Official Review: Stillpoint by James Ross Godbe

[Cristina Chifane]

I am a non-conformist person in general, so the fact that the author challenges many dogmatic social, political, or religious beliefs does not bother me at all. Although I share the author's concern about the future of our planet, I will not be reading the book mainly because his explanations are too elaborate and sometimes repetitive. Thanks for a wonderful review!

In an attempt to answer the world's most profound questions, this author explores the pattern of geometry he calls "Stillpoint." There is a lot of information in this book, perhaps too much for a layperson like me to enjoy.

It's time to save the planet. We can no longer afford to remain complacent, or we will be annihilated, us and all other living things besides. The sample expounds on this doomsday scenario. I wonder how the rest of the pages will go.

I found the sample riddled with errors, so it was difficult to read. The difficulty was heightened by the long sentences used to introduce complex concepts. If we want to rally the world into a collective consciousness, simple language is imperative.

Wonderful review. To write a book on such a topic requires quite extensive research, hats off to the author. The book would be very intriguing. However, it's quite deep for me.

I love the fact that this book is loaded with information from a variety of sources, much of it scientific and mathematical to back up the explanation of the universe that we are in. The author did a great job in making us to think outside the box. Great review!

Having become interested by a particular mathematical and geometric pattern he kept noticing in relation to the sun, moon, and the earth, the author spent years perusing and compiling various sources of information relating to this “sacred geometry” which has been found only in our solar system. 

Throughout this book, Godbe attempts to define this geometry, alternately referred to as the Stillpoint, and provides countless examples of its inexplicable appearance in the orbit and rotation patterns of the sun, moon, earth, and the other planets of our solar system. He similarly identifies the Stillpoint geometry within patterns of nature and even the chemical bonds of water, DNA, and other basic molecules of life.

Sounds a useful and informative book for fans of the genre. I am not the target audience. I got my copy, though. Thank you for the detailed review!

After reading several reviews it seems as though this book would not be in my wheelhouse. While I do like to learn while reading, this book seems to be dry and an information overload. I also appreciate alternate viewpoints so I can ultimately make an informed decision. Very nice reviews posted that helped with this decision.

This fascinating foray into the universe and life as we know it looks awesome. I love the diagrams, and look forward to reading this!

I appreciate the amount of research it must have taken to compile such a comprehensive resource. Thanks for the informative review.

My youngest son and I experimented with this long ago, trying to find the golden ratio in nature...didn't work. I still want to explore it more. Also, I looked into global consciousness experiments a lot, the ones where enormous crowds of people focused on one thing to see what would happen. The result of one was supposedly an unexplained drop in crime for that time.

It's hard to decide if all this is true and, if it is, does it matter? Will it make things better? If so, better by whose measure? Why do drug-induced 'trips', sacred visions, spiritual enlightenment, etcetera, so often (always?) lead to the same understanding?

The lack of spacing after italicized words in the sample and the instances of wrong words is going to drive me crazy but I still want to read it. From your review, I get that it will be worth it.

This sounds like a fascinating book. This book discusses concepts of how the earth came to be, is there other life in the universe, etc... This is definitely a book that readers must use an open mind. Congrats on the book of the day! Great review.

I just finished a book along these lines which showed how science has proven how our thoughts affect those around us and our world. While this book sounds interesting, I found myself somewhat put off by the opening pages, and if it continues as you say to be “dense” then this isn’t the book for me. I don’t mind reading about how we can become better people, but this one seems a bit too deep with a mathematical formula and all. Thanks for further insight on this.

[Mai Tran]

Thanks for the review. This sounds like a thought-provoking book. I only wish it had a bit more structure to it.

Creation can be a quite sensitive topic to some people. Since there are various beliefs regarding the topic. Here, the author uses mathematical and geometric patterns in relation to the moon and sun. I haven't heard about the stillpoint before, so I hope I eventually get to read the book and understand it better. Good review.

What I enjoyed most about the book is that the plans, model, and location photographs for the Mesa Temple brought me there in person. Such a good read. Congratulations on BOTD.
