Mirror of Consciousness ambitiously traverses a wide range of themes
pertaining to art, creativity, knowledge and theory. Its unique perspective
lies in its exposition of Vedic Science as brought to light by His Holiness
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and in the application of the principles of this
science to preliminary analysis of the Vastusutra Upanishad. No other
publication has examined art and theory with the same comprehensive vision.
To do justice to the topic of universal value in art and theory, the author
has delved into several areas that impact the visual arts--late
twentieth-century debates in art theory, models of historiography, new
definitions of culture and tradition--in the context of the individual's
own consciousness or simplest form of awareness. Though comprehensive and
detailed, it will appeal to those who are curious about trends in the
visual arts, the advent and impact of new technologies, and the development
of collective consciousness in our time.
