Mutation game – prototype

Inventor Mark White recently sent me a prototype – check out his KickStarter campaign – for his very cool new “Mutation” game which allows 4 white and 4 black ‘knobs’ to traverse the edges of a colorful dodecahedron. You get an intuitive and kinesthetic sense of the shape and its topology by traversing the edges and it has a good ‘feel’ in your hand. The goal of one of many possible games is to be the first to make your 4 knobs (white or black) into a tetrahedral pattern. Here’s a bright youngster at a recent science event I participated in playing with the proto.

More fun with Zometool

At the aforementioned educational event (the Castle Rock, Colorado library “Full STEAM Ahead program” Science-Technology-Engineering-Arts-Mathematics) last weekend, I set up a demo showing a recursive video animation I did of the nested Platonic solids on my laptop … along with a 3d model made from ZomeTool which some of the young event participants helped me to add to, making a sort of quasi-partially-truncated inner-stellation (nowhere near mathematically correct jargon, but you kinda get the idea :-) of a cube with green and blue struts which enclosed the outermost octahedron. Fun! :-)

Kindle edition of The Geometry Code turned 2 yesterday

Amazing that it’s already been a couple of years since I released the Kindle edition of the book: The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation … You can read more about this geometric/Hermetic/metaphysical romp here, and download the first chapter for free here. The ‘tree-ware’ version has been around even longer for those that enjoy a ‘real book’ to curl up with.

(3) Request for Submissions

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.
