THE UNLIKELY CARTOGRAPHER

Sacred Geometry: Philosophy & Worldview book cover
"The Unlikely Cartographer" is like Interstellar meets Siddhartha with elements of Contact, but through the lens of The Theory of Everything. 
It follows a differently-abled explorer who, navigating life with only one complete limb, transcends physical constraints to decode the geometric language of the universe—discovering that his unique embodied experience becomes the very key that unlocks profound insights about consciousness, revealing how our variably-abled human forms are all instruments playing in the same cosmic symphony.

Redrawing Reality: A New Map for Meaning in an Age of AI

What if the person best equipped to chart a new course for our understanding of reality was someone who never expected to be a map-maker? Scott Onstott, born with an unconventional physical blueprint that demanded a lifetime of adaptation, became just that – an unlikely cartographer for a world desperately seeking new ways to navigate its complex and rapidly changing terrain.

This intimate and profound narrative invites you on Scott's extraordinary journey. From the physical challenges that forged his resilience to the intellectual explorations that expanded his mind, discover how a path marked by difference led to a revolutionary understanding of consciousness, the cosmos, and our interconnected place within it. Follow him as he moves through the worlds of engineering, architecture, art, and ancient wisdom, piecing together clues from geometry, science, and personal experience to draw a "new map" of reality.

In an age where artificial intelligence and societal shifts are redrawing our known world, traditional sources of meaning often feel inadequate. "The Unlikely Cartographer" offers more than just a unique life story. It provides a fresh perspective on consciousness, unveiling it not as a byproduct of matter, but as the fundamental ground of all existence. It illuminates the "patterns that connect" us to a universe that is intelligent and whole, often revealed through the timeless language of geometry. Most importantly, it offers tools for finding enduring meaning beyond external roles, by learning to align with deeper truths and co-create with a "thinking universe," fostering hope and resilience as we navigate our evolving world.

Join Scott Onstott as he shares the map born from his unique life – a map that can help us all decode the mysteries of our existence and find our way with greater clarity, wonder, and purpose in a world urgently in transition. This concise yet deeply insightful book is an invitation to see anew, guided by a voice that has truly learned to chart its own course.

People love these books

If anyone else has done or is doing what Scott Onstott has accomplished with Sacred Geometry in any contemporary sense, I am not aware of it. The book is an essential piece of reading for anyone interested in the subject of sacred geometry. For beginners, it's the perfect place to start as a primer; for advanced students, it's a refreshing place to rethink ideas and reevaluate preconceived notions. Several great thinkers have written about sacred geometry over the most recent decades -- John Michell and Keith Critchlow being two prime examples -- however, nearly all have started somewhere in the middle of it all, assuming that their readers are already versed in the subject. On the other hand, Onstott starts at square one, which is helpful for anyone looking to get started without getting lost. With more people worldwide taking interest in the subject -- scholars, artists, architects, and designers (even EMD visual creators!) -- it would be fitting to see this book become the classic it deserves to be.
JIM MILLER
I would have valued this book decades ago had I had access to it. Scott Onstott delves into many of the key aspects of these studies, without the baggage of any particular tradition or source. He purposely avoids belief structures. There is the saying, “Follow the money,” and I would say here, “Follow the geometry!” Scott follows the geometry. His concise method works efficiently to aid other students in their individual quests for knowledge and understanding. Scott explicitly states his journey into sacred geometry “resulted in a different way of thinking about everything,” and articulates this as a compelling alternative worldview and philosophical framework.
RICHARD BRUCE PASCHAL
Many of us have become intuitively awake to nature’s Grand Pattern of order and proportion. Scott’s great contribution reveals this pattern in an explicit and beautiful way. He singlehandedly has mined gold from behind the veil and his contribution to the renaissance of philosophical geometry is simply awe inspiring.

Wow Scott, such a beautiful offering. I listened to one of the videos so far of you reading a portion and was really taken in. Your delivery is as clear as I understand you to be, and it was surprising to see that hearing you read it while I read along was actually very helpful. If I had to pause to absorb an idea I was able to pause and re-read without feeling like I had to scrub back through the video and find the moment that you had read it to repeat it. This is a brilliant use of the technologies available to us [in the m-book version] and I thoroughly applaud your utilization of them.Normal text.
MARIÉN GRACE
A very interesting collection of forms, shapes and numbers representing windows on the hitherto unknown but very intriguing intangible realms of our surrounding reality.
BERT JANSSEN
Definitely a book for those wanting to open their perspective about the physical world and its relation to the mental world.
TIAGO
Like a mathematical Sherlock Holmes, Scott Onstott continues to unveil the Hidden Numeric Codes that construct our World.
MARK GRAY
Scott Onstott continues to impress and inspire. His insights are unique and profound, balanced by his humility and grace, and grounded in undeniable mathematical correspondences. Not only does he present what could easily be dense topics in an easy to understand manner, in doing so, he cuts to the core of his message. The ‘hidden order of the universe’ is a playful mystery that seemingly wants to be found, for, if it is hiding, it is doing so ‘in plain sight’. Looking through the geometrical and mathematical lens Onstott applies to the world, a kaleidoscope of wonder opens before us. His use of example and straight-forward approach make the infinite seem within reach, yet he also frees the science from being dry or stuffy by presenting all of this with a level of beauty and artistry that is rarely attempted, let alone accomplished.

author & co-Founder

Scott Onstott

Scott has taught thousands of students in person and millions online in his career. These experiences, combined with co-hosting workshops where we support concentration, contemplation, and meditation, plus sharing circles—gave him a deep appreciation for the fact that each person can best be reached by varying modes of attention. From these transpersonal experiences, and his experience in building the courseware at SGA, the possibility for a multidimensional book arose.
