Goldberg Polyhedron

After 400 years, mathematicians find a new class of solid shapes

This article explores Goldberg polyhedra: quasi-spherical polyhedra-like shapes (familiar to those who have explored geodesic domes, fullerenes, etc.) that add to the existing classes of Platonic, Archimedean and Kepler solids (which include rhombic polyhedra).

Solar System Geometries per Martineau - 2014 calendar

Astronomical Geometry Calendars for 2014

The images above are colorized versions of 12 of the exquisite images in John Martineau’s “Little Book of Coincidence”, depicting the exquisite planetary mathematics exhibited in the orbital relationships of our solar system’s planets from Mercury to Neptune. Martineau’s astonishingly accurate 3-D models of our solar system inspired the calendar above, freshly updated for 2014… Here’s where you can learn more and order a copy of this astronomically astounding calendar, with the price reduced from last year as well. There’s still about 5/6 of the year left. :-)

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.

OnTheAir-TruthFrequencyRadioNetwork

Here is a recent (recorded 30Dec2013) Online interview of Bruce Rawles by David Whitehead on his Truth Warrior program; we talked about sacred geometry, Hermetic laws, non-dual metaphysics; all the topics I enjoy sharing. :-)

Daily post updates

I recently added a way to quickly and easily subscribe to automated post updates to the GeometryCode.com website. Just enter your email below where it says the “Get GeometryCode.com post updates by email” on the upper right hand corner of any page, and click the “Subscribe” button. You’ll automatically get an email containing any new posts to GeometryCode.com made the previous day. Of course, if you prefer just getting one email a month, the bulletin you’re reading now (if you’re reading this in your email program) will still continue to provide that service.

Recent reviews of the book: The Geometry Code (now celebrating it’s first year in print)

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 one and all for your generous and continued support of the two versions from multiple countries, and to Gary Renard for the Foreward, and countless others for inspiration! I’ve had a number of kind reviews and endorsements. If you’d like to add yours, please send my way, and/or post on the Amazon review page here. You can find a free first chapter of the book (entitled “The Question of Identity: Two Thought Systems”) here.

Recent Radio/Webcast Interviews/Podcasts/Videos

I’ve been updating the Events page with upcoming, ongoing, and past radio and internet interviews, presentations, and more.
Among the recent past interviews I’ve participated in (with free audio archives online that you can listen to) are:

… and many more workshops, presentations, exhibits and more on the Events page.
I always enjoy talking about the non-dual Metaphysics, Psychology, Symbolism, Philosophy and more contained within the book “The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation” which is available here.

Hands-on sacred geometry workshop July 27, 2013 in Castle Rock, CO

by

Update 22Jun2013: This particular workshop is full, but there’s already 3 interested in another; if you are, too, please contact me with dates (preferably Saturdays) that might work for you. THANKS! :-)

I’m giving a day-long, hands-on* sacred geometry workshop from 10AM-4PM on Saturday, July 27, 2013, here at our home in Castle Rock, Colorado. We’re about 25-60 minutes south of Denver, depending on what part of the metropolitan area you might be driving from. Cost is on a sliding scale from $20-$80 based on need. Pre-registration is required, due to limited space around our dining room table! :-) Please contact Bruce via GeometryCode.com to register. I’ll be happy to phone or Skype with even more details. Please bring a geometer’s compass, straight-edge, scissors and cellophane tape; I will supply lots of 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! :-) I typically bring most of my extensive library on the subject out for everyone to peruse; you can see most of them (except some of the rare and obscure titles) on the GeometryCode Amazon aStore. Here is a printable flyer for the event.

one-day class/workshop/presentation on sacred geometry and non-dual metaphysics by Bruce Rawles on Saturday, July 27, 2013 in Castle Rock, Colorado

In memory of Russell Towle

by

DodecaDodecaTrio

I just learned of the passing of Russell Towle via this Pinterest page and an unexpected comment posted there by his sister, Shellie. Here’s a comment I added to that page:

Hi Shellie: Thanks for letting me know; I didn’t know… Feel free to post the following: Russell was a brilliant mathematician and a generous soul… I spent a day with him at his cabin in Dutch Flat about a decade ago, after admiring his online work for many years in the realm of higher dimensional polytopes. His geometrical models and animations were amazing and he was kind enough to let me use them in numerous presentations where I showed how they represented a continuity and order in dimensions beyond our familiar three. He also gave me several POVray and Mathematica models to experiment with, including the one that I modified slightly to make the DodecaDodeca Trio image on this page. I have some of his animations on this page. (The first entry under … higher dimensional polytopes; evidently only the last link, his amazing animations, still works). Russell also showed me some fun 3D models of the American River Canyon after we took a short trek to a vista point overlooking the same. I hope someone is able to take the work he did (probably on this computer hard drives) and pass it along to some of the other pioneers who understand and appreciate the math he was exploring.
