I often find myself wanting answers and needing to know more, find meaning and order in the things that I don't know or understand. The authors focus of the Fibonacci sequence that took the nautilus shell in account for its measurements of patterns found in nature is one way to attempt to find answers. I look forward to reading the details if his theory.

I am an artist so I always have noticed this repetitive geometric patterns in different things just like the one in the cover of this book. It is maybe difficult to read because of all the scientific data on it, but is like a mystery to me. And I like mysteries. I hope to learn something new. Congrats on BOTD.

This sounds like an interesting concept but sounds like a book way too deep for what I'm looking for now with all the mathematics and scientific research compiled together.

Nice review. This concept of sacred geometry is fairly new to me. Having heard a brief talk about it previously it was very interesting and I do want to know more though I think that this kind of heavy intensive reading will be shelved until I can devote enough time to really dig in to the material. Thanks so much for sharing.I have mixed feelings on this one - I love geometry, and find patterns fascinating, but the paranormal does not interest me. I will flick through the free copy before deciding whether to give it a go.What a great review. I went through a phase in the 90s when I couldn't get enough sacred geometry. It is mind blowing how the same geometry is found in every form of life. I would love to find out what the author thinks our role is. Thank you for the introduction to this interesting book.

The book sure sounds like a lot of research and time went into making it a success. It also taking an angle that's quite unique: geometry and patterns. Thanks to the author the book is free on Amazon Kindle. Thanks for the great review.

I was never a science or math geek and the book seems to contain complex topics. I just hope these topics are written in a way that they can be easily understood by people like me. I am interested in paranormal and astrology so I'm open to reading this book. Thank you for your review!

I have read previously on the Fibonacci sequence and its appearance in all creation. I wonder if this has the same relationship with the Stillpoint mentioned in this book? I'll definitely enjoy reading this book. Thanks for your wonderful review.

I'm really interested in knowing more about our presence on earth, and Stillpoint seems to be the book for that. Thank you for the review.

I sampled the book on Amazon. This book is meant to cater all the inquisitive minds out there who want to know more about things around in the universe. The writing style is simple and engaging. Cheers!

Very detailed review! I appreciate the heads up on how repetitive this book will be and just how vast the author's research is; having spent years perusing and compiling proof. As a reader who loves paranormal phenomena and accurate sacred practices, I'm thrilled to have this copy for free!(just sign in with your amazon account and it can be yours for 0.00!) I am sure to finish this book in 2019, because i have always been obsessed with sacred geo, and i am currently reading a more advanced book on the subject!
Again. Thanks for the review!

I've actually heard about this sort of thing before but never really took the time to really learn about it. I'm fascinated by these sorts of mind-altering concepts, so perhaps I should give this book a try. It might be a bit dense at points but, honestly, I'm no stranger to dense subjects (literary theory isn't the lightest read itself). Thank you for the helpful review.

Good review. If you have never asked yourself what is it that you are doing here in this existence, this book can get you to think. I appreciate the effort by the author. Thanks.

There is no doubt that any input towards making humanity steer away from self-destructive tendencies is highly welcome in society today. I am curious about the "specific targeted action" that the author gives in the book.
