Mentally challenging
I like this book, it's not a quick read if you truly want to understand all the different angles and dynamics.

solid evidence of a grand cosmic scheme
Not for the casual reader nor the lethargically minded, this milestone book is reserved for those whose inclinations tend toward genuine inquiry aided by perseverance of study and attention to detail. I do not recommend it for neophytes in the subject of sacred geometry. Some background is necessary to begin to understand the importance of its contribution in the field. Combining geometry, ancient history, astronomy, megalithic constructions and architecture, music, metrology (the scientific study of measurement), religion, and the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff, this is likely Heath’s magnum opus, and it deserves to be digested slowly and carefully. This is not a bedtime book, and it can only be appreciated after serious cogitation.Even a partial understanding of the principles delineated by our author will give rise in the reader to a genuine sense of awe and to a growing perception of the non-haphazard nature of reality. Recognizing the solid evidence presented here of a grand cosmic scheme can be the only result for those undertaking the task of carefully considering what is contained in the pages of this exquisitely printed and illustrated book.Heath begins in his Preface by giving us a glimpse of what he will be detailing by stating that the design of the cosmos is not random or accidental but the direct result of a higher mind---a Creator who has willed reality as we know it into space and time not as a static construction but as a work in progress to be realized and known by that Creator and by its representatives, both angelic and human.Our author emphasizes that the next stage of humanity’s development requires the discovery that our planetary world is an artifact of higher intelligence, and he supports that premise by illustrating that “sacred building over the last five to seven thousand years often referenced a small set of highly specific designs, and these appear to be cosmic prototypes for the creation of life on Earth. This suggests that numbers and geometries are the primary medium for the Universal Will….Laws enabled there to be stars and planets, but it was special ‘sacred’ numbers that created the cosmic conditions for life.” And it is the in-depth study of such numbers and number ratios that occupies the bulk of the text and the beautiful full-color photos and diagrams that accompany it.Heath investigates meaningful alignments of the Sun, Moon, and inner planets of our solar system by taking us to archaic monuments around the globe which echo those relationships. “Ancient sites, and the iconographic and textural works of the ancient world, can now be reinterpreted by recovering the ancient system of measures used, deducing why geometrical forms were employed, and understanding their well-developed musical tuning theory.”We travel to constructions that have or had religious connotations or ritual purposes, and we must assume that the work of building them was done to reveal how the Earth and its cosmic environs have been finely tuned. These include locations such as megalithic monuments of Brittany and south Britain, temples of ancient Greece and Rome, pyramids of Egypt, artifacts of the Aztecs and the Olmecs, French Gothic Cathedrals, the Kaaba in Mecca, Jerusalem’s Dome of the Rock, Tibetan mandalas, and certain classical European art.We see, for instance, that the Parthenon of Athens is a musical instrument model of the Moon and the inner planets and that the original layout of Jerusalem maps both the visible giants as well as the inner, smaller planets of our solar system. And, always in mind is the alchemical doctrine “As above, so below”, Earth melds with sky, and the complimentary and harmonious unity of microcosm and macrocosm.Of course, meaningful whole numbers like 33, irrational numbers like √2, and ratios between numbers like π (pi) and Φ (phi) keep appearing, and we see a correspondence between whole digits of lunar months and the ancient elements of earth, water, air, and fire. Heath calls this “systematics in the sky”, what he says is the language of angels found in many ancient monuments that represents a great Being in the sky governed by numbers of days, months, and years.Our author concludes with Appendix 1 on the evolution of metrology where he identifies Assyrian/Mycenean, Roman, Iberian, Egyptian, Byzantine, Samian (from the Greek island Samos), Persian, Sumerian, Saxon, Drusian/Belgic, and Russian historical modules that are proximate variations of today’s English foot, as well as examples of the megalithic yard, especially that of the astronomical megalithic yard (AMY) derived from the ratio between solar and lunar years over time; Appendix 2 on the significance of the Earth’s Moon; and Appendix 3 on the likely origins of Gurdjieff’s harmonic system.With respect to the latter, “Gurdjieff’s vision of many worlds, each created out of a higher and simpler world, provides a reason why the Earth holds uncanny numerical coincidences and why ancient builders sought to reproduce these then sacred measures of the Earth and Sky in building. The connectivity between these worlds ensures that the Creation is held together by numerical relationships that act as a glue and as conduits for the exchange of energies between the worlds of a single whole.”Notably, throughout the book, Heath emphasizes the evolving use of the triangle, studied at length by the Pythagoreans, reminding us that “the right triangle was the stepping-stone to the now unfamiliar form of calculation belonging to the angelic mind, which expresses itself through recurrences and ratios found within solar systems like ours.”Quoting Robin Heath, Richard’s brother, this book is “a masterwork of a mature mind. Here is the future textbook on cosmological design principles that include a Creator. [It] provides a viable alternative mandate to modern science.”This review first appeared in New Dawn magazine, issue no. 186.

Nice
Nice for a present

thought it explained
its geometry, not about the sacred geometry symbols. I see symbols when i do mediumship readings and i dont know what they mean.
