We talked about Paul’s book, Great Spirit of Yosemite – The Story of Chief Tenaya, and my recent publication, Gerbert’s Book. the YouTube Link follows: https://youtu.be/fWyPiHKZmjw

In September of the year, we will launch Volume Three of our Universal Geometry of Mind series, the keystone to this work. It will present this Geometry in both text and diagrams. In order to make this case it defines thought and connects this Geometry to human meaning. A fourth volume, the final in the series, will follow.  

January 24, 2020 – – Introducing!!    The next in our Geometry of Universal Mind series. Volume Two, the second of four volumes concerning the author’s ground-breaking insights on Geometry, Mind, and Meaning, complete with diagrams. This volume concerns different aspects of modern science that will bear on this geometry, which will be presented in a more complete form in Volume Three.                                                                                                   and…                                                                                                                                                             Gerbert’s Book, a biographical novel about the French Benedictine monk, Gerbert, who, in the years just prior to 1000 AD, brought the best of Islamic culture, including Arabic numerals, to the west. Gerbert eventually became Pope Sylvester II and, with Otto III, ruled Christendom during tumultuous years following the first millennium.
