Know oh brother,

That the study of sensible geometry leads to skill in all practical arts while the study of intelligible geometry leads to skill in the intellectual arts, because this science is one of the gates through which we move to the knowledge of the essence of the soul and that is the root of all knowledge.

Ikhmân Al-safâ

To understand sacred geometry you really need to practice it.  Get yourself a compass, ruler, triangle and pencil.  Read the words below that go with the examples and have Fun.  As you get to grips with Sacred Geometry then take your thoughts to the ancient sites throughout the world maybe Giza, or Teotuhuacan, Avebury, Tara and you will see how the ancients built using Sacred Geometry.  Now this being the case, you now need to look further into humanities past to understand where this knowledge came from.  Remember always have fun in your research.

	The Single Point is the first archetype of Sacred Geometry. It is directly related to unity consciousness or Oneness.... 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 center. Single Pointedness is the root of all holistic thinking.... THE ALL IS ONE. Single Pointedness or Oneness, is that which is beond Duality
	The two dimensional Universe begins in the division 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, ie space. The Second Dimension literally begins at this conceptual level: The Two Points
	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.
	The timeless relationship forever held within The Radius/Arc (expressed scientifically as Pi - 3.1416....) 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 dimentional 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: a transcendental number having a value to eight places of 3.14159265. For practical purposes, the value of Pi is 3.1416.
	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 polality, this reversal of rolls, produces another circle (the violet one). These two circles create the second enclosed form (overlaping) of Sacred Geometry entitled The Two Circles Of Common Radius.
	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 dimentional forms of this cosmos evolve from this football like shape... literaly ALL form. The Vesica Piscis is literally the womb of the universe.... the ever unfolding Mother of Sacred Geometry.
	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.
	Rotating the first two points (A. & B.) around these new points (C. & D.) creates two additional circles and four additional Vesica Piscis. Now we have Four circles of common radius and Five Vesica Piscis (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 necessarry 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!

Striking more circles around the new points (E. F. G. & H. ) compounds the forms and creates a never ending grid of Circles, Vesica Piscis, 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.

When I was working on the Sacred Geometry site, a friend told me to check out Charles Gilchrist's website because he was like minded.  His work was beautiful so instead of using my own work I contacted charles and asked if I could use his, he agreed, thanks Charles you are a gentleman.  If you wish to check out his work it's on http://www.charlesgilchrist.com/
