From the dawn of civilization, master builders 
understood and used the principles of sacred 
geometry.To this day,the megalithic structures 
of ancient Europe,the Pyramids, mosques, 
temples,and other sacred places has stood the 
test of time.Given the tools at that period, 
it is hard to fathom the precision of their
work Around the globe,geometrical expressions 
are evident- from China, South and Central America, 
pre-Columbian North America, Africa, Southeast Asia, Greece and other places in Europe 
and as far away as the Rapa Nui in Easter Islands.

Sacred geometry is the architecture of the universe.It reflects the classical work of a Master 
architect. It has the undertones of a secret spiritual knowledge held and used by different traditions 
and religious beliefs around the world. Robert Gilbert writes that the deeper and hidden meaning 
of sacred geometry and teachings apply this knowledge to areas from healing sciences to spiritual 
initiation, with one initial concept: everything has a pattern, that pattern is the key to all creation 
with its special effects.

An old Masonic lecture from several centuries ago states:
“If we consider the symmetry and order which govern all the works of creation, we 
must admit that geometry pervades the universe. By geometry we may curiously trace nature 
through her various windings to her most concealed recesses; by it we discover how the planets 
move in their respective orbits and demonstrate their various revolutions; by it we account for 
the return of the seasons and the variety of the scenes which each season displays to the 
discerning eye. By it we discover the power, wisdom and goodness of the Grand Artificer of the 
Universe and view with delight the proportions which connect the vast machine."

Sacred geometry is symbolic and its sacred meanings are ascribed to certain geometric shapes 
and certain geometric proportions. In the Far East, math structures were also part and parcel 
of spirituality. Between the first and second millennia B.C., the Chinese developed the I-Ching, 
a mathematical divination system that involved 64 hexagrams (each constructed from eight trigrams) 
made of solid and broken lines. The I-Ching was not intended to predict the future, but to offer 
counsel on the process of change occurring through time.


 



Sacred geometry has fascinated scientists 
thus generating a lot of research and studies. 
Geometrical structures are found around the 
world, in nature, the galaxies and many 
structures.The I-Ching hexes correspond 
to the 64-codon structure of human DNA in 
a more precise way than the spiral 
as earlier studies show.

This ancient knowledge is now part of 20th  century scientific studies- modern science.
The mystery of the great pyramids of Giza has stirred a lot of interest, scientific curiosity 
and archeological surveys. Engineers, mathematicians, geometricians have not really 
come up with the answer as to how this magnificent structure was built to stand the test of 
time given the limited tools that was used at that time. One thing is very evident- the work 
and design is of such  precision that even with today's sophisticated technologies, has not  
been duplicated ( as of latest research).

There are few and unclear answers to many questions. Some researchers agree that the 
most evident tool used for the design was the application of the Golden ratio which proves that 
there was a divine intervention. Was this structure a fingerprint of God? The knowledge of the 
golden ratio was kept secret for thousands of years. Whoever designed the pyramids and guided 
the construction of it allowed no room for even a miniscule error. Fast forward to the 21st century, 
with the widespread spiritual awakening and consciousness, many believe and promote the 
power of cosmic energy.Pyramids are believed to attract cosmic energy, lots of it which permeates 
throughout the structure.

Throughout the centuries, various geometrical forms have been revered as expressions or 
metaphors of higher spiritual truths. These sacred forms and symbols are a natural part of the 
collective consciousness which emerges in every generation. We project them outwardly from 
within our psyche because they are so fundamental to our existence. That apprehension is 
intuitive. Certain typical forms recur in meditation and ceremonial practice, worldwide..spiritualphysics

Cosmic energy is all around us. It is the bond between the galaxies, planets and man. It  occupies 
the space between each and everything. It is the life force of the universe. Plato assigned the 
dodecahedron to the element cosmos since it is different from the other polygons due to its pentagonal 
faces.(mathacademy.com) The Golden ratio is closely associated with cosmic energy.

We receive some cosmic energy in our sleep, total silence and meditation.Various distinct cultural 
and religious traditions postulate the existence of esoteric energies, usually as an essence that 
differentiates living from non-living objects. In the Taoist philosophy, qi, is the energy from breath, 
prana in Hindu belief system or breath of Life given by God to Adam. This energy is closely associated 
with the human soul. Eastern practices such as chi gong or yoga  and martial arts promote the practise 
of developing and increasing the energy channels thus helping focus and opens one to spiritual practise.

According to Jackie Craven,(about.com) sacred geometry, or spiritual geometry, is the belief that 
numbers and patterns such as the divine ratio have sacred significance. Many mystical and spiritual 
practices, including astrology, numerology, tarot, and feng shui begin with a fundamental belief in 
sacred geometry. Architects and designers may draw upon concepts of sacred geometry when they 
choose particular geometric forms to create pleasing, soul-satisfying spaces.
 

Sacred geometry is also evident in Nature. Plants, flowers, trees and terrain present 
intricate patterns and shapes with particular mathematical principles involved. The chambered 
nautilus is observed to grow at a constant rate, the shell thus forms a logarithmic spiral to 
accomodate the growth without changing its shape. Honeybees are another truly fascinating 
study- they construct hexagonal cells to hold their honey. There are many more objects in this 
universe that many believers hold sacred.

 


The  Flower of Life can be found in all major religions of the world. It is believed  to contain the 
patterns of creation as they emerged from the great void.  Everything is made from the Creator's 
thought. After creating the Seed of Life , the same vortx motion continued on to the next structure 
known as the Egg of Life.

The earliest known symbol of spirituality is the spiral. Ancient cave artists scrawled 
simple spirals on the walls of their homes, for reasons which have not been preserved 
in written language, but at which we can guess.  



The spiral is the simplest and most common geometric shape in nature, 
both visibly and invisibly. From conch shells to weather patterns to DNA to 
galaxies to hallucinogenic visions, spirals are omnipresent in nature.It was 
discovered that there were artists among the cave-dweller and their favorite 
figure was the spiral. Some believe there must be some mystical inspiration
in the emergence of spirals in shamanistic, animistic and nature-worshipping cultures.

In the 19th century, mathematicians tried to find the answer to the irrational number
of the golden mean. There was no simple answer. They called these irrational numbers fractals 
which have the ability to reveal massively complex structures when charted. In 1970, 
Benoit Mandelbrot, a mathematician, developed an extensive theory around fractals using 
computers to graph the complex system with stunning results.
 



Fractals are graphs that produce amazingly 
organic shapes of infinite complexity, clearly 
corresponding to natural processes including 
how embryos develop, the growth of plants, 
weather systems, the structure of space and 
time, and just about everything else too. 
The study of these complex systems and the 
relationship between math and life and time soon became a credible school of study, known 
as chaos theory. This by itself  covers a broad subject.

Geometry is closely associated  with mathematics, music, light and cosmology due to its ratios, 
harmonics and proportion. It is this divine proportion that was the foundation of the sacred  structures. 
Arts based on sacred geometry may be ephemeral, such as visualization, sandpainting, medicine 
wheels, mandalas all of which are tools for enlightened awareness. 

Mandala 



This is a very useful tool for spiritual growth and dvelopment. It has not gained that much 
popularity, but perhaps because people don't take the time to try it. The mandala can help 
you to connect with yourself. There are many ways to create a mandala. It offers the chance
for self-expression and discovery.It is believed that the mandala was invented between Buddhism 
and Hinduism. The I--Ching and Mandala was a major step in the concept of Sacred Geometry 
in Eastern religious culture. It presents abstract concepts such as time, higher dimension and higher 
states of consciousness, rather than charting the physical aspect .

The higher dimensional math underlying the structure of the mandala turned out to be reflective 
of the higher dimensional math innovated by Albert Einstein.While it is undeniable that there is an 
elegant wisdom and logic behind the geometric forms that create our world, the divine blue print is 
not one that can be systematically deducted and reduced and indeed was not created to evoke 
logical understanding only.There are much deeper forces connecting the numerous forms which 
create the reality we call human existence..susstudies.com

There are Sacred Geometry oracle decks for anyone interested in getting deeper into this subject. 
There is a unifying force in creation. It is up to us to feel a connection with every living thing around 
us, respect them and spend a few quiet moments alone with nature. There is nothing “unknown” out 
there.There would not be great discoveries if man walked this earth feeling disconnected with this 
wide world. 
Adventurers went out there, not with fear of the unknown but with great expectations of what lies 
ahead, which in their hearts, they know there was a connection.Tragedies came with these explorations,
but look at how far this world has come. Man did not confine himself  to land and sea- space was not 
that far away. Always searching, reaching out further into the deep blue planet (sea), digging deep into 
planet earth, to outer space using tools and technology based on mathematics and geometry. 
The quest never ends.
