Ab Immemorabili

192: Sacred Geometry - Why Certain Shapes Appear in Every Tradition


Listen Later

Why do identical geometric patterns appear in cultures that never had contact with each other?

Drake and Holly explore the mysterious universality of sacred geometry, from Egyptian pyramids to Tibetan mandalas, revealing how certain shapes and ratios appear across all human civilizations. They examine scientific evidence that these patterns exist at every level of reality - from quantum particles to galactic structures - and discuss why human consciousness seems naturally attuned to recognise and create these forms.

Key Topics:

  • The golden ratio in nature and architecture
  • Jung's discovery of spontaneous mandala creation
  • Islamic geometric art as contemplation tool
  • Platonic solids from ancient philosophy to modern physics
  • Cymatics: how sound creates geometric patterns
  • Fractal geometry in nature and consciousness
  • The flower of life as universal blueprint
  • Featured Concepts:

    Anamnesis: The remembering of knowledge the soul already possesses

    Cymatics: The study of visible sound creating geometric patterns in matter

    Vesica Piscis: The almond shape formed by overlapping circles, representing intersection of worlds

    Tensegrity: Fuller's principle of structural integrity through balanced tension

     

    Essential Quote: "These patterns aren't just out there in the world. They're in here, in consciousness itself. The mandala emerges spontaneously from the psyche because the psyche itself is patterned on geometric principles."

    Practical Takeaway: Begin noticing geometric patterns in nature - spirals in shells, hexagons in honeycomb, branching in trees. These observations can awaken recognition of the same patterns within your own consciousness.
