Product Description
Review
"As usual, this is a dense, yet inspiring, read and one that has some practical nuggets in it for those who are looking for a kind of three-dimensional sacred geometry they can apply to daily life."
Product Description
"The priests of ancient Egypt preserved a geometrical canon, a numerical code of harmonies and proportions, that they applied to music, art, statecraft and all the institutions of their civilisation. Plato, an initiate in the Egyptian mysteries, saidit was the instrument by which the ancients maintained high, principled standards of civilisation and culture over thousands of years. In THE DIMENSIONS OF PARADISE, John Michell describes the results of a lifetime's research, demonstrating how thesame numerical code underlies sacred structures from ancient times to the Christian era. In the measurements of Stonehenge, the foundation plan of Glastonbury, Plato's ideal city and the Heavenly City of the New Jerusalem described in the vision of Saint John, lie the science and cosmology on which the ancient world order was founded. The central revelation of this book is a structure of geometry and number representing the essential order of the heavens and functioning as a map of paradise. John Michell lives in London."

A Curious Book
29 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a very curious book. The author presents alot of information form a English/Western-centric viewpoint. He knows about Plato and Pythagoras but [apparently at least in this book] little about Egypt and India. He spends alot of time in Gematria which is an adjunct to Sacred Geometry but not the entire story. Many times the theme comes back to the New Jerusalem and the NJ star. But if you are looking for a breakout from a Euro-centric perspective to Sacred Geometry (SG) you will be disappointed. And this is a common problem with SG books. Most authors cannot get past the Greek or Medieval understandings of SG.
If you want to go back further in time and recover some more ancient principles then John Anthony West in Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt is a good resource. He makes Schwaller de Lubitz, a master of SG, understandable. If you are looking for current teachers in SG then you can check out BioGeometry TM by Ibrahim Karim. Also Charles Gilchrist is another reliable source. I would however avoid Drunvalo Melchizedek. DM's earlier works are worth a look The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life: Volume 1 (Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life). However there is little that you can apply and his later works become an ego-trip Serpent of Light: Beyond 2012.
