Sacred Geometry Media Resource Blog
Update: January 1, 2015: I’m keeping this page for historical reasons (and to not break links to the page), but as of today, I’m retiring this contest for a several reasons, (1) this page was evidently buried deep enough that not many people were finding it, and (2) accordingly, the number of submissions I was getting dwindled over the past few years, and (3) the contest prize (generously donated, in part, by Mika Feinberg of LightSource) no longer runs on some of the newer larger (and smaller) screen sizes. However, if you DO have interesting imagery, video or audio or links, etc. of interest that has been inspired by any of my interviews, books, blog posts, bulletins or anything else that appears on this site … or related to interconnectedness, sacred geometry and the like, please DO send links and your comments my way, and if appropriate, I’ll share with my readership. Many thanks to all that have participated in this contest from past years! 🙂
I know that many of you have been using images and info from my Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook for over a decade, because I get lots of interesting emails, letters, and examples of images as well as questions and ideas of projects you’re working on. Since a picture = 1 Kilo-word (or more :-), I wanna see pictures (and lots of them) inspired by my book with page number(s).
I’ve had dialogues with people from all over the world doing everything from stained glass to quilts to web graphics to architecture to tattoos to landscaping to kids toys to logos and much more. Although graphics are perhaps the easiest to relate, there’s lots of other media that I’m interested in seeing such as sculpture of all sorts as well as other 3D creations, animations, textile or mixed media, collage, acrylics, holography, and even music/sound design is fair game if it uses proportions from my bibliography. If you have a home-schooler project or other classroom exercise, or have written anything inspired by my book or websites and generally related to sacred geometry or the principle of interconnectedness, I’d love to see/hear it!
My intention is to show lots of examples of creativity that exemplifies how we’re all part of the same infinite fabric, related by principles that transcend space and time, yet are reflected in space and time. The contest is just to spur a little effort to send in your sacred-geometrically-inspired work.
PREFERENCES: In terms of submission, the easiest (1st preference) for me would be a URL linking to a page that shows off your work, in whatever media, with your comments about the work and perhaps a short bio about yourself and how your work relates to sacred geometry, and the relevant page(s) from my book. Next best would be to send me a jpg or two (please keep file size to about 1MB max) of your work, along with the same info as above in an email in text form. Least preferably you can postal mail me submissions to my postal address. All my contact info is here.
PRIZE: One GeometryCode screensaver/eBooklet (Mac or PC) download.
TIMING: Submissions required by Dec. 31, midnight Pacific Standard Time (email or postal mail received by then); I’ll announce the winner and provide a link to a page with appropriate “honorable mentions” online in January.
QUALIFICATIONS: Ever since I was a kid, I saw the contest rules on cereal boxes disqualifying employees and family. Since I don’t have any employees, that’s easy enough, and my family already has (my book and) screen saver, so they can submit entries, but won’t be eligible for the prize. Also, I reserve the right to not display any and all submissions on the website. 🙂 You must also agree to allow me to post your submission on my website(s); GeometryCode.com and/or BruceRawles.com (since I’ll be posting these on my blog as well).
Media: URL, (link to your artwork in various formats, e.g. YouTube Clip, Flash animation, etc.), jpg or png file (please limit to 1MB, with links to larger images) mp3 file (audio or music that incorporates sacred geometry harmonics/ratios, etc.) snail mail (see address here.)
So, please email me with any submissions or questions;
I’m looking forward eagerly to your responses! 🙂
Here is a
highly compressed YouTube clip of an infinite recursive loop of nested Platonic Solids.
(The original is larger, MUCH better resolution and loops seamlessly.)
Interestingly, the inner cube (reference point for the start and end of the animation loop point)
and outer cube have an exact 1:3 ratio and identical orientation on the x-y-z axes.

Here are three of the first animations I created (about the time I was writing
Sacred Geometry Design SourceBook
in 1996) which show counter-rotating star tetrahedra.
Stay tuned for samples from other 2D and 3D geometric animation projects.
There are more animations by myself and others listed on my personal blog.
It turned out that Mika & I were both fans of each other’s work, so the dialogue that evolved led to the Geometry Code screensaver after numerous enthusiastic phone calls and emails. Since we completed our collaboration, both PC and Macintosh versions of LightSource have been updated to the latest higher resolution technology to provide even more dazzling imagery than the original.
Mika’s sense of color and animation virtuosity encompasses a variety of related products. Among the others, my personal favorite is his Sacred Gaiametry which features some of the most inspiring crop formations. I find that these culture-independent patterns have a way of speaking to our inner sensibilities directly, bypassing the intellect and touching a more transpersonal awareness. Adding animation offers an even greater dimension to these universal archetypes, relating to us how our nature is intrinsically interwoven.
The Sacred Gaiametry – Codes of the Cosmos, LightSource CD and DVDs with Hemi-Sync audio (which promotes synchronization of the left and right hemispheres of the brain) are all HIGHLY recommended; all are visually soothing and energizing at the same time.
Here are few sample images from another of Mika’s masterpieces… One really needs to see the animations to appreciate any of these; even the still images here are quite lovely at full resolution on your computer, and when animated they are incomparable!)
The Geometry Code ebooklet and screen saver is fantastic – a marvelous blend of sacred art and timeless wisdom.” – Dr. Leonard Laskow, author of Healing With Love
The new offering from Rawles and Feinberg, The Geometry Code screen saver, is eye candy, a true work of art, and a must to experience. – James Barrett author of The Silent Gospel
What an awesome experience just watching these. I felt drawn in and at some point fell into a trance, only noticeable when I came back out a few seconds later and realized how deep the images took me. Really cool. – Dr. Jodine Turner
Actually, I’ve never used a screen saver before, but I will now. I greatly value the wisdom of the Hermetic laws, and to have sacred geometry symbols representing these principles is very meaningful for me. Now I can bathe in their beauty and wonder daily! Thank you for your insight, art, and wizardry. – Dean Shrock, Ph.D. – author of Doctor’s Orders: Go Fishing
“The screen saver/meditation tool is gorgeous.
We oohed and aahed. Thanks very very much.”
– Barbara R., metaphysical networker, artist
Looks great! Thank you!
– G. Wuchenich, Calif., world traveler, singer
“The screen saver works great … Nice job!”
– Jim R., author, blogger
