Every moment is an opportunity to see the intrinsic sameness of everyone and everything – we’re all kindred spirits. – We explore, as Danushia says, seeing beyond the veil … and having fun with it! In this video conversation, Danushia Kaczmarek inteviews Bruce Rawles about “The Spirit of Science ~ Sacred Geometry ~ The Pyramids of Egypt” in her interview series about going from head to heart. We cover a wide range of subjects including Fibonacci numbers, spirals, the golden ratio, Platonic Solids, sterograms, biofeedback, catelysts, ACIM, the double helix of DNA, modern physics ideas such as quantum entanglement, the wave/particle (double slit) phenomenon, expectations in the mind and the undoing of the Newtonian world view, flat approximations for living on a spheroid, and much more. (Quick correction; in the conversation I mentioned Mauna Kea, but it’s actually Mauna Loa, Hawai’i that is at the 19.5° north latitude.)

Midnight in the Desert – interview July 24, 2017
I will be the guest of Midnight In The Desert (MITD) – Late Night Talk Radio with Heather Wade from 9:30PM-1AM on Monday, July 24, 2017. Here is the page on the MITD site about my conversation: – Bruce Rawles – The Ubiquitous Hermetic Laws.
I will be conversing about : Non-dual Metaphysics, Sacred Geometry, The Seven Hermetic Laws, Lessons from Modern Physics, The Great Pyramid of Giza. Please join us! 🙂
Seed of Life nanotubes, Musical symbolism, Life in a Computer-Simulated Matrix, big geometric lanterns
A few quick – and interesting! – links to share:
- Growing Nanotube Forests … this ubiquitous geometric archetype known to many as the “Seed of Life” makes an appearance on a microscopic scale
- 432octaves: Benjamin Joshua addresses quite a few topics here: art, music & a synthesis of ongoing research into the many realms of Music & Music Theory, Sacred Geometry, Golden Proportion, Mathematics, Frequency & Vibration, The Harmony Of The Spheres, Cymatics, 432Hz Family, The Sumerian Cyclical Tuning System, Outer Space, Astronomy, Etymology, Pharmacology, Symbolism, Alchemy, Sound Healing, Geodetics, Metallurgy, Agriculture, Architecture, World Religions, Technology, Ethnomusicology, Megalithic Sites, Meditation, Magnetism, Ancient Cultures, Pendulums, Guitar
- Ma Sonic? Joe Dubs has a neat graphic on his FaceBook page on “Decoding the Musical Symbolism”
- I’ve probably mentioned this one before, but the implications bear re-examination … What if our life here is virtual reality? Life in a Computer-Simulated Matrix
- In case you missed them: GeometryCode Favorites – Favorite sacred-geometry and interconnectedness-related Movies, Books, Music, Software, and much more…
- Thanks to fellow geometers Asha Deliverance (of Pacific Domes) and for the photos of these big geometric lanterns by Hybycozo – a Dodecahedron (Platonic Solid) and Small Rhombicosidodecahedron (Archimedean Solid), respectively – photographed in San Francisco, and these related links (thanks to Ed Kellogg): Temporary Sculptures Light Up Hayes Valley and Illuminate SF – Trillian+DODI
New German Sacred Geometry Coloring Book for Adults! – Bewusst malen – Heilige Geometrie
Coloring Book for Adults … now available in a German edition!
A few months ago, I wrote that a new abridged version of the German edition of my first book Mandalas Der Heiligen Geometrie (MDHG) was underway. Mandalas Der Heiligen Geometrie (MDHG) is currently out of print, but I still have a few copies of this German edition of my Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook (SGDS) available, if anyone in the US would like to buy one, just contact me if you’re interested in this collector’s item, which contains the original rainbow-colored cardboard fold-up Platonic Solid Mobile designed by the book’s translator, Jay Goldner, who graciously donated his time and effort to make the German version over a decade ago.
Now the new (abridged from the original MDHG) sacred geometry coloring book for adults, Bewusst malen – Heilige Geometrie, is available from the original publisher, Silbershnur Verlag. Here is where you can order a copy online. If you know anyone in Germany, please spread the word, thanks! And continued kudos and gratitude to Jay Goldner for his efforts is making these images available again, thanks to his collaborative efforts! 🙂
I have spent countless meditative hours over several decades exploring these fascinating patterns, both with compass and straightedge as classical geometers have done for millennia, and with modern CAD software to make the original Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook (SGDS) from which this newest incarnation of that source material was derived. I hope you continue to find this practice as inspiring, relaxing, fun and mind-opening as I have over the years.
Use these links below to order the different versions of my adult coloring, reference and other books:
- Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook (SGDS) – (English) over 1300 graphics, spiral-bound for easy photocopying with generous reference material and explanatory introductory text
- Mandalas Der Heiligen Geometrie (MDHG) – original German edition (currently out-of-print from the publisher, but contact me if you’re interested in one of the few remaining copies); includes a bonus mobile not in the English edition which suspends multicolored cardboard fold-up Platonic Solids; MDHG actually has all the same illustrations that SGDS has, PLUS the mobile!
- Bewusst malen – Heilige Geometrie – the new German coloring book for adults, excerpted from MDHG
- The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation – (English) not a coloring book, and the geometry theme is more of a subtle backdrop in this book; a very different metaphysical treatise with humor, mysticism and practical application of ancient Hermetic Laws
New Coloring Book For Adults in progress
Does anyone remember Mandalas Der Heiligen Geometrie (MDHG)? (I still have a few copies of this German edition of my Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook (SGDS) available, by the way, if anyone in the US would like to buy one; they are currently out of print. Just follow the instructions on this page if you’d like one of the few remaining copies in my inventory.) When I learned that the original German edition master files had been misplaced, I just figured that it had a good run for several years, and mostly put the idea of (laboriously) re-creating the book (for any language) on the proverbial back burner. This past week, however, I’ve been corresponding via email with fellow geometer and author Jay Goldner, who graciously donated his time and effort to make the German version over a decade ago. He was generously both the liaison with the German publisher (and pitched the idea for the book), and did the English-to-German translation as well; kudos to Jay! He is now working again with me in a similar capacity to make an abridged version of MDHG available in Europe (and perhaps elsewhere?) that will be an adult coloring book with a subset of the geometric archetypcal patterns that MDHG and SGDS have featured.
I keep hearing that these coloring books for adults are becoming popular again, which isn’t news for me, but fun to hear. I’ve enjoyed exploring these sacred geometric images artistically with colored pencils, pastels, since the early 1970’s and of course (in more recent decades) digital media and applications. I intentionally made SGDS spiral bound (which took a bit of research to find a good on-demand online printer/fullfillment after printing it locally for years before the online services were more available) so that it’s pages could be laid flat on a photocopy machine or flatbed scanner for making multiple copies for coloring, arts and crafts, enlargements for bigger projects, quilting, stained-glass, and so much more! …
Here are a few similar books … and another example series: Brand New Design Originals-Zentangle 1 Expanded Wrkbk Edition Brand New.
And since I’m (very appropriately) typing this post on Thanksgiving 2015, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all, for your decades of support and interest in my books, websites, etc. 🙂
