Description
Book SynopsisReveals how the number science found in ancient sacred monuments reflects wisdom transmitted from the angelic orders
• Explains how the angels transmitted megalithic science to early humans to further our conscious development
• Decodes the angelic science hidden in a wide range of monuments, including Carnac in Brittany, the Great Pyramid in Egypt, early Christian pavements, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Stonehenge in England, and the Kaaba in Mecca
• Explores how the number science behind ancient monuments gave rise to religions and spiritual practices
The angelic mind is founded on a deep understanding of number and the patterns they produce. These patterns provided a constructive framework for all manifested life on Earth. The beauty and elegance we see in sacred geometry and in structures built according to those proportions are the language of the angels still speaking to us.
Examining the angelic science of number first manifested on Earth in the Stone Age, Richard Heath reveals how the resulting development of human consciousness was no accident: just as the angels helped create the Earth’s environment, humans were then evolved to make the planet self-aware. To develop human minds, the angels transmitted their own wisdom to humanity through a numerical astronomy that counted planetary and lunar time periods. Heath explores how this early humanity developed an expert understanding of sacred number through astronomical geometries, leading to the unified range of measures employed in their observatories and later in cosmological monuments such as the Giza Pyramids and Stonehenge. The ancient Near East transformed megalithic science into our own mathematics of notational arithmetic and trigonometry, further developing the human mind within the early civilizations.
Heath decodes the angelic science hidden within a wide range of monuments and sites, including Carnac in Brittany, the Great Pyramid in Egypt, Teotihuacan in Mexico, early Christian pavements, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, and the Kaaba in Mecca. Exploring the techniques used to design these monuments, he explains how the number science behind them gave rise to ancient religions and spiritual practices. He also explores the importance of lunar astronomy, first in defining a world suitable for life and then in providing a subject accessible to pre-arithmetic humans, for whom the Moon was a constant companion.
Trade Review“Heath illuminates the cosmological ideas informing the teachings of John Bennett and George Gurdjieff. His book is a masterful insight into the origins of ancient wisdom, presented with impeccable analyses of megalithic and historical monuments. It gives a theory of angelic or higher intelligence based on astronomy, music, and number--reflecting the ‘deep thought’ operating at the start of human consciousness.” * ANTHONY BLAKE, author of A Gymnasium of Beliefs in Higher Intelligence *
“In
Sacred Geometry, Richard Heath proposes, based on his deep and comprehensive analysis of primary sacred sites, that numbers and geometries are the primary medium for divine creation. He proves these sites were built based on specific numbers and geometrical patterns that correspond with the musical octaves. Heath concludes angels inspired these sites to advance evolution on Earth, a very radical idea. If this is true, then angelic science guided the numeric order built into Earth’s design and it’s unfolding in time. I think he’s right.
Sacred Geometry is a deep and sustained meditation with the mind of Gaia--brilliant!” * BARBARA HAND CLOW, author of Awakening the Planetary Mind *
“Richard Heath has deeply studied the astonishing harmonic insights possessed by the creators of ancient stone structures. He translates for us the sacred languages of number, tone, and geometry that they embodied in stone as expressions of and homage to the cosmic order found in the sky.” * JOHN OSCAR LIEBEN, author of Sacred Geometry for Artists, Dreamers, and Philosophers *
“Richard Heath’s erudite and rigorous magnum opus ranges eloquently from Pythagoras to Gurdjieff, via Hamlet’s Mill, and demonstrates that for the diligent moon counter, sacred geometry is truly a ‘language of Being.’” * GARETH MILLS, The Speaking Tree Bookshop, Glastonbury *
“Loaded with detailed illustrations, diagrams, graphs, and photographs, Heath transports the reader around the world demonstrating his knowledge and insights into how all of this ancient knowledge fits together and can be understood by the modern intellectual and spiritual mind.”-- * Brent Raynes, Alternate Perceptions Archival Newsletter *
"In this beautifully illustrated thesis, Heath shows precisely how number, proportion and astronomy were inter-related in cultures all over the world to express the ideals of divine wisdom. The book not only demonstrates these processes with photos and diagrams but also shows why this ‘science’ is important and must not be lost." * Fortean Times *
"All in all,
Sacred Geometry frames the foundation of the universe, physical building, and human life in an entirely new way. By focusing on the mathematics of that time, rather than the abstracted forms used now, a new perspective emerges. I am open to the possibility of a higher intelligence imparting the template for humanity to grow, and I enjoyed how this book pushed the boundaries of what’s commonly accepted in many fields, from religion to science to math." * Alanna Kali, Musing Mystical *
