SIPS - Leonardo Da Vinci

What if the world’s most famous masterpieces are hiding a "very secret science" in plain sight?

Leonardo da Vinci is the ultimate Renaissance Man—an inventor, scientist, and artist whose works like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper are the most recognized in human history. But beyond his brushstrokes lies a hidden dimension of reality that has remained largely overlooked for five centuries.

In Secrets in Plain Sight: Leonardo da Vinci, filmmaker and author Scott Onstott pulls back the curtain on the geometric blueprint used by the Grandmaster. Through a meticulous analysis of Leonardo’s paintings and drawings, Onstott reveals a consistent, underlying structure based on the Divine Proportion (Phi)—a mathematical constant that Leonardo used to anchor not just the physical beauty of his subjects, but their spiritual essence.

Inside this visually stunning investigation, you will discover:

The Hidden Grid: How Leonardo used golden rectangles and spirals to compose his most famous works, from the Vitruvian Man to the recently authenticated Salvator Mundi.
The Third Eye Connection: Why Leonardo consistently used geometric divisions to point toward the "illumined eye," signaling a bridge between the physical and the divine.
The "Leonardeschi" Legacy: Evidence that Leonardo’s secret science was passed down to his students and contemporaries like Botticelli and Michelangelo.
As Above, So Below: How the same proportions found in Leonardo’s art mirror the structure of DNA, the dimensions of the Earth and Moon, and the very scale of the cosmos.

Leonardo once said, "The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding." This book is an invitation to move from the class of "those who do not see" to "those who see when they are shown."

Secrets in Plain Sight: Leonardo da Vinci begins with a brief but powerful summary of the incredible achievements and ongoing importance of Leonardo himself (1452–1519). He then explains the concept of the divine proportion (the golden ratio, the proportion of which is designated by the Greek letter phi) and its mysterious qualities — with accompanying diagrams and labeled illustrations that should make its properties more understandable than perhaps any discussion of the golden ratio that you have encountered before. The discussion reveals the mysterious, unchanging, infinite, and self-contained properties of the divine proportion, and why and how it conveys aspects of what we might call the Infinite Realm, the Divine Realm, the Invisible Realm. As you open your eyes to what is being presented, you will realize that phi does not just point us towards the Infinite: in many ways it actually manifests the Infinite Realm in itself, and impresses it upon our deeper understanding. Scott then presents stunning evidence that demonstrates convincingly, beyond any doubt, that Leonardo da Vinci incorporated this divine ratio — and its unfolding in the infinitely self-generating golden rectangles and the golden spiral that they create — into his art, over and over again, and with a degree of precision that indicates he knew exactly what he was doing. But why? Clearly, the golden ratio resonates powerfully with us — our own bodies, and many aspects of the universe around us (perhaps every aspect of the universe around us), exhibit the golden ratio or phi on nearly every level. The illustrations in Scott's book must be seen to be fully appreciated.

I would suggest that a physical copy belongs on the shelf of every library, public or private, home or university or high school.

Wow! What a truly enlightening book. It’s easy to imagine how Leonardo DaVinci had a profound revelation when he understood the magnificence of the golden ratio, and took a humble and grateful knee of appreciation thanking God for an understanding that inspired him throughout his life. The human mind was never meant to be a vessel to be extinguished, but to be ignited to unlock the mind of God. What is amazing is that the ‘symbols’ of this enlightenment are all around us, but very few of us see them. The book starts with a quick dissertation on DaVinci and the Divine Proportion, and then showcases how this was incorporated into the paintings of the great master, with analysis and discussion. Truly revelatory! I am so intrigued by the genius in this that I’m definitely going to purchase other books by this author.
Have the ability to expand your mind and your horizons. For that brief moment you will open yourself to options you would never have considered. That is the exploration that awaits you, charting the unknown possibilities of existence, like Star Trek.
