Book Description
"I conceived the task of creating an up-to-date history of Greek color theory and practice, which is inextricably intertwined with the philosophy of the Four Elements, using all the scholarly resources of the twentieth century. On the other hand, I realized the necessity of preparing a separate treatise (which is The Inner Nature of Color) to relate the results of my research to the inexhaustibly fruitful spiritual research of Rudolf Steiner, so as to try to contribute to a new understanding of the background out of which it arose. The fact that any intimate knowledge about the spirituality of the ancient world and, above all, its relation to the present has not only dropped out of the intellectual life of today, but in some quarters is actually impugned, seems reason enough to offer this study for whatever use anthroposophists or anyone else can make of it." --J. Leonard Benson In this fascinating work, J. Leonard Benson describes the spiritual and esoteric nature of color in relation to the four elements--fire, earth, air and water. Based on insights provided by Rudolf Steiner and a deep knowledge of classical cosmology and color theory, this book shows how an understanding of the inner nature of color leads to a completely different view of the world and evolution than is current in our present civilization--one completely at odds with the ruling neo-Darwinian paradigm. The Inner Nature of Color will be of interest to artists, art historians, spiritual seekers, and anyone who has ever been struck by the remarkable beauty of our colored world and wondered what it means.

Book Description
"Who am I?" For many, this most important question goes unaddressed. According to Psychiatrist Carl Jung, people who fail to form a mature, unique identity get lost in pseudo-identities and 'group-think'. Jung warned, "The world will ask you who you are and if you don't know, the world will tell you!" Without the anchor of Self, a person becomes an angry mouthpiece for causes, one more member of the raucous herd. Psychotherapist Annette Poizner, MSW, Ed.D., RSW, has designed workbooks to help readers access Jung's insights into identity and Self. In these two volumes, readers will color images - to improve comprehension, facilitate reflection and also to promote concentration. Accessing Jung's wisdom through summaries, direct quotes and graphic images provides a 'stereophonic' learning experience. In the first volume, readers learned Jung's ideas while coloring mandalas, geometric renderings which Jung felt graphically represented the concept of the Self. In this volume, we consider why we often reference the animal kingdom when describing people and situations: "He is a real shark!" "There's something fishy going on." "He's a teddy bear!" We will look at animals that embody character traits which play out in our own inner natures. We will find a range of archetypes represented in the animal kingdom and will realize our goal: to find all of creation - all the archetypes - within each one of us. Each reader can discover the animal that corresponds to his or her own essence; also each must cultivate traits associated with the wide range of animals. Use this self-reflection exercise to explore the Jungian archetypes and to explore - and expand - your own inner nature. Learning about Jung's archetypes will spur readers into more active dreaming. The dream journal serves as a log that readers can use to capture their dreams so they can review them over time in an effort to detect patterns. Part guide, part coloring book, part journal, part mirror, Annette Poizner, a seasoned therapist, has assembled a compelling and personal introduction to the magical world of Carl Jung. In books that are both educational and experiential, readers can engage in activities which bring Jung's fascinating insights to life. Annette Poizner, MSW, Ed.D, RSW, has a Master's in Social Work degree from Columbia University of New York and a Doctorate in Education from the University of Toronto. A practicing therapist, her innovations have been featured in dailies across Canada, in trade magazines across North America, and at clinical and academic conferences and in journals. Many of the books she has authored relate specifically to the work of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson: 'A Practical Summary & Workbook for Using Jordan Peterson's 'Maps of Meaning' to Sort Yourself Out', 'An Illustrated Guide to Using Jordan Peterson's Insights Regarding Divinity and the Map of Meaning to Sort Yourself Out', 'This Way Up: A Faith-Based Introduction to Jordan Peterson's 'Maps of Meaning', In Good Standing: Using Jordan Peterson's Insights on the Structure of Self to Sort Yourself Out, Clean Your Room: An Out-of-the-Box Manual for Lobsters, Getting Sorted, Lobster Style: Why (and How) You Can Use Jordan Peterson's Insights to Make Life Better, Lobster Tales: Stories of Lives Transformed by the ideas of Jordan Peterson, among others. She has also innovated a new genre, educational adult coloring books, designed to teach concepts related to Jungian psychology and personal development. Her new series, Jung@Heart, features two additional titles beyond the current volume: The Moon in the Man and The Jordan Peterson Cheat Sheet.

Book Description
Rudolf Steiner’s architectural masterpiece, the double-domed building known as the first Goetheanum, featured decorated ceilings that were designed and partly painted by Steiner himself, utilizing vegetable colors and a new layering technique. Steiner emphasized that he was seeking a new artistic conception based on a conscious understanding of the nature of color. Contemporaries report the extraordinary effect of the domed ceilings’ paintings combined with the multicolored light emanating from the engraved glass windows. The cupolas depicted the creation and ages of the world, the initiators of the various cultural epochs and the figure of Christ. Tragically, the ‘complete work of art’ that was the first Goetheanum burned down on New Year’s Eve 1922 – so today we can only get an impression of the lost paintings and windows from Rudolf Steiner’s pastel sketches and drawings and a handful of photographs. In this lavish volume, the result of decades of research and study, Hilde Raske provides a detailed examination of the artistic work on the two cupolas, including Rudolf Steiner’s draft sketches and his written and verbal statements. Featuring 30 color and more than 100 black-and-white illustrations, this printing is a high-quality facsimile of the long out-of-print original edition from 1983.

Author: Bernhard Helmut Kuhn Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd. ISBN: 9780754661665 Category : Literary Criticism Languages : en Pages : 190
Book Description
Bernhard Kuhn's study uncovers a fundamental connection between the autobiographies and scientific writings of Rousseau, Goethe, and Thoreau that refutes the now entrenched thesis of the 'two cultures.' As he examines these three representative writers, Kuhn reveals the scientific character of autobiographical writing while demonstrating the autobiographical nature of natural science. An unfolding drama emerges, in which Romantic Period writers are seen preserving what modern culture is determined to break apart.
