Publisher's Synopsis
The globalization of the past twenty years or so has anything but provided the global community with a common sense of identity. On the contrary, it seems to have generated further polarization, severe environmental instability, a strongly materialistic orientation and mainly uncertainty and fear of the future. This book, on the basis of a 3000-year old 'cosmic code', demonstrates in a variety of ways that we are indeed all connected through a basic natural principle. It was handed down by the ancient Sumerian Chaldeans and what Pythagoras called 'everything is number', confirmed by Plato and Spinoza each in their own ways. All is geometry, interrelated and indeed relative! The author is of Frisian farmer's origin and lives in Rome, Italy, since 1975. For thirty years he has been working there for the United Nations, in the field of Earth Observation in the context of global Food Security. A keen interest in the interaction between philosophy, science, religion and politics enabled him to make a wide range of observations on the relationship between names, language and numbers. The rather amazing findings of his 'travels' are assembled in this book.
