a thing in 57 photos sacred geometry Listened to Manly Hall's lecture on the Warrior's Path (Tarot cards and the Tree of Life) Met Meredith at the Museum of Mathematics (and alliteration) Fits right in! Spent the day watching Nassim Haramein videos on unified physics. (Shown here talking about Buckminster Fuller's Vector Equilibrium & Isotropic Vector Matrix ) Talks about how the Tree of Life is two 3d components put together. Out of two becomes three. Spent the afternoon playing around my ruler and compass learning about how two overlapping circles (two) allows you to draw a perfect equilateral triangle in the resulting vesica pisces . More dewdlin. Spent the evening drawing. Doing my best to figure out how to reproduce this neato design with ruler and compass. Spent Friday morning reading a book on sacred geometry and using a compass and square to draw a pentagon. It's something that looks so simple, but it's WAY MORE COMPLICATED that you'd ever imagine. Putting the phi in five. Cool geometry art all over it. Ta-da! All finished! Came out decent! First 4 of 19 circles! Isotropic Vector Matrix Oh, you know. Egyptology and vector equilibrium videos all night, errrnight. Washed down the cheesy excellence with some mind-bending math talks from Michael Schneider, author of the wonderful book, A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe ...and assembling the five platonic solids ! You know, listening to podcasts... ...and see where the vertices lead you! Fun to just keep adding sticks to the balls... Fun to have a way to take my 2D drawings and try to figure out the 3-dimensional objects they are projections of! The Flower of Life is a lot more than a neato design. It hints at the underlying structure of Plank space ! ...is a hypercube. A tesseract... Very cool modeling kit that lets you make all sorts of crystalline structures that appear in nature. And a giant set of ZomeTools. Got some fun geometry toys. Fractiles magnets... Did you know that the diatonic Western music scale comes from fractions ? Ice crystal! Orthographic projection of a tesseract (hyper-cube) Spent Sunday morning watching geometry videos... ...and drawing some of my faves. ...playing around with a ruler and compass. Exploring how to make triskelions Spent Sunday recovering from Saturday. Pretty Queen Anne's Lace I snapped... Very cool book about how numbers and geometry are expressed in nature. Spent the rest of the evening sketching along with some of the examples... ...and doodling. This book, A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe: Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art, and Science , IS AWESOME!
This was also the first time I'd ever seen Romanesco. I was super into learning about Mandelbroit and fractal, self-similar shapes in nature. My mind was totally blown. I couldn't stop looking at it. Lovely. I looked up and couldn't help but notice a similarity to the Metatron's Cube I made in string a few days prior . Later that afternoon, I listened to a binaural beat audio recording that is supposed to help you drop your awareness from your mind, down near your heart, the spot known as anahata . Close-up of all the overlapping strings. Ta-da! Metatron's Cube . ...and decided to enhance the flower of life pattern I'd drawn.... Later that evening, I got inspired with my recent purchase of a compass and decided to create a flower of life mural on my living room wall. Awesome flower of life stencil I saw on my walk over to the... VIDEO
