Sacred Geometry and Mental Transmutation
Seeing the symbolic meaning of the first 10 numbers is interesting, also for the spiritual realizations that can be accomplished, but how can one proceed in the realization? Mental Transmutation How do I now that I know this symbolism of numbers operate to acquire these virtues? The crucial point around which everything revolves is that to start this type of knowledge of metarational intuition, therefore more advanced and of understanding and identification with these spiritual forces, I must maintain a mental concentration and a fixed mental flow on the idea to meditate on so as to make it become one with me. Example the idea of beauty, or of royalty, or of strength. If however I find it difficult to maintain this fixed concentration on an abstract idea like strength, beauty, royalty etc... then I use a geometric form corresponding to the number in question that helps me maintain fixed concentration on this idea. Geometric forms are the natural forms of the number. Therefore geometric forms serve to visualize numbers and therefore can be used in various ways that are all connected to each other but that are essentially and functionally different. Geometric diagrams can be used for different purposes: 1. to symbolically illustrate a doctrine 2. as concentration support for meditation 3. to invoke the presence and action of the number This is an important point: If I want to know a doctrine or illustrate a doctrine I refer to the symbolism of numbers, but generally when I draw a geometric figure I want to invoke the action of the number, the presence of the number. For this reason, for example, temples are made that have geometric forms, so that consciously or unconsciously, by resonance the forces invoked by the geometric forms immediately return to the individual's consciousness. For us instead the aspect that interests us most is that of geometric figures as meditation and concentration support. In this case therefore geometric figures are a support for attention, for concentration that therefore can lead to meditation. This is crucial for us, why? Because MENTAL TRANSMUTATION can only occur thanks to A LONG AND POWERFUL CONCENTRATION of the mind on predetermined concepts. If for example I want to acquire a virtue, a quality, such as intelligence I must concentrate on what Divine Intelligence is, feel myself as one with it and let myself be transformed by it until I become one. I can do it without support if I already have a certain facility of concentration, abstraction and meditation; otherwise since it is more difficult for me, I take a geometric figure like the five-pointed star. I draw it, concentrate on the five-pointed star as a symbol of Light and try to establish this contact with the divine Light which is also Intelligence and illuminates man's consciousness and the more I concentrate and fix the diagram the more I become awake, conscious and intelligent (obviously in a spiritual sense, not necessarily in an ordinary sense which is simply a measure of the person's versatility and logical ability). So once I have studied geometric symbolism well I have great power because I virtually have the possibility to establish direct telepathic contact with the most abstract, important and spiritually most elevated concepts that exist. It takes a certain MENTAL DISCIPLINE. FIRST GEOMETRIC LANGUAGE Circle, Point and Circle with Point 1 represents Unity, the Principle, that which gives beginning, which contains everything and from which everything originates. In particular the Point expresses it in its projective and masculine aspect while the circle in its receptive aspect. The Point represents the Monad, the indivisible unity endowed with active and propulsive force. The generator of all forms. Unity in its projective aspect. The point in general always represents a dynamic aspect and, since it is dimensionless, refers to a reality transcendent to the design itself. For example I can draw a point inside every figure and then that means the dynamic principle, it means that the figure contains a special presence, often refers to the divine presence that makes itself felt. The Circle represents perfection for its perfect symmetry, eternity and immobility for its invariance with respect to transformations. What is inside the circle is one whole, cannot be distinguished. If for example we represent symbols inside the circle these are a single symbol. The Circle is therefore used to separate what is internal to the circle from what is external to the circle. For example a first essential temple is generally in ancient traditions constituted by a simple magic circle that becomes a bulwark against infestations of evil. Those who have taken the Sacred Geometry course have seen that at the beginning every foundation of the temple occurred through the erection of a column and then tracing a magic circle. The column in this case represented the one capable of translating celestial fire, divine presence on earth and the circle was its protection and manifestation and separation from the profane world. The Circle with the Point combines both active and receptive aspects of Unity therefore it is the first state, the beginning, the fecundated matter, the Sun at dawn, the dynamized nothingness, the Will, the Spirit of Man. It is called the Eye of God therefore represents the Presence of God. That which is origin of man's motion or that which is origin of the divinity of gods, or that which is origin of life, etc... As you see every symbol while having an essential meaning, can be applied to various levels. For example the Circle with the point is the Eye of God, in the divine realm it is the Presence of God and his first manifestation, in the realm of planets it is the Sun, in Man it is the Spirit, in the individual it is the Will. etc... Therefore it is important immediately to keep in mind what is a fundamental law of symbolism in general but in particular of geometric symbolism: discriminating the plane of belonging to which we are referring in the analysis.
