“This book relates DNA and the genetic code to consciousness as the universal principle of life. This is done through perception of seven pattern germs from DNA which are girdled into an archetypal model called the ‘tree of life.’ The symbols of the tree model are logically related to the self, spirit, soul, psyche and body. How this new approach helps to understand the phenomenon of life in its integrated wholeness and cosmic totality is explained in this book. It heralds the dawn of a new science of life which translates the innate mysticism of religions into the language of science. It provides novel keys to consciousness and creativity in relation to the transcendental horizon of the human being and the spiritual growth of humanity at large.
