All the people on this planet and all the things in the entire universe are subjects to the laws of physics. All kinds of unseen forces affect us constantly, like gravity or air pressure and other things we can’t see. As we go on with our daily lives we cannot escape them no matter how hard we try.
However, physics and math go hand in hand and the first cannot exist without the second. They don’t call math the universal language for nothing. One of the most interesting and intriguing aspects of mathematics is geometry. Shapes, angles, perimeters, surfaces and everything studied in this field can be found in the surrounding environment.
People in ancient times have shown a keen interest in geometry. A lot of their representations and designs displayed certain shapes that they considered to be symbols of the origin of all things. This part of their beliefs has been depicted as sacred geometry.
All the basic patterns comprised in the sacred geometry were attributed sacred value because if one sought to study their nature and relationship, that person started on a path to gaining some insight on the scientific and mystical laws of the universe.
Some of the usual patterns used in sacred geometry are the Flower of Life, the Seed of Life, the Tree of Life, and others. As you can see most of them have the word ‘life’ in their names which makes reference to the origins of life. Other symbols that can be included in this belief system do not necessarily have significance related to the birth of life, but to other things on a larger scale.
One of these symbols is the Golden Spiral. This spiral has a very close relationship with the mathematical constant phi, also called the golden ratio or the Golden mean, but also with other shapes like the Fibonacci spiral, with which it is commonly confused.
Obtaining a spiral is easy, you just start and a point and go further and further with a rotating line. However, for a normal spiral to become a Golden Spiral, after each quarter turn, the line has to be further from the origin by a factor of phi.
The significance of phi is considered by many greater than that of pi. Plato considered the first to be ‘the key to the physics of the cosmos’. Since we are on the topic of cosmos, our galaxy, the Milky Way, is shaped as a Golden Spiral.
Other representations of the Golden Spiral can be found on our planet as well. For instance, the seeds on the head of a sunflower are positioned according to this pattern. Another example is the Nautilus shell, which grows in from of a Golden Spiral.
All the other symbols of sacred geometry can be found in nature. Many cultural or religious values have been attributed to each, and every symbol has been transposed into a piece of jewelry that can improve the life of the wearer.
