I decided today that I need to expand my interests. I need a distraction and a way to open some creativity. Something to take my mind off waiting for something in my life to happen. So I looked up sacred geometry.
I don’t know much about it. My mother had this book, which she absolutely loved and always tried to get me interested in, but it just didn’t grab me. It was called The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life. We gave away all her books when we moved her out of her house. I could kick myself now, but live and learn, and well, if you’re not ready, you’re just not ready.
I don’t know if I’m ready now, but if I had that book, I would have been looking through it. Instead, I used my curiosity to ask the Universe to channel this week’s blog. Here’s my question and subsequent answer:
Q: How does sacred geometry fit into spirituality? Does knowledge of this “art” enhance our well-being in some or any way?
A: And now to the crux of all of creation. Order from chaos, patterns, symmetry. Once you understand and can grasp the concept that the Universe has order, has a pattern, and has symmetry, you can start to understand that nothing—and we mean nothing—is random.
You see chaos, disorder, disease, destruction. We say look again. There is beauty, there is love, there is becoming. Nature itself and the Universe look destructive on their way to becoming.
A flower grows, it reaches for the sun, it expands; its buds are contained until they burst open, and voilà, beauty. The beauty maintains until it recycles itself, producing seeds for future growth or fertilization. That’s the way of nature.
Humans are the same. They are born, they grow (literally from a seed), they become buds, being fed through various means of water and nutrition, learning, and then the goal: Bloom! Open up! Open yourself up to the beauties that you are! Your life, the experience of your life, produces fertilization for future lives.
So, that analogy speaks to the order of things.
On the world stage, on the ground level, you see and are participants in what appears to be chaos. And from your perspective, it is chaos. But there is a much bigger picture in the Universe. The expansion we have touched on in previous answers. The Universe is growing, reaching, expanding.
From the seed of the big bang of creation, from chaos, the Universe is learning, expanding, stretching, growing, and this is done through experience.
Why do some flowers not reach fruition? Do not reach the stage of bloom? Too much water, too much sun, bad soil? They wither and die. But other blooms make it. The floral species will grow through trial and error. Next year’s seed, which has fallen, will be stronger and grow again.
It’s a metaphor, an analogy. The flowers are one tiny part of nature, of the Earth, of your home planet. But all of life has the same pattern.
All life starts from a seed; an actual seed or the seed of a thought. All seeds are then watered and grow. Some come to fruition, some bloom, some die on the vine, and the Universe learns and grows. With each life, with each death, there is learning, there is expansion. It is not random. It makes sense to the Universe.
And you, souls on Earth, have each chosen to be part of the whole picture. To play out your roles, individually, in community and culturally, to grow the Universe. For expansion. So that the Universe will bloom. You are each feeding the Universe’s soul with your individual experiences, and with your individual experiences as part of the collective experiences.
Nothing is random. There is no chaos. There is only growth.
So, these patterns you are questioning, the symmetry of circles and squares—what makes them sacred? The exactness of the geometry. Patterns. It’s about patterns.
Think of the pattern of DNA, the patterns in a flower, and the same pattern seen in the galaxy, and you will start to understand that there is a connection, which deepens your understanding of the Universe. Understanding that connectedness is what makes the sacred. The understanding of the connection, the sequence that runs through all of creation.
Circles and squares, triangles, lines, all are interconnected. It’s a diagram. All the shapes are interconnected. The circles touch each other, the triangles encompass the circles, are part of the squares, and the interconnect.
Think about life. Let’s say your life is one of the lines from top to bottom. Yet this line grows/goes through a circle, a triangle, a square; it intersects with other lines, but it never wavers. It reaches its destination. Does the drawing look like chaos? Or does it look like perfection? What is your perception of it?
Sacred geometry depicts the perfection of life amidst the chaos, or what appears to be chaos, but in reality is completion, exactness. This is the nature of the Universe. The sacredness of the Universe. The lines are not wavy, they are exact. They are connections to the whole. Part of the design. You are all part of the design, interconnected to form perfection.
Accepting that the Universe is perfect as designed, that chaos is not chaos but expansion, and that growth is the purpose, the purpose of everything that exists—that’s sacred. Growth is the purpose of the Universe, the purpose of your existence, and the purpose of a seed. Growth. You can’t get it wrong.
The Universe is perfection.
