Sacred Geometry

Sacred Geometry by Stephen Skinner

A fascinating and inspirational look at the vital link between the hidden geometrical order of the universe, geometry in nature, and the geometry of the man-made world.

The Da Vinci Code has awakened the public to the powerful and very ancient idea that religious truths and mathematical principles are intimately intertwined. Sacred Geometry offers an accessible way of understanding how that connection is revealed in nature and the arts. Over the centuries, temple builders have relied on magic numbers to shape sacred spaces, astronomers have used geometry to calculate holy seasons, and philosophers have observed the harmony of the universe in the numerical properties of music. By showing how the discoveries of mathematics are manifested over and over again in biology and physics, and how they have inspired the greatest works of art, this illuminating study reveals the universal principles that link us to the infinite.

Stephen Skinner is the founder and publisher of Feng Shui for Modern Living magazine, the world's best-selling magazine on feng shui, which is available in many countries and published simultaneously in both English and Chinese. He originally learned feng shui with practicing masters in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. Skinner is also the author of The Living Earth Manual of Feng Shui, the first English-language book on feng shui published in the 20th century. Master Wu Hsien Sheng is one of the old style feng shui masters practicing mainly in Hong Kong, who inherited his profession from his father, and his father before him. Now retired and in his eighties, Master Wu remembers when the main concern of his early clients was for yin feng shui, and the lay of the land was more important than the colors of the curtains. Nowadays his clients are more likely to include businessmen or lawyers. He attributes his considerable vigor to Chinese ch'i concentrating exercises and the number of mountains he climbed when he was young.
