Author Karen French offers us a totally different and refreshing perspective on viewing the world, nature as well as man-made items. Her exhaustive research shows the universality of shapes and symbols; an encouraging reminder that seemingly disparate cultures share the same human traits.

Part I covers the literal and intuitive properties of a few basic geometric shapes and numbers - the single Point, Duality, Circle, Square and Triangle. The individual personalities of each shape are explained to highlight the features of reality they mould.  Effectively these act to construct the stage and set the scene of the play in which life is acted out.

Part II describes how in this process of construction other principles emerge that are fundamental to the animation and purpose of the universe – the properties of the Spiral sustaining reality, the Cross highlighting the Central point of existence and the Heart where we weigh up our choices. These geometric principles direct the play, providing the story line and underlying purpose.

Part III describes how we can make positive headway in our lives by studying and living in accordance with the universal archetypes of sacred geometry, and hence our part in the natural order of ‘the play’. The Gateway to the Heavens model eloquently conveys essential messages in the visual language of geometry. Using it, and other images of sacred geometry, each moment in the day is transformed from being routine and material into a flowing adventure of personal discovery and ever-expanding awareness of reality. 

Absolutely fascinating, and when you think about it a little more it's amazing to realise that there are all these patterns and links all around us everyday.
