Squaring the circle………..The supreme goal of countless mathematicians throughout the ages has been the attempt to produce a square and circle that had either exactly the same area, or exactly the same distance around the edge! A seemingly simple task that proved impossible as the ratio between the diameter of the circle and its circumference is pi, p, the most famous of all irrational numbers, and is a mathematical constant and a transcendental (and therefore irrational) real number, approximately equal to 3.14159 Since p (pi) can never be expressed precisely by numbers, you can only ever know the circumference OR the diameter but never both. In traditional sacred geometry the circle is often used to represent the realm of spirit and the square, the manifest world of earth/ matter. To try to reconcile these, and bring Spirit down into Matter or to raise Matter up to join Spirit has been central to mystical and magical traditions throughout history, and still holds true today. If this is symbolically a representation of our spiritual quest then does this mean that what past mathematicians have found to be impossible will always be so? My Logo to your left
is the geometric symbol of Squaring the circle. I have experienced
in my short life that this is not a truth, that what at one point
in time seems impossible becomes not only possible but eventually
the norm. So, have the great minds of our history been missing
a key piece of information?

Has
it been that there is a ‘something’ that can achieve
this union between circumference and diameter, matter and spirit
that until it is discovered always existed but has just been out
of reach?
I believe this mathematical quest to be a reflection of the journey we are on as souls, represented by the circle, who have manifested as beings, represented by the square in this plane of existence. Our journey is similar to that of the mathematicians attempting to square the circle, as souls in physical form we are equally attempting a task that with our present understanding of the universal laws have not discovered the key/s required to achieve this. It will only be in our further attempting this task that somehow we come closer and closer to information that previously we did not see or recognise as relevant. As we continue attempting unity through our quest to become whole, the longing to ‘find’ our selves, drives us on, only our self is the elusive soul so many speak of and search for, some fleetingly attain communion with this, but ultimately whilst in physical form we can never fully reconcile this, are we now coming into a time when this will be possible? Many on this path will say yes, we are moving into a new consciousness, a time in the history of man where we will be bringing heaven to earth. For many thousands of year’s mystics, high priests and their architects have known this and used sacred geometry when constructing places of worship and places of initiation. You will find, if you know what to look for, representations of the use of sacred geometry in structures today used by secret societies, governments and royalty for the purpose of strengthening the vibrational resonance between the worlds for rituals of initiation. With this in mind & seeing
squaring the circle as an attempt to unite the physical world with
the spirit world/s, the Great Pyramid is a good example of a physical
place where one can bring one's physical body and experience the
spiritual - this, of course, is the purpose of all sacred spaces.
The pyramid is a symbolic representation of the ladder of spiritual
ascension. Usually starting from a quadrangular base symbolising
the terrestrial basis, its edges and sides converge to a pinnacle.
This pinnacle is symbolic of Unity, the Divine and from this, the
manifestation of our surrounding world is radiating. To be reborn
to the Principle we all come from makes up the real sense of this
ascension, an ascension which brings the individual from its human,
physical state back to supra-individual state, from the manifest
world to the non-manifest spirit realm, from the terrestrial to
the celestial.
Geomancers are interested in sacred geometry because it is the study of the way that spirit integrates into matter - by echoing and amplifying the geometry of nature and planetary movements, we help to align the resonance of body/mind/spirit with the harmonic frequencies of the above and the below. So it would seem that spaces that use sacred geometrical ratios enable the participant to resonate or vibrate at the appropriate rate that maximizes the possibility of connection to the One, and this is why we feel particularly connected to the spirit world in some places and feel disconnected in others. Have you created a space using sacred geometric symbols? If so I would love to hear about them. Go to the Contact link and send me an email, happy journeying………… Karen
