"The soul never thinks without an image," claimed Aristotle. Indeed, as Angeles Arrien displays in this reissued edition of Signs of Life, shapes have significant psychological and mythological meanings embedded in our minds. Understanding the messages they convey and our attraction to them opens up a door to the secret workings of our inner selves and to a fuller appreciation of the art itself.As in her widely popular The Tarot Handbook, Arrien applies her background as a cultural anthropologist to the import human beings attribute to shapes. Examining her results, she has developed an effective tool to determine the connection between a person's preferences for certain shapes and the same person's inner, subjective states. In the course of using Arrien's book, individuals, parents, teachers, and therapists will experience the universal processes of growth embodied in images and myths.
Life, we discover, is art, and through Arrien's fascinating journey in Signs of Life, we gain a new perception of the omnipresent patterns and symbols that surround us.
Illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs

About the book >.>.> Signs of Life: The Five Universal Shapes and How to Use Them by Angeles Arrien delves into the universal significance of five distinct shapes found across various cultures. Drawing from her extensive background in cultural anthropology, Arrien explores how these shapes resonate with common human experiences and values across different societies. With a lifelong fascination for folklore, myths, and fairy tales, she seeks to bridge the gap between cultural diversity and shared human themes, investigating how education, health care, family systems, governance, and artistic expression reflect these universal patterns.Through her interdisciplinary approach, Arrien focuses on multi-cultural themes that highlight the meanings and symbolic representations associated with these shapes. Over the past twenty-five years, she has dedicated herself to examining myths, symbols, and human values, collecting visual and literary examples that reveal consistent themes across cultures. This journey has taken her to museums, libraries, and cultural archives, enriching her research with direct experiences gained through extensive travel.In Signs of Life, readers can expect a comprehensive exploration of how these five universal shapes not only represent cultural expressions but also serve as tools for understanding deeper human connections and shared values. The book positions itself as a resource for anyone interested in the intersection of art, culture, and anthropology, providing insights into how these universal symbols can be applied in contemporary life.
