Language of creation: An introduction to the sacred language of geomtetry

Sacred Geometry is referred to as the blueprint of creation — the language that the universe uses to communicate and express itself. From the spiral of a galaxy to the whirl of a sunflower, from ancient temples to the Jaco bean cells in our body, Sacred Geometry lets us glimpse an underlying order beneath all creation. It is not only mathematics or art, it is a blend of science, spirituality and nature that reminds us all life is interconnected through patterns and proportions – as above so below.

What Is Sacred Geometry?

At its center, sacred geometry is the study of proportions, shapes and patterns that appear time and again in nature as well as the universe. These patterns are “sacred” not because of what they mean but because they are universal — they appear in seashells, flowers, crystals, music and even the way galaxies spiral. It was thought that to contemplate and meditate upon these shapes would allow a person to open up further realms of the creation itself.

Sacred geometry is not a novelty- it's part of the fabric of human society-traced through the ages! The Egyptians encoded it in the pyramids, the Greeks honored it with their philosophy and architecture, and many spiritual traditions around the globe built temples of mandalas or symbols.

The Flower of Life: A Pattern That's Older Than Time

One of the most well-known icons of sacred geometry is the Flower of Life. It is composed of interlocking circles that are meticulously arranged leaving no visible beginning or end to the pattern. Almost all other geometric forms may be found within it: the Seed of Life, Star Tetrahedon, Tree of Life (from Kabbalah), etc., even the Platonic solids.

The Flower of Life has been discovered etched into ancient temples in Egypt, Turkey and China — proof of its universal appeal. It is also a symbol of unity, depicting all life as emanating from one source and moving outwards together.

Sacred Geometry 27 Metatron's Cube ~ The Map of Creation

This is a pattern that contains all five of the Platonic solids (cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron) within it. Plato believed these were "elemental" solids, which corresponded to earth, air, fire, water and ether.

Metatron’s Cube is sometimes considered a map of creation itself, representing balance and harmony, connecting all things. In mystical contexts, it’s also worn as a protective talisman, anchoring divine energies in the material world.

The Golden Ratio: The Story of Phi, the World\'s Most Astonishing Number

Another pillar of sacred geometry is the Golden Ration (1.618…), otherwise known as Phi. This ratio is found all over the place: in the spirals of sea shells and in the branching of trees; it influenced the design of the Parthenon, and even defines pleasing proportions of our own bodies.

Artists and architects from Leonardo da Vinci to Michelangelo used the Golden Ratio to help define what they considered aesthetically pleasing in their creations. It is known as the Divine Proportion because it reflects the balance and harmony of creation.

Sacred Geometry in Everyday Life

You don’t have to visit ancient temples in order to experience sacred geometry. It’s already in your everyday life. The cosmic language in action When you recognize a snowflake pattern, the spiral of a pine cone or the orbit of planets, every time you observe these patterns and forms you are seeing this galactic tongue performing.

By reflecting on sacred geometry — be it through looking at a mandala, drawing geometric shapes, or even just observing nature — one can experience a sense of harmony and alignment. Social distancing, with its circular patterns etched in our everyday behavior, can have a calming and centering effect on many who feel disconnected from the larger web of life.

Why It Matters

Mythical geometry teaches us that life is not arbitrary, but meaningful – connected and designed. The same patterns that build galaxies also build our cells. Infants and children gaze upon these forms too, and by learning to see them, they awaken to the fact that we are not outside of creation but an active partaker within it.

It is the language of the universe, not spoken in words, but drawn spirally, by circles and proportional measures. And as we come to understand it, we discover something miraculous: We are also part of that sacred design.
