Jay Goldner, who did a superb job of
translating my Sacred Geometry Design
Sourcebook into its German Edition
(Mandalas der Heiligen
Geometrie, published by
Silbershnur
Verlag)
and also author of Messages from Space: Crop Circles
Bring the First Indisputable Extra-Terrestrial
Signs from Space, just sent me an email letting
me know that his superb crop formation exhibit
(which was open to the public in Switzerland and
Austria) has recently been shown in
Seoul, South
Korea. Here's another update from Jay with
some lovely patterns – not to worry if your German
fluency is minimal (like mine) since the patterns
communicate directly; a perfect example of how
symbols which approach ideal mirrors of the
principle and awareness of oneness tend to
transcend language barriers... Music is another
example, particularly music that exemplifies
heartfelt compassion, kindness and quantum
forgiveness!

Interview with David Gibson on BBSRadio.com

On Saturday, February
23, 2008 at 5PM Pacific Time, I will be the guest
on David Gibson's show on BBSRadio... I hope you can
listen in!
David was the host and organizer of a wonderful conference last month that I was honored to give a presentation at ... The Globe Sound Healing Conference (There will be another in San Francisco in May 2008)... It was a marvelous experience where I got to meet lots of interesting friends and connect with many kindred souls such as: Randy Masters (a brilliant synthesizer of ancient and contemporary insights about sound - his workshop was great fun; his vesica delta bipyramid fold-up is featured on page 221 of my Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook), Elizabeth Upton (a bright and enthusiastic videographer working on a documentary on sacred geometry), Judy Cole of Healing Partnerships (who won my 2007 contest - see the Feb 1 2008 post), Gary Schwartz, PhD (doing fascinating energy healing research), Mandara Cromwell (working with friend Jeff Volk bringing Hans Jenny's Cymatics work forward,) Rick Henderson (who created some superb 3D polyhedra visuals in real time for the evening concerts using Zuma software and his own MIDI setup), a pioneer in neuro-acoustic research Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Barbara Hero (creator of the Lambdoma keyboard), Dr. Fred Bell (amazing inventor), John Gil (an architect incorporating sacred geometry) and Don Estes to name just a few.

Galaxy Song from Monty Python's Meaning of Life
Thanks to Nancy (and
Eric Idle) for reminding me of this amusing tune
( The Galaxy Song
from
Monty Python's Meaning of
Life)
that puts our little human dramas (and obsession
with identification with space, time and duality)
into perspective! 
Blueberry Stars

This was such a great question, I thought it would
make a perfect blog post du jour!

Hi Bruce ...What does the star mean in sacred geometry?
This might depend somewhat on the specific geometry involved... In particular, are we talking about 5 or 6 (or some other number) of points on the star? Hexagonal (6-fold) stars (a.k.a. hexagrams) relate to the Flower of Life, Seed of Life, Fruit of Life, 2D matrix which occurs in a myriad of forms in the various kingdoms of the natural world (basalt column cross-sections in the mineral kingdom, cloverleaf and cellular structures in the plant kingdom, honeycomb in the animal kingdom, etc. just to name a few.
I am wondering if you have any idea what the star on the bottom of each blueberry would mean?
A little gem I learned from Michael Schneider is that the blossom of every edible fruit has 5-sided (pentagonal) geometry. The five-pointed star (pentagram) was the symbol allegedly drawn on the hands of the Pythagorean initiates (perhaps because the notion of interconnectedness leading to the awareness of all-encompassing oneness is just as "threatening" now as it was to the predominant culture then There is also a wealth of other
examples in my book:
as well as quite a few on the tutorial on my website (I imagine you've already read that?)
and the links on the resources page:
I am doing food research and it seems like the star would mean something. Doesn’t it look like a star at the bottom of a blueberry?
You got it! It is indeed the guiding archetype for this form, as well as so many others in nature!

Hayley Westenra Songs
WOW! Each time I listen
to Hayley Westenra (who grew up in Christschurch, New
Zealand - a lovely place) sing "Prayer" and "May It Be"
I'm moved to tears
of joy; not much music does that for me! ... and
that's listening online via Pandora.com ... I can
only imagine what hearing these songs in concert
would be like! What a gift her music is! This is
what I would call "spiritual calling us all home"
music.
Shemah - The Calling by Ani Williams
Shemah - The Calling
by
Ani Williams is quite lovely harp music from
a great performer; I've enjoyed her live
performances immensely at two conferences I've
attended (the Global Sacred Geometry Conference in
Sedona in 2004) and one of Chet Snow's "Signs of
Destiny" (crop formations) conferences a year or
two before that.
"Falling Slowly" song from the movie "Once"
"Once" is a sweet (and funny) movie,
and the song "Falling Slowly" (featuring the stars
of the film - Czech Republic-born Markéta
Irglová and Frames frontman Glen Hansard)
is a gem! My wife
& I are both humming the catchy tune quite a
bit this week after enjoying the movie last
weekend via Netflix. Other good tunes on the film,
too.
GeometryCode 2007 Contest Winner!

Congratulations to Judy
Cole of Healing
Partnerships (http://www.healingpartnerships.com/)
for winning our GeometryCode.com
2007 contest! Judy
submitted a copy of her exquisite Lissajous
oscilloscope patterns "Healix - The Music of the
Spheres: Mirror One version 2) DVD and says she
was inspired by Sacred Geometry Design
Sourcebook. Judy wins a copy of the
GeometryCode screensaver and
eBooklet.
Thanks, Judy!
Here's a static image of some of her engaging animation:
I have fond memories of staying after hours in my high school electronics lab in Livermore, California, hooking up every oscillator in the lab to the horizontal and vertical inputs of a 'scope and creating endless variations of patterns like these. Judy uses interesting (close to Phi-based) harmonic ratios and elegant transitions to show how many of the complex patterns we're familiar with are simply the communion of number within the mirage of space time.
