This beautifully produced book sums up a lifetime of spiritual scientific research. Whicher attempts, in a pictorial and non-academic way, to make a realm of higher mathematics more generally accessible. She shows the broad and profound nature of “counterspace”—etheric sunspace—and sheds light on unsolved questions of science and life. Liberally quoting Rudolf Steiner, she places the development of mathematics and spiritual science within the context of the evolution of consciousness.
Anyone interested in projective geometry, the science of the etheric realm, and the future of thinking will find this a fruitful text.
Olive Mary Whicher joined George Adams in London in 1935, and worked with him in research in mathematics and physics. She has published a number of books, including a few in collaboration with Adams.

Owen Barfield (1898–1997), the British philosopher and critic, has been called the “First and Last Inkling,” because of his influence and enduring role in the group known as the Oxford Inklings. The Inklings included C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. It was Barfield who first advanced the ideas about language, myth, and belief that became identified with the thinking and art of the Inklings. He is the author of numerous books, including Poetic Diction: A Study in Meaning; Romanticism Comes of Age; Unancestoral Voice; History in English Words; and Worlds Apart: A Dialogue of the 1960s. His history of the evolution of human consciousness, Saving the Appearances: A Study in Idolatry, achieved a place in the list of the “100 Best Spiritual Books of the Century.” See all titles by this author
