description: Toward a Philosophy of Perception introduces the Love in Transition series, published in English in the "Lucian Blaga" University of Romania, to the United States. At the same time it adds dozens of Harrell's highly detailed cloud photographs. Extending slightly into the infrared and ultraviolet range, they show unusual colors in the intent to create paintings. Perception is dealt with from within the Blakean tradition of seeing several levels at once and also from within modern theories that vision is always incomplete, but we "fill in the blanks." Of note is a long extract from an inspirational memoir written for the Exceptional Human Experience Network, "A Man Called Milton Klonsky: Experiments in Consciousness. Also included are samples of unprogrammed computer printouts that psychically reorganize what was on the screen. Drawing it all together is the theme: "the magnitude of human potential." CRITICAL COMMENTS: ""In this unique book, lavishly illustrated with 33 color cloud photographs, Margaret Harrell suggests a means to tap into the wellspring of collective worldwide consciousness."- New Connexion: Journal of Conscious Evolution--an Editor's Pick"There is no denying that Margaret Harrell has led an incredibly full and interesting life. New York 's Greenwich Village in its heyday, a long marriage to a Belgian poet, and an academic background that includes Duke University in Durham, NC and the C.G. Jung Institute in Switzerland, are just some of the highlights for this gifted author and teacher....Using cloud photographs as a meditative tool, Harrell maintains that access to the pinnacle of human potential is possible. "- Innerchange Review by Kathryn Lanier  “Impressively enhanced with thirty-three full-color, coffeetable-sized cloud photographs, Toward A Philosophy Of Perception: The Magnitude Of Human Potential—Cloud Optics by academician and Eastern Studies advocate Margaret Harrell provides the reader with a thoughtful and thought-provoking text illustrating a powerful and extended journey into a higher consciousness. Toward A Philosophy Of Perception engagingly chronicles Harrell’s several decades of inspirational teachings and personal experiences, as well as her dedicated research into consciousness and life. Toward A Philosophy Of Perception articulates the position that everyone inherently holds all the tools they would need to reach a higher level of consciousness, and in doing so, become a source of love and light that can help shape a better future for themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. An enthusiastically recommended reading experience, the photography, poetry, sciences, and Harrell’s own remarkable abilities to communicate with the reader, make Toward A Philosophy Of Perception a seminal work of wit, wisdom, and imagination.” - Reviewer’s Choice, Midwest Book Review Small Press Bookwatch, June 2005.The wonderful aspect of these cloud pictures is that it leaves the reader to be him/herself and to see that as adequate and good . . . rather than floundering around trying to see something that won't quite come into focus for that person." From a review by Virginia Parrott Williams, Ph.D. President, Williams LifeSkills; Co-Author Anger Kills. "This is Margaret A. Harrell's gift, . . . the images and the writing that goes with them. . . . She is] an energy manifester and she's bringing it through these energies. . . . This is not only an art book, it's not only an intellectual book, it's about raising consciousness. . . . The images are something uniquely different . . . aren't in the Earth archetypes."
