nautilus

Sacred geometry involves sacred universal patterns used in the design of everything in our reality, most often seen in sacred architecture and sacred art.

Many forms observed in nature can be related to sacred geometry. For example, the chambered nautilus grows at a constant rate and so its shell forms a logarithmic spiral to accommodate that growth without changing shape.

I have always been fascinated by sacred geometry and the nautilus and am excited to finally produce a picture of one that I am proud of.

    I’ve always admired the chambered nautilus, mainly because Science can’t explain why they know how to do the sacred geometry. I love nature mysteries like this, they are clues to another reality.

    A very wise person once told me – “If you want the answers to life, just look outside your window… nature holds all of the answers.”

    You have reason to be proud – this is just gorgeous. Sacred geometry appeals to me, although I have to admit it’s a bit much for my brain to take in…

  • Terry Hinkle replied

    Thank you.
    Yes, reading about sacred geometry can make your eyes cross sometimes… but it happens naturally all around you and inside of you.
