| Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook by Bruce Rawles "Dedicated with love to my wife, Nancy 'Alese', whose passionate heart reminds me that all answers may be found at home. I give thanks to my mother Barbara Rawles, who continues to be a guiding star for me with her quest to foster awareness of the unifying principles which relate us all so profoundly, to my father, Donald Rawles, who shared with me his appreciation for they beauty of nature's mysteries (including math!), and to Gregg Braden,Drunvalo Melchizedek , Keith Critchlow, Floyd Edwards, Eric Weisstein and countless other friends and mentors, seen and useen, who have inspired me to follow my creative muse, focus on the joy of the fire within and to see each moment as a living symbol of our inner world, helping us to venture beyond the 'we/they' paradigm." Introduction to Sacred Geometry (Quoted from page 4) Sacred Geometry builds an essential bridge between the left-brain, rational sciences such as math, physics, biology, chemistry, genetics, astronomy, economics, and the right-brain intuitive fields of inquiry like numerology, metaphysics, psychology, alchemy, philosophy, astrology and ecology. It is the awareness and fostering of these connections between spirit and soul, between function and meaning, between form and intention, that enables us to appreciate and more deeply care for ourselves, each other, our Universe and everything in it, from the tiniest atoms to the most expansive galaxies and everything in between. The 'sacredness' of geometry lies in the relatedness we share, the interconnection of any structure we can imagine to any other through the common thread of the tapestry of life in countless variations on recurring geometric themes. These reccurring geometries reflect an essential foundation which is both masterpiece of function and a miracle of cosmic intention, possesing both the consummate pinnacle of efficient utility and exquisite beauty, grace and elegance. Every perspective at each moment of our lives expresses these geometries in some way, if we allow these patterns to reveal their presence and impart their wisdom to us through symbol, number, and form. The molecules of our DNA, the air we breath, the food we eat, the homes we live in, the planet we walk upon, the star we spin around and the galaxy we spiral within are all inextricably linked to the language of pattern and the grammar of geometry. Our very existence is inseparably meshed within the matrix of the infinite...recognizing the endless examples in form, pattern and design which symbolize this connection serves to restore a sense of purpose to our individual and collective identity. My experience leads me to suggest that we are all here in this extraordinary era to feel the unconditional acceptance of the many dimensions of who and what we really are. Every where we turn, our world provides us with gifts to see more deeply the grand architecture and loving hand of creation. Our challenge is to hold that vision. Purpose of This Book (Quoted from pages 4 and 5) The purpose of this book is to offer a toolkit for building bridges of meaning, context and relationship between the underlying cosmic blueprints and all things of our material world through the fun of exploring, envisioning and experimenting. The patterns in this book are examples of an omnipresent order,everywhere manifest around us. Creative play with designs such as these links us to this order andprovides us with a deeper context with wich to perceive the symbols and forms all around us. Delving into these images, and others these may lead you to explore, may be akin to learning to savor the spices and unique nuances in the recipes of our lives. My intent is to enhance the perceptual context of your own creative fields of endeavor and bring together elements, which, when combined, result in the optimal alchemy for understanding. I have purposely left out a lot of personal interpretations with the idea that the images may speak to you directly without limiting their scope or potential. There are a number of excellent works which make more extensive suggestions in the area of interpretation; these are listed in the bibliography. The next section will discuss a few concepts and principles that I offer as a general grammar for the recurring themes to which you may want to add your own unique interpretations...or just use the images without having to ascribe any particular meaning to them as you wish. I anticipate that thier language will reach you in either case, as it has spoken to people through the ages and around the world... and no doubt on many other worlds beyond this one as well! We at Nature's Tapestry are glad to offer this incredible "coloring book" on our website because we have already recommended this book many times; to hundreds of our past students.
