“Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe.”
-Galileo
“The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.”
-Zeno of Elea (490-430 B. C., Greek philosopher)
Sacred Geometry, is the basic fundamental building blocks of our Universe, and is based on mathematics and form. Sacred Geometry can be found in all of nature in golden mean proportions, Fibonacci spirals, hexagonal structures, pentagonal structures, platonic solid structures, crystal structures, tube torus, etc.
Sacred geometry involves sacred universal patterns used in the design of everything in our reality, most often seen in sacred architecture and sacred art. The basic belief is that geometry and mathematical ratios, harmonics and proportion are also found in music, light, cosmology. (reference-wikipedia)

If we are to look at some of the master works thru time, it is clear that geometry has been used through out the world since the dawn of civilization. For example, the Pyramids, classical Greek and Roman works of art, Native American structures, Cathedrals and even movies like “The Wizard of Oz”, where the golden spiral begins as the yellow brick road, being a symbol of transformation between Munchkin Land and Oz. This golden spiral shows up again and again in flowers and the ”eye” of the storm and the way leaves spiral around its stem.

Our bodies are segmented in proportions that are expressed by the golden ratio sequence, from the proportions on our digits to the proportions of the larger segments on our bodies. These same

proportions can be found on insects and all throughout nature.
As humans, if we can learn to live in agreement with these universal principles thus living with nature we will succeed. Nature can be our teacher and if we choose to listen the benefits will be mutual. If we are to understand nature then we must understand
and recognize its patterns and then we will be living in harmony with our true selves.
