GeometryCode.com Annual Survey (December 2023)

Friday, 1 December 2023 by Bruce Rawles

Thanks to all of you for your continued and ongoing support of this labor of love website!

It has been quite a while since we’ve had a reader survey or poll! Here are the results of the last one from a couple of decades ago:

Here’s an opportunity to share your geometric interests, passions, curiosities, favorite topics, and whatever you think will be helpful, useful, and fun!

We’ll replicate this survey each year, provide results annually, and hopefully guide our content to where you find existing and unexplored subjects!

Monthly miscellany for mathematical musing

Sunday, 30 April 2023 by Bruce Rawles

Thanks to fellow geometer, James Barrett, for this interesting update about tiling patterns: Newly discovered ‘einstein’ shape can do something no other tile can do.
A portion of this Coast-to-Coast program is on crop circles, which have exhibited some amazing geometries for decades.
The Quantum Revolution (12 episodes): “Gaia is proud to present a comprehensive series from Nassim Haramein who offers a quantum revolution to the way we think about the universe, quantum mechanics, consciousness, and our spiritual connection.” Geometry and physics are inexorably linked! I attended one of Nassim’s fascinating all-day workshops a couple decades ago, give or take.
2022’s Biggest Breakthroughs in Math; one example: like 3D creatures able to discern situations that Flatlanders can fathom, sometimes we just need to add another dimension – in this case to solve a bubble problem.
Sacred Geometry circle art and some helpful how-to “Geometryptamine” construction videos by Zak Korvin.

$golden spirals from pentagram fractal by Geotryptamine$

Similar golden ratio, pentagram/pentagon, spiral constructions – with numerous variations! – are on pages 146-156 (among others) of Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook.

Geometric Inspiration and Education

Thursday, 21 April 2022 by Bruce Rawles

Reflecting on the growth – explosion, really – of information available to us online compared to what we had access to just a few decades ago, I recalled that in the early 1970s when I was an undergraduate electrical engineering student at UC Davis, California, I used the card catalog in a long row of tidy wooden cabinets at the Shields Library – a building which covers an entire block of the campus – to look up everything I could find (at that time) on the Golden Ratio, Golden Number, Golden Section, Divine Proportion, Phi (ø) or Tau (τ) Proportion, Sacred Cut, Extreme and Mean Ratio, etc. and other synonyms for the ubiquitous (1 + √5)/2 ≈ 1.6180339887… value. This fascination was my response to a gift of two books – both with references to the golden ratio – from my mother who indirectly introduced me to this enthralling subject which later was popularized with the term “sacred geometry”:

Secrets of the Great Pyramid by Peter Tompkins
This Living Earth by David Cavagnaro

I found a few dozen books that led to other books and on and on into the mystical realms of the intersections of mathematics, ornamentation, art, music, architecture, history, and above all – mind. … But after checking out those books, I felt I had somewhat exhausted the more obvious references to this topic in this library. … Not anymore!

Fast forward a half-century; now googling Sacred Geometry, as of today (21 April 2022) we get a staggering 45 million results for this niche topic (including my evergreen minimalist GeometryCode Introduction to the subject now way past overdue for a revisit and update) and 481 million for the Golden Ratio!

The same curiosity still remains in my mind: What can be counted on that does NOT change? The laws of mathematics in general and geometry, in particular, seem relatively stable, fortunately, at least within the context of the Cartesian space-time paradigm. When I was in high school, I read Education and Ecstasy by George Leonard and I realized that to really dive deep and learn immersively, one needed to be motivated, inspired or at least have their curiosity seriously piqued or their assumptions about life challenged. Exploring some of the ideas that these readings opened up for me was enough!

Now there are a multitude of online offerings that can motivate young and old alike to explore esoteric topics like interconnectedness (e.g. quantum entanglement), geometric symbolism and synchronicities, and so much more. Another vital element that has a multiplying effect is FUN!

Here are a few quickly-found resources for educators and explorers in this realm (including teachers, home-schoolers) and philosophers of all stripes:

A simple but engaging animation showing basic 2D geometries morphing from one to another:
Shapes – Learn 2D Geometric Shapes – The Kids’ Picture Show (Fun & Educational Learning Video)
10 Geometric Art Explorations (Study measurement, area, fractions, and more!) … The graphic of color-filled intersections of simple 2D shapes on this page was adapted from the image below the “6. Frac-Geo-Bot” section on this page.
… for about 23 million more links, try googling “geometric art science toys videos”
or try these categories on the GeometryCode website: coloring books for adults, sacred geometry art, sacred geometry books, sacred geometry coloring books, sacred geometry toys … just for starters

Enjoy! :-)

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

Monday, 7 December 2020 by Bruce Rawles

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! :-)

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

Monday, 30 November 2020 by Bruce Rawles

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.
