A Guide to Self-Realization is a book and course created by Nathalie Strassburg. Self-Realization is for anyone that is ready to expand their consciousness, grow, be authentically empowered, cultivate inner truth, have greater self-awareness, have a better relationship with themselves, better relationships with others, achieve authentic self-fulfillment, joy, peace, and harmony.
A Course in Self-Realization with 142 lessons, introduction video, audio for the lessons, printable worksheets, additional affirmations, audio affirmations, and other material not found in the book.
Master Yourself
Self-realization is the process of unifying our consciousness into a harmonious whole. The guide is based on the 64 lessons from the I Ching that we can master to expand our awareness, discover our authentic self, realize our inner truth, and live our unique destiny. When we balance our physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental aspects we become more self-empowered, and can achieve greater self-fulfillment.
Expand your Consciousness
The Self-Realization system, created by Nathalie Strassburg, is compatible with the I Ching, from around 800 BCE, China. It is a great universal model, and one of the oldest books in the world. It is based on simple binary, 0 and 1, which is what our computers are based on, with 64 (8×8) permutations. The 64 permutations form the Learning Spectrum that the book and course is based on, and they represent the lessons we master in duality to expand our consciousness . The next book and course in the series is A Guide to Enlightenment.
Following the introduction, the book and course include the spectrum of: the self, archetypes, roles, skills, spheres of awareness, principles, the learning spectrum, numbers, geometry, feminine and masculine expressions, self-realization, needs, relationships, and transformation.
Expanding consciousness is the process of integrating all aspects and parts of the conscious self for greater self-awareness and stability. With greater awareness and stability, the self can increase awareness through the dream platform, altered states of consciousness, intuition, and access more information, past, present, future, counterparts, and probabilities related to the whole self and collective consciousness. Expanding consciousness enables greater conscious participation in the ongoing creative process of consciousness, the return to one mindedness, and enlightenment.
Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, and Mental Aspects
The book and course is then organized into the four aspects: Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, and Mental. Each section contains the numbers, geometry, spheres of awareness, principles, traits, abilities, skills, and the learning spectrum.
Each aspect has 16 lessons. The 64 lessons in the learning spectrum are the lessons we can master to be an individual that takes empowered action, capable of empowered responses, based on empowered perspectives, and empowered thinking. They are tools that cultivate inner truth, emotional intelligence, and mental freedom that allow us to embrace whatever happens in life and use it for our benefit.
The Learning Spectrum
Each of the 64 lessons have a theme with an introduction, feminine and masculine expressions, and a spectrum to integrate the awareness: affirmation, wisdom, compassion, contemplation, investigation, sensation, observation, and visualization.

The I Ching is Chinese and the oldest of all the classical systems, from around 800 BCE. It is a great universal model and one of the oldest books in the world. It is based on simple binary (what our computers are built on) with 64 themes. In its original form it guides through the ways of nature, and provides wisdom for contemplation and insightful answers to questions.
The hexagrams that form the basis of the I Ching are from the Bagua, in Taoist Cosmology. It is the 8 symbols that represent the basic principles of existence. It is represented by the 8 trigrams, 8 elements of nature: Earth, Wind, Fire, Thunder, Mountain, Water, Lake, and Heaven. Each trigram has three lines, each line either “open” or “solid”, representing yin or yang, 0 or 1 forming binary numbers 000-111 (0 to 7).
Spectrum of Consciousness
The 64 hexagrams is a useful tool for exploring something as complex as the spectrum of human consciousness. Looking at the spectrum of consciousness through 8 primary themes makes it simpler to see a larger perspective while appreciating the subtle essence of each. Each hexagram has a name, theme, and number that is from an original sequence. For more information you can take a look at Wikipedia.

I Ching Astrology
I Ching astrology is a more detailed guide for self-development than traditional astrology. Astrological elements in the profile and birth chart include: Sun, Earth, Moon, North and South nodes, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Each astrological element falls within one of the 64 I Ching themes, which represents the spectrum of consciousness, and the life lessons we come to master. Their position can help us identify the theme in our life, expand our awareness, and guide us to self-mastery.
These elements are energetic themes that are imprinted on our energy body, and include our Personality (traditional star sign from the position of the Sun), Design (from the incarnation cross formed by the positions of the Earth and Sun), emotional Influence from the Moon, our Destiny (North Node), our Gifts (South Node). Below is a detailed list of each astrological element, and what they represent.
Sun represents a personality trait we have come to learn to master. Personality is a key aspect of the design of your conscious awareness.
Earth represents the subconscious influence in your design. Design is a primary feature of your subconscious awareness.
Moon represents the subtle influence in your design. Influence is a key to your well-being.
North Node represents your destiny, the future, and the unknown. Destiny is a key theme to your fulfillment, and personal success.
South Node represents gifts, skills, and abilities we already have. Gifts are primary abilities that you can integrate, and rely on for your authentic fulfillment.
Mercury represents our mental theme, communication, and intelligence: Mind is a key aspect of your life path, and the way you are designed to interact with the world.
Venus represents attraction, relationships, love, beauty and harmony: Attraction is an aspect of your design that will draw others to you.
Mars represents our desires, courage and action. Passion is your soul’s desire and a key element to your authentic joy.
Jupiter represents our abundance, an area of growth, prosperity and potential. Abundance is a source of your inner wisdom.
Saturn represents responsibility, structure and aspiration. Task is the theme of your primary life assignments.
Uranus represents our uniqueness, an area for excellence and expansion. Uniqueness is one of your key areas for self-development.
Neptune represents imagination, possibilities, intuition, and creative power. This Secret Power is a hidden aspect of your design that wants to be uncovered.
Pluto represents power, transformation, evolution, life & death, cycles, change, expansion. Your Power is one of your powerful gifts that will help you succeed.
The Incarnation Cross
The positions of the earth and sun create the primary birth cross (color framed on the profile). The profiles contain both the conscious personality (dark grey icons on the profile, birth chart, and report) and the subconscious design (light grey icons on the profile, birth chart, and report). The subconscious design aspects come from the location of the elements 3 months prior to birth when major brain development takes place, and usually reflect aspects that may be more challenging to integrate. The conscious and subconscious are programming partners.
The I Ching Birth Chart
The I Ching Birth Chart contains all the astrological elements from your birth date, time, and location. They are color coded to the I Ching and include the primary theme for each of the astrological elements. The birth chart, profiles, and reports are custom designs and therefore take up to 3 business days to complete.
The profiles, birth charts, and reports are compatible with the Human Design and Gene Keys systems. The placement of the hexagrams on the 360 degree astrological birth chart comes from the Human Design system developed around 1989 after Ra Uru Hu / Alan (Robert) Krakower had a mystical experience where he received the information from a voice over the course of a few days, and then studied and tested it before sharing the information as the Human Design system. The Human Design and Gene Keys system (developed by Richard Rudd) are great tools for self-development, they have helped many people, including myself, with self-discovery, and the process of deconditioning. It can be complicated for some, and take a few years to fully understand and apply it.
I believe working directly with the I Ching is a simpler way of integrating the information, and expanding our self-awareness. The profiles, birth charts, and reports are great as an introduction to the concepts. My personal journey has shown me the power that these systems and the I Ching has for self-discovery, it has affected my being, and every aspect of my life. My own process of transformation has inspired the Spectrum I Ching for Self-Realization system I developed.

The Intuitive Geometry method is a set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything. The method was created by Nathalie Strassburg over a period of several years after she had an inspiring vision of a large geometric drawing.
Overlapping circles have been studied since ancient times. Two overlapping circles create the almond shape called the vesica pisces from which we can make basic geometric shapes. The intuitive geometry method has expanded on these basic foundations, commonly referred to as Sacred Geometry, and now includes spirals, waves and scaling. Once you master the method’s 8 principles (circle, square, triangle, hexagon, pentagon, spirals, waves, scaling) you can apply them intuitively and draw anything. The book (and e-book) contains step by step instructions, step by step examples and example art.
Nathalie Strassburg is a South African designer, artist, author, gardener, and human transformation enthusiast.

Intuitive Geometry is not just about drawing, it is about developing our intuition and learning the fundamental structure of life. Practicing the use of overlapping circles affects our consciousness on all levels, and our ability to become more powerful creators in this world. – Nathalie Strassburg
The Intuitive Geometry method is a set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything. The method was created by Nathalie Strassburg over a period of several years after she had an inspiring vision of a large geometric drawing. This article explains her approach to commissioned artwork, prices, and the terms. Custom Images and Designs based on existing artwork are also available.

Commissioned Artwork
Intuitive Geometry is something Nathalie believes is a gift to all of us. For this reason she made it possible for anyone to learn the method for free online, so that location and income did not prevent anyone from learning it. She also makes images and line art of the original artworks available for purchase at a relatively low cost for personal use so that it is accessible as inspiring wall art, coloring, teaching aids, gifts, tattoos and other personal projects.
Artworks are generally produced in a large size so that they are in high resolution and can be reproduced in prints and on products (currently through Fine Art America with a 30 day money back guarantee). Large artworks take time to produce because in order to achieve the Intuitive Geometry coloring effect it takes many layers of coloring. The large artworks that are 620 x 1500 mm / 25.2″ × 59″ take up to a month to produce because Nathalie also manages her websites, books, self-sufficient home, and a large garden with many fruits, berries, nuts, medicinal, and other plants.
Because the artworks take so much time to produce Nathalie decided it is in the best interest of everyone if she does not produce exclusive commissions. She believes that any artwork that is produced should be shared with everyone because they serve as an example of the method.

Overlapping circles have been studied since ancient times. Two overlapping circles create the almond shape called the vesica pisces from which we can make basic geometric shapes. The intuitive geometry method has expanded on these basic foundations, commonly referred to as Sacred Geometry, and now includes spirals, waves and scaling. Once you master the method’s 8 principles (circle, square, triangle, hexagon, pentagon, spirals, waves, scaling) you can apply them intuitively and draw anything. The book (and e-book) contains step by step instructions, step by step examples and example art.

Circle
Overlapping seven circles with the same radius creates 6 equal divisions. You can continue this division to create 12, 24, 48, 96, 192… radial divisions. Learn the circle with step by step instructions >
Overlapping two circles with the same radius creates the first triangle. Overlapping three can create a triangle twice the size. Overlapping six circles creates various possibilities including the five regular solids: the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron. Learn the triangle with step by step instructions >
Hexagon
Overlapping six circles with the same radius creates two different hexagons. Hexagonal tiling is efficient because it has minimal boundary lines – honeycomb is a great example of this. Learn the hexagon with step by step instructions >
Overlapping circles become the guides for creating any type of spiral. For equally spaced spirals you move one circle for every arch. For growing spirals you move double the number of circles for every new arch. You can create custom spirals to suit your designs. Learn spirals with step by step instructions >
Waves
Overlapping circles create the guides for drawing waves. Different scales of overlapping circles create infinite possibilities for custom wave designs. Waves are universal patterns of light, electricity, sound, wind etc. Learn waves with step by step instructions >
Scaling
Scaling is the secret to drawing anything with overlapping circles. The patterns of life are circles within circles and universally scale in steps: down half the size or up double in size. Learn scaling with step by step instructions >
We are living in an interesting time with many changes around us. There is a greater purpose to all that is happening. The best strategy is to align ourselves with the pattern that we are in so that we can flow with the changes and experience harmony, peace and prosperity regardless of what is going on in the world.
What is going on?
So what is going on? We are in the early stages of a longer term cycle to remedy underlying energetic stagnation through the tension of transformation. We can already see greater instability in nearly all areas of our lives. Political, social and economical instability are the physical manifestations of the energetic changes that are happening. The majority of social, political and economical systems are going through a period of decay and change that will continue as we move towards something that is more sustainable.
What is the greater purpose?
What is the greater purpose of it? We are entering into a time that will allow for reflection, greater sensitivity, greater awareness, and healing of the unresolved trauma and emotional energy that is a part of our evolutionary journey and the underlying cause of the trouble we see in individuals, our relationships, and communities. These changes will allow us to become more sustainable within ourselves, and create a more sustainable world.
How can we prepare ourselves?
The best way to prepare ourselves is through the perspective we choose to have. Unsustainable ways will not work anymore. We can see this as an opportunity to create the kind of world we want to live in, from where we are, and what we are capable of. This is not something that will be lead by governments or large organizations, it will come from individuals, an inner revolution, because we are the vehicles through which consciousnesstransforms.
The kind of perspective that embraces change includes equanimity, optimism, using the tension of transformation and allowing change to occur within us, and in our lives by making any changes we can to our lifestyle that make things simpler and easier.
Take care of your emotional well-being. Do shadow work, learn to see the world from a metaphysical perspective, and learn how to use your dreams to guide you to greater awareness.
Cultivate a growth mindset, and release thoughts and beliefs of victimization.
Understand the Spectrum of Relationships, commit to compatible relationships, and let go of people who are not compatible so that the right people can find each other.
If possible, grow a garden with some basic herbs, fruits and vegetables. You can also join others or create community gardens. Creating a garden is a powerful alchemical process that will transform you from the inside.
Become more self-sufficient so that you travel less, and require less imports and goods that come from far away.
Rely less on governments and organizations that are unsustainable.
Invest some of your energy in your community and neighbors.
Find a higher purpose to live for by following your authentic joy. Money and pleasure are not sustainable purposes.
Spend more time doing activities that are uplifting and nourishing, for example: art (you can learn Intuitive Geometry), dancing, playing, spending time outside, talking about uplifting subjects, reading about people and subjects that are inspiring, watching educational media, walking in nature, gardening, writing, meditating, making or listening to uplifting music, dreaming, relaxing, and being still.
Learn to relax and be still. Excessive thinking and activities are a reflection of the energetic instabilities, learn to bring your energetic system into greater coherence and equilibrium through your breath and focusing your awareness on one thing.
Develop your intuitive abilities, it is life’s intelligence guiding you. Science shows us that our intuitive abilities rely on the degree of coherence we can embody.
Learn to appreciate yourself, life as it is, nature, animals and the people around you.
Release any grievances, and practice forgiveness and compassion.
Create daily practices that bring inner peace such as contemplation, affirmations, and gratitude.
Expand your consciousness by integrating new ideas, letting go of old beliefs and limiting ideas that do not serve you or bring you joy. Expand your awareness of the Spectrum of Spirit Consciousness.

The Intuitive Geometry method is a basic set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything. Below are the step by step instructions for universal scaling.
At any point draw a circle of any size. Find any point on the circumference and draw a circle with the same radius (AB). Continue around drawing a circle at any new intersection on the circumference and you will create 6 divisions.
Connect A & B, extend the line to find D and mark it. With centre A & radius AD draw a circle twice the size of the first one.
Find E. Connect C & E to find F. With centre A and radius AF draw a circle half the size of the first one. Draw a circle with centre F & radius FB.
Find, Mark and connect G & H. Find & mark I. Draw a circle with centre I & radius IF. You can continue this method indefinitely.

The Intuitive Geometry method is a basic set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything. Below are the step by step instructions for waves.
At any point (A) draw a circle of any size. Find any point on the circumference (B) and draw a circle with the same radius (AB). Continue around drawing a circle at any new intersection (C etc.) on the circumference and you will create 6 divisions.
Find points D & E, connect them with a straight line to divide the circle in half.
Find & mark F & G. Extend DE. Draw a circle with centre G and radius GA. With the same radius continue drawing new circles on the new intersections H, I, J etc. You can now draw the wave by using the circles as guides.
To scale the wave smaller: Find K, L, M, N & mark them. Connect K & M and extend the line. Connect C & N and extend the line. Connect L & B, Find and mark O. With centre A and radius AO draw a circle. With the same radius continue drawing circles on the new intersections P, Q, R, S etc. You can now draw the wave by using the smaller circles as guides. You can continue the wave indefinitely.
