See through lens of sacred geometry

otice much misinformation and confusion arises in use of language and adopted meanings. Sacred geometry has been my core reality since childhood. I tune into everything as geometry first, decode energies into a human realm of perception.

In practice, the terms dimensions and realms are not the same. Sacred geometry serves as a tool to reveal dimensions are different points of view of the same reality. Math is the universal language. One view is nine dimensions frame our existence (1-9). To exist, a single dimension (point) must express itself into another. This creates polarity, or the second dimension. As these two points move, they create a third dimension, or an axis. These three points of view are energy in motion around each other which creates the fourth (time). This fourth dimension begins to generate energy and light, known as the fifth. Then, this 5 D shape can change it position which creates the sixth dimension. This said, the sixth dimension can move through and manifest itself as the seventh dimensional reality. The infinite motion of these changes is captured in the toroid or eighth dimension. Everything comes full circle to divine wholeness. This takes shape as the nineth where all universal laws and the conditions in each universe are clear. The cube precipitates the formation of the platonic solids that generate everything that exists in our dimensional reality. The merkabah is the light body vehicle and it is key to understanding how to move from between dimensions.

So, to tune into things from point of view of geometry helps us to realize that we are not actually moving from 3D to 5D. Rather, we embody all dimensions simultaneously already. It may be said awakening is about growing aware of our conditioned emotional processing of information, realizing we have options. As we tune into the vibrational nature of things, we can recognize disharmony, shift focus and connections to amplify a different or more all-encompassing view. We exist to recall what it is to be our true self, and experience a spectrum of energy.

As Mrs. Whatsit explains in the film trailer of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time: "The fifth dimension’s a tesseract. You add that to the other four dimensions and you can travel through space without having to go the long way around. In other words, to put into Euclid, or old-fashioned plane geometry, a straight line is not the shortest distance between two points.” A tesseract is an interstellar shortcut, more or less." Seeing as energy and geometry alters time.

See Life in a Nutshell

Notice none of us is a stranger to the darkness, to challenges or adversity. We exist to make the unconscious, conscious, to face our version of dark, to bring it to light and see things as they are. This is the cultural metaphor of the Hero's Journey, quest for the Holy Grail, the blossoming of the thousand-petalled lotus.

Admittedly, experience is not always wonderful. We might find ourselves engaged in conflict, feeling rejected, abandonned, humilated, betrayed, experiencing injustice or other suffering. Yet, we thrive in unlikely conditions. We are like the phoenix, rising from the ashes as we grow conscious of wisdom of true nature.

Everyone of us is special. None of us is like anyone else. Solving our own mysteries, unveiling, materializing our gifts, translating those into service, is the point of this human experience. We move through layers of energy fields at our own pace, detect and perceive is based on expanding levels of consciousness.

Notice effortlessness is a sign of how much we have evolved into the cosmic flow. Effortlessness is what it is. The journey to surrender is mind-blowing. At some point, the entire universe conspires to allow dreams to be. Resources, teachers, insights, simply come to us, without need to struggle.

Like the lotus opening, its petals blooming to their fullest in their delicate colours. The whole world can vibrate to the rhythm of that single flower. Blooming happens without us. Simple, gentle, sacred expression in multiple dimensions.

At some stage virtually everyone has experienced this natural flow. Until one learns to let go consistently, merge with the flow, miracles seem to happen. Yet, miracles can happen at will. To set the intention, create the energetic need and resources arise without any effort. Regardless of the dream or how big the vision is, it just happens smoothly, fluently, and silently, without making any noise.

Many ask, 'when can instant manifestation be my reality?' When our entire existence is flowing as the living of ‘Who we are’ and ‘How we are meant to live’. Our intentions, thoughts, and intellect, our heart, energy in motion, focus, existence, and co-existence, all align. True Nature arises. Purpose we imagine for us and purpose of Nature, are in harmony. Obstacles vanish. As we become sufficiently skilled at lucid dreaming (being aware of dreaming), we will eventually find our lucidity active while we are awake, eyes wide open, in full clarity.

In essence, energy of all existence is dancing. Infinity dances from the heart. That limitless joy, source of inspiration and serene presence, enriches everything. It is also far-reaching, boundless, and infinite. Here, in this state, 'miracles' happen. Whether noticed or not, miracles happen every single moment. All great works arise here. This is where masterful co-creations emerge.

Notice so often, many assume spiritual growth means achieving some extraordinary, other-worldly, blissed-out state where we are somehow transported out of where we are. This view leads us to constantly reach for the next spiritual high, focus on futures. Or we feel that with all our commitments, responsibilities we have few ways for developing our inner nature. Both of these views reflect an error in perception. Let's step back, take another look. 

In fact, our day-to-day experiences offer raw material for spiritual development. Conflicts that arise in our families and among colleagues, the pain of losing loved ones, or our resistance to paradigms, stories, events, do not prevent inner development. Rather, they point to our ignorance and all else that hinders us from knowing and embodying true nature. We must simply be willing to surrender to the process. We are each invited to meet situations that present with compassion. This is true nature. 

Many of us do not distinguish between true nature and our personality traits, particularly our less desirable traits. Thing is, we are not the body, mind, emotions, but spirit-soul. It is the nature of the untrained mind to want what it perceives as advantageous and resist what seems painful. Discovering how the heart and mind can work together allows us to move beyond resistance and start to know inner freedom. Every situation we create has potential to reveal our true nature.

At different stages, we can feel overwhelmed by life conditions or feel bound by past traumatic events. If and when this happens, we do not see things as they really are. They are just mind-states which can be known, seen as impermanent, do not belong to us. They do not define true nature. A spiritual practice can provide insight and discipline to explore our perceptions. We each must discover what is true for ourselves. Heresay does not cut it. We can each do this right where we are. There is no need to go to a monastery or get our life more together. The intensity of our will and fears is a catalyst that propels us to go down the rabbit hole.  We can choose how to see, reframe, respond to events that will lead us to a deeper relationship with true nature.

For many years, words by Viktor Frankl have inspired me. In his book, Man’s Search for Meaning wrote, “We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken away from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

It is crucial to understand, from a spiritual perspective, that the pain and suffering with which we work is no less substantial, or less real or difficult than those others face. The constrictions of the heart and mind cannot be measured like so many pounds of pressure; they are energies we learn to feel, harness and guide us back to true nature. Funny, the quest to reconnect with true nature is often lost in ordinary life. To be wrapped up in the mundane causes us to forget the big picture.

Buddha teaches that true nature is obscured by veils of wanting, fear, and delusion (or ignorance). He urges us to look at nature of our mind systematically and observe how these three mind-states condition what we think and value, and how we behave. He teaches that to identify with these mind-states causes suffering.
If we are not our thoughts, then what is our true nature, how do we find it, and how do we live so that it may flourish?

Well, the true nature of love is not based on ego strategy, but on the sheer openness of one heart to another. This is the kind of heart-opening that provides us with courage to face what arises.

Buddha also echoes our true nature is emptiness- a lack of a permanent Self- and when this true nature is realized, the divine states of the Brahma-viharas – loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity- emerge. There is also a state of mind and heart known as bodhichitta that leads one to completely dedicate oneself to the liberation of all beings from suffering. In the teachings of the great yoga masters, our true nature is Brahman, the universal soul, of which the individual soul is simply a part. When this is realized there is satchidananda, the awareness of bliss, from the knowing that pure awareness is our ultimate nature.

At some stage, it dawns, feelings of true nature are real. What Buddha describes are actual states of mind- body that can be physically and emotionally felt as profound consciousness shifts. For some people, these changes in consciousness have a strong physical component or a marked shift in perception. Some of us experience dramatically altered states of being. Others know subtle shifts in clarity, emotional centeredness, spontaneous acts of kindness. Every moment the body and mind experience true nature may feel transcendent, and manifestation simply occurs without effort. To know a “soft heart” is to act with selfless compassion. This is dwelling in the divine aspect of true nature. The new normal can feel like a transcendent moment.

Reclaim forgotten power

Notice each of us is the authority in our own version of reality yet for varied reasons, tend to forget this and give our power away. Let this moment be a turning point. Its up to each of us to take responsibility to move our lives forward, to grow aware of and let go of what no longer serves our highest good and the good of all. Reclaiming inner power can involve starting to see ourselves as the beautiful, strong, bold, and courageous beings we are created to be, putting heartfelt knowing into action. Reclaiming power also happens each instance we choose to forgive and love what we are taught to fear or hate so we can move on and it no longer controls us. Blossoming into more of true divine nature is about growing in wisdom and maturity to decode the signs and signals we give ourselves. Love the journey.
