Worthless garbage |
I got assigned this book as part of a class. The idea that geometry and philosophy had any ties were ridiculously explored in this book. It achives nothing, but on the plus side it isnt very long, giving lots of space for drawings and quotes that have nothing to do with the subject matter.
I tried to approach this book with an open mind, but all I got was a headache and innumerable brain cells to flee in the overhwelming horror of how awful this thing is. |

Numbers are Alive! |
| I attended a Sacred Geometry workshop sponsored by Phanes Press/David Fideler back in 1996 and had the good fortune to meet the author of A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe. The inspiring manner in which he presented difficult to grasp concepts (difficult for an innumerate, right brained type such as myself) helped me to reconnect with the actual humane-ness of mathematics, something so neglected/discouraged in education on all levels these days. This book is exemplary in that it directly purveys the spiritedness of the author himself-his genuine enthusiasm for the archetypal topic at hand, in this case the numbers one through ten. A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe certainly is the place to start the voyage to reclaiming the spirit and life hidden with mathematics. Number Crunchers take heed because numbers are alive! Jaye Beldo: Netnous@Aol.Com |

Awakened! |
| When i read the book, i was awakened! And many secrets were revealed that were protected by elite societies in the past. Numbers shape the world, and the book explains why. In fact, it's common sense when you come to think about it. All shapes are numbers with appearance. Numbers cannot be seen. But they are manifested in the square as 4, triangle as 3. And to realize that all shapes can be derived by the vescica pesces, is amazing. Two circles that overlap at their centers. It's a metaphore that teaches us people how to interact with each other -- in a way that two beings should touch each other's centers ( but this is not included in the book...just a thought ). |
