Abstract

Vrtually every historical culture using designs rooted in life-force energy has created architecture, everyday places, and communities with spiritual power far exceeding what is achieved today evenin "spiritual" buildings. By generating an understanding of this energy, and the examples of its use from cultures in Cambodia, Japan, India, Thailand, China, Hawaii, Nigeria, Egypt, Peru, Mexico, and Native America, new possibilities are dramatically opening for places and lives today
