The Sacred Sphere: Exploring Sacred Concepts and Cosmic Consciousness Through Universal Symbolism

The Sacred Sphere explores world mythologies, cultural and religious philosophies, and ethnographic records from around the world, documenting the history of sacred symbols throughout the past two million years, and analyzing sacred geometries expressed in many traditions including the architecture of ancient and indigenous cultures. Virtually every major religion today, as well traditions first developed thousands of years ago, use the same circular geometry to symbolize sacred relationships. Most importantly, every one of those circular symbols represents a facet of a unique spherical geometry--a specific combination of nine circles forming the three-dimensional archetype from which those symbols derive. This is the Sacred Sphere.This 576-page book includes 178 illustrations, 21 color plates, and the book is fully indexed with notes, references, and a bibliography.
