I heard about this awhile ago and filed it under dumb facebook shit, but now my grandmother wants us all to read this book that "says some real interesting stuff about what shapes say about the world". Is there anything I should know about this particular type of nonsense?
I’m not really sure to be honest. I’ve been interested in math/geometry for many years, so I’ve bumped into sacred geometry, but never really looked into it.
Visually, it’s cool as shit, and does often reflect neat aspects of legit math. Ideologically/who’s pushing it and why, I have no idea.
I’ve just kind of filed it under “crystal healing” type stuff, just not really as predatory (since I don’t think anyone’s trying to sell much more than books). So maybe also kinda self help-ish
It definitely does end up integrated into crystals, and there's all sorts of like neo-orgone wackadoo stuff like $5000, meter-tall pyramids made of 1/4 inch copper pipe that are supposed to cure everything and give you boundless energy if you sleep with your pillow and head in it.
