  • Drawing sacred geometry can be a meditative ritual. Most of the designs are built off of repetitive shapes/lines and so it can be pretty zen to draw that stuff. Once you draw it you start to understand that it's about creating complex images from simple rules. So it can be said to represent the way small things can cause larger changes. A simple Marxist reading might be to say that the "rules" for generating geometry represent the economic base while the full image shows the superstructure it generates, or something like that.




  • I actually own this book lol. It's good, but there's this epilogue that switches from kid language to, like, high level theory language that I've never been able to get through. I'll also disclaimer that I'm a babby level commie so I'm not going to be like "oh this analogy to the Vietnamese revolution is historically inaccurate" or anything I just liked that it was easy to read and understand for my babby brain.
