Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is RARE, hard to find and OUT OF PRINT and a fascinating examination of phenomena that transcend the laws of science written by author LAWRENCE BLAIR--the book is a collectible STATED FIRST EDITION and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $8.95 price in the upper corner of the front inner flap. This book is in SUPERB condition and the book itself has a very light forward list of the spine end, slight fading of the lettering on the spine edge, slight dings on the opening tips and just slight dustwear on the upper page edge at the spine end but NO other significant flaws; the dustjacket has slight creases on the right edge of the front inner flap, upper right tip of the front inner flap and upper left tip of the back inner flap, slight sunning (fading) on the spine edge, a small ding on the lower center edge of the back cover and just very light shelfwear otherwise but no other significant flaws! The book is titled Rhythms of Vision: The Changing Patterns of Belief and it was written by LAWRENCE BLAIR with a foreword by LYALL WATSON; it was published by Schocken Books in 1976 and is a STATED 1st EDITION copy.This brilliant and mystical book threatens to overturn our ordered view of the world. It argues that we are poised on the threshold of a new age of thought--one that will reject the assumption that the tangible, measurable, "scientific," fact is the truth. A revolution is about to take place like that which shattered the medieval geocentric cosmology.The theme of this book is the correspondence between the natural world, the universe, and the microcosm, Man. Its key term is "energy," in the form of vibrations, nodes, to which man can, with learning, become sensitive.Drawing on many different branches of knowledge, Dr. Blair shows that the pursuits of science have already forced humankind back into himself and his psyche, through which he experiences. He then demonstrates how the intuitions of myth, the ancient occult arts, the mystical and mantic rituals of religions are the remains of a lore of energy-rhythms that converges with discoveries concerninng the psyche and physical energy at the frontiers of modern, objective science.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
