This is a beautiful book, a pleasure to read. Much lovely art. The only sacred geometry book my wife has picked up and read.

This is definitely the most accessible sacred geo book I own. Another 2 houseguests just picked it up and spent the week reading it.

There is a narrative here about how the world arises through the interplay of number, but it's light and really what's worthwhile here is just the images created by one of the modern masters in this field.

In fact let that be a lesson to all of you who would study this field-- narratives, discursive analysis, words, are all well and good but the core realizations come by doing. So seek inspiration here, but do something.

I am about halfway through. . .very interesting but it is difficult for me to follow since math is not my strong suit. . .this one will be a slower read for me so I am sure to grasp the concepts correctly. Recommend this for anyone who wants lot learn more about geometry, math and God

In the approachable tone it’s written, this book is an easy read, beautiful illustrations and fascinating topic but I still found it way above a layperson’s understanding, or at least mine. Will have to find something more 101 that I can follow and absorb
