Crystals of Flow is a collection of stories and essays that highlight the spirit of a unifying vision of conceptions in science, art, and philosophy, where the factual is linked to stories and stories inform and illustrate objective facts. The book is an invite to the general reader to join the author’s learning journey of several years toward realizing this spirit of exploration and synthesis. The stories relate to personal experiences of the author, and the narration links them to notable facts—scientific, historical, and philosophical—in a syncretic vision. The lucid narrative style provides a rich and memorable reading experience and evokes the freshness of discovery and the excitement of a renewed apprehension of hoary fables, events, and experiences. Particularly noticeable is the systematic manner in which the esoteric is seamlessly blended with the prosaic, the analytic with the intuitive, and the archaic with the modern. Equally striking is the care taken to cite the sources of references quoted in the text to facilitate their prompt and trouble-free retrieval.
