  • Sacred Space begins with our awareness

    Sacred Space begins with limited but real awareness. Around the need to preserve and bring to sprout first, and then maturation, our existential seed. This safeguarding perimeter is solidified through the inner practices of meditation and prayer. And other operations that act as an opposing force to the agents of prevarication. And as an active energy flow aimed at the progressive strengthening of our dormant qualities and inner aspirations.

    The Sacred Space from a small nucleus of rebirth and subsistence, little by little, in relation to the commitment lavished on it, will expand its circumference. Up to the point where from a simple locus where we can cultivate ourselves, it will become the area that will allow us to organize our entire inner and outer life. Its walls will be insurmountable barriers. Solid walls where our philosophical city will be born and we can aspire to reconstitute our Body of Glory.

    We must practice because we cannot and must never allow ourselves the luxury of leaving out our spiritual works. As otherwise we would be prey to the outside world, and continue to live a life, not ours. A life that is imposed on us from the moment of our birth.

    Practice must become as natural for us as breathing, a daily moment to which to devote the attention it needs. As we know everything else, and we already know what the epilogue of all human things will be, death and dissolution, preceded by an expectation disguised by repetition. Here then the practice, the magical space, becomes another path, another path that we can and must take. Inasmuch as it is exclusively personal, and the fruits we will benefit from will be authentically and perpetually ours.

    Hence our need to erect a sacred space where what is impure and external cannot breakthrough, and where we can celebrate what is divine in us. What is the construction of the sacred space if not the ability of each of us to draw a circle? And to prevent what is beyond it from confusing us and confusing what is inside it?

    Hence the initial value of the practice, namely that of establishing an impassable wall to prevent those chaotic and hypnotic forces that tend to constantly distance us from ourselves. Only once this wall has been erected, will it be possible to organize the interior space, understand it, rectify it, and operate a constant expansion. In the moment in which we will have understood how human nature is a very composite and changeable thing, and as a result, we will have distinguished a sacred part from a natural one. We will build the sacred space where through the incessant work we will reap the fruits of our inner logos.

  • Sacred Geometry is a universal language

    Sacred Geometry is a beautiful dance of art, science, and spirituality. Expressed in forms and symbols that are powerfully healing and awakening. It is the connection of our body with Our Planet and of our Soul with the Cosmos.

    Sacred Geometry is a universal language that describes the inner workings of nature and the intrinsic order of the Universe.
    It is the natural measure that unites all forms of life from microbes, to plants, from animals to humans to the motions of the planets and stars.

    Sacred Geometry demonstrates how different elements can be organized into a whole while retaining their individual uniqueness.
    Everything has an underlying geometric pattern that connects it to the Cosmos. It symbolizes the relationship between form, movement, space, and time.

    Everything that appears solid in the world is actually in a state of vibration. Nature is abuzz with pulses, oscillations, wave motions, rhythms, and cycles in a vast spectrum of universal energies, all of which can be defined as vibration and frequency. The frequency can be expressed through the number and the number through the shape which is geometry.

    Sacred geometry is the constant

    Everything in the world is energy in a constant state of change.
    The total sum of the energy in the Universe does not increase or decrease but is continuously transformed from one state to another.
    There is no end, only change. The end of one cycle marks the beginning of another.

    Sacred geometry is the constant amidst an ongoing process of change. Our physical bodies are in a state of constant change. Each atom of each molecule is continuously modified and replaced.

    The DNA molecule is generally considered to be the vehicle of continuity. However, the information to be replicated is not encoded in the physical DNA molecule. Or the elements of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen that make up the DNA, because they too are continually modified and replaced.

    The vehicle of continuity is a geometric spiral (helix) that provides an invisible pattern on which DNA is structured. The spiral is based on archetypal geometric proportions that existed prior to the physical state. It is these invisible geometric proportions of the spiral that are responsible for the replicating power of DNA.

    Similarly, the process of photosynthesis in plants occurs because the geometry of the carbon, hydrogen, magnesium, and nitrogen elements of the chlorophyll molecule is organized in a twelve-fold harmonic arrangement. These same elements in any other arrangement will not transform radiant energy into a vital substance.

    What can Sacred Geometry do for you?

    If you work in graphic design, or any other type of design work, awareness of sacred geometric patterns will help you train your brain to see patterns and improve your design and skills. Studying sacred shapes and patterns could give you some great ideas for your next project.

    The left hemisphere of our brain tends to be the more logical, technical side, while the right is typically the creative and intuitive side. For most of us, one side of the brain is usually dominant.

    The nature of Sacred Geometry involves both sides of the brain and helps them work together. This can make you more effective in life in general.

    You can use the symbols of Sacred Geometry as an aid to meditation, this will increase your connection with the Universe and make you more receptive to its messages.

  • The Spirit of Love and Light is Omnipresent

    The spirit of love and light is omnipresent and includes all of nature, this happens because God is everywhere. This spirit takes different forms in people, animals, plants, and natural elements. Trees have always been associated with spirituality, divination, and healing. In ancient times, Celtic druids were known as tree experts. It is said that from the trees, the druids had learned much of the information in their possession.

    Socrates also argued that the oak was a kind of oracle capable of predicting the future and revealing important information. It is not only the oaks that are considered sacred trees. Other trees considered sacred and divine symbols are the willow, pine, olive, and laurel.

    The active ingredients of aspirin were extracted from the bark of the white willow. Joseph of Arimathea walked with the help of a stick made from a branch of sacred hawthorn. Pine trees produce an oil which is a natural ointment used to relieve pain.

    All these examples must make us understand the importance of trees and lead us to have respect for these creatures of God. The spirits of trees live within each plant, just like the soul lives in the body of us human beings.

    It will have happened to you at least once in your life, to glimpse a face in the knots of the trees or in the streaks of the bark. If you pause to look at the trees with an open heart and mind, you will be able to see how the trunks of old oaks or pines look like old gentlemen. These are the faces of the tree spirits.

    Just like people, tree spirits also have personalities. It is possible to build a real relationship and a relationship based on trust with these beings. Probably the most important thing these spirits teach us is to deepen the bond with nature and to respect it.

    Just like any tree, plants also have a spirit. We must learn to respect the spiritual essence of plants. A good habit is to talk to plants. Plants hear our words and are able to appreciate sincere compliments and loving care. This explains why people who talk to their flowers have lush gardens and balconies.

    God manifests his spirit, the spirit of love and light, through all the creatures around us. To connect with these spirits it is necessary to have an empathic heart and an open mind. We respect these creatures, establish a connection with them and learn to live in communion with nature.

  • Popular religiosity between religion and superstition

    Popular religiosity has at times been seen as a pure expression of faith and devotion on the part of the people, and at times as a deviation from the orthodox principles and rites of the Catholic religion. But what are the expressions and manifestations of popular religiosity? And how deeply rooted are they in our culture and our religious tradition?

    Pope Pius VI expressed himself about popular piety – Particular expressions of the search for God and faith are found among the people. For a long time considered less pure, sometimes despised. – Popular piety – popular religiosity – popular religion – are different expressions that often have ended up designating all the same thing. Demonstrations of faith that originate from the lower strata of the population and that often did not find space and recognition on the part of Catholic orthodoxy.

    Popular religiosity has its own rites, symbols, and languages ​​that express purity and spontaneity, but which are far from randomness or improvisation. They are rites deeply rooted in popular culture and also for this reason they allow a less formal and less intellectual approach to religion. They embody the profound spirituality of the humblest people and having popular roots, they are often linked to nature, the earth, and the passing of the seasons.

    Rites and language of popular religiosity

    The rites of popular religiosity have not always been opposed by the official Church. Often certain customs have become part of the actual religious rites. Think of the use of kissing and touching sacred statues, images, relics, or other sacred objects. To the habit of accompanying the saints in procession or to go on pilgrimage to sacred places. Even presenting offerings and votive gifts or kneeling in an act of prayer are symbols and expressions that come from afar and that have been handed down from generation to generation.
