Cover design for a philosophical book on the patterns beneath life

I am looking for a talented cover designer to create the full wrap cover, front, spine, and back, for my non-fiction book, a work of philosophical self-help about the patterns that underlie human experience and how recognizing them can reduce suffering and lead to a more meaningful life. The book is spiritually resonant without belonging to any religion, and the cover should carry that same quality, a sense of the sacred and the timeless that comes from truth rather than dogma. The feeling I want a reader to have on seeing it is quiet recognition, the sense that something ancient and ordered is being pointed to. The central idea of the book is that a single underlying pattern runs through everything, from the cosmic to the personal, so imagery that evokes that unity would sit at the heart of the design. I am open to your concepts rather than prescribing a single image, but an example of something I like is black and gold, concentric rings and/or spirals. Strong, confident typography matters as much as the imagery, since the title needs to hold its own and read clearly at thumbnail size on a retailer page. Deliverables are the full wrap in print-ready format for paperback, front cover, spine, and back cover, laid out to trim and bleed specifications I will provide, along with a separate front-cover image sized for the ebook listing. Final files in the layered source format plus high-resolution export. When you bid, please include a link to your portfolio, particularly any book covers or work with a spiritual, minimal, or geometric sensibility, and a short note on the concept direction you would explore for this book. I am less interested in bids that only quote a price and more interested in designers who show they understand the feeling I am describing.
