Encompassing nature, science, art, architecture, and spirituality, and illustrated with over 700 photographs and line drawings, The Hidden Geometry of Life illuminates the secret underpinnings of existence. In her trademark easy-to-understand style, mathematician Karen French shows how sacred geometry permeates every level of being, manifesting itself in simple shapes and numbers, music and sounds, light and color, even in the mysteries of creation itself. But these geometrical archetypes are more than the building blocks of reality: they are gateways to profound new levels of awareness.

From the Inside Flap
Throughout history we humans have searched for meaning to our existence. In The Hidden Geometry of Life Karen French reveals how geometry, in the broadest sense of the term, can provide the key to finding order, structure and significance within the astonishing multiplicity of the cosmos. 'Shaping Reality' focuses on the meaning of simple shapes. ...Together these forms make a Matrix - a model by which we can understand our place in time and space. 'Structure of Being' explores how all entities, including ourselves, come into existence. ... 'Medium of Sound' describes the fundamental importance of sound in facilitating the creation of reality. ... 'Let There Be Light' shows how light is an essential dynamic in our perception of reality. ... 'Gateway to Becoming' explores the holographic Universe, the power of directed thought and the profound truths inherent in mandalas and yantras. ...
Breathtaking in its scope and fascinating in its detail, this important book is nothing less than a comprehensive and coherent account in words and images, of the nature and meaning of the Universe - a vision in which science, art and spirit unite in an exhilarating celebration of wonder.
