Spirals: The Pattern of Existence

by Geoff Ward

The extraordinary power and mystery of the spiral and its relationship to, and influence on, human evolution. Spiral energy fields are all around us and within us, patterning our very existence, from microcosm to macrocosm, determining structures from the tiny vortices of sub-atomic particles and the DNA molecule to the awesome island universes of galaxies where stars are born and conditions for life created. Now its full significance is revealed in a study that embraces molecular biology, anthropology, zoology, astronomy, quantum physics, Jungian psychology, earth mysteries, religion, philosophy and the wisdom of the ancients. Bringing fresh new insight from the cutting edge of physics and looking far back in time, Ward describes the fundamental link between the human mind and this universal form. Be amazed and fascinated by his conclusions! Intriguing and revelatory, Geoff Ward’s Spirals is a stimulating intellectual adventure. -- Graham Hancock A most fascinating book, and a remarkable piece of research. -- Colin Wilson During the course of its seven turns, Geoff Ward’s engagingly Spirals takes us on an exhilarating journey from the insights of ancient wisdom to the cutting edge of contemporary thought. -- Lindsay Clarke, 1989 Whitbread Prize for Fiction

[Rachel Hartley]

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.
