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.

Spiral patterns seem to be omnipresent in the universe. We can see this pattern in the rotation curves of galaxies, the shape and spin of hurricanes, cyclones and whirlpools. Nature seems to have a special affinity for the spiral pattern - it is encoded into things as diverse as sea shells, pinecones, plant tendrils, the skeletons of animals. Spirals can be observed in the arrangement of seeds on a sunflower head, the structure of human lungs, the DNA double helix and avian flight patterns. Spirals abound throughout both organic and inorganic kingdoms, revealing themselves in the structure of matter and flow of energy, in the patterns of growth, rhythms, social systems and economics. So why is our universe pervaded by spirals? I once read a Discover magazine article that pondered this same question only to conclude that the phenomenon is more likely a coincidence than some underlying property of the universe. The Grand Pattern that Connects endeavors to show the exact opposite. The spiral pattern exemplifies a universal law, a numerical sequence that is embedded in the cosmos. However, this book goes beyond the famous Fibonacci numbers, making a case for an inceptive template of wholeness that is inherent in the topology of space-time itself, affecting the universe as a whole and keeping everything in order. It is this template that is responsible for the interconnected nature of all phenomena in the universe. As Gregory Bateson would say, it is "the pattern which connects the orchid to the primrose and the dolphin to the whale and all four to me." The book details how the Spiral template creates wholes within larger wholes, systems within systems, and with each undulation of the spiral forms constellations of ever increasing complexity. The book addresses the spiral dynamics of social systems, the deeper origins of the drive for altruism, the symbiotic sharing of space and information that lead to the emergence of complex adaptive intelligences and much more. The Grand Pattern that Connects strives to integrate mystical insights with the current scientific understanding of the physics of the spiral and would be recommended to all those who are perplexed by the Spiral's enigma and are driven to learn more about this phenomenon.

Each individual has his own place to fulfil in the world. There is a pattern for each life and so long as the personality accepts the guidance of the soul, disaster can be avoided. There has never been a time when mental unbalance and breakdown were so common. Although there are various contributory factors, the main cause, as Professor Jung pointed out, is the lack of a firm foundation in the spiritual meaning and purpose of life.From the moment that the soul accepts and seeks divine law, there are those guided toward him from the world of spirit who weave around him a cloak of protection. And so long as he holds to that law, he moves within that canopy and there will be no further variance. Though problems may seem insurmountable - a way through the impasse can be found - for every maze has an exit, however difficult to perceive.Mona Rolfe was an Irish mystic with great vision. Her guide and twin soul in the world of spirit came close to the earth to give, through her, teachings which has formerly been held secret for the initiate alone, but which in the New Age of Aquarius are permitted to be given out to all men who seek a deeper understanding of divine law. For by understanding the past, life takes on a deeper meaning in the present - and the future direction can be indicated.
