“The truly great teacher indeed does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, rather he leads you to the threshold of your own mind.”

Khalil Gibran.

Anyone can draw a geometric form and it is just geometry; but when you relate spirit, consciousness, or divinity to geometry, you’re creating Sacred Geometry. Therefore, Sacred Geometry uses geometric models to help us understand the evolution of consciousness and the divine nature of human beings and the physical world. Through these models, we can learn to tangibly understand our own divine nature and creation itself.

Sacred geometry is the study of geometric forms and their metaphorical relationships to human evolution as well as a study in fluid evolutionary transitions of mind, emotions, spirit, and consciousness reflected in the succeeding transition from one sacred geometric form and its related consciousness state, into another.

Another reason that Sacred Geometry is important and relevant to us today is because it reflects the fractal and holographic natures of consciousness. Fractals, found in nature, are self-similar patterns that repeat in both the small and large scale. The phrase “as above, so below” is an expression of a fractal reality that points to the truth of our divine nature being reflected in a physical reality, even if we have not yet learned to recognize or embrace it.

It is this ability of Sacred Geometry to model and reflect these important characteristics of consciousness that have captivated mystics, philosophers, and shamans all over the world since ancient times. They have been attempting to answer the age old questions, “How did the diversity within the physical world seemingly come from ‘nothing?'” and, “Is there a hidden pattern or template on a quantum level that organizes reality?” These questions invariably lead to, “What is the nature of consciousness?”

By drawing sacred geometry models, learning about these unseen patterns, and seeing the universe reflected in physical reality on small and large scales, we can begin to intuit our place in the cosmos as being an intricate piece of a very large “puzzle.” Through the awareness of sacred geometry we come to see the paradox of separation and unity as being two expressions of the Whole — always pointing us back to the Divinity of creation that is within us waiting to be recognized.

“Understanding the simple truths of Sacred Geometry leads to an evolution of consciousness and an opening of the heart that is a next step in the process of human evolution.”

“Sacred geometry is an ancient science, a sacred language, and a key to understanding the way the Universe is designed. It is the study of shape and form, wave and vibration, and moving beyond third dimensional reality. It is the language of creation, which exists as the foundation of all matter, and it is the vehicle for spirit. It has been called the “blueprint for all creation,” the “harmonic configuration of the Soul,” the “divine rhythm which results in manifest experience.”

“Nature’s designs are best suited to their particular purpose. By recognizing and understanding them we can interpret nature’s problem-solving strategies in that situation. Nature’s forms are the most practical and functional and most efficient in terms of space, materials, energy, and time. Nature’s patterns teach us how to get the most from the least. All nature’s forms undergo continual transformation. Every process strives for balance, harmony, and wholeness. Geometry reveals the process through which harmony comes about….. Symbolic mathematics provides a map of our own inner psychological and sacred spiritual structure. But studying number properties and intellectually knowing the road map, the symbolism, is not the same as actually taking the journey. We take that journey by finding within ourselves the universal principle these properties represent and by applying the knowledge to our own growth. We pay attention to paying attention, in imageless awareness, directing sustained attention to that which the symbols refer to within us. When the lessons of symbolic or philosophical mathematics seen in nature, which were designed into religious architecture or art, are applied functionally (not just intellectually) to facilitate growth and transformation of consciousness, then mathematics is rightly called sacred.”
