Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO 80222 I will share LOTS of visual multimedia imagery, animation and more, along with plenty of theory on the mystical underpinnings of sacred geometry, the seven ancient Hermetic laws of truth, take-home lessons from modern physics, and how the non-dual metaphysics of inclusion, kindness and forgiving our self-judgments is key to sustainable happiness! :-) There will be a book-signing after the class; both of my books, Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook and The Geometry Code, are available from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore.

$infinity silverware set (fractal fork, spoon and knife)$
Thanks to András N., who alerted me this
article on “Impractical Fractals? Mathematics-Inspired Silverware Set”.
Such shiny self-similar silverware (say that 6 times fast :-) is well described within the article:

The Infinity Set includes: “Cantor fork: now you can pin a single kiwi seed. Twice in a row. Recursive spoon: it will never let you spill a drop of soup. Ever. Koch knife: to delicately cut hair-thin slices out of an egg. A raw egg. The Infinity Set: the set includes itself. As a subset.”

Speaking of fractals, here’s a neat list of fractals (by Hausdorff dimension) from Wikipedia.

… and if you want to play around with fractals interactively, here’s a very cool online app by Toby Schachman… Try it out!
Thanks to Jonathan Nathaniel Bean for alerting me to this site!

Zazzle 7th birthday specials end today

Gallery: Martineau Solar System: Venus And Mars Per Martineau
Today is the last day of Zazzle.com’s 7th birthday specials, so if you’d like a good deal on shirts, prints, framed prints, wrapped canvas and other items, including sacred geometric images from the Martineau Solar System series or other sacred geometry themes, now is the time! Use code “BDAYALLDEALZ”.

I infrequently participate in these cross-promotions, but the concept of this book sounds useful; I think it’s very helpful to honestly assess how our examined unconscious beliefs sabotage our peace of mind. Along these lines, the first chapter of my new book The Geometry Code is just one of many free gifts that are part of this promotion, so you might want to check it out! Sara Blumenfeld (who is interviewing me tomorrow) is one of the many participants and her gifts among the many offered.

Book cross-promotion: Deliberate Creation Starts Today!

Have you wondered if it really is possible to be totally in love with your existence, experience well-being consistently, and live an inspired life? Are you ready to deliberately create the life you desire?
Healing Arts Practitioner Gina Castellano had so much success creating the life of her dreams that she put her best processes together in the guided journal, The Journey to Your Dream, to help YOU discover and create your best life now. And when you purchase today you also get great thank you gifts from people like me that will further improve your life!
In The Journey to Your Dream, Gina points out that there are 3 unconscious habits that sabotage our success. We all have them to one degree or another and they undermine our efforts in subtle and profound ways. The processes in the journal take you beyond these habits so you can create at a really high level.
What I love about this journal is the simplicity of action that can lead to life-changing results. Often we fail to realize where we are stuck, or what we have “swept under the rug” or denied within ourselves. The processes gently uncover what is holding you back. This book gives you the tools to focus your thoughts and feelings to match whatever you desire and, by Law of Attraction, draw it to you.
Unlimited bliss and well-being are yours to experience! Today is the day to expand your horizons beyond what you have settled for before. Go right now to http://JourneyToYourDream.com, purchase the journal, and also get other gifts to enhance your journey, including a 4-week teleclass “Quantum Leaps in the Journey to Your Dream Process” ($195 value).
To your happiest dreams (that lead beyond dreams to gentle awakening :-),
Bruce
P.S. Go now to http://JourneyToYourDream.com. Forward this email to your friends and family members so they can enjoy this great one-day offer as well.

Thanks for your generous support for The Geometry Code book!

Many of you either bought a copy of The Geometry Code book on June 5th (the official ‘launch day’) or shortly thereafter. MUCH appreciated!!! When I catch up on some other projects, I’ll get a Kindle version going, too.

You can read all about The Geometry Code book, including an overview, the intended audience, and much more here.
If you are looking for a book that emphasizes the patterns and shapes (and briefly touches upon the metaphysics of interconnectedness) Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook is also available.

If you haven’t already seen them, these Dolphin play bubble rings are quite remarkable toroidal formations that dolphins make with air bubbles. The torus (donut shape) shows up in a remarkably wide array of primal geometric forms including magnetic fields. A recent inquiry about toroidal shapes and the upcoming Calif. presentations inspired looking up this remarkable video and sharing it again.

Hands-on sacred geometry workshop July 28, 2012 in Palo Alto, CA

Tuesday, 10 July 2012 by Bruce Rawles

I’m giving a day-long, hands-on* sacred geometry workshop on Saturday, July 28, 2012, from 10AM-4PM, at Integrated Healing Arts, 4153 El Camino Way, Palo Alto, CA (NOTE NEW VENUE!), sponsored by the Foundation for Mind-Being Research (FMBR). The workshop follows an introductory talk for FMBR the previous (Friday) evening Unity Community Church, in the Y.E.S. room, 3391 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA at 7:00 PM.) Cost is on a sliding scale from $25-$75 based on need. Pre-registration is required. There is always plenty of opportunity for individual Q&A, and exploring favorite geometries (and their metaphysical foundations) in an informal atmosphere. Please contact Bruce via GeometryCode.com to register. I’m always happy to phone or Skype with even more details. Please bring a geometer’s compass, straight-edge, scissors and cellophane tape; I will supply 2D and 3D handouts including platonic solid fold-up patterns, plus LOTS of visual multimedia imagery, animation and more, along with plenty of theory on the mystical underpinnings of sacred geometry! :-) To familiarize yourself with related material on the subject, you might want to explore titles in this collection: the GeometryCode Amazon aStore. Here is a full resolution printable flyer for the event.

Question from a form submission:

Q. I am a bit curious about geometry and was wondering if the workshop would be an appropriate place to learn more.
A. Definitely! I’ll be doing (and teaching) lots of hands-on demos of the classic Geometric constructions with compass and straightedge that folks like DaVinci, Plato, Pythagoras and more would likely have done, as well as LOTS of multimedia (books, animations, videos, stereograms, and more) demonstrating geometric principles that rarely (if ever) get covered in ordinary school curricula, blended with the mystical symbolism that the masters of both contemporary and ancient times revered and pondered. I have a flyer here that gives more examples and details, but feel free to ask me to cover specific topics since with a small group it’s easy to tailor it to the needs of those attending. Thanks for asking! :-) Please let me know ASAP if you’re interested and want to pre-register; also if you’d like an online class, let me know that too! :-)
