Overview of Sacred Geometry Across Ancient Cultures

Hopefully, by the end of this series, you will have a fair understanding of what Sacred Geometry is, how it was important to different cultures, and why it is considered a key to understanding the universe and the divine. We'll explore how geometry isn't just math, but can be a very powerful spiritual tool as well.

Imagine for a moment that the world is not just random but instead has an underlying order—almost like a blueprint. That blueprint, which has been used by ancient cultures all over the world, is made up of shapes, patterns, and numbers that seem to appear everywhere in nature. This is what we call Sacred Geometry.

Now, you might ask: “Why ‘sacred’? Isn’t geometry just math?” Well, ancient civilizations didn’t just see these patterns as math—they saw them as something deeper, something connected to the divine or the spiritual nature of life. Sacred Geometry is believed to represent the building blocks of the universe, showing how everything is connected. It’s like the hidden code of creation.

Sacred Geometry teaches that by understanding these shapes and forms, we can gain insight into the order of the universe, how things work, and even our own spiritual journeys. This is why it was so important in many ancient cultures—because it was considered a key to understanding not just the physical world, but also the spiritual realm.

Now, let's explore how different ancient cultures used Sacred Geometry. Each civilization applied it in its own way, but the underlying belief was the same: these shapes and patterns weren't just useful for building things, they held spiritual meaning and could connect us to something greater.

Ancient Egypt

Let's start with one of the most famous ancient civilizations. The Egyptians were masters of geometry, and we see this clearly in their architecture–especially in the pyramids.

The Pyramids of Giza are not just incredible monuments; their construction follows geometric principles that reflect cosmic harmony. For example, the dimensions of the Great Pyramid are believed to contain the Golden Ratio—a special number, about 1.618, which appears in nature all the time. It’s in the way flowers grow, the shape of seashells, even in the spirals of galaxies. The Egyptians believed that using this ratio in their buildings connected their structures to the universe’s natural order.

But geometry wasn't just about the physical buildings. It was also tied to their spiritual beliefs. The Egyptians believed that the pyramids aligned with the stars, especially the constellation Orion, which was associated with their god Osiris, the god of the afterlife. So, for them, these geometric shapes and alignments helped the pharaoh's ascend to the heavens.

Another example is the Eye of Horus, a symbol of protection and royal power. Interestingly, the segments of the Eye of Horus can be broken down into fractions, symbolizing parts of a whole. This wasn’t just math to the Egyptians—it was sacred, representing completeness and the all-seeing divine.

Ancient Greece

Now, moving on the the Greeks, who are well-known for their philosophy and mathematics, geometry had a special place in their understanding of the universe.

One of the most important contributions from ancient Greece to Sacred Geometry is the concept of the Platonic Solids. These are five geometric shapes that are incredibly special because all their faces, edges, and angles are identical. These shapes are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. The philosopher Plato associated these shapes with the classical elements—fire, earth, air, water, and ether (or spirit). For the Greeks, these solids were the building blocks of the material world.

Pythagoras, another key figure, saw geometry as the key to understanding the universe. He believed that numbers were sacred and that geometry showed the harmony in the world. One of his most famous ideas was the Tetractys, a triangular shape made up of ten points, arranged in four rows. Pythagoras saw this shape as a representation of cosmic order and perfection, showing how everything in the universe was interconnected.

To the Greeks, studying geometry wasn’t just an intellectual pursuit; it was a spiritual practice. By understanding the perfect forms in geometry, they believed they were uncovering the perfect forms of the divine, leading them to greater spiritual wisdom.

Hinduism and Buddhism

Here, we see the use of mandalas and yantras. Mandalas are intricate, geometric designs that are often circular, symbolizing the universe. If you’ve ever seen a mandala, you know that it’s full of repeating patterns that draw the eye toward the center. In both Hinduism and Buddhism, mandalas are used for meditation, guiding a person through a symbolic journey toward the center of the universe, which also represents their own spiritual center. The idea is that by contemplating these patterns, you’re also contemplating the structure of reality.

Yantras, on the other hand, are similar to mandalas but are often simpler and more specific. A famous example is the Sri Yantra, a complex pattern of triangles within a circle. This pattern represents the union of the divine masculine and feminine, and is believed to symbolize the creation of the universe itself. People meditate on the Sri Yantra to connect with higher consciousness and spiritual wisdom.

In both of these traditions, geometry isn’t just decoration—it’s a spiritual tool. By focusing on these sacred forms, a person can align their mind with the deeper truths of existence and experience spiritual growth.

The Mayan Civilization

Next, let’s take a look at the Mayans in Central America. The Mayans were incredible astronomers, and they used geometry to create their famous calendar systems.

The Mayan calendar was incredibly complex, and its structure was based on precise geometric patterns that reflected the cycles of the stars, the moon, and the sun. The Mayans believed that time moved in cycles, and that these cycles were part of the natural order of the universe. By using sacred geometry in their calendar, they could keep their activities in harmony with the cosmos.

Just like in Egypt, the Mayans also used geometry in their architecture. Their temples and pyramids, such as the ones at Chichen Itza, were carefully aligned with the movements of the sun and stars. For example, during the spring and autumn equinoxes, the light from the sun creates a shadow on the pyramid steps that looks like a serpent slithering down. This wasn’t just coincidence—it was a carefully designed connection between the earth and the heavens.

For the Mayans, geometry was a way to synchronize their lives with the divine order of the cosmos.

Islamic Culture

Finally, let’s talk about geometry in Islamic culture. In Islamic art and architecture, you’ll see some of the most intricate and beautiful examples of geometric patterns in the world.

One of the key principles in Islamic art is the use of repeating geometric patterns, often based on stars, circles, and interlocking shapes. These patterns are found everywhere in Islamic culture—in mosques, palaces, mosaics, and textiles. But they’re not just for decoration. These patterns are deeply symbolic.

In Islam, it’s believed that God is infinite and unknowable, and because of that, He cannot be represented in human or animal form in art. Instead, artists use geometry to symbolize the infinite nature of God. By creating these repeating patterns, they show the idea of infinity and the oneness of creation.

The circle, which is a key shape in Islamic geometry, represents the eternal nature of God. Everything in Islamic art often begins with a circle, and from that circle, more complex patterns are created. This symbolizes how everything comes from the divine, and how all creation is interconnected.

End

To wrap up, let’s reflect on what we’ve covered today. Sacred Geometry is a universal language that ancient cultures used to understand the divine and the cosmos. Whether it was the pyramids in Egypt, the mandalas in Hinduism, or the geometric patterns in Islamic art, all these cultures believed that geometry wasn’t just a tool for building things—it was a way to connect with something greater than ourselves.

So, why do you think so many cultures, in different parts of the world, came up with similar geometric symbols? What does this tell us about how humans understand the universe and their place in it? Think about how these shapes might connect to the deeper order of the world.

El descanso 16/01/2024

Ése dulce momento de la gran escalera al cielo, donde sucede lo inevitable: el gozo! Nuestro cuerpo está creado para soportar grandes luchas y extensas batallas dentro del campo de guerra. El físico exterior puede sanar de forma visible y notoriamente, debido al conocimiento que se ha generado a través de todos estos siglos, podemos decir con certeza y toda seguridad: que todo es curable. Sólo si la sanación es lo que se desea. Hay que realmente quererlo. Lo que no implica decírselo al médico de turno, al esposo o esposa, a la familia, o dar el discurso del siglo o hacer como que , y tal. Es al interno, una decisión personalísima. Hay miles de métodos, el mundo no hace más que seguir generando formas y fórmulas que hacen de un proceso mucho más rápido, secillo y efectivo, claro en la medida en que seamos conscientes de ello; no de puede negar la ignorancia tras el velo de la pereza al querer tomar medidas concretas al respecto de la propia salud. Más, la mente es un panorama distinto cuando necesita ser reparada. El sueño con descanso verdadero, proporciona la regeneración de tejidos nerviosos, que van reconectando esas neuronas perdidas en la vida diaria, proceso necesario para reafirmar lo aprehendido, expandir nuestro conocimiento e ir más allá de la consciencia, para adentrarnos en un universo verdaderamente cuantico. Este proceso silencioso y escencial, nos dan la pauta del verdadero dilema sobre el cual trabajar desde que comienza nuestro día.

Pueden haber miles de sueños, o ninguno, pueden haber varios trabajos o labores, o ninguno, pero sin ése norte seguro hacia donde apuntar, no seríamos capaces de desarrollarnos como realmente quisiéramos. Todo objetivo contiene sub metas por traspasar, dificultades de las que aprender, y nuevos destinos a los que recurrir, para que el nervio central de la vida disfrute en plenitud la gracia de estar vivos.

¿De qué me sirve hablarles del REM? Si la mayoría nos remitimos siempre a la banda, el hit a los dulces sueños, o el carisma de lo que apenas recordamos de la escuela. Atravesar el umbral de aquellos, para tampoco quedarnos estancados allí mismo, es un delirio que pocos comprenderán.

Me había despojado de ellos, tanto en físico como en abstracciones. Es decir, unos años logré dejar de soñar, y en cambio otros vuelvo a hacerlo. Sólo que está vez, debía aprender a olvidarlos de nuevo. Cuando deseas descubrir los patrones más arraigados del mismo ser, para separar tus propias malas yerbas de las flores silvestres, a menudo nos encontramos rodeandonos de excusas, esas creencias limitantes que impiden el crecimiento del tronco principal del gran árbol de la vida. No es sólo aprender a controlar los sueños, el estado de vigilia, tu cuerpo mente espíritu y reacciones, no es sólo evitar contestar un golpe y dar la otra mejilla, pero maldecir para los adentros y cultivar la ira desde la rabia la impotencia la envidia o cualquier otro patrón aún más sutil y severo, de engaño personal. Nos estamos mintiendo a nosotros mismos, y terminamos creyendo nuestras propia historia. Con la triste realidad, que fue en una frecuencia incorrecta o más bien, no recomendable para el desarrollo personal. Heme aquí hablando de las frecuencias y los patrones vibracionales, puesto que responden a un órden mayor, el de la propia naturaleza de la existencia, la globalizada vida.

Eso que todos llaman Geometría Divina... ahora les suena? Es exactamente eso. Se sabe por experimentación científica (esto lo pueden comprobar cada uno en su casa) que las emociones negativas contienen un patrón irregular de resonancia. Es decir, que si lo estamos sintiendo, al rededor, y a través de todo lo que nos rodea (porque somos antenas de carne) estamos expandiendo esa frecuencia (cuidado con eso) puesto que no armoniza con el entorno, creando caos y patrones de reververancia aún más distorsionados. Me explico?

Este mismo dilema es el origen de la empatía, y su importancia a reconocerla. Y la trascendencia a la que nos conduce.

Metatron's Cube in Mystical and Spiritual Tradition

Metatron's Cube is not merely a geometric symbol; it represents divine order and serves as a gateway to deeper understanding of God's creation. Its significance can be traced to its role in traditional mystical practices, particularly in Jewish Kabbalah, where Metatron is a pivotal figure.

A Reflection of Divine Wisdom and Creation

Metatron's cube is thought to reflect the blueprint of the universe, symbolizing the divine structure underlying all creation. In Kabbalistic tradition, the intricate geometry is seen as a visual manifestation of God's creative word. This connects to the idea of the "Speech of God" as the mechanism of creation - "And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." - Genesis 1:3

Metatron's association with sacred geometry links him to the divine Word and wisdom (Chokhmah), which emanates from God to bring order to the cosmos.

The Platonic solids within the Cube correspond to the classical elements (earth, water, air, fire, and ether), which were seen as foundational aspects of creation in ancient philosophy. In Jewish mysticism, these elements symbolize the balance of forces God used to form the material world. This understanding aligns with the Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Formation), a foundational Kabbalistic text that describes how God created the world through letters, numbers, and forms, linking geometry to divine emanation.

Spiritual Practices Rooted in Tradition

Within Jewish mysticism, the visualization of divine symbols is a well-documented practice used to focus the mind and elevate the soul toward God. Meditating on Metatron's Cube, particularly its central point, can represent a seeker's focus on God's unity and centrality. The geometric symmetry is a reminder of God's perfection and the interconnectedness of all creation.

In Kabbalistic prayer, such symbols may serve as a means to align the individual's will with God's will, leading to greater understanding and harmony. This practice reflects the broader mystical aim of cleaving to God (devenkut).

Metatron's Cube has been seen as a symbol of divine protection, as its interconnected lines form an impenetrable shield. In traditional Jewish thought, invoking the names of angels (such as Metatron) was believed to bring God's protection.

The 13 circles in the cube could be interpreted as representing the 13 Attributes of Mercy described in Exodus 34:6-7, a cornerstone of Jewish theology emphasizing God's compassion. Through this lens, the Cube becomes a reminder of God's mercy and safeguarding presence.

Mystical Ascent and Metatron as a Guide

The Tree of Life in Kabbalah is a central mystical diagram that represents the journey from the earthly realm (Malkhut) to the divine source (Keter). Metatron, as the heavenly scribe and mediator, is often viewed as a guide on this spiritual ascent. Mystics seeking to ascend the Tree of Life might invoke Metatron's guidance to navigate the Sefirot, the ten emanations through which God's light flows into creation.

This ascent requires purification and humility, as each step represents a deeper level of spiritual awareness and proximity to God. Metatron's Cube, representing divine harmony, is often seen as a map to understanding the flow of divine energy through the Serfirot.

Metatron's role as a guide is also tied to Merkabah mysticism, a branch of Jewish mysticism focused on visions of the divine chariot described in Ezekiel 1. The chariot represents the throne of God, surrounded by angelic beings. Metatron, as the "Chancellor of Heaven," is said to sit near the throne and assist those seeking to understand its mysteries. Some interpretations suggest that Metatron's Cube reflects the structure of the Merkaba or the chariot, offering insight into the divine order and the journey toward God's presence.

Balancing Reverence and Caution

Traditional mystical teachings often warn that engaging with divine symbols like Metatron's Cube or the Tree of Life requires humility, reverence, and proper preparation. I can testify to this from a personal level as well. Unprepared seekers may risk misunderstanding or misusing these sacred concepts, as warned in the Talmudic story of the four sages who entered Pardes. One died, one went mad, one became a heretic, and only Rabbi Akiva emerged unharmed. This tale serves as a cautionary reminder of the dangers inherent in delving into divine mysteries without proper grounding.

Unlike some modern or New Age interpretations that focus on personal power or manifestation, traditional mystical thought emphasizes surrender to God's will. Metatron's role as a mediator is not to grant power, but to guide seekers toward a deeper relationship with God. The focus remains on aligning oneself with divine order, not on gaining control over creation.

The idea of having to do the work to get closer to God can sometimes be the ego trying to spiritualize itself. Like, who’s the one trying to achieve closeness? The soul already knows. Maybe it’s not about climbing upward, but softening inward.

God isn’t a finish line. It’s presence. It’s here. It’s in us.

I’ve been playing around with these mixed media collages for the past couple of months. They’re filled with maps, scraps, codes, symbols, sketches, poetry, mythology, Rorschach, Fibonacci, numerology, astrology, binary, love, languages, geometry (sacred, or otherwise), that only I know the answers to. All designed to confuse, befuddle, intrigue, delight, but most of all, make you think. Oh, and…
