To complete the Japanese pictograph, continue from the bottom of the seven, drawing a large semi circle that flows up and around just underneath the top cross bar and spirals inward, to the core. It’s interesting to note that the 7 is the first 2 strokes of the Reiki power symbol Cho Ku Rei. Religious or mythological cosmology refers to seven heavens, seven chakras, seven planes of creation, the seventh son of the seventh son. Seven is seen by many cultures as the perfect number that holds creation and the universe together. Whether it’s 7 as we write it, or seven backwards, it is a symbol used in every written language. The number seven, an angled one with a top line, is considered a mystically powerful number. Think of a single tree, the stem of the flower, a cactus, the lone cowboy, the staff of the crucifix, the stem of the ankh, the last piece of asparagus on your plate. 1, the straight vertical line, is a powerful sacred geometric figure. Some of the most repeated designs are reflected in our numbers. The designs in the shells of sea creatures begin tiny and young, and also spiral out into time, space, and life. From the tiniest of nautilus shells to massive galaxies with giant tendrils of life spiraling out from their cores, extending for millions of light years. Spiral patterns are repeated throughout nature. The Phi symbol is the circle bisected by a staff. In geometry, it’s the golden spiral a logarithmic spiral whose growth factor is φ, the golden ratio. One of the wonders of nature is the Fibonacci spiral. Circles with designs such as the yin yang symbol. The concentric circles like the ones that raindrops make when they hit the surface of water. There are triangles, rectangles, and hexagons. There are recognizable repeated patterns everywhere we look. It’s essentially repeated patterns found in nature that we ascribe meaning or relationship to. It is associated with the belief that there is a spiritual constant, a universal mean, a geometer of the world.

I learned that sacred geometry ascribes symbolic and sacred meanings to certain geometric shapes and certain geometric proportions. As soon as I had an opportunity I looked it up. During a recent dinner with friends, I heard the term “sacred geometry.” It was spoken in reverence.
