Sacred Geometry

The universe is created by a thought consciousness which manifests in physical reality through a geometric blueprint that we call Sacred Geometry which repeats in cycle giving the illusion of linear time.

The golden ratio is a number, approximately 1.618, which when considered as a ratio posseses many interesting properties. It was studied by ancient mathematicians due to its frequent appearance in geometry. Shapes defined by the golden ratio have long been considered aesthetically pleasing in western cultures, reflecting nature's balance between symmetry and asymmetry. The ratio is still used frequently in art and design. The golden ratio is also known as proportio divina, sectio aurea, the golden mean, golden section, golden number or divine proportion.

Sacred Geometry in Architecture

The term "sacred geometry" is used by archaeologists, anthropologists, and geometricians to encompass the religious, philosohical, and spiritual beliefs that have sprung up around geometry in various cultures during the course of human history. It is a catch-all term covering Pythagorean geometry and neo-Platonic geometry, as well as the perceived relationships between organic curves and logarithmic curves.
