So beautifully does the short prose and simple poetry of “A Path of Knowledge in Pictures” support its 35 accompanying art prints, the whole becomes like an alchemical marriage. Each element refines and clarifies the others, vivid testimony to the existence of a Higher Power at work within and through the artist. We learn in the foreword that an artistic creation was never the intent of artist Gerhard Reisch. Rather, Reisch wished for two things. First, to awaken imagination in the soul of the observer, and second, to establish the reality of a path for the spiritual seeker. And how well did Reisch succeed? For this reviewer, associations born of an innocent stolen peek at Reisch’s art (the purchase was intended as a Christmas gift for my daughter-in-law!) continue to swell and grow, relentless as a rising loaf of over-leavened bread. Reisch’s images are faithful to my own inner surety, telling me that both of us have known the beings and mind states that his images are intended to evoke. As a stimulus of Imagination and a welcome assurance that there is, indeed, a reliable route back to Source, I heartily recommend “A Path of Knowledge in Pictures.” I would buy it again–this time for myself!
This is a small pamphlet that gives some interesting insight into the school of spiritual science in particular the general section. I ordered one the other day because someone had recommended it but found when it arrived that I already had it in my library. Apparently the first reading didn’t stick. I will point out though that if you’re looking for answers the book has a lot of questions to stir up your own answers.
Arrived today, Thank you for shipping this all the way to New Zealand, I look forward to reading Elana’s Book, which is very timely in this rapidly revealing and changing world.
