Sacred Geometry Articles
Philosophy is written in this grand book-I mean the universe-which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these, one is

Sacred geometry literally means the sacred or holy (as in whole) measurement of the Earth. Ancient cultures and civilizations saw sacred geometry in all of creation and, endeavoring to live in harmony with the laws of creation, built their homes and temples of worship along sacred geometric principles. These are concepts which we lost along the way to modern civilization.
You do not need to know about sacred geometry to understand the thread of what I write about in most of the articles here.
The material here is a result of my own personal research. Considerable time was and is put into calculations, working out geometries, drawing diagrams, and other research which includes reading and thinking. Due to the nature of the work and time that goes into this as well as other commitments in my life, expect quality more than quantity here.
One final word on terminology. When use of the word "man" appears in any of my articles, it is understood to refer to "human" rather than being a gender specific noun. Also the words feminine and masculine are not used in a gender specific context. They refer to qualities which exist in all of us and are aspects of One Universal Source just as the multitude of deities in the Hindu pantheon are but aspects of One Universal Source. Think of them as archetypal energies.

The Maltese Cross: Background history and sacred geometry behind this symbol.
The Circle and the Pentagon: Wherein the 18 and 19 of Ancient Egyptian Biometrics
Out of Africa Via Mercury: The title says it all. Come see how. I recommend you read "The Circle and the Pentagon" first as material from there is referenced in this article.
Spirals: From kundalini to the cochlea, the spiral form is everywhere and that of which matter comes into being from the field of pure energy.
Ninety Degrees of Separation or The Golden Rectangle and the Logarithmic Spiral: I have not come across an adequate explanation of the golden rectangle and the log spiral, the mathematics of it. So I decided to figure it out myself and put something together for others so they could truly understand it.
The Fibonacci Spiral: What is a Fibonacci spiral and how does it differ from a golden log spiral.
Flower of Life Symbol: General, non technical article on the Flower of Life symbology.
Ropestretcher's Triangle, Phi & Fibonacci: How the golden number and Fibonacci numbers arise from the 3-4-5 right angle triangle. As the 3-4-5 triangle is very important and crops up in the Great Pyramid, I have included a separate article just on it.

Viewing Satellite Images of Sacred Sites: This is a short tutorial on how to use FlashEarth to view satellite images of sacred structures around the globe.
Chichen Itza and the Mayan Doomsday Prophecy: An interesting full length documentary from the History Channel on the Mayan calendar and their prediction about 2012.

Pyramid Power
What Is a Pyramid?: Good primer on what constitutes a pyramid in simple language. You may wish to read this and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Pyramid Star" before going on to "The Great Pyramid" (when it is posted, that is) though they are not necessary pre-requisites.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Pyramid Star: Building a pyramid from 2-dimensional star shapes.
The Mysterious Pyramids of Japan: A brief writeup with a full length documentary video posted in this article.
Pyramid-like Chamber Discovered in Ancient Tomb of Chinese Emperor: This is a report on the most current archaeological findings on the tomb of China's first emperor (July 2007).
Pyramids of China: Currently on hold.
The Great Pyramid: Wherein Biometrics Becomes Geometry & Biogeometry (Slowly working on diagrams for this one.) It is highly recommended you read "The Circle and the Pentagon" first. The material in "The Great Pyramid" is intimately tied to that article. Will have satellite images available as well.
Flatland to Sphereland and Beyond: An excursion from 2D to 3D and beyond beginning with the square. Along the way we see how we naturally progress to the cube and hypercube, how the tetrahedron, star tetrahedron, the rest of the Platonic Solids and Metatron's Cube (2D and 3D) fit into the picture. Some of this will tie into the Great Pyramid. Part I, Part II and the first section of Part III are posted and available for viewing.
