Wolving Time by Patrick Jennings

Wolving Time by Patrick Jennings

The Odyssey of Sacred Knowledge, is the historical sequel to Mystifying Square, Divine Proportions - Nature's Black Box. It chronicles the five-thousand-year-long odyssey of the world's second measuring instrument - the Square-of-9 - from 3000 BCE Babylon to 21st century United States. It tells the story of the men and women who over the ages tapped the secrets of the universe and discovered the matrix of space-time - the heartbeat of all cycles, biological or inanimate. When stripped of its theological content, the Biblical narrative brings to light the era's scientific advances, as well as the troublesome lineage concealed in the Old Testament. It emerges that the Square-of-9 is the centrepiece of the Torah's five books, and that the Hebrew patriarchs' choice of heir dictated the course it would travel over the next five-thousand years. The Odyssey of Sacred Knowledge begins in the Garden of Eden where, according to the Genesis story, the first known humans lived. The serpent coiling round the Tree of Knowledge, the Tree's forbidden fruit, and the awakening of Adam and Eve are the seeds that germinated this volume. The serpent alludes to a spiral, the Garden's trees to a life-supporting environment and to the pristine surroundings humanity was yet to explore.
