Elixir of Light

Intuition, Led Lights and Healing Oneself Through the Super Brain

Beschreibung

Barry Gerson's ELIXIR OF LIGHT is a memoir of the artist's explorations into and breakthroughs with color LED therapy lights to heal the various maladies that accompany being human, including among others aging and chronic disease, combined with insights on his theories regarding the energy powers of light and intuition. The work fluctuates between hands-on experiments and the artist's gleanings about the nature of universe and its creation, with numerous biographical and poetic excursions. It is a penetrating examination of the artist's core beliefs about art and film-making and their underlying intimacy with and potential to deliver wisdom about our human condition. As Gerson writes, " It has always been about the Light. Just as I have now found the Light to be about our healing."
