Cross symbolism, coloring books for adults, vesica piscis and misc. links

by

I recently received this inquiry about the symbolic meaning of a cross:

Hi, I love your site. I am learning so much. I don’t see any information about the symbol ‘The Cross’. Is the cross a universal symbol? A sacred symbol? It’s the symbol used in Christianity but does it have wider significance?
Thank you for your time and your knowledge! Thank you, thank you,
– A., California

… and I provided this response:

Thanks for the kind words, and your question.

Yes, the cross can represent a very wide array of symbolic meanings, and its obvious geometric aspects attest to its universality beyond any specific religious or philosophical adoption, but I try to remember that symbolic systems can be simplified to just 2 thought systems:
Inclusion: whatever leads us back to thoughts of sameness, interconnectedness and ultimately Oneness
and
Exclusion: whatever leads us deeper into the metaphoric darkness of separate interests, differences and identification with the ephemeral, dualistic and divisive.

Therefore, seen from the former thought system of Inclusion, a cross can be a reminder that we can find the center (intersection) point where we transcend polarities, find common ground and respond with kindness … or an idol for specialness and ‘win-lose’ tug-of-war battles. It’s always our choice. :-)

I touch on this symbolism in the chapter on the Law of Polarity in my second book, The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation

You might also enjoy listening to this related recent conversation about the Law of Polarity.

Thanks again for your inquiry and support! :-)

I keep finding more indications that the interest in adult coloring books is continuing to rise, such as this Coloring Book Master Class promotion. In addition to the classic reference book that contains over 1300 images suitable for easy photocopying for geometric coloring book use, my German publisher recently released a beautiful hardbound book (with a very nice subset of the images in the larger book) as Bewusst malen – Heilige Geometrie which also has some great quotes on facing pages. Thanks again to fellow author and artist, Jay Goldner, for his work in bringing this second book containing my geometric artwork to Europe and the world.

Here are a few miscellaneous links about sacred geometry and related, interconnected topics that have crossed (pun intended) my path recently that you might find interesting:

The Hourglass Nebula
This is an image of MyCn18, a young planetary nebula located about 8,000 light-years away, taken with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). This Hubble image reveals the true shape of MyCn18 to be an hourglass with an intricate pattern of ‘etchings’ in its walls. This picture has been composed from three separate images taken in the light of ionized nitrogen (represented by red), hydrogen (green), and doubly-ionized oxygen (blue). The results are of great interest because they shed new light on the poorly understood ejection of stellar matter which accompanies the slow death of Sun-like stars. In previous ground-based images, MyCn18 appears to be a pair of large outer rings with a smaller central one, but the fine details cannot be seen.

Vibration Station Conversation – The Geometry Code Book: Chapter 5: Correspondence

by

Great Pyramid - Sphinx - Compass - InfinityIn this audio recording, Dave Cohen (a.k.a. Davie Crockett), and Bruce Rawles talk about “Correspondence: 2nd of the 7 Hermetic Laws” which is Chapter 5 from the book The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation on Sunday, 28 February 2016, on his LA Talk Radio show.

These excerpts from Chapter 5 pertain to our conversation and center on relationship, relatedness and quantum entanglement as being primary:

“”As above, so below; as below, so above.” – The Kybalion

“What do you forgive? Well, it’s simple. Whatever comes up in front of your face on any given day, that’s what you’re supposed to forgive. It’s not a mystery; it’s always right there in front of you. You may think you can’t see what’s in your unconscious mind; well, you don’t have to. All you have to see is the symbolic representation of it that is being pre- sented to you right now … symbolic of that which already ex- ists in your own unconscious mind. As you forgive that, you’re REALLY forgiving yourself.”
– Gary Renard, “The End of Reincarnation”

… and another related quote that appears in the 5th Chapter that was part of our conversation:

“Love is a cohesive force that holds things in relatedness, so by seeing relationships you are participating in the love activ- ity of the universe.”
– Viola Petitt Neal, PhD & Shafica Karagulla, M.D., Through the Curtain

Sacred Geometry Coloring Book for Adults! – Bewusst malen – Heilige Geometrie – new this week!

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.
