Tapping the Ancient Realm of Sacred Geometry

When the Voyager probe passed by Saturn it took some shocking images of
the North Pole of Saturn, which has a clear hexagon.
This has a relation to Theosophy and
Judaism, as the Star of David is one of the emblems in the theosophical
movement and the flag of Israel. This is also supported by the fact that
Saturday (Saturn’s day) is the holy day of the week for Jews. [1]
Moreover, hexagonal geometry is
fundamental to life, both organic and inorganic. The bases in DNA, A, C, T, G,
are hexagonal, and many biochemical molecules are also hexagonal. The bees (sacred
to the Egyptians and present in Masonic symbolism) have hexagonal cells in
their hives. It is the most efficient structure - honeycomb - in terms of
weight and firmness, which of course has been copied in aerospace engineering
and material science in nanomaterials. Snowflakes have also hexagonal geometry,
and other cases in nature.
Conventional science is aware of this
correspondence, yet not aware of the metaphysical relationships.
Chemistry is sacred geometry in disguise,
and perhaps the visions of shamans are biochemical insights and the reason why
symbols may have that occult knowledge. A biochemical resonance, or using
theosophical terminology, the law of correspondence. Pythagoras has this
hermeneutical aspect in his name. Pythons were the maidens in Delphi who
divined.
Hermeneutics is about pattern recognition,
decoding. Mathematics are a key for this endeavour (both Numbers and Geometry). Once one taps into that realm of symbolism
and Sacred Geometry, one can see the Laws of Harmony, Correspondence, and Cause
and Effect, integrated in the “music of the spheres”.
Do we resonate with symbols because our
own chemistry is symbolic? All the atoms in the Universe are connected, and
this unfathomable connexion is projected on to the material plane in a precise
mathematical way that can be represented symbolically.
