About this ebook
This work explores the meaning of imagery found on rocks, especially from deep caves of the paleolithic era. It approaches the problem of interpretation by focusing on a key concept, that art and ritual generate life. A novel hypothesis is also offered that creativity emerges from a tension between chaotic elements and more formed shapes. Past interpretive frames, statistical studies, and indigenous parallels are summoned to examine these archetypal expressions. We invite you to explore indigenous imagery as an adventure that opens up your own spiritual dimension and earliest roots.

This work draws upon these his experiences and study in which he identifies a primordial pattern of birth and rebirth, which still has relevance for contemporary humans.
