well, i have read a couple books on sacred geometry and there seems to be male lines (the straight lines) and female lines (the curved ones) ... the lines may be energy or frequency [i have much to learn on this subject]. now, since the "ruling elite" have been a part of what has been going on, and it seems that they use patriarchal energies, would that explain why so many buildings, doorways, ect., ect. are or use straight lines instead of curved ones? (especially when a dome home would probably stand up better in a hurricane than the square buildings that we use) this is just me wondering.

dear friends,
interesting article from herbert bangs. http://www.grahamhancock.com/forum/bangsh1.php be well, be love. david the magic of architecture by herbert bangs m.arch. when we speak of sacred architecture we are not speaking just of churches and temples, but of all buildings that are designed in accordance with the laws of sacred geometry. sacred geometry, unlike the euclidian geometry we learned in school, is primarily concerned with the esoteric and symbolic significance of geometrical forms, rather than their logical development and mundane application. when the principles of sacred geometry are understood and correctly applied in the design and construction of buildings, those buildings will possess a "magical" power that can speak to the deeper layers of our awareness and effect changes in the structure of our lives. few buildings designed in our time possess this power and deserve to be called "sacred" architecture. parthenon the principles of sacred geometry, however, lie behind the design of all of the great buildings of the past. the parthenon, for instance, has been admired for centuries as an example of the application of geometric beauty to architectural design. when i studied architecture at the university of pennsylvania, the famous front elevation was shown in an art history course to demonstrate the application of the golden rectangle to the design of the building, but no explanation of the mathematical significance of the form, much less the esoteric significance, was ever given. the other shapes, forms and ratios upon which architects based their designs from remote antiquity until the middle of the twentieth century were not even mentioned. the popular wisdom is that architects are supposed to be good at mathematics, but the only mathematics taught in our architectural schools is the mundane arithmetic required for the simplified engineering design thought suitable for architects. the kind of mathematics that produced the parthenon is never discussed. |

mainstream education would probably never go into discussions of an esoteric nature, yet there is material out there that addresses the deeper layers of sacred geometry, and it's up to the individual to search.
at least in western civilization there are no book burnings, something to be grateful for, and now anyone with enough curiosity can find answers to these kinds of questions for free on the internet. for instance, in a book by p.d. ouspensky called "in search of the miraculous" which was published in 1947 and which is now available as a free pdf document online: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ar...miraculous.pdf one can find some interesting quotes about the difference between subjective and objective art. "do such works of objective art exist at the present day?" i asked. "of course they exist," answered g. "the great sphinx in egypt is such a work of art, as well as some historically known works of architecture, certain statues of gods, and many other things. there are figures of gods and of various mythological beings that can be read like books, only not with the mind but with the emotions, provided they are sufficiently developed. in the course of our travels in central asia we found, in the desert at the foot of the hindu kush, a strange figure which we thought at first was some ancient god or devil. at first it produced upon us simply the impression of being a curiosity. but after a while we began to feel that this figure contained many things, a big, complete, and complex system of cosmology. and slowly, step by step, we began to decipher this system. it was in the body of the figure, in its legs, in its arms, in its head, in its eyes, in its ears; everywhere. in the whole statue there was nothing accidental, nothing without meaning. and gradually we understood the aim of the people who built this statue. we began to feel their thoughts, their feelings. some of us thought that we saw their faces, heard their voices. at all events, we grasped the meaning of what they wanted to convey to us across thousands of years, and not only the meaning, but all the feelings and the emotions connected with it as well. that indeed was art!" ulli |

this is a highly relevant discussion for my work at the moment. where can we gain access to the implications of use of sacred geometries in architecture, if not through the main avenues (ie a degree in it)?
the only thing i am a little bit strong in at the moment (still much more studying to be done) is assessing the acoustic properties of a geometrical sound space. however, how a geometry lends itself to, say, the proper induction of an electro-magnetic field, is definitely beyond me at the moment! here's the key concept involved: a field within a field. i know what i need to know about how to create the internal field, but the exact details for creating the external field are what's missing. the knowhow to do it is out there but unless there were a way to access it, i suppose we will have to rediscover it (which we are capable of, whereas they are not capable of creating the internal field properly, and it is frustrating them). i believe it would be encouraging for people to know that "we" have a distinct advantage. once one fully believes in the inevitability (and that is what i am here to share the proof of), it really is no longer a matter of "us and them" anyways. people will be able to quite simply turn their attention away from those "powers that be", much to their dismay. we'll have better things to worry about - what all of the gatherings happening all over the world are ultimately leading to. otherworldly |
