 Sacred geometric patterns exist all around us - they are the
perfect shapes and patterns that form the fundamental templates
➵for life in the universe. From the Fibonacci sequence to the Golden
Ratio, design patterns can be broken down as a language of numbers
(mathematics) that govern our entire visible and invisible world.

Artists, musicians, and philosophers have long evoked the power of

sacred geometry in their work, from Da Vinci to Pythagoras. It's
quite probable that Mozart employed the Golden Ratio for his
musical compositions. The sacred spiral (Fibonacci sequence), for
➵instance, is inherent in everything from a simple pine cone, to a snail
shell, to the human body, to the Great Pyramids at Giza. Plato's
solids (platonic shapes) are said to form the basis for every design
in the universe, even down to a molecular scale.

Many teachings have described Sacred Geometry as the blueprint

of creation and the genesis, the origin of all form. Sacred geometry
is considered an ancient science that explores and explains the
energy patterns that create and unify all things and reveals the
precise way that the energy of creation organizes itself. It is said
➵ that every natural pattern of growth or movement comes back to
one or more geometric shapes.

The molecules of our DNA, the cornea of our eye, snowflakes,

flower petals, crystals, a shell, the stars, the galaxy we spiral
within, the air we breathe, and all life forms are created out of
geometric codes.

In 1596, the mathematical astronomer Johannes Kepler modelled
the universe as a set of nested Platonic solids, determining the
relative sizes of the orbits of the planets.

It is interesting to note that Genesis in the Bible essentially
‣
describes the same process I'm about to show you. However it should
be known that this knowledge is most likely taken from the ancient
Egyptian mystery schools and it is not original to the bible.

In the beginning, there was an infinite void or complete emptiness. A

space with zero dimensions and no time. The first creation started
‣
when nature, god, spirit or whichever term you prefer projected
itself in all six directions, starting from a single point.

In this depiction nothing material has been created, only imaginary

lines that represent pure consciousness expanding out front, back,
‣
left, right, up and down.

To define boundaries in space all that needs to be done is connect

the end of each point to every other point. The beauty of this is that
‣
you cannot make a mistake, it is simply impossible. Once all the ends
are connected we have what is called an octahedron, which if viewed
from the correct perspective reveals a hexagram, also known as the
Star of David. Now that boundaries have been created, relative
movement within the void are possible; where as previously
consciousness had nothing to move relative to.

In the Bible, Eve was supposedly created from Adam's Rib - when you
‣
compare this story to the next step in the process you can begin
appreciating the idea that maybe the Bible is only an exoteric
recreation of older esoteric wisdom.

The octahedron is made up of perfectly straight lines. In sacred

‣
geometry straight lines are considered to be male and curved lines
female. The next step in the process involves spinning the octahedron
in one full rotation around each of the axes defined previously. Again
it is impossible to make a mistake in this step. The end result will
always be that the parameters of a perfect sphere have been traced.
Now we have a fully female shape. Eve has now been created from
Adam.
Vesica Piscis is a mathematical shape formed by
intersecting two identical circles so that the center of
each circle intersects the perimeter of the other. The
vesica piscis is commonly used for Venn Diagrams and in
various art and in seals organizations.
The Seed of Life is a universal symbol that also
represents the seven days of creation. It is found in all of
the major religions and can be seen in many sites around
the world, such as churches, mosques, prayer books and
ancient temples. The two dimensional projection of the
seed of life contains seven overlapping circles. It has been
used for centuries as a symbol of blessing and protection.
The Flower of Life was known around the world in
ancient times and has been found in Ireland, Turkey,
Egypt, Greece, China, Israel, Germany, England, Tibet,
Japan and Sweden. The typical depiction Flower of Life
always stops after 19 circles, the remaining circles are
hidden outside the bounds of the outer circle. In the past
this image and knowledge related to the Flower of Life was
so sacred that they couldn't allow it to become common
knowledge. Out of the complete Flower of Life pattern a
new shape emerges; the The Fruit of Life. The Flower of
Life is said to be the actual blueprint of the universe
continuing the basic design of every atomic and molecular
structure, life form, etc;
Meratron’s Cube One of the
most fascinating aspects of
sacred geometry is the symbol
known as Metatron's Cube.
Metatron's Cube traces back to
nature's first pattern, and the
13 circles that are found inside
the fourth circle in Nature's
first pattern. When you
connect the centers of all the
13 circles, you get the shape
known as Metatron's Cube.
The Merkaba Symbol (also spelled Merkabah) translates
to light, spirit, body. The symbol consists of 2 intersecting
tetrahedrons that rotate in opposite directions, this
creates an energy field that is commonly referred to as a
light body. In modern esoteric teachings, the Merkaba is
considered an interdimensional vehicle. It is also known as
a star tetrahedron and can be imagined as a 3-dimensional
Star of David.

THE PLANTONIC SOLIDS

Many of the ancient traditions were
fascinated by a science of simple 3
dimensional geometric shapes, that
were originally discovered by Plato (who
invented school). The most advanced
hyper dimensional models, that
scientists are trying to build
multidimensional in the Universe you
can see the Platonic Solids show up
frequently, because they know that in
order to build higher dimensions you
need a lot of symmetry. There are five
platonic solids: the tetrahedron,
octahedron, hexahedron, the
icosahedron and the dodecahedron.
What makes these shapes so special is
that the faces, angles and edges are all
congruent and that each one can fit
perfectly inside a sphere with all the
corners touching. There are no other
shapes in existence that can satisfy
these parameters.
 THE GOLDEN SPIRAL & FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

Fibonacci Sequence
In mathematics, the Fibonacci
numbers, commonly denoted Fn form
a sequence, called the Fibonacci
sequence, such that each number is
the sum of the two preceding ones,
starting from 0 and 1.
That is f0 = 0 , f1 = 1
Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2
For n>1
The sequence starts: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5,
8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ...
Golden Ratio

The "golden ratio" is a unique

mathematical relationship. Two
numbers are in the golden ratio if
the ratio of the sum of the
numbers (a b) divided by the
larger number (a) is equal to the
ratio of the larger number divided
by the smaller number (a/b).
A golden rectangle with long side a
and short side b adjacent to a The Golden ratio =
square with sides of length a 1.618
produces a similar golden rectangle
with long side a + b and short side a.
This illustrates the relationship

Warli painting is a style of
tribal art mostly created by
the tribal people from the
North Sahyadri in
Maharashtra, India. This
range encompasses cities such
as Dahanu, Talasari, Jawahar,
Palghar, Mokhada, and This form of art is the

originated in Maharashtra, The Warli culture is
where it is still practiced centered on the concept of
today. Mother Nature and elements
The word "Warli” comes of nature are often focal
from the word "Warla” points depicted in Warli
which means “piece of land” painting.

In the 1970s, this ritual art

took a radical turn when Jivya
Somha Mashe and his son Balu
Mashe started to paint. They
painted not for ritual purposes,
but because of their artistic
pursuits. Jivya is known as the
modern father of Warli
painting. Since the 1970s, Warli
painting has moved onto paper
and canvas. Coca-Cola India
launched a campaign featuring
Warli painting in order to
highlight the ancient culture
and represent a sense of
togetherness.
 Scared Geometry In Warli Painting
These rudimentary Wall paintings use a
set of basic geometric shapes: a circle,
a triangle, and a square. These shapes
are symbolic of different elements of
nature. The circle and the triangle
come from their observation of nature.
The symbolism in Warli art represents
the circle of life. The triangle
symbolizes mountain and trees. The
square indicates a sacred enclosure for
the mother goddess, symbolizing
fertility, while the circle represents
the sun and the moon. The upward
facing triangle in a Warli painting
represents the male while the
downward facing triangle represents
the female.
Square is majorly used to
represent humans and their
inventions, or to represent the
indication of land. Uses of lines
and dots is also prevalent to
represent various other parts of
themselves and their
surroundings.Festivals and
dances are common scenes
depicted in the ritual paintings.
People and animals are
represented by two inverse
triangles joined at their tips:
the upper triangle depicts the
torso and the lower triangle the
pelvis.
