Deeply impactful writing on unconscious meanings of "home.",
By A Customer
This review is from: Archetype Design: House as a Vehicle for Spirit (Paperback)
A stunning vision of what a home can be -- far more than a simple utilitarian habitation. Do you cross the bridge from the external world to an expressions of your personal archetypal strength when you pass through your front door? Is your kitchen a place for creating health? Your bath a place for ritual purification -- is not brushing one's teeth a ritual? Does your livingroom invite community and foster interdependence? I could not put the book down. Vishu Magee clearly meditates and has studied the great spiritual practices of the world - it flows through his book like the Jungian collective unconsciousness that is his springboard for rethinking the meanings inherent in `home.'

A spiritualistic tool for your home and your life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Archetype Design: House as a Vehicle for Spirit (Paperback)
Being the printer of Archetype Design, I have shared this wonderful book with prospective clients for its style and quality. To my delight I am finding they are not just reviewing its physical appearance but reading it for the spiritual content. Vishu is a spiritual guide leading us back to the days of a "Happy Home" and directing us into the future of a home for uplifting the spirit.

Archetype Design,
By Dr. Robert S. Francis (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Archetype Design: House as a Vehicle for Spirit (Paperback)
Vishu Magee has presented the mystical achetypes of Carl Jung in a most readable and understandable fashion. His presentation develops the archetype themes inherent in us all as spiritual beings and demonstrates how we can incorporate those archtypes in the design of our living spaces. Magee explains how we can make our house a vehicle for spiritual growth. He goes beyond simply explaining how these archetypes operate in our lives and everyday experiences. He explains how we and those around us are driven by the archtypes in everyday life and why it is important that we become aware of their existence and influence in our psyche, especially how they manifest in our lives - both outer and inner. Magee includes in the book a comprehensive planning guide that covers every aspect of creating a total environment for interfacing individual, family and community. This is truly a great contribution to spiritual, peronsal and architectural literature.
