Fractal Geometry

Uncommon Awareness radio interview with Dr. Lorraine Hurley

Sunday, 12 May 2013 by Bruce Rawles

I just uploaded audio archives (recorded May 6,2013) of an interview about with Dr. Lorraine Hurley, MD. on her “Uncommon Awareness” show here: Interview part 1 Interview part 2 … We had great fun exploring lots of favorite topics; here’s her synopsis: “Exploring the foundations of nature and sacred geometry, author Bruce Rawles will help us begin to explore the patterns and the resonance frequencies that surround us. Sacred geometry brings the wonder of the universe to us in patterns that are awe-inspiring.” Enjoy! :-)

GeometryCode bulletin for February 2013

Thursday, 28 February 2013 by Bruce Rawles

(1) News, Events, Interviews, Workshops, Classes, Exhibits, Products, Articles, Tutorials

(2) Websites, Books, Videos, Imagery, Music and Quotes

A handful of new websites and pages of interest to sacred geometry enthusiasts:

An excellent Pinterest page by John Lloyd with hundreds of interesting geometric images. The top image for this bulletin – a study of Fibonacci approximations to a logarithmic spiral using 20 equal divisions of a circle, by Keith Critchlow – is from John’s Pinterest page.
Polygonal Art in Web Design offers numerous examples of polygons in the art of the web. Speaking of web design, we highly recommend Intent Design Studio – that would be us! :-) for WordPress web design (using customized versions of the professional, superbly crafted StudioPress Genesis themes) and geometric logos and illustrations.
Disclose.tv offers a video “Pythagoras, Sacred Geometry and the Holographic Universe” asking questions about ancient origins of Pythagoras’ ideas and more; complete with a bit of Donald Duck in Mathemagic Land as well as our Egypt tour guide (20 years ago last November!), Gregg Braden who demonstrates Hans Jenny’s Cymatics. If you haven’t already seen them, check out these higher resolution Cymatic images made possible by the Cymascope
Samuel Kiwasz sells lovely sacred geometric pendants as well as violet glass bottles. I had the pleasure of meeting Samuel at a sound healing conference where I gave a sacred geometry presentation in 2008.
The recently updated Martineau Solar System page now has a new gallery/slideshow at the top of the page. You can now click on thumbnails for a larger view, or a large image for the next slide in slideshow mode. It’s amazing how accurate these simple geometric models are in depicting the proportions of the average orbital distances of the planets in our solar system.

Recent reviews of the book: The Geometry Code

Thanks to Susan Dugan, Mike Lemieux, and Marianne O’Sheeran for their recent, kind reviews of The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation. Yet another fellow author, Jonathan Joshua, wrote the first review – Thanks, Jonathan! – last year. Huge thanks also to Gary Renard, Cindy-Lora Renard and Roberta Grace for adding The Geometry Code book (with a Foreward by Gary) to the “Gary recommends” book list on Gary’s website.
The Kindle version of the book became available last September. Many thanks to all who have encouraged me to complete it, and all your support … so very appreciated! :-) BTW, if you prefer a ‘treeware’ (paperback) version, you can order it here. Here are abundant details about the book.
BTW, even if you don’t have a Kindle, there are lots of other platforms you can read the Kindle version (or any Kindle book) on, including smartphones such as iPhone and iTouch, Android, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry, Windows and Macintosh computers, and tablets like iPad and Android tablet. Enjoy! :-)

Thanks to Ajeet Campbell for this image from his FaceBook page of a mirrored pentagram grid, similar to others in Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook, pages 74-82. … Also, a mirrored pentagram defines the plan of the Osirion temple at Abydos, Egypt (better known as location where the Flower of Life pattern was found) as detailed on page 61 of Robert Lawlor’s classic book on sacred geometry: “Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice“.

More News, Events, Interviews, Workshops, Classes, Exhibits, Products, Articles, Tutorials to follow in future bulletins … stay tuned! :-)

(2) Websites, Books, Videos, Imagery, Music and Quotes

A handful of new websites and pages of interest to sacred geometry enthusiasts:

Here’s a nice collection of books, art, fractals and other sacred geometry imagery, including my 2nd book and the LightSOURCE screensaver. There are many more sacred geometry titles and products here.
Here’s a neat geometric design for a sink … and a great metaphor for how our ‘chambered’ existence spirals toward oblivion, while what we really are – sans mental walls and divisions – is already and always fully complete, whole and in need of nothing…”
Helix to Hologram, an article by colleague Iona Miller, covers some interesting ideas about DNA helices and much more, complete with useful related references.
Kelly Dietrich – Mandalas and Fractal Art has some neat imagery.
Kinda cool department: “Absolutely Stunning 3-D View of a Cosmic Cloud”.
the recently updated GeometryCode.com Affiliates page has a wide variety of interesting products and services related to sacred geometry, interconnectedness and way beyond! :-)

Sacred Geometry bulletin for December 2012:

(1) News, Events, Interviews, Workshops, Classes, Exhibits, Products, Articles, Tutorials

(2) Websites, Books, Videos, Imagery, Music and Quotes

A handful of new websites of interest to sacred geometry enthusiasts:

A fun Sacred Geometry gallery on Pinterest
Unbelievably talented (grin!) “Walkin’ in a Winter Wonderland?”Artist Creates Gigantic Winter Crop Circles Just by Walking in the Snow!
Art of sacred geometry – geometric artwork and designs by Shipibo women from the upper Amazon in Peru
The Striking Kaleidoscopic Patterns of European Cathedral Ceilings
A neat “Fibonacci Fact” equation involving any 4 adjacent Fibonacci numbers
… and more from We Love Maths

and last but not least, scroll down this page a bit to watch an

interesting video exploration of ‘kite geometries’ by Frank Chester showing a 7-sided polyhedron with equal face areas and other fun shapes.
I particularly like his construction showing a smaller nested tetrahedron within an larger one, filled in with 4 other ‘kite polyhedra’ that complete the space-filling form. (Thanks to Luke G. and Michael H. for alerting me to this.)

Is the universe a humungous virtual simulation?

A friend alerted me to a very interesting article that appeared in Yahoo News this week entitled “Whoa: Physicists testing to see if universe is a computer simulation”. I say, full speed ahead instead of whoa, though! :-) Here is a comment I posted to my personal FaceBook page in response a few days ago: Uh-oh, they’re going to trace the simulation back to my mind… Where do I pull the plug? :-) It will be interesting to see where this scientific experiment leads. This inquiry probes deep into the heart of the pivotal ‘ghost in the machine’ question that revolutionary discoveries in quantum physics such as the Copenhagen interpretation guided the scientific world – perhaps kicking and screaming? – into. So… Are we a body/brain with an optional ‘mind upgrade’ … or are we all a singular Mind that is dreaming of separate ephemeral bodies and their (mis)adventures in an equally ephemeral universe? :-)
