How the Universe is Constructed: A Mind-Blowing Insight

Michael S. Schneider, in his book A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe, presents some fascinating evidence for the principles of sacred geometry shaping the universe in which we dwell.  While he every now and then throws out a sentence that seems heavy-handed and somewhat over-the-top, often directly referencing his primary concept and linking a number to an archetype or ideal in an exaggerated way, the evidence he provides to define each number in a sacred manner supports him fully.  From the excerpts I have now read, the end result seems to be a convincing case for...  Well, I'm not entirely sure what the overall point is exactly.  It is a highly intriguing look into the building blocks of our reality, analyzing almost everything one usually takes for granted to provide a portrait of the world in the colors of numbers.  And perhaps that is enough of a purpose, because it manages to craft the mundane into thread and weave a complex narrative of universal understanding that could inspire anyone capable of reading.

But let me back up.  When I started reading these excerpts, I was still rather confused as to the whole idea of sacred geometry.  While I've known for most of my life that numbers such as three and seven are vastly important in the Bible and in stories and myth and in nature itself, the idea of every number having its own distinct meaning seemed rather far-fetched to me- especially five standing for life and regeneration.  It sounded like a lot of overanalysis and applying meaning where they may be none.  But yet, as I read Schneider's writing, I found myself agreeing with everything and easily seeing the connections between numbers and philosophical understanding.  Three's representation of wholeness and completion made perfect sense in energy, mass, and light; spirit, soul, and body; red, blue, and yellow.  Four truly seemed to be linked to earth and matter itself in the form of the elements, directions, and seasons.  And right there, I used three examples because that seemed to be the ideal form of completion for that sentence.  I am now noticing the uses of these numbers in everyday life and it is blowing my mind.  It's like a new realm of knowledge has been opened up and it can explain fundamental aspects of the universe.  This is truly a topic that can interest any human present on this Earth.
