Sacred Geometry

Sacred Geometry has been used throughout history to create beautiful and holy places in which our minds and hearts can ascent to loftier heights to commune with the divine. Not only is it used in archetechure to build glorious temples but also to embellish them by using geometry shapes or forms as they speak to us in the holy language of symbolism. Iron work, stencils, glass etchings, mill work, paintings have all been used throughout LDS Temples and the same as ancient Temples to lift the mind to those things that testify of the Lord. Next time you go to the Temple see how many of these holy shapes you can recognize all around you.
The square represents the physical. The circle represents the spiritual. All sacred geometers have attempted the impossible: to square the circle (create a square who's perimeter is equal to the circumference of a circle.) Solomon's Temple provides numerous examples of sacred geometry. 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. 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.
See The Law of Resonance to see the connections of how the temple through our righteous diligence can be the ultimate and pure source for us to become a spiritual being and become one with God. The Atonement means exactly that, "at-one."



Vesica Piscis
Above the entrance of several Gothic cathedrals Jesus Christ is depicted standing or enthroned within this emblem such as the one on the right from the Chartres Cathedral in France. This symbol takes its form from the space where two circles of equal diameter overlap one another, and it takes its name from the fact that it is shaped like the body of a fish. The symbol of the fish has many symbolic meanings connected to the early Christian Church. It represented Christ as the fisher of men. On a higher level it represents the atonement. The two circles represents the joining together of the temporal world and the spiritual world with Christ as the mediator between both worlds. A building that was decorated with this symbol invoked heaven on earth. The Vesica Piscis is also symbolic as the womb of the universe.


Although LDS doctrine does not believe in the big bang (ex nihilo) theory of creation or other words that the universe was created out of nothing. There is still much that can be learned from Charles Gilchrist's presentations on sacred geometry. LDS believe that the earth was organized from existing matter or pre-existing chaos. For a more detailed understanding see Blake Ostlerr's, "The Doctrine of Creation Ex Nihilo Was Created Out of Nothing: A Response to Copan and Craig Part 1: The Scriptural Argument."

The three root languages of the universe: Sacred Sound (vibration), Sacred Sequence (time/numbers), and Sacred Geometry (form). Special attention to the static and dynamic aspects of Sacred Geometry.
