wave, Triangle, Circle, Grid, Laminar Flow, Hexagon, Cup, Square and Pentagon. These forms are demonstrated in celestial phenomena, minerals, plants, animals, organs, art and aspects of civilization in our three dimensional world. The Harmonic Laws themselves exist in higher dimensions and are codes in an archetypal language, codes which are demonstrated in the everyday forms we know.
Sophia is a goddess of wisdom who is also a creatrix within Nature herself. The wisdom of Sophia is the archetypal Language of Nature and Spirit introduced in this book. . . (copyright page)
Sparing text explanations leave the reader free to complement the author's observations with the reader's own creative associations to the pictures that cluster around various themes.
This book is well worth a co-creative read and re-read. It can transform the way you view the world.
