Sacred Geometry and the Enneagram: The Adventures of a Solitary Soul (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781456495701)

Starting with the development of the simplest geometry, we have first shown in the following material how some thousands of years ago this was used to measure passing time, in particular the division of the day into hours, and the seasons of the year. Further development led to the use of such geometry in the construction of buildings and even the orientation of such buildings in relation to the stars. Still further development of geometry led to the concept of the Enneagram and its use as a means of teaching without the intervention of language. Further development resulted in its use as a symbol of our mentation processes. In the pages which follow, the intellectual elaboration of the Enneagram, leading to its movement and ever increasing complexity, begins to invoke feelings. As we follow this elaboration of the symbols involving moving, and feeling as well as intellect, we may eventually begin to experience moments when we go beyond these three ordinary aspects of mentation, and the symbol becomes a true symbol of transformation and as a result we momentarily have a direct experience of what is beyond the symbol, Higher Mind and the Totality.
