Norris Clarke</a> is a lucid and compassionate account of where ACIM and conventional Christianity diverge at the foundational level... With each title I read from the Wapnick collection, I become more impressed with his clarity in presenting key ideas that release us from dualistic paradigms. ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-23240" id="Anchor-23240"></a>6) Movie(s) of Interest We just saw Pixar's latest amusing and highly creative <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/" target="_blank">Wall-E</a> on the silver screen; great fun and even some whimsical satire on consumer culture and it's (interconnected) impact on our environment. ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-3800" id="Anchor-3800"></a>7) Music of Interest For several years, I've been enjoying the Trance Planet series (<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/B0000057QN/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">1</a>, <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/B0000057QV/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">2</a>, <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/B0000057RB/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">3</a>, <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/B00004KH9D/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">4</a>, <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/B00004Y6U8/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">5</a> & <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/B00006J3ZI/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">6</a>) which have some lovely world music... perhaps by being the observer, we're becoming aware of our trances and can awaken from them into happier dreams... and ultimately beyond the veils of illusion! ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-35326" id="Anchor-35326"></a>8) <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/affiliates.shtml" target="_blank">Affiliate(s)</a> of the Month <a href="http://www.jointhesolution.com/brucerawles" target="_blank">CitizenRe</a> is an innovative solar leasing program that offers a VERY affordable approach to 'Rethink' solar for your home: an inspiring visionary photovoltaic program that we're quite enthused about (we've locked in our 2007 electric rate for 25 years for our home in Oregon): * no system purchase * no installation cost * no maintenance fees * no permit hassles * no performance worries * no rate increases Not only is this a great way to make a positive difference environmentally, the $500-$1000 refundable security deposit (only after your site is analyzed and you approve the plans) is a completely do-able alternative to the usual $15-30K investment that outright purchase (great for those who can afford it!) offers. and the modular design and savvy automated daily metering are examples of both pragmatic and visionary thinking. ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-44867" id="Anchor-44867"></a>9) Quote(s) of the Month "The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook." - William James "Those closest to us are the brightest mirrors of ourselves we can find." - Patricia Sun "The worst mistake that you can make is to think you're alive when really you're asleep in life's waiting room." - Guy Forsyth, in the animated movie, <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/B00005YU1O/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">Waking Life</a> ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-10-33869" id="Anchor-10-33869"></a>10) Image(s) of the Month <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/dodecahedral_bubble_print-228058706288429088?gl=BruceRawles" target="_blank">This "Dodecahedral Bubble" pattern</a> is a permutation (of the pattern found on page 200 in <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/sgds/index.shtml" target="_blank">SGDS</a> <img src="http://www.geometrycode.com/bulletins/images/dodecahedralBubble.jpg" livesrc="http://www.GeometryCode.com/images/dodecahedralBubble.pdf" alt="" height="300" width="398" border="0"/> ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-11-6296" id="Anchor-11-6296"></a>11) 2008 (now <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/contest.shtml" target="_blank">annual) multimedia CONTEST</a>!

Sacred Geometry Bulletin for June 2008

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 07:33:00 GMT

<div id="main"> <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.geometrycode.com/bulletins/images/TheGeometryCodebanner.jpg" alt="" height="80" width="632" border="0"></a> Hi all: Here's the <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/sg/index.shtml" target="_blank">Sacred Geometry</a> bulletin for June 2008: ================================================================== <a href="#Anchor-49575">1) Events: Interviews, Seminars, Workshops, Classes, Exhibits</a> <a href="#Anchor-47857">2) New Products</a> <a href="#Anchor-11481">3) Recent Introductions</a> <a href="#Anchor-35882"> 4) Website(s) of Interest</a> <a href="#Anchor-14210"> 5) Book(s) of Interest</a> <a href="#Anchor-23240"> 6) Movie(s) of Interest</a> <a href="#Anchor-3800"> 7) Music of Interest</a> <a href="#Anchor-35326"> 8) Affiliate(s) of the Month</a> <a href="#Anchor-44867"> 9) Quote(s) of the Month</a> <a href="#Anchor-10-33869"> 10) Image(s) of the Month</a> <a href="#Anchor-11-6296"> 11) Annual Multimedia Contest!</a> <a href="#Anchor-12-48213"> 12) Request for Submissions</a> ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-49575" id="Anchor-49575"></a>1) Events: Interviews, Seminars, Workshops, Classes, Exhibits June 12-21 Special on most LightSOURCE products! Mika Feinberg (the artistic and programming genius behind all the <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/lightsource.shtml" target="_blank">LightSOURCE products</a>) & I are both fans of each other's work. In 2006, we began a dialogue that evolved led to the <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/gc/gc_sseb.shtml" target="_blank">Geometry Code screensaver</a> (which includes my eBooklet distillations from <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/gc/gc_book.shtml" target="_blank">the upcoming book</a>) after numerous enthusiastic phone calls and emails. Since we completed our collaboration, both PC and Macintosh versions of the original LightSOURCE have been updated to the latest higher resolution technology (<a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/lightsource2ndedition.html">LightSOURCE 2nd Edition</a>) to provide even more dazzling imagery than the original. If you've been meaning to get one of the exquisite screensavers from <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/lightsource.shtml" target="_blank">LightSOURCE</a>... or perhaps a DVD, CDROM, <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/fineart.html" target="_blank">fine art Giclée print or note card</a>, <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/lightshirts.html" target="_blank">t-shirt</a>, <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/posters.html" target="_blank">poster</a>, or a <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/downloads.html" target="_blank">digital download</a>... NOW is the time! During the month of June 2008 until June 21 use this promo code ( 47728 ) on any of these items from <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com" target="_blank">sacred-geometry.com</a> (by special arrangement with <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com" target="_blank">GeometryCode.com</a>) you will receive a 20% discount! (Note: this does not include 3D forms, pendants or the Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook). I've been reviewing the few titles of LightSOURCE DVDs and CDROMs that I hadn't seen before and they are all quite lovely! The newer releases (including the completely remastered LightSOURCE 2nd Edition) have superb high resolution and even smoother animation for an outstanding audiovisual experience! <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/lightsource2ndEditionDVD.html" target="_blank">The LightSOURCE 2nd Edition DVD (with Deep Time Dreaming with Hemi-Sync</a>)  is even more dazzling, and this enhanced resolution and smooth flow carries over in the companion  <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/lightsource2ndedition.html" target="_blank">LightSOURCE 2nd Edition screensaver/meditation tool</a>. Mika's superb sense of color and animation virtuosity encompasses a variety of related products. Among the others, my personal favorite is his <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/codesofthecosmos.html" target="_blank">Sacred Gaiametry</a> which features some of the most inspiring crop formations. I find that these culture-independent patterns have a way of speaking to our inner sensibilities directly, bypassing the intellect and touching a more transpersonal awareness. Adding animation offers an even greater dimension to these universal archetypes, speaking to us of how our nature is intrinsically interwoven. <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/blossominglotus.html" target="_blank">Blossoming Lotus</a> (screensaver and DVD) and <a href="http://www.sacred-geometry.com/hantayo.html" target="_blank">Hanta Yo</a> screensavers are also quite lovely! ...

(Still Fairly) New :-) A DVD of a presentation I gave last summer in Ashland (well-received) is available online! <a href="http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/rvml/the-78/The-Geometry-Code-cln--Symbolic/Detail" target="_blank">The Geometry Code: Symbolic Wisdom of Natural Law Within Us</a> Purchases of this DVD directly supports <a href="http://www.rvml.org/" target="_blank">RVML (Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library)</a>, a very worthy organization! Digital audio download: <a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/2198451" target="_blank"> Sacred Geometry and Sound Healing : How Ancient Hermetic Laws, Quantum Physics and Universal Symbolic Archetypes all converge in Your Optimum Wellness</a> For those of you who weren't able to attend my presentation at the <a href="http://soundhealingcenter.com/laconf/calendar.html" target="_blank">Globe Sound Healing Conference</a> in Woodland Hills in January (or those who would like to listen to it again any tim at your leisure!), I've uploaded an audio transcript of my presentation. <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/gc/gc_sseb.shtml" target="_blank">The GeometryCode logo </a>(6 circular images surrounding the central one is the perfect backdrop for listening to this talk as we explore the Seven Hermetic Laws, etc.) Enhance your edits: <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/gvp/gvp.shtml" target="_blank">Geometric Video Patterns (Gradient Wipe Transition Images) for Final Cut Pro</a>! ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-35882" id="Anchor-35882"></a>4) Website(s) of Interest My SGDS book was featured in a <a href="http://www.robertburridge.com/newsletter/artsyfartsy_mayjune08/index.html" target="_blank">recent article by artist Robert Burridge on the Golden Section</a>. My wife and I have attended several of Bob's (always fun, engaging and richly useful) art classes, most recently combined with a fabulous trip to Guatemala last fall where Nancy painted and I did journaling in my notebook for <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/gc/gc_book.shtml" target="_blank">my next book</a>. In response to Bob's quick overview of the golden ratio, I ended up doing an impromptu class on sacred geometry there overlooking gorgeous Lake Atitlán from our hotel (for those who wanted to know more than Bob's very simplified system of dividing a canvas into thirds to do a rough golden proportion) and it was well received. I'm working on a smallish book geared to artists with lots of hands-on illustrations, step-by-step instructions and classic constructions for 2D and 3D artists; stay tuned! (If there are particular items YOU would like to see explained or illustrated in a book on sacred geometry for artists, now is the time to <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/contact.shtml" target="_blank">get your requests in</a>! :-) <a href="http://www.visionsofenergy.com/" target="_blank">Visions Of Energy: Impressions of The LIFE Force</a> and <a href="http://www.lightweavings.com/" target="_blank">Landscapes of the Inner Eye</a> by Vandorn Hinnant ... some elegant visionary art with lots of sacred geometric inspirations! Here's some thoughtful writing (newly available) about <a href="http://www.laskow.net/articles/spritual_inquiry.shtml" target="_blank">Spiritual Inquiry</a> by colleague (and dear friend!) <a href="http://www.laskow.net/index.shtml" target="_blank">Dr. Leonard Laskow</a>... it sure resonates with me! :-) In honor of <a href="http://www.jointhesolution.com/brucerawles" target="_blank">sunnier days</a>, and rising dinosaur fume prices, here are a few links on sustainability; the heart of which is realizing our intrinsic interconnectedness, of course! ... We all have a <a href="http://www.brightfuture.us/" target="_blank">Bright Future</a>! Explore the abundantly helpful site of colleague Randy Bisenz, showcasing solutions for a better tomorrow. Here are some useful <a href="http://honoringalllife.org/Summer.php" target="_blank">classes from friend Shaktari Belew</a> and abundant links on going beyond mere sustainability to <a href="http://honoringalllife.org/TransitionLINKS.php" target="_blank">thriving communities</a>; mirrors of happy dreams! For many years I 'subbed' as a DJ on <a href="http://www.kvmr.org" target="_blank">KVMR-FM</a> (a great community radio station! I recently discovered my friend Michael Stone's show <a href="http://www.arewelistening.net/about.htm" target="_blank">Conversations</a> which has <a href="http://www.arewelistening.net/listen.htm" target="_blank">archives online</a> you can listen to his shows about 'commitment to co-creating a more socially just, environmentally sustainable, and spiritually fulfilling world for us all.' Anyone familiar with sacred geometry has likely experienced the seminal, prodigous and wide-ranging work of <a href="http://www.drunvalo.net/" target="_blank">Drunvalo Melchizedek</a>. My first article for their online <a href="http://www.spiritofmaat.com/" target="_blank">Spirit of Ma'at</a> ezine was published in 2004. This <a href="http://spiritofmaat.com/may08/home_lessons_from_modern_physics.html" target="_blank">May 2008 article on "Take Home Lessons From Modern Physics"</a> has a brief <a href="http://www.spiritofmaat.com/may08/index.htm" target="_blank">intro overview</a>. Stay tuned for more articles in this series... ... Synchronistically, local artist friends Sally & Brian (are holding/hosting a <a href="http://www.floweroflife.org/" target="_blank">Flower of Life</a> <a href="http://emeraldcircle.us/pages/" target="_blank">Workshop at their home in Talent, Oregon</a>. I've been writing a series of articles that are chapter excerpts from my upcoming Geometry Code book which are appearing monthly in The Spirit of Ma'at ezine. ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-14210" id="Anchor-14210"></a>5) Book(s) of Interest <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/0933291213/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">The Most Commonly Asked Questions About 'A Course in Miracles'</a> By Gloria Wapnick, Kenneth Wapnick Some very relevant answers to questions that cover lots of ground in this world; The Wapnick's insight and depth of understanding of the course shine throughout this helpful Q&A collection. ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-23240" id="Anchor-23240"></a> 6) Movie(s) of Interest <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/B0014D5RBE/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">Lars and the Real Girl</a> A surprisingly compassionate film about non-resistance and community; not really about what it appears on the surface; isn't life like that! :-) ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-3800" id="Anchor-3800"></a>7) Music of Interest <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/intent-20/detail/B000H0MKGK/103-8302590-8943853" target="_blank">Continuum by John Mayer</a> This album has a song I'm particularly fond of, "The Heart of Life". The lyrical gems for me are "Pain throws your heart to the ground; love turns the whole thing around; I know the heart of life is good" and "Fear is a friend who's misunderstood." The first lyric seems obvious (although we seem to be able to ignore that unshakeable knowingness sometimes - A Course In Miracles uses the analogy of a child's nightmare). The second lyric about fear being a misunderstood friend reminds me of a quote (not sure of the attribution) about the egoic mind being a useful passenger (mirror/warning system) but a lousy driver. Move over ego! :-) ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-35326" id="Anchor-35326"></a>8) <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/affiliates.shtml" target="_blank">Affiliate(s)</a> of the Month <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign" target="_blank">CafePress</a> - The snazzy (I'm biased, but I like it :-) logo from the <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/gc/gc_sseb.shtml" target="_blank">GeometryCode</a> is emblazoned on a wide variety of products including all sorts of <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.109752866" target="_blank">apparel</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.109752896" target="_blank">mugs</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.112348753" target="_blank">coasters</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.109752829" target="_blank">aprons</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.112348752" target="_blank">keepsake boxes</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.112348754" target="_blank">framed tiles</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.109752832" target="_blank">mousepads</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.109752911" target="_blank">hats</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.109752826" target="_blank">tote bags</a>, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.109752830" target="_blank">journals</a> ... <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign" target="_blank">much more</a> ... even a <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.109752827" target="_blank">teddy bear</a> and a <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign.109752849" target="_blank">dog t-shirt</a>!

BTW, if you have a favorite image from my <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/gallery/martineau/index.shtml" target="_blank">Martineau Solar System Series</a> that is (at present only available via <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/brucerawles/products/cg-196504556305954723" target="_blank">Zazzle,) </a>or <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/sgds/index.shtml" target="_blank">my Sourcebook</a> that you'd like to see colorized, or any other geometric image I've generated, for that matter just let me know, and I'll add it to my products from <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/intentdesign" target="_blank">CafePress</a>, too! ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-44867" id="Anchor-44867"></a> 9) Quote(s) of the Month "How necessary it is to cultivate a spirit of joy. It is a psychological truth that the physical acts of reverence and devotion make one feel devout. The courteous gesture increases one's respect for others. To act lovingly is to begin to feel loving, and certainly to act joyfully brings joy to others which in turn makes one feel joyful. I believe we are called to the duty of delight." - Dorothy Day "The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook." - William James "People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." - Albert Einstein ================================================================== <a name="Anchor-10-33869" id="Anchor-10-33869"></a>10) Image(s) of the Month This is one of the images in my <a href="http://www.geometrycode.com/gallery/martineau/index.shtml" target="_blank">Martineau Solar System series</a>.
