Increasing Personal (And Global) Well-Being With Sacred Geometry
Sacred geometry is the study of the forms and patterns that shape creation. Its teachings come from the philosophers and mystics of ancient Egypt and Greece, who sought to understand how the world came to be by investigating the archetypal numbers and shapes found in nature. Why do salt crystals form as cubes? Why are snowflakes and honeycomb cells always 6-sided? Why are certain musical intervals such as an octave or a fifth pleasing to the ear? The answers provide insight into the order behind creation.The study of sacred geometry is not only an intellectual endeavor-it invites us to participate in the act of creation. Using only a compass and a straight edge, we become the creators, weaving intricate, beautiful designs out of simple lines and curves. The drawing exercises explore the interrelationships of the archetypal shapes (circle, triangle, square) from which everything is built. We discover that, as embodiments of creation ourselves, we carry within us an inherent knowledge of the forms and patterns that define reality.Detailed below are six principles of creation revealed by sacred geometry and how they can increase our sense of connection and well-being. When we feel increased well-being, it is inevitably shared by all those around us, and soon the world is a better place for everyone.UnityWhether a seed, an egg, or an atom, all forms are born from the circle, the perfect never-ending curve that is known around the world as a symbol of Unity, the One, the Universal Whole. Each of us, as well as every plant, animal, or rock that we encounter, is one of the infinite facets of the universal whole. Like a prism refracting light into a rainbow of color, the circle is the gateway through which the single source of being passes to reveal the rich diversity of nature.PolarityCreation is the way that the universal whole comes to understand itself. As a singular point of oneness, there is (literally!) no space for it to get some perspective. On the impulse for self-knowledge, the One projects outward to gaze back at itself, as though looking in a mirror. One point has now become two, connected along a straight line, but like the two poles of a magnet, the pair are irresistibly attracted, since they are actually the same. The polarity of the line reminds us that, though our perception of separation and difference can be powerfully convincing, we are truly all of the same essence, each with our own link back to the whole.OrderThe vast diversity of creation can often seem random and chaotic, yet the symmetry and patterning of geometric forms speaks otherwise. Crystals are one of nature's most exquisite displays of geometry, and their perfect lines are made possible only by the precise aligning of millions of identical molecules into orderly rows. Similarly, triangles, squares, and hexagons fit precisely together to create perfectly repeating patterns (tilings), which we make use of in everything from bathroom tile to checkered shirts.

Question by doublepow: Where to buy glasses to watch solar eclipse in Delhi?
If you know, please tell. These glasses are special filter glasses, like dark glasses, with which we can watch the solar eclipse without harming our eyes.
Thanks.
