Sacred geometry is based on the idea that geometric shapes, as they appear in nature and as they may be constructed by human art, are a means by which mystics aim to teach the secrets of the universe to those who wish to know.
Symbols are, after all, a language in and of themselves.
The Vesica Pisces is one of the most widely used geometries from ancient to modern times.
In three dimensions this shape is two spheres which have merged so that the center of each lies on the edge of the other.
The two dimensional description of this shape is two equal circles which intersect, so that the center of each lies on the circumference of the other and the shape formed by the intersection is a pointy ended oval.
The whole geometry is known as the vesica pisces, the overlaping oval is the vesica.
These shapes form the basis of the Flower of Life and are commonly found in the decoration of sacred bulidings and their architecture across virtually all known spiritual traditions.
The over lapping circles can be viewed in 3 states:
*the one in process of becoming two- separation,
*the two in process of becoming one- unification and
*the two in process of becomming three- procreation.
