Rhythms of Vision: The Changing Patterns of Myth and Consciousness

Books of this quality are rare. For anyone interested in the underlying patterns which orchestrate existence, this book superbly details, describes, compares and analyzes major cosmological concepts and ideas. I heartfelt wish the author, drawing upon 25 years of living these ideas, would write a sequel discussing what he has learned through his sojourn in Indonesia.

A must read for those interested in seeing the connection of mysticism and our natural world.This book will stand the test of time. Published in 1975 at the height of the "consciousness movement" of the 60's & 70's this book blends myths, magic and religion to modern natural science and leaves the reader wanting more. Author 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.This book is a comfortable read though in its simplicity it evokes the reader's own sense of wonderment about the world around him/her.
