Fibonacci Garden - DVD artwork

Fibonacci Garden: Mathematics in the Plant World – New DVD from Michael Schneider

I just today received “Fibonacci Garden: Mathematics in the Plant World“, the latest DVD from Michael S. Schneider, author of the superb book A Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe: Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art, and Science by Michael Schneider (which I often recommend as a companion to Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook.) I haven’t had time to watch it, but based on his Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe book and related DVDs (all excellent), I can already recommend it highly. I’ll do a more detailed review in next month’s bulletin – make that this month’s (December 2014) bulletin, since it just became December while I was typing this. :-)

Truncated icosahedron with seed of life faces, and more geometric jewelry

New items include a vesica-piscis-yin-yang-entangled pendant, star tetrahedra with and without enclosing spheres, Flower of Life, Seed of Life, zodiacal emblems and a truncated icosahedron (i.e. soccer ball shape) with each face a seed of life shape … and much more. Their geometric and design artistry draws from a diversity of cultural traditions and contemporary visionary interpretations. You might want to benefit from their current seasonal 15% discount; use Coupon Code – KAGOLD2014 – valid until December 24, 2014.

As always, please let me know how I might support you. Please send me any interesting items about sacred geometry or related interests … since everything is inter-related!If you would like to stay connected and network with kindred souls online, check out my pages on
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn. I always enjoy connecting with both recent and long-time friends and colleagues and discovering new friends of friends :-)Thanks for your interest & support! :-) BTW, I always appreciate enthusiastic reviews on the Amazon SGDS book page, and the newer Amazon book page for The Geometry Code. It’s a good “win-win” way to cross-promote your work as well.

If you like to color with colored pencils (or other media), make 3-D fold-up geometric art, do stained glass, quilts, geometric arts and/or crafts, or just want an extensive reference/resource of geometric archetypes, patterns and essential line art, you might enjoy a copy of my first book, Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook: Universal Dimensional Patterns.

If your leanings are more metaphysical … and perhaps whimsical :-) … you might enjoy my second book, The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation. It was originally going to have geometry and Hermetic Laws/symbolism as a primary focus, but in 2007, a reawakened interest in the spiritual masterpiece, A Course In Miracles – thanks to Gary Renard – shifted the primary emphasis to an exploration of the two thought fundamental systems we all vacillate between, and how we can gradually shift our mind’s identity to the happy one.

Bubble Soccer - toroids and truncated tetrahedra

Follow the bouncing ball: toroidal torsos, tetrahedra and truncated icosahedra

I recently saw a fun video on FaceBook showing soccer players with their torsos enclosed in protective toroidal bubbles, and then found this related Bubble Soccer USA site. Perhaps sport is now imitating what some believe is the shape of the human electromagnetic energy field? Below is a stylized illustration I did some years ago of nested rainbow colored toroids surrounding a meditator in lotus position.

Toroid Fractal Nest Rainbow

Of course, the shape of a traditional soccer ball is roughly the projection of a truncated icosahedron onto a sphere. Since inflated bubbles provide superb cushioning, they are also found on this NASA Mars lander video; note the tetrahedral cushioning balloons (with 6 quasi-spherical balloons on each face) about 3.5 minutes into the video.

Solar System Geometry Calendars for 2015

I just updated the popular Martineau Solar System Series calendar for 2015. The models depicting averaged (circular rather than elliptical) orbit relationships are astonishingly accurate … and simple! Enjoy! :-)

Spiral shell sculptures

Sculptor, fellow artist, geometer and student of metaphysics, Stefán Geir Karlsson recently sent me some interesting conceptual images and commentary about making some really large spiral shell sculptures. His virtual vortices would be fun to explore as full size realized art forms. I’ve long had similar ideas for making huge models of polyhedra with mirrored interiors that we could walk inside, see the labyrinthine reflections and hear the equally fractal echoes; all metaphors of our projections mirrored back to us! :-) Colleague Sara Frucht of Berkeley, Calif. has some excellent smaller models she calls ‘Kaleidoscapes‘ with wonderful interior mirror reflections.

LA Talk Radio Interview with Dave Cohen

by

Dave Cohen - Good Vibration Station-LA talk Radio

Hermetic Laws (such as Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause&Effect, Gender), Geometric symbolism, the Great Pyramid, intrinsic Oneness reflected in the principle of interconnectedness, UFOs, Atlantis, holographic projections, Fibonacci spirals, the Golden Ratio in nature, modern physics, architectural acoustics, flying, resonant toning, geological dating, Chambered Nautilus shells, galactic spirals, and DNA helices were just few of the topics we touched on in this initial interview – more to follow – with the exuberant Dave Cohen on his “Good Vibration Station” radio show on LA Talk Radio. We’ll just have to talk about Plato’s allegory of the cave (and his famous solids) … plus many other subjects in greater detail on a subsequent show – which we intended to get to, but ran out of time! BTW, I mentioned Dave’s very cool sacred geometry inspired shirts on a prior FaceBook post, but his elegant designs deserve mention here again.

Sacred Geometry interview with CA Brooks

by

C. A. Brooks

CA Brooks, who hosts the “Simple Tales” show on 12Radio, interviewed me on August 26, 2014. We talked about the origins and history of sacred geometry in art, architecture and nature, the 5 Platonic Solids, dimensions, volcanos, symbols, the Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt, the seven Hermetic Laws of antiquity, golden rectangles, golden triangles, spirals, the vesica piscis, and much more. This show was evidently selected as the “Producer’s Choice of the Week”; what fun! Enjoy! :-)

I also was on CA’s other show (about A Course In Miracles) on Aug. 22, 2014; more details and the audio archive for that interview here.
