Divine Mechanics - Sacred Geometry


 There's no better way to understand the Divine nature of Creation, than to simply observe the world around us.  This infinite canvas of existence has been painted with inumerable colors, lines, patterns, and shapes...a true harmony expressed in every intricate detail through both symmetry and abstract form.  From the smallest particle to the most vast expanse of universe, we witness a Holy order where even chaos is made beautiful.  One of the most important principles of this God-creation is the utilization of math in form.  Sacred geometry is defined as the mathematical principles applied in nature according to the Divine Plan of Creation.


From the logarithmic spiral of the nautilus shell to the hexagonal construct of the honeycomb, this perfection of design can be see almost everywhere. For example, let us observe the smallest unit of matter that we are aware of- the atom. It has a central sun, the nucleus, and maintains electrons held in orbit by an electromagnetic field.  Of course, we note the similar behavior of planets held in orbit by gravity.  Not only is creation a cloning and multiplication process of form but also function.

An important thing to note is that the atom itself essentially takes on our most raw and basic yet pure shape, the Sphere.  The sphere is much more than a simple ball shape, it's  the beginning of any point and embodies all other shapes perfectly within.  A common belief is that our very soul is actually the shape of a sphere.  Dr. Edward Bach, founder of Bach Flower Remedies, provides a very interesting and informative video explaining all of this, here.  From the sphere itself comes our knowlege of the circle and the line and following that, we dive into the concepts of the the square root of 2 and the golden ratio. From this we explore the divine construct of the spiral and more, reaching a profound knowledge once we've understood the mathematical principles that demonstrate eternal flow, as shown in the torus. A brief analysis of each of these forms and more can be found here.  To learn more about the knowledge of the sacred geometry and how it has been applied throughout the ages, in both nature and in architecture, please view the video shown below.
