As referenced in the blog entry of July 19, 2007, this page contains a variety of spiral art that I have created over the years. The first two images below (one static, the other animated) were created in June 2007 as part of my efforts to illustrate the spiral of development in consciousness and culture.
The spiral below, known as The Beauty, Truth, and Goodness Agreement, took the form of an interactive cyber-object of art on the internet; a kind of "virtual sacred site". Visitors to the website: beautytruthgoodness.org (created in 1998 but now inactive) actually co-created this spiral art by adding their email address to the spiral ribbon, thereby affirming the values of beauty, truth, and goodness. In other words, when a person affirmed “the agreement” and added their name, the spiral ribbon grew by the length of their e-mail address or URL. The art itself thus served as a growing database linking those who agreed to live the primary values of beauty, truth and goodness.
This combination of three spiral forms, called As Above, So Below, was created in 1996 to suggest the influence of heaven on earth.
The artwork below is from the cover of my Golden Mean Book (now out of print). The spiral is taken from a famous crop circle that appeared across the road from Stonehenge in 1996. The spiral represents both a golden ratio spiral and a fractal Julia set, combining both ancient sacred geometry and modern fractal geometry. The cloud background was meant to suggest how this form serves as a timeless archetype.
The two spirals below are illustrations from my book Integral Consciousness. The first called: "The geometry of inclusive transcendence", suggests the technique whereby evolution achieves the transcendental movement that originates in a given domain but which is not actually of that domain. Evolution as a whole thus exhibits the continuous ability to transcend the duality of conflict and the limitations of any given container by moving in the direction of an entirely new domain. In a similar vein, the second image is an illustration of "The dialectic of development", which is also discussed at length in Integral Consciousness.
