Becoming Invisible

By Ian Whittlesea.

Becoming Invisible

A delightful pocket-guide to becoming invisible through meditations on color

Both an artist's book and a would-be practical guide, this beautiful little book offers occult instructions for becoming invisible by meditating on the color spectrum. It draws on the literature of Rosicrucianism, theosophy and esoteric yoga to demonstrate how, through breathing exercises and visualization, the reader can learn to split light into its constituent parts, then recombine the seven colours of the spectrum to form a glowing white cloud that envelops its creator, rendering him or her invisible.

Its author, London-based artist Ian Whittlesea—well known for his book works based on spiritual-physical exercises, such as Yves Klein: The Foundations of Judo and Mazdaznan Health & Breath Culture—notes in the preface: "These exercises are intended to allow you to become invisible. This does not, however, mean that you will physically disappear or dematerialize. Instead you will be hidden from view, concealed within a cloud of your own creation."Gorgeous colour abstractions by Whittlesea illustrate the book throughout.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Creative Pro

Maya P Lim

Written for those interested in the spiritual realm of color theory, these books guide the reader into an exploration of color with visualization and breathing exercises as a means to manifest “the white cloud of invisibility.” An unusual find for anyone fascinated by Transcendentalism, color theory, or invisibility.
