Symbols of Interconnectedness Everywhere

by

As we close out a very surreal year, we wish you the peace that arises from the realization that we’re all interconnected and therefore kindness is appropriate every where and every when. Note the ring of Vesica Piscis shapes around the middle cylinder in this ceiling decoration in a hotel lobby. :-) The Vesica Piscis is the “lens” that is formed when two identical circles (symbolizing two identical seemingly separate selves) exactly touch overlapping so that one circle touches the “heart” or center of the other and vice versa. I imagine Plato (if he were around to comment) might suggest that even these helpful symbols are not the perfection – that transcends their apparent form – that the circles merely represent; the reality or essence in our minds is beyond any specific instance in space or time that the shapes, no matter how elegant or refined, could possibly convey. Like holograms, each of us contains the whole although not apparent to our senses. May 2021 be an opportunity for all of us to deepen our appreciation of the wholeness within every seeming part! :-)

Upside-down world? Hopefully your books aren’t!

First and foremost, We’d like to thank everyone who has supported us for over two decades! Your purchase of our books and use of affiliate links helps us continue this mostly “labor of love” website and related social media. :-)

This year seems to have turned everything upside-down and sometimes that seems to be so literally …

Recently, a customer who purchased a copy of my Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook discovered that some of the interior pages were upside-down! I just spoke with the company that does both the printing and fulfillment of this book (Lulu.com) and they reassured me that this is a rare, isolated hiccup. Since Lulu has done an excellent job printing and shipping this book for many, many years, I’m hoping and assuming this is the case. However, just in case someone else has experienced this issue, please use this link for Lulu support or phone them directly at 1-844-212-0689 (US) or +1-919-459-5858 (Outside the US) … Their support staff confirmed (as expected) that they will happily assist any customers who have received a misprinted book.

Similarly, if you have questions about the printing of my second book, The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation please contact Amazon Support directly for returns or other questions and/or issues about printing or shipping of my second book.

For all other comments, questions, and correspondence, please contact us directly here. Thanks! :-)Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook - cover

Metatron Cube 3D Animation – Flower of Life – Platonic Solids – video

by

Platonic Solid vertices from Metatron's Cube

Here’s a fun 3-D video animation showing how the vertices of the five Platonic Solids and their “shadow” projections from 3-dimensional space to the 2-dimensional plane align with intersections of lines in the classic “Seed of Life”, “Flower of Life”, “Fruit of Life” and “Metatron’s Cube” line art illustrations, progressing from Tetrahedron to Star Tetrahedron to Cube (Hexahedron) to Octahedron to Icosahedron to Dodecahedron.

If you’d like to explore the relationship of “Metatron’s Cube” and “Flower of Life” (progressing from “Seed of Life”) line art illustrations with the Platonic Solids (all illustrated in the video above) and much more, check out my first book, Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook: Universal Dimensional Patterns!

The “Seed of Life”, “Flower of Life”, and “Fruit of Life” illustrations (with numerous variations) cover are on pages 85 through 93. Pages 94 and particularly  page 95 (a low-res image shown above) explore the Metatron’s Cube relationships in detail.

Penrose and other Tilings: periodic and aperiodic – video exploration

by

Homage To Kepler's model of the solar system
Kepler’s Model of the Solar System (nested Platonic Solids) and other fun and somewhat boggling geometric explorations unfold in this visually engaging video presentation about periodic … and aperiodic pentagonal tilings discovered by Roger Penrose, quasicrystals, and – of course – cameo appearances by the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Series. Enjoy! :-)

Thanks to Shaun L. for alerting me to this gem of a video!

3-D Polyhedra Software: Modeling, Art, Animation, Apps and more

by

Stella software: Rhombicosidodecahedron - example showing polyhedron, partially folded, and flattened netIf you want to experiment with 3D geometry software, check out Stella from Software3D; lots of possibilities here including the nets (a.k.a. fold-up patterns) for making polyhedra cut out from flat material, such as paper, cardboard or whatever. The animations showing the flattened 2-dimensional nets morphing into their completed 3-dimensional counterparts are particularly fun and useful since you can see intuitively how these polygons all work together to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts. :-)

Among the many other helpful and interesting products and items on this site is the “Worlds Kaleid!” live camera kaleidoscope app for Android.
