Description

The Dimensions of Paradise explores the role of number as a bridge between Heaven and Earth, revealing the numerical code used by ancient cultures to maintain high standards of art and culture. This book delves into the alchemical formulas for the fusion of elements and the numerical origins of various sacred names and numbers.

John Michell's research uncovers the rediscovery of knowledge associated with the Holy Grail, demonstrating how the influence of the Heavenly Order is made active on Earth. The book examines the geometrical canon preserved by ancient Egyptian priests, which applied to music, art, statecraft, and the institutions of their civilization.

Michell reveals how the same numerical code underlies sacred structures from ancient times to the Christian era, including the measurements of Stonehenge, the foundation plan of Glastonbury, and the Heavenly City of the New Jerusalem. This book presents a structure of geometry and number representing the essential order of the heavens, functioning as a map of paradise.
