This painting by Frithjof Schuon is reproduced on page 95 of the book The Feathered Sun (World Wisdom, 1990). The three warrior/chiefs remain, we might say, “at one” with the natural elements despite the passing storm. The spacial planes are reduced in the image to a two-dimensional space that accepts the fire, the people, the bending trees, the tipis, the birds, and the rainbow. Note the sense of the wind without a naturalistic representation of it (or anything else), a hallmark of Schuon’s approach.
To Have a Center: A New Translation with Selected Letters
In this new edition of his powerfully original work, Schuon covers an array of metaphysical, cosmological, and anthropological subjects.
