Despite the divine nature of the mathematics used, or maybe because of it, the geometry proved to be superior for the construction of larger and larger monuments. It was believed that if they used only the most sacred and purest geometry, then these sites would focus and amplify the divine source of all things. Layouts of holy sites and temples were built using these sacred mathematical codes. If these seekers truly did understand divine secrets of the gods, then they must be able to demonstrate it through their own constructions and bring the divinity of nature into the realm of mankind. They were not prayers which were spoken aloud rather they manifested as the structures which reflected the source of all living things. Thus, these ratios and geometric patterns became akin to the most sacred of prayers. As they struggled to unlock these geometric secrets, they felt that they were approaching a level of understanding that could only be akin to sacredness. These ancient seekers believed that these subtle elements of their reality were indicators of a divine hand at work. Through countless years of endless computations, the most brilliant of minds discovered specific ratios and mathematical formulas upon which the natural world was formed. Thus they began to ask if their world could be broken down into simple mathematical formulas and the sacred pursuit of numbers was born. Many of these seekers already had an understanding of mathematics behind geometry. It was in their examination of the minute details that they found repeating geometric patterns. These rules are so subtle, that we see them every day, yet seldom acknowledge what we are seeing.Īncient seekers took the time to carefully observe the world around them. From the growth patterns of tree branches, to the design of an insect’s compound eyes, and on to the distances between the planets, everything in existence harkens to a hidden set of underlying rules. Throughout the entire natural world, a simple set of ratios and patterns govern the structure of all things.
