Prairie Mind: Frank Lloyd Wright & Usonian Architecture of Self-Space

Architecture was the language of Wright’s dharma of healing. His vision of psychological sovereignty was as panoramic as his wall-to-wall windows. The goal of this book is to translate Wright’s language of architecture into the language of psychology. The book discusses the correspondence between Wright's architecture and Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Dzogchen, Akashic theory (a Vedic teaching on space), Gurdjieff-style pattern-interruption, etc. Excerpt: "We have to redesign our sense of self – our field of being - to leave the dualistic caves that imprison and box us in. We must move towards a more organic (less dual) architecture of mind."
