Sacred Geometry

 Our Brains:             

              Most of us don't know much about sacred geometry and that certainly includes me. I'm curious and want to learn more about it . We certainly can't learn a lot about everything, but our brains are hungry and sacred geometry may be very nutritious.

                That which we have called sacred geometry has affected much of our culture and, of course has been much affected by it. It has been felt much in astronomy, astrology, art, architeture, mathamatics, religion, philosophy and more.

                I am just begining to look into it. I have seen that it is very ancient and has had a strong effect on humanity around the world. There seems to be that which is very worthwhile in it.

You May Want More:               

                 With a stream of  thought here I hope to peak your curiosity. The stream will relate to connections to sacred geometry. I will not explain terms and names this time. You might want to check out some their meanings and perhaps even report on your findings in the "comments" section. A logarithmic spiral is an example of geometric progression; polar slope; Jacob Bernoulli; self-similarity; Hindu Garanthos; Manasa, ancient Hindu writings on architecture and design; integrations and connections of culture, the world, nature, being, and building; physical structure and music.


A Long and Varied History               

                 Plato and the Greek mystery schools thought of the Sacred Geometry as important 2,500 years ago. Hindu thinkers thought it important long before that. Others think so today. We could try to find out why. I can't do it all, I have other fish to fry. 

                I will more about this if you wish. You may find that my spellcheck is working better.

                The "comments" app here is working well. Comments are a great encouragement for me. At my age I need plenty of encouragement to keep me going.

                Thank you for reading!

We Can; Let's

EsoExo: Sharing knowledge multiplies knowledge. Knowing and understanding are good doings.

 
 
            Let's be positive. Let's affirm the good, the better, and the best. We can act to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. We can become more knowing and understanding.
 
            To know is an activity, a doing, a process. We can know and also have some ability to share our knowing.
 
            A positive doing, a good way to live, is  to know and to share our knowing. It is useful to observe, to be conscious, and aware. Being so can be a purpose of ours. We can find joy in increasing our skills in the arts and ways of civilization. We can live better by sharing information and knowledge. We can look at what is going on and better interpret that which we see. We can keep an eye on that which is happening so as to better plan our doings. We can recognize our common humanity and know that can be and do enough. We have the power to do on purpose. We can learn to trust ourselves and one another more appropriately. We can learn how.
 
            Truth and reality can be sign posts pointing the way to the good, better, and best. They may even point to bliss and security. But, honesty is the best policy and a great attribute.
 
            We can share. We can learn to share well. We can practice sharing. Sharing can be a way of multiplying. We can honestly say that sharing knowledge multiplies knowledge.
 
            Perhaps sharing similarly multiplies the useful such as: information, ways and means, arts and crafts, governance, consciousness, awareness, understanding, meaning. 
 
            As human beings we can learn and share our learning on purpose. We each have our experience to share.
 
            We can free ourselves from ignorance. Our civilization implies culture, which necessitates common memory, a history, shared stories, the power of the word. We free ourselves by practicing the sharing of knowledge. We have the wonderful power of learning from each other, from one another.
 
            Art goes back to putting together. Art is often a skill of putting together in a variety of ways. Putting together can be a move toward knowing, understanding, and meaning.
 
            "Wit" has to do with see and know. With some that includes humor, good humor. It is good to know that we can use our minds and wills, to judge, sense, and understand with good humor.
 
            We have will, so we can act with purpose. "Purpose" contains a a bit of "propose" and so goes to "put forward," "declare," narrate." Purpose can have to do with our words to our self. Let's make our words to ourselves honest and positive.
 
            Are we coming to agree that knowing and understanding are good doings. When we would do so, we can come to better see what is going on. We can trust our ability to learn to better interpret our senses and experiences. We can let more meaning into our lives.
 
            We are using words as well as we can. We are coming to know that the verb "to know" points to a doing of our volition as and act of will and purpose. To know is to approach understanding. We know that understanding is a process we experience.
 
            Our will and purpose can be set in the direction of freedom, truth, honesty, and understanding. Doing so can allow more meaning into our lives. 
 
Truth may free us and honesty is a good start. The real beginning is with self-honesty.
 
            Can it be that we are kind and faithful to ourselves and to others by sharing the honest information and awareness we have within ourselves and with others?

            It hurts little for us to regard, to look at the happenings and doings around us. We can regard humanity, civilization, culture, art, awareness, organization, information, but we don't have to.

We can choose to do that which we can do. 
We can choose to be aware and informed.
We can choose to understand and share. 
We can chose to support beauty and health.
We can choose to be honest with ourselves and others.

            More efforts to come.
