    Life in the round
    (1987) Trumbull, Micaela
    My thesis is diverse unity, the gathering of different experiences and persptctives together to create a full spectrum. Life's experiences are difficult to connect and assimilate. They defy narrow explanations, and often seem chaotic. Yet birth and death, sex and love, growth and loss all interweave. Finding a container for diversity is essential to wisdom.

    Masks: windows to awareness
    (1986) Klapperich, Leah M.
    Through this paper I will explore the role of masks as vehicle for communicating with the transformative energies of nature. I believe that masks can be an ideal tool for reuniting modern culture with the wisdom of our created universe by bringing together intuitive experience and the energies of natural materials. The masks are messengers that give vision and voice to the inspirations of nature while opening our perception to its ancient archetypal knowings.

    Manifestation exploring the art of curating
    (1989) Shackelford, Penelope L.
    This thesis proposes that the curating of art is based on the Latin root curatus, which means the care and cure of souls. A co-creative exhibition on the Virgin Mary based on "curatus" was held in a commercial art gallery in Davis, California. The process of the curator and artists and the artworks are fully described in the thesis.

    Journey to the underworld
    (1985) Marshe, Marian Tasha
    This thesis is a study in the nature of feminine spiritual experience, through an exploration of the Sumerian myth of Inanna/Ereshkigal. The central theme of this paper and of the myth itself is the descent' to the underworld' . The psychological equivalent to descent is'depression' or 'breakdown', and is primarily viewed as a negative experience indicating a defectiveness in the ego structure. The Inanna/Ereshkigal myth casts a whole new light on this theme. manna's journey to the underworld is understood as a process of transcending downward into her own inner depths for the purpose of achieving a new synthesis. Psychologically, manna faces the neglected side of herself, her shadow, in order to re-claim her wholeness.

    Journey of awakening: documentary on the art of a modern mystic
    (1989) Taylor, Marah
    This thesis is a documentation of a process of spiritual awakening catalyzed and guided by Avatar Meher Baba and the symbols and metaphors of visionary art. Journey of Awakening is a body of art in transparent water-color representing a fourteen year bycle on the spiritual Path. This transformational journey of change, learning and growth is validating itself over time. It is my thesis that art may serve the purpose of love: to open and awaken the Heart. The sharing of my journey is to catalyze and support other's awakening process that we may all become cocreators in the Divine Manifestation of a New Humanity.
