The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation - front cover artwork

The Geometry Code book is ALMOST ready! Hooray!

You will be able to order the book from Amazon (VERY soon!)
You will be able to order the Kindle (digital download) almost as soon!

Here’s the ‘back story’: About the time that I was finishing Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook, I was already working on another book, which is now almost ready! Rather than reinvent the wheel, I think the Preface I wrote explains how the book came about, and gives a hint as to what it is about. I’ll upload the Table of Contents soon, too. A little ‘trivia aside’:
The Kybalion, a book about the seven Hermetic Laws, and one of the primary inspirations for this book, arrived a century ago in 1912 (at least that’s date in a copy of the book we have), so it just worked out that this book celebrates The Kybalion’s centennial anniversary! You can read the (relatively short) entire Kybalion book online here or download as a pdf here. Ever since I first read it, it seemed like it needed more examples, and depth and breadth with contemporary insights, so The Geometry Code book is my response to that idea. :-)

Chrome Zometool earrings-jewelry

“Chrome Zome” jewelry still available … for Mother’s Day (or any occasion)!

Zometool Jewelry — featuring elegant chrome-plated Zome hubs — is STILL available … and ONLY here. Nancy (our resident jeweler) can make these earrings with the bottom (Swarovski 6mm) crystal in a variety of colors in addition to the pink (rose) and jet black varieties shown here, including clear, aqua, blue, light blue, midnight blue, teal, green, purple, amethyst purple, and other colors and variations. Each earring features the unique Zometool hub (12 pentagonal holes, 20 triangular holes and 30 golden rectangle holes) with a metallic chrome finish. Chains and earring hooks will vary with styles. … (read more…)

Playful Geometer’s Cosmic SpaceCrafts is a line of arts and crafts integrating Sacred Geometry into their 3D models.
Here are more examples of Playful Geometer’s artistry and a sample image:Great Stellated Dodecahedron - Playful Geometer

Thanks to András, who alerted me (some months ago) to this interesting video of how triangular bits can drill square holes. Scroll down this page about the Reuleaux triangle to see a neat animation (The Reuleaux triangle rotating inside a square) showing a similar technique; note that the center of the bit must be offset from the center of the triangle for this to work.

I think I might have already (in prior bulletins) talked about Magnus Wenninger’s polyhedra and polytope models, but if you haven’t already seen this cornucopia of great models, it’s worth a look-see.

Wikipedia is such a great resource for all sorts of factual information about geometry, symbolism and more. Here are some example references (thanks to Alan Michelson):
Golden rectangle,
Truncated icosidodecahedron,
Truncated cuboctahedron,
Rhombicosidodecahedron,
Rhombicuboctahedron,
and, of course, there are gazillions more, even just perusing polyhedra in our provincial little 3-dimensional realm. :-)

Nested Platonics cutaway using ZomeTool

Another example of using Zometool components to make the models in SGDS.

This is another image from the backlog of photos of how Zometool is a great complement to, and ideal model building system for the designs in Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook. This image is a cutaway – mostly because I ran out of parts for this elaborate model :-) static version of this animation of the Nested Platonics Recursion, which is, as far as I know, the tightest packing of a recursive nest of the five Platonic Solids.

Here is a neat video of six rotations of a transparent tesseract. A tesseract (a.k.a. hypercube) is a 4-dimensional cube. I like to imagine that a 4-dimensional object casts a 3-dimensional shadow, just as a 3-dimensional object casts a 2-dimensional shadow. It’s still a bit boggling to grok, as our belief system only encompasses 3-dimensional dreams, so stretching our mental hologram to a 4-dimensional is usually met with resistance and confusion; how could we have another experience with such a finite premise! :-)

Speaking of backlogs, I have a goodly number of cool links to online videos, articles and more; so I ask for your patience, please. I’ll have lots more in the February edition. I’ve caught up on other projects this month. LOTS of great updates in store! :-)

Spiral Beads Cards

…Here are some other sacred geometry designs available as calendars, shirts, posters, note cards and more, such as these Spiral Beads Cards.

Zometool builds models from SGDS

by

Zometool Cat SGDS page 212 GreatRhombicosidodecahedron (partial)Zometool, with the addition of green struts, can build many of the designs – both 2 and 3 dimensional – that appear in the pages of Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook (SGDS) and other 2D and 3D models. Now, more than ever, this superlative modeling system (which is also the coolest toy in the geometric Universe, in my opinion) is a fabulous complement to Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook.

Platonic Solids made with Zometool

The green struts allow for square root of 2 proportions relative to blue struts, which allow shapes like tetrahedra, octahedra, star tetrahedra, several more Archimedean Solids and MUCH more to be built. Amazing how adding another proportional system to the prior version seems to add many dimensions to the possibilities. (BTW, the feline model within the model is Cooper, our new kitten.)

Here are examples of some of Zometool models that appear in the pages of Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook. I’ll be adding to these as I go on, so look for announcements in the monthly bulletin about updates to this page. This example, from page 236, shows the 2-D projection of icosahedral and dodecahedral cross-sections, and the underlying golden rectangle and golden-ratio-based geometric proportions.
