Sacred Geometry

Actually even before the "Discordians" the pyramid is first and foremost identified with freemasonry which is perhaps the oldest secret society, then on to the Bavarian Illuminati, etc., etc.

You know, somewhere along the line people in secret societies forgot how to keep tham such a secret. Since if they were REALLY secret, no one would have heard about them.

As for identifying with the pyramid, I didn't say discordians were the first. I merely informed that they are one, probably of many!

Well secret only goes to a certain point.

I mean everyone knew such societies existed. That is not the point of contention, it is what goes on inside that the world doesn't know about.

This just blows my mind, geometry at its best proving that it doesn't always consist of conventional shapes and forms.

Indeed, very cool designs, but those have nothing to do with what I posted.

That could be argued since the interpretation of each individual varies. My interpretation of this thread was Geometry related, thus I felt compelled to post some architectural designs that are relevant to my views of what is sacred for me in Geometry. And since you are such a believer of individualism this point should be considered valid and your last comment invalid. 2+2=4. What shall you say now?

Okay, you get a big fat happy face for that!!!!

I have revived this thread with the intention of sharing this website which deals with sacred geometry in the Armenian church.

An interesting read.

Re: Sacred Geometry

Originally posted by Anonymouse The term "sacred geometry" is used by archaeologists, anthropologists, and geometricians to encompass the religious, philosohical, and spiritual beliefs that have sprung up around geometry in various cultures during the course of human history. It is a catch-all term covering Pythagorean geometry and neo-Platonic gometry, as well as the perceived relationships between organic curves and logarithmic curves.

It's also a series of patterns which Danny Carey uses as inspiration for some awesome beats.
