The strands of our DNA, the cornea of our eye, snow flakes, pine cones, flower petals, diamond crystals, the branching of trees, a nautilus shell, the star we spin around, the galaxy we spiral within, the air we breathe, and all life forms as we know them emerge out of timeless geometric codes.
The designs of places from the prehistoric monuments at Stonehenge and the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, to the world's great cathedrals, mosques, and temples are based on these same principles of sacred geometry. As far back as the Greek Mystery schools 2500 years ago, it was taught that there are five perfect 3-dimensional forms - the tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron...collectively known as the Platonic Solids; and that these form the foundation of everything in the physical world.
Modern scholars ridiculed this idea until the 1980's, when Professor Robert Moon at the University of Chicago demonstrated that the entire Periodic Table of Elements - literally everything in the physical world - is based on these same five geometric forms. In fact, throughout modern physics, chemistry, and biology, the geometric patterns of creation are being rediscovered. The ancients knew that these patterns were codes symbolic of our own inner realm and that the experience of geometry was essential to the education of the soul.
