Structures of Being

Great orders of being, seen side by side

In every age, human beings have tried to describe the order of life. Systems have grown from this: the Tree of Life of the Kabbalah, the I Ching, the number teaching of Pythagoras, the levels of consciousness in Sri Aurobindo. Structures of Being presents them on one surface. Each system remains in its own language and logic.
