Geometry Of The Universe And The Spirit
Ever wondered and questioned why certain things take a particular shape? Did you know that it is through the understanding of spiritual geometry that we've constructed geometry the way it exists today? What then is spiritual geometry?
Spiritual geometry is a concept that encompasses the entire universe. By way of studying patterns in the universe, humans were able to understand scores of other concepts and patterns that nature follows, including even the most basic phenomena of day and night.
We've all studied theoretical geometry back in school and have subsequently been able to relate it with our outside world. Some of us go on to choose careers that are dominated by shapes and structures. Going outside the purview of shapes and patterns created by humans, this with due reference to buildings and other forms of man-made structures, let us look at cases where geometry has proven to be a fundamental element of existence and how we know geometry as it exists today.
Before we humans came up with techniques to construct buildings and objects by means of a certain degree of knowledge on shapes and structures, we used to look at nature for patterns and shapes. Right from the time our most distant ancestors set foot on this wonderful planet, we have looked around us - the trees, smaller plants, water bodies, landforms and space. This form of geometry, referred to as spiritual geometry, encompasses the entire universe everything follows a set pattern. Let us now delve into the major sources of spiritual geometry.
Mandals:
Mandalas
are
mostly
associated
with
Hinduism
and
Buddhism.
These
were
basically
places
of
worship
for
followers
of
Buddhism
or
Hinduism.
Mandals
contain
religious
inscriptions,
texts,
drawings
and
patterns.
They
speak
a
great
deal
about
astronomy
and
various
other
aspects
related
to
geometry.
They
also
elaborate
the
function
and
purpose
of
the
existence
of
the
spiritual
plane.
While
developing
designs,
monks
in
mandalas
go
into
a
deep
meditative
state
to
make
accurate
their
interpretation
of
geometry
of
the
universe
and
the
spirit.
Art
Forms:
Artists
are
perhaps
the
best
people
who
can
perfectly
elucidate
spiritual
geometry
through
their
works.
Art
is
easily
one
of
the
major
sources
of
spiritual
geometry.
Art
works
of
some
of
the
greatest
ancient
artists
have
given
us
a
clear
picture
of
how
we
as
humans
understood
shapes
and
patterns.
For instance, the triangle, one of the most basic yet most essential geometrical pattern was used to construct the pyramids of Egypt. The triangle perfectly explains how a line in a single dimension can give rise to a dimensional plane, all being part of the same figure. The pyramids are nothing but the three dimensional manifestation of the triangle, a product of geometry of the universe and the spirit.
The
Middle
East:
Spiritual
artists
have
come
up
with
fabulous
shapes
to
beautify
and
embellish
places
of
worship.
It
goes
without
saying
that
spiritual
geometry,
as
also
found
mentioned
in
the
Koran,
influenced
thought
and
ideas
that
eventually
led
to
the
construction
of
incredible
buildings
and
monuments.
Sacred
Christian
Geometry:
Ancient
Christians
employed
spiritual
geometry
in
their
religious
texts.
They
were
also
of
the
understanding
that
it
was
the
intuitive
interpretation
of
the
universe's
beauty
that
led
them
to
come
up
with
profound
shapes
and
patterns.
Food for thought:
Did you know that leaves of plants take a particular shape so that the absorption of sunlight is optimal? Do you know that all the galaxies follow a particular pattern? Did you also know that the patterns come from the Fibonacci Sequence?
