Soul of Light: Works of Illumination
Drawing on mystic traditions as diverse as Hinduism, ancient Kabbalah, Theosophy, Gnosticism, Buddhism, Eckart Tolle, and The Course in Miracles, Sipe has created 100 drawings, using computer enhanced gold, silver, and crystal. Beautiful and inspiring, these drawings bring esoteric wisdom to life. They draw the reader in and chart a course from darkness to spiritual light, as the inner illumination of the sacred wisdom of the ages flows out of this visionary artwork. Intended as tools for meditation, they are equally intriguing as beautiful, mysterious visual images. This book is truly an uplifting visual treat. Consider displaying the book with stand-alone crystals, devotional sculpture, or other beautiful objects, and let your customers discover it for themselves. --Anna Jedrziewski,Retailing Insight"This is an extraordinary and beautiful book consisting mainly of intricate illuminated geometrical paintings of great power. The author has been inspired by the work of HP Blavatsky and Eckhart Tolle, among others. He explains his painting process, and there is a fascinating initial chapter showing the difference between the version with geometrical forms and the final illuminated one. Subsequent chapters represent spiritual forms such as chakras, mandalas and the tree of life, as well as themes like cathedrals of the soul and portals of the spirit. The paintings would be suitable for silent and inspiring contemplation." --Network Review, Winter 2012"The use of light radiating through rectangles, circles, and triangles connects us with the eternal energy of the universe. Sipe's mystical and occult poems carry this process deeper into our consciousness. It is a good and fine thing to meditate on these illuminating creations since as Yogi Pashupatinath tells us: 'You have come from light and you will go back to light.'" --Frederic Brssat, Spirituality & Practice"The book 'Soul of Light' is simply beautiful. Many of the works are accompanied by poetry from the artist to provide a glimpse into his mind about the piece. The pages are entirely black which helps highlight the artwork." -- Rebecca Elson, The Magical Buffet"If the purpose of spiritual art is to take us to the intuitive archetypal dimensions of consciousness, then the artist Joma Sipe has succeeded.  Quest books is to be congratulated for bringing this art to the American audience.  Look at it; like me you, too, will have quantum leaps of intuition." --Amit Goswami, Quantum Physicist and the author ofandHow Quantum Activism can Save Civilization"Mme. Blavatsky wrote, 'Behold in every manifestation of genius, when combined with virtue, the undeniable presence of the celestial exile, the divine ego whose jailor thou art, O man of matter.' To those gifted with the eyes to see, the universe and its myriad forms are butliving lighttaking shape to the music of the cosmos. InSoul of Light, Joma Sipe unites his illumination-art with original and borrowed poetry, esoteric teachings, and discussions of his creative process to chart the journey of the soul from darkness to light, from the unreal to the Real. These beautiful works of sacred geometry, like Brancusi'sBird in Space, are meant as vehicles of meditation. Aslike calls to like, the light of the soul shines forth." -- Finley Eversole, Ph.D., author,Art and Spiritual Transformation"Joma Sipe gives visual form to the energetic patterns contained in a vast array of spiritual texts and traditions. He generously shares his process of creating these remarkable images that seem channeled through his inner being, enabling the viewer to intuit how each spiritual path is both unique and at its root connected to one infinite Source. This important book instructs us in a way that transcends dogma and touches the universal spark within us all." --Pat B. Allen, artist and author ofArt is a Way of KnowingandArt is a Spiritual Path"Using color and sound, with words and without,Soul of Lightreverently presents the multidimensional depths of our universe.  A timeless treasure with which to vision and dream." -- Ruth A. Drayer, author,Nicholas & Helena Roerich: The Spiritual Journey of Two Great Artists and Peacemakers
