Thank you for the review. While there will be those who will find the research and theory that the author proposes around the "evolved consciousness" that gave rise to the universe and our solar system useful, I am afraid that his work and his conclusions sound a bit exaggerated for my taste, but everyone has their own belief and that has to be respected.

Using "sacred geometry" in order to prove that there is a higher consciousness that created the universe sounds like a pretty dense topic. I can definitely see how a reader would need an open mind in order to consume this information. It's good to know that you learned a lot by reading this book, but too bad about the errors you found here. I don't think this is for me as I believe obscure math and physics would be over my head. However, it does sound like those who would like to explore more of the larger picture and who would like a more "scientific" explanation would enjoy this. Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing!

The Nautilus shell on the cover immediately made me think of the Fibonacci number sequence we find repeatedly in things. I find it fascinating that there are patterns in all of creation, and as you mentioned, the planets in our solar system have a rotational pattern. The author's deep dive into mathematical and geometrical research into patterns sounds a bit complicated. I think you did a good job of reading the book and writing a good review on it.

The information presented concerns the discovery of empirical data about our solar system that is worldview shattering. This information proves, I believe, the existence of an infinitely higher consciousness than our own - what most people call God - with bodhisattvic intention. The facts are irrefutable and their implications hold unimagined potential for a world looking into the abyss.The essence of this information has to do with the the heart of sacred geometry - the vector equilibrium, or stillpoint geometry. This geometry has also been called Kether, The Point of Creation at the crown of the Kabbalah's Tree of Life. This stillpoint is the interface between the Ayn - the limitless, the Great Mystery of the Lakota or the cosmic plenum of the Metaverse - with all of manifestation. It is the 'mahabindu, the point representing simultaneously the source of creation and the transcendence of all polarities and final integration at the end of the spiritual journey'. It is what Buckminster Fuller called 'the nearest approach we will even know to eternity and God.' This geometry has only to do with consciousness . . . a geometry that does not manifest. It has been discovered that the dimensions of the Earth, Moon and Sun 'impossibly' express this geometry. There is no explanation for this in physics, geometry or mathematics, or in fact all of science, it is absurdly outside of the reach of chance or coincidence, and is not necessary for life. Other recent discoveries in other disciplines have affirmed the implications of this discovery - that our Earth, Moon and Sun were created intentionally, for the acceleration of the evolution of consciousness.I believe that this phenomenon is a message . . . a message inviting a response that may lead to a global transformation of consciousness.

A very complex book, indeed. But if it succeeds in presenting enough arguments in favor of a universe that has been intelligently designed by a force beyond what science can currently explain, I think it would have contributed in proving something very valuable. I hope it would not shy away also from being open enough to link this to beliefs underlying the Christian faith, which believes in Someone who lovingly and brilliantly created all things.

Thanks for this wonderful review. Even though I have a very open mind and interested in what the author says, I'm put off by the math and geometry. I graduated high school 18yrs ago and not interested in reading a textbook so I really hope it doesn't happen to be like this.

Congratulations on an excellently written review on a book that has an immense amount of information. I’m fascinated by the extent of research compiled and included in the content. Given my conviction in God as Creator, my study would be out of curiosity rather than answers to universal questions.
There’s nothing wrong with testing conviction, though, so I’ll tag it for the future.

The greatest questions are where did we come from and where are we going? I'd like to see this author's take on these things.

I have read the review of the book Stilpoint by James Ross Godbe. It is the story about a sacred geometry deriven by author. The geometry made by the help of sun, moon and earth is very interesting. I like this book and I want to read this.Thanks for your review.

It sounds like a really profound book. I think it's worth reading very carefully. It has a lot of information and deserves to be read with some care.

This is the kind of book I crave for. Thanks for your descriptive review. Sacred geometry is a concept that has always bedazzled me. I'm a firm believer in order in the chaos and I know this book wont disappoint me.

It's great to get hold of Stillpoint by James Ross Godbe as it tries to show mathematical proof of the existence of an omniscient, powerful consciousness that created the universe. The word "God" is not mentioned in the Amazon summary and, that's just as well. This book challenges traditional religions in the way it is presented. Or it even seeks to transcend all of them, as it tries to present another explanation on the force or forces that willed all of us into existence. I agree with reviewer blugreenmarina that one must approach the book with an open mind. Otherwise, it would be hard to appreciate its message. While we open our minds to new ideas, let's also remember to keep the left-of-center questioning part of our brains cocked and ready for inquiry to make this exploration a truly productive and enlightening learning journey. Congratulations to the author for his thought-provoking, passionate work.

Thanks for the review !
I am very impressed about how it is complex in a good way and its detailed researches are, it is really engaging to know to what the world came to and how it will proceed from this point.
Think outside of the books.

Interesting review. Thank you for being so thorough with it.
I find the idea of "sacred geometry" quite fascinating. It's definitely something outside the realm of what I'm used to reading but I just might add it to my tbr.

This is an important mind expanding book. Being a mathematics major in college, this idea is interesting to me. I don't think I want to read something so heavy, however. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.
