The Sphere
While the sphere may be one of the simplest forms in sacred geometry, it is also the container that can hold all of the other forms. All measurements are equal in a sphere. It is a figure that is complete in its entirety. The earth, a seed, and an atom are all spheres.
![[img/sg_img-023.png]] The sphere looks like the surface of a ball

The Circle
A circle is another simple form found in sacred geometry. The circle is two dimensional and is a symbol of oneness. The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is called Pi, written with the symbol (pi) is an irrational number and never ends nor does it ever repeat. It is infinite.
The Single Point
![[img/sg_img-026.png]] The Single Point is the first archetype of Sacred Geometry. It is directly related to unity consciousness or Oneness, the undivided God Mind. The Single Point is the absolute root mental concept, the simplest idea possible. It is literally The First Dimension – the omnipresent / omnipotent centre. Single Pointedness is the root of all holistic thinking, that ALL IS ONE. Single Pointedness, or Oneness, is that which is beyond Duality
![[img/sg_img-027.png]] The two dimensional Universe begins in the expansion of The Single Point. This is The Great Mystery of Sacred Geometry: The Single Point
magically divides and becomes The Two Points. The Universe is created by this division: unity becomes duality. This is the great miracle and mystery. Suddenly, Point A. is here and Point B. is there. These two points, this first duality, marks the first architectural relationship of the Universe and creates the first abstract unit of measure, i.e., space. The second dimension literally begins at this conceptual level: The Two Points.
![[img/sg_img-028.png]] The tremendous energies contained within this first two dimensional relationship of the Universe (The Two Points) manifests as a duality of motion: straight line motion (from Point A. to Point B.) and rotational
motion (Point B. around Point A.). This dual movement is called The Radius/Arc.
This is the conceptual Big Bang. All the various energies of the universe trace to the play between the Radius and the Arc. The Radius/Arc is Yin and Yang, Light and Dark, Left and Right, Father and Mother, etc. All manifestations of duality trace to The Radius/Arc.
![[img/sg_img-029.png]] The timeless relationship forever held within The Radius/Arc (expressed scientifically as Pi) is THE root mathematical formula and visually unfolds to become the first enclosed form of Sacred Geometry, the Circle. The Circle is unity, Oneness. It is the two dimensional manifestation of single pointedness, undivided God Mind. The Circle is the ALL. This is the essence of Mandala; The Circle holds ALL.
Definition: Pi: The ratio of the circumference of the circle to its diameter: an irrational number having a value to eight places of 3.14159265. For practical purposes, the value of Pi is 3.1416.
![[img/sg_img-030.png]] The first Icon (The Circle) is created by rotating point B. around point A. (the yellow circle). But The Two Points, are perfect twins with equal potentials, and Point A. can also rotate around point B using the original radius. This natural polarity, this reversal of rolls, produces another circle (the violet one). These two circles create the second enclosed form (overlapping) of Sacred Geometry entitled The Two Circles Of Common Radius.
![[img/sg_img-031.png]] These two overlapping circles with a common radius, create the third enclosed form of Sacred Geometry. The ancients called this archetype The Vesica Piscis (black shape). ALL the dimensional forms of this cosmos evolve from this football like shape – literally ALL form. The Vesica Piscis is literally the womb of the
universe, the ever unfolding Mother of Sacred Geometry.
![[img/sg_img-032.png]] In addition to The Vesica Piscis, The Two Circles Of Common Radius create two new points at their intersections (C & D). The play of Father/Mother points (A and B) create the first children of the universe: The twins (points C & D). And the magnification continues.
![[img/sg_img-033.png]] Rotating the first two points (A & B) around these new points (C & D) creates two additional circles and four additional Vesica Piscii. Now we have Four circles of common radius and Five Vesica Piscii (see Fig 8). The two new circles also create four more points (E, F, G, & H.), and another enclosed form of Sacred Geometry we call, The Petal (the white shape at the center). This is the germ of The Creation Pattern, as all of the necessary forms are now in place: Parents (circles 1 & 2) and children (circles 3 & 4). This is the essence of family revealed in Sacred Geometry… the family heart in the form of a petal. And the magnification is about to explode!
![[img/sg_img-034.png|200]] Striking more circles around the new points (E. F. G. & H.) compounds the forms and creates a never ending grid of Circles, Vesica Piscii, and Petals entitled Nature’s First Pattern. This is an ever evolving two dimensional pattern which, at the conceptual level, circumnavigates the universe.
Nature’s First Pattern is THE creation pattern.
There are an infinite number of sub patterns and forms to be discovered within Nature’s First Pattern, and the study of these unlimited possibilities IS the root two dimensional study of Sacred Geometry.
[!example] Insight
This is the thrust. The Ray of light enters the space. It is a point, Keter that has the potential to expand to a circle, or expand in a straight line. So, because the thrust is in the direction of emanation, three “lines” extend from it, 2 diagonals that represent the angular momentum, and the third, that is the Ray continuing on its path, and, being the axis around which this is all happening, forms the central pillar. Only one of the lines contains “movement”, the diagonal leading to Chokhmah and is represented by the lightning bolt. Binah is the potential that is inherent in the other diagonal.
