"The
practice of Sacred Geometry opens to the mind’s eye an analog of
alternate worlds, higher dimensions representing the ultimate creative
process and an unfolding evolution from Unity to multiplicity, and it
demonstrates the fact that this unfolding on a cosmic scale is governed
by the laws and relations of geometry."
-Randall Carlson

“Ante omnia Punctum exstitit…”
“Before all things were, there was a Point.”
Anonymous, 18th century ‘Le Mystere de la Croix’
Sacred Geometry,
to be fully appreciated and experienced, must be undertaken as a
contemplative, or meditative exercise. From the initial act of putting
pencil or compass point to paper each act of geometry is charged with
meaning. The process of producing the forms, patterns and symbols of
Sacred Geometry should be undertaken as a ritual act, where each line,
curve, shape, gesture or operation takes on a significance far beyond
the mere act itself, and reveals fundamental processes of creativity on a
vast scale and range of phenomenon, from the geometry of atomic and
molecular organization, through the forms and patterns of biological
systems, to the scale of the cosmos itself and the very structure of
Space and Time. Indeed, the emergence of the Universe from the
unknowable and unfathomable void, before the very existence of Time and
Space, was an act of Geometry. It is nothing less than this ultimate
act of Creation which is replicated through the placing of pencil upon
paper and from this point the drawing of a line or arc. From these
simple operations, the Geometrician soon learns to generate an infinite
variety of form and pattern, and is, thereby, following in the footsteps
of Nature herself, such being the indispensable requirement for success
on the Hermetic path.
To ancient masters and teachers geometry
was seen as the definitive Holy Science from which emerged all other
sciences. Masonic author Carl Lundy affirms this status when he says:
“All
science rests upon mathematics, and mathematics is first and last,
geometry… Geometry is the ultimate fact we have won out of a puzzling
universe.”
The presumed requirement on the part of
Plato, the acknowledged greatest Metaphysician of the Hellenic world,
that anyone seeking admission to his academy must be conversant with the
principles of Geometry, affirms the importance of this form of mental
training to anyone desiring to tread the path to Metaphysical Knowledge.
