Spiral patterns seem to be omnipresent in the universe. We can see this pattern in the rotation curves of galaxies, the shape and spin of hurricanes, cyclones and whirlpools. Nature seems to have a special affinity for the spiral pattern - it is encoded into things as diverse as sea shells, pinecones, plant tendrils, the skeletons of animals. Spirals can be observed in the arrangement of seeds on a sunflower head, the structure of human lungs, the DNA double helix and avian flight patterns. Spirals abound throughout both organic and inorganic kingdoms, revealing themselves in the structure of matter and flow of energy, in the patterns of growth, rhythms, social systems and economics. So why is our universe pervaded by spirals? I once read a Discover magazine article that pondered this same question only to conclude that the phenomenon is more likely a coincidence than some underlying property of the universe. The Grand Pattern that Connects endeavors to show the exact opposite. The spiral pattern exemplifies a universal law, a numerical sequence that is embedded in the cosmos. However, this book goes beyond the famous Fibonacci numbers, making a case for an inceptive template of wholeness that is inherent in the topology of space-time itself, affecting the universe as a whole and keeping everything in order. It is this template that is responsible for the interconnected nature of all phenomena in the universe. As Gregory Bateson would say, it is the pattern which connects the orchid to the primrose and the dolphin to the whale and all four to me. The book details how the Spiral template creates wholes within larger wholes, systems within systems, and with each undulation of the spiral forms constellations of ever increasing complexity. The book addresses the spiral dynamics of social systems, the deeper origins of the drive for altruism, the symbiotic sharing of space and information that lead to the emergence of complex adaptive intelligences and much more. The Grand Pattern that Connects strives to integrate mystical insights with the current scientific understanding of the physics of the spiral and would be recommended to all those who are perplexed by the Spiral's enigma and are driven to learn more about this phenomenon.
