Sacred Geometry

Summary

"Sacred Geometry" reveals the interconnectedness of mathematics, religious beliefs, and architectural design through the lens of geometric forms. It explores how concepts like the Golden Ratio and Platonic solids manifest in sacred spaces, acting as a symbolic language that conveys profound meaning. By examining how ancient civilizations integrated these principles into their architecture, we gain insights into their cosmologies and spiritual practices. 

 
The book uniquely bridges the gap between the material and spiritual realms, presenting evidence from architectural surveys, historical texts, and mathematical treatises. It avoids esoteric speculation, focusing instead on observable evidence. For instance, the book might discuss how specific tessellations were deliberately incorporated into religious architecture to evoke certain emotional responses.

 
The book is structured to progressively build the reader's understanding, beginning with foundational principles and historical development. It then explores examples of sacred geometry in different cultures and religious traditions, before delving into the symbolic use of geometric forms in art and mythology. Finally, it culminates by exploring the practical applications of sacred geometry in contemporary design and spiritual practices.

Freedom's Edge - A true story of...

Victoria Ginn

"AFGHANISTAN: ...a landlocked country enclosed by a stupendously wild geography, centrally positioned between the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Central Asia, and the Far East... Coined the 'roundabout civilization' Afghanistan has been the centre of empires... and for the reception and diffusion of religious and artistic forms all over Asia; from ancient Mother Goddess cults of the Upper Palaeolithic through to Classical, Buddhist, Hindu, and the present Islamic period. It was here that the Vedas were composed; where Buddhism knew its greatest flowering; and where legend speaks of a...concentration of 'knowledge' or 'mystery'...held within this land and its peoples..."  
The year is 1978.  
A rebel, artist, and explorer (in all senses of the word) at the beginning of 23 year old Victoria's journey into Afghanistan in February of 1978, the country - a breath-taking array of mountains, valleys, deserts, and home to a mix of cultures, religions and peoples that traced their origins to some 50,000 years BC - was a mecca for travellers of every ilk. Ruled by the dictator, Mohammed Daoud Khan, the Country was seemingly at peace and prospering.  
Had Daoud upheld the maxim of his exiled cousin, King Zahir Shah (and that of predecessors) of 'the right to freedom and dignity for every individual ', two hundred years of Afghanistan's internal peace might have continued, and Afghanistan retained its position as one of the world's MUST VISIT cultural and world-wonder destinations to this day. As it was, the Dictator suppressed democratic freedoms, while playing dice with two ambitious Superpowers - the USSR and USA - eager to find a chink in Afghanistan's armour.  
Arguably the only Western witness to the USSR's manipulation of a populace (via the SAUR Revolution) and subsequent 'theft by stealth' of Afghanistan - which subsequently led to the prolonged war and decimation of one of the world's most extraordinary countries.

Circumstances Affecting the Heat...

Amanda Quaid

You may not know her name, but Eunice Newton Foote made groundbreaking discoveries about the greenhouse effect in the 1850s. Her experiments showed that different gases, including carbon dioxide, absorb and trap heat, an early milestone in the history of climate science. And even though her findings were published in a leading scientific journal – a rarity in the days of a male-dominated field – her work remained virtually unknown until recently. Now, thanks to playwright Amanda Quaid, we have a dramatized portrait of the scientist’s life at the time she published her pioneering study, which lends its name to the title of the play.

This play is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series of science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.

741 Hz Consciousness...

Natural Harmonics

Purify your consciousness during sleep with this extended session featuring the 741 Hz solfeggio frequency traditionally associated with mental clarity expression and the dissolution of electromagnetic interference from daily life. This frequency sits at the heart of the ancient solfeggio scale and has been used for centuries in contemplative traditions to clear the mind of clutter confusion and accumulated psychic residue.
 

 
The pure 741 Hz tone is layered with gentle harmonic overtones and subtle complementary frequencies that create a rich listening experience far beyond a simple sine wave. The layered approach ensures that the core frequency remains prominent while additional tonal textures provide depth and warmth across the full duration.
 

 
As you sleep this frequency works to clear energetic blockages in the throat and third eye regions promoting clearer thinking sharper intuition and more authentic self-expression upon waking. The audio maintains perfect consistency throughout with no jarring transitions or volume changes. Ten hours of continuous frequency immersion designed for overnight use with speakers or comfortable headphones.
