A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe

The universe was built with ten numbers, five shapes, and one principle. Michael Schneider shows you how to see it.

A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe is the most accessible and visually rich introduction to sacred geometry available — a book that takes the Pythagorean tradition seriously without requiring a mathematics degree. Schneider moves through the numbers one to ten, revealing the geometric and philosophical principles encoded in each, and showing how they appear in nature, art, architecture, and the human body.

Inside:

• The monad through the decad — each number as a geometric and philosophical principle
• How natural forms (flowers, shells, crystals, bodies) embody mathematical ratios
• Sacred geometry in ancient temples, Gothic cathedrals, and modern design
• Hands-on constructions and visual demonstrations throughout
• The relationship between number, form, and meaning

Genuinely accessible. Genuinely deep. The ideal starting point for anyone new to sacred geometry — and a pleasure to revisit at any level.
