HJ: Even a basic understanding of the science of sacred
geometry can take us a long way in developing a deeper
connection with the world around us. Suddenly, you can see
the basic geometric forms appearing in nearly everything,
especially in plants and other creations of nature. Sacred
geometric forms are what give rise to many aspects of the
experience of life as we know it. Furthermore, they have
tremendous symbolic power and metaphysical properties.
One can see divinity expressing itself everywhere when
sacred geometry is properly understood.
This wonderful primer by Ronald and Lyssa Holt will give
introduce you to the history and fundamental concepts that
underlie the science and art of sacred geometry.
- Truth
Sacred Geometry

by Ronald Holt and Lyssa Royal Holt | Soli School

Anyone can draw a geometric form and it is just geometry; but

when you relate spirit, consciousness, or divinity to geometry,
youre creatingSacred Geometry. Therefore, Sacred Geometry
uses geometric models to help us understand the evolution of
consciousness and the divine nature of human beings and the
physical world. Through these models, we can learn to
tangibly understand our own divine
nature and creation itself.
For example, the model to the right is
an artists rendition (by Yvette Baez)
of the ancient Flower of Life pattern
that has been found in temples, burial
sites, and sacred locations around the
world. The pattern, shown often in the works of Leonardo Da
Vinci, has a unique quality. Within this pattern, all the
geometric forms known in creation can be found. Thus, the
Flower of Life symbol is known as a symbol of Creation that
clearly expresses the unity of all separate objects in creation.
Geometric models mirror our consciousness. Just as our
bodies are expressions of our consciousness in a physical
form, the physical geometric forms are representations of the
original geometry of light that exists beyond the physical level.

On this original level beyond the physical, geometric forms

fluidly transition into each other, representing how our
consciousness continuously transcends and moves into higher
and higher states of evolution. The key element that ties the
geometry together is that of the spiral, creating a tree of
transcendent geometries that represent our true infinite
nature. Many of the workshops offered in the SOLi School,
especially those from Ronald Holt, explore these concepts in
profound and yet tangible ways.
Sacred geometry is the study of geometric forms and their
metaphorical relationships to human evolution as well as a
study in fluid evolutionary transitions of mind, emotions,
spirit, and consciousness reflected in the succeeding
transition from one sacred geometric form and its related
consciousness state, into another.
Sacred Geometry by Leonardo Da Vinci
Many of the ancients deeply studied sacred geometry and its
connection to the creation of physical reality as well as
consciousness. One of the most well known is Italys master
artist and inventor, Leonardo Da Vinci. The drawings to the
left are all by Leonardo and are from the following books:

Why is Sacred Geometry
Important?
When we take the journey to
explore Sacred Geometry, it
aids us in mapping our inner
landscape. Through these
powerful metaphors, the
unknown becomes known
and we begin the process of
awakening from an unconscious to a conscious state of being.
The teachings of Sacred Geometry help us not only
understand, but actively interact with our Divine nature in a
tangible way. The ancients knew the power of Sacred
Geometry and thus incorporated it into the most sacred of
architecture as in some of the most magnificent temples and
cathedrals known on Earth. We explore some of these sacred
sites in the section called Around the World.

Another reason that Sacred Geometry is important and

relevant to us today is because it reflects the fractal and
holographic natures of consciousness. Fractals, found in
nature, are self-similar patterns that repeat in both the small
and large scale. The phrase as above, so below is an
expression of a fractal reality that points to the truth of our
divine nature being reflected in a physical reality, even if we
have not yet learned to recognize or embrace it.
Consciousness is also holographic. Put simply, a hologram
reflects fractal principles because its properties repeat, no
matter how large or small the image. For instance, a hologram
of a tree may physically be able to be cut into several pieces.
But upon closer examination of the hologram, the complete
image of the tree will still be present, no matter how small
theoretically, even beyond the physical and into the quantum
level.
It is this ability of Sacred Geometry to model and reflect these
important characteristics of consciousness that have
captivated mystics, philosophers, and shamans all over the
world since ancient times. They have been attempting to
answer the age old questions, How did the diversity within
the physical world seemingly come from nothing?' and, Is
there a hidden pattern or template on a quantum level that
organizes reality? These questions invariably lead to, What
is the nature of consciousness?

By drawing sacred geometry models, learning about these

unseen patterns, and seeing the universe reflected in physical
reality on small and large scales, we can begin to intuit our
place in the cosmos as being an intricate piece of a very large
puzzle. Through the awareness of sacred geometry we come
to see the paradox of separation and unity as being two
expressions of the Whole always pointing us back to the
Divinity of creation that is within us waiting to be recognized.
Sacred Proportions and Fractals in Nature
These are just a few examples of sacred proportion and
fractals found in nature.
They are all around us!
Through the many
workshops, articles and
offerings from the SOLi
School, our goal is to
help seekers tangibly
access this Divinity in
ways that can be applied in physical life, and to help them
profoundly recognize their connection to a greater reality of
which we are all a part.
The Platonic Solids The Building Blocks of Creation

As we saw above, these templates of creation manifest on the

physical level in many forms. The physical manifestations are
an archetypal expression of the energy fields beyond the
physical. Sacred geometry in nature is then a tangible
expression of the archetypal matrix of creation that acts as the
building blocks of reality.
These ideas are perhaps best expressed by Michael S.
Schneider in the book, Beginners Guide to Constructing the
Universe:
As ideal geometric patterns materialize, theyre clothed with
four thicknesses of garment, four densities of mother
substance, unfolding as light and thickening through phases
of gas, liquid, and solid. In mythic terms, the Demiurge
(creator) is said to conquer chaos by dividing it into four
elements.
Constructing the universe, therefore, involves the process of
volumization. The archetypal field where the patterns first
appear is a sphere, a Monad. The geometry that arises within
this sphere is obligated to manifest the Monads principal of
equality in all directions.
Nature adheres to this principle by configuring primary
volumes that divide the sphere equally in all directions. There
are only five volumes that fulfill this requirement of equality

by repeating the identical corner angles, edge lengths, and

surface shapes around a sphere.
These five volumes were described by Plato in Timaeus and
are so known to mathematicians as Platonic Solids. Four
were identified by Plato with the four ancient elements, or
states of matter, and the fifth, the quintessence (fifth being),
represents their all-encompassing cosmos.
* Fire Tetrahedron
* Earth Hexahedron (Cube)
* Air Octahedron
* Water Icosahedron
* Ether or Heaven Dodecahedron
Mathematicians have long known there can be only five
possible equal divisions of three dimensional space. These
are the most economical expressions of space from which
natures designs derive their characteristics.

So let us examine these five divisions of three-dimensional

space that act as the building blocks of creation, and a few
more subtle divisions. Leonardo Da Vinci was fascinated by

these Platonic Solids and made many detailed drawings of

them. Below we offer a comparative chart of Leonardos
drawings of Platonic Solids first in a solid format, then in a
frame format. Next to each image, we have included a simple
drawing to help the viewer see its properties. Please note that
we have included additional forms called Star Tetrahedron,
Stellated Icosahedron, and Stellated Dodecahedron, which are
technically not included as Platos solids. We include them
because they were used by many ancient mystics and studied
by Leonardo Da Vinci. They also represent specific states of
consciousness that we (the SOLi School) and others explore
during in-depth sacred geometry studies.

Mystics through time have equated these forms to various

states of consciousness. Because geometric forms are
transcendent in their true energy state, they are never
stagnant. Thus, they can express the idea of the evolution of
consciousness. All the forms ultimately nest inside each other
to express the truth of our multidimensionality and the
holographic nature of our consciousness. This is a concept

that we at the SOLi School use often in our workshops not

only on a philosophical level but through experiential
exercises designed to help one tangibly feel this universal
connectedness.
