March 5 - Sacred Geometry

This came up in a conversation today and I didn't know what it was so I went to Google and found out that "Sacred geometry may be understood as a worldview of pattern recognition, a complex system of religious symbols and structures involving space, time and form". I don't agree with the "religious" connection because complex patterns exist in nature by design and religion is a man-made construct.

Pythagoras apparently discovered a relationship between geometry and mathematics to music and he believed that "this gave music powers of healing, as it could "harmonize" the out-of-balance body, and this belief has been revived in modern times".

My understanding is that the planet and everything on it is made up of vibrations of different frequencies. This means that everything, by it's very nature, exists as a pattern of vibration with a mathematical basis. For example, colours have particular vibrations and the visual cortex of the brain interprets those vibrations as the colour they are. Taking this a step further, objects that are vibrational in nature can interact in proximity to one another and affect each other's frequency, so that would be consistent with Pythagoras' theory of harmonizing with music.

The concept that we are vibrational beings is backed up the fact that our thoughts are pulses of energy moving around neural networks. Our ears collect sound vibrations and send them to the hearing processing centre of the brain where they are translated into a recognisable form. Our eyes collect vibrations of light and transmit them to the visual cortex where they are translated into images. If you hold your hand near a heat source you can detect the vibration of the heat energy. Your nose translates the vibration of smells in your vicinity.

Matter, the objects in our environment, the stuff we think of as solid, is not really solid at all if you look at it from the perspective of the atoms that make it up. They're moving around in space in the same way that everything else is.

So where does this fit in with Sacred Geometry? If you take the "worldview of pattern recognition" definition then you can say that we, as universal translaters of vibration, recognise the oscillating patterns that exist in the world around us and have identified and reproduced some particularly pleasing ones, such as the one above.

What do you think?
