The New Testament: The number 7 is said to be the sum of the Holy Trinity and the four corners of the world.

As mentioned above, the creation of the word in seven days as told in the Book of Genesis.

The chakras, or energy fields in our bodies: Muladhara, Swadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna, and Sahasrara.

Colors in the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Notes or pitches in a diatonic musical scale: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.

Thus, it’s worthwhile to take a deeper look at the number 7, which appears in important ways in our world and culture. Sacred Geometry looks at patterns that repeat in the Universe as evidence of the building blocks of existence. According to the story, the Creator made the world in seven days. This creation, leading to seven interconnected spheres, which are illustrated in the Seed of Life Symbol, coincide with the story of creation in the Book of Genesis. From the two spheres, the Creator added a third sphere that interconnected with the first two, and then a fourth, a fifth, and so on. The two spheres are represented by a symbol called a vesica piscis:įollowers of Sacred Geometry believe these spheres were the blueprint for more complex structures, which formed life and the Universe.

The Creator then made a second sphere, which intersected with the first.

From there, a sphere began to form, which held the consciousness of the Creator. According to Sacred Geometry, a divine creator built the shape and then spun it on its axis like a top.

For those who believe in the divine creation of the Universe, the first step began with the creation of an octahedron. Many spirals found in nature follow the mathematical pattern of the Fibonacci number sequence, which starts with 0 and 1 and then increases with the sum of the previous two numbers, such as 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on.įor followers of Sacred Geometry, the Seed of Life symbol contains the building blocks for existence. Symbolically, a spiral represents the expansion outward from a single source, which grows or gains power. From sunflowers to hurricanes, galaxies, seashells, and even coiled snakes, we can find spirals.

The Fibonacci Spiral is a pattern that repeats throughout nature and the greater Universe. One example of Sacred Geometry is the Fibonacci Spiral, which I wrote about in my post about Snake Meanings and Symbolism. The “sacred” part is a belief that these patterns, their mathematical formulas, and their structure are evidence of divine planning and creation. According to Sacred Geometry, patterns in nature are viewed from a mathematical viewpoint and they have broad implications. Rooted in the Seed of Life’s meaning is a school of thought referred to as Sacred Geometry. The design is not only beautiful it has profound symbolic meaning. The image looks like a set of equally proportioned flowers. There are six circles on the outside, which interconnect with the seventh circle in the middle. The Seed of Life is a two-dimensional illustration that consists of seven circles of the same size, which overlap.
