![]() Transcendence of the illusions of time and space result in the point of here and now, our most primal light of consciousness. The point needs no dimension, yet embraces all dimension. The PointĪt the center of a circle or a sphere is always an infinitesimal point. Our holistic perspectives, feelings and intuitions encompass the finite elements of the ideas that are within them, yet have a greater wisdom than can be expressed by those ideas alone. (Pi equals about 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937511…) It cannot be expressed in terms of the ratio of two whole numbers, or in the language of sacred symbolism, the essence of the circle exists in a dimension that transcends the linear rationality that it contains. The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, Pi, is the original transcendental and irrational number. All other symbols and geometries reflect various aspects of the profound and consummate perfection of the circle, sphere and other higher dimensional forms of these we might imagine. The circle is a two-dimensional shadow of the sphere which is regarded throughout cultural history as an icon of the ineffable oneness the indivisible fulfillment of the Universe. Atoms, cells, seeds, planets, and globular star systems all echo the spherical paradigm of total inclusion, acceptance, simultaneous potential and fruition, the macrocosm and microcosm. There is no point of view given greater or lesser importance, and all points on the surface are equally accessible and regarded by the center from which all originate. Starting with what may be the simplest and most perfect of forms, the sphere is an ultimate expression of unity, completeness, and integrity. (charcoal sketch of a sphere by Nancy Bolton-Rawles) This principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created. It is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. These inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances. In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos.
