Shapes happen when shades fills up spaces between lines. Shape is an area defined by an outline. Shape is the foundation of form.
Form is nothing but shape with dimension. Dimension gets created with the addition of shade transitions within the shape.
Form is non-existent without dimension added to shape by shades that determines the relative depth of a surface.
Form is created in a painting by rendering dimension through shades that give the illusion of shadow & light to a shape.
Shape is only brains attempt at interpreting something as recognisable to one’s experience.
Geometric language of nature is Sacred Geometry — according to that — Shape is really a pattern of energy movement frozen in space, a pattern which nature gives a specific power.
Many ancient traditions say that the essence of creation is not matter; but a flexible geometric energy grid behind matter — a Matrix of Space-Time. Matter actually warps this background space-time grid.
Energy into Shape creates Function — energy programmed to do a certain function, takes on a specific power, due to the movement pattern it is given by Nature — such a movement pattern, frozen in space, is shape.
Geometric shapes, patterns have specific meanings in ancient indian philosophy of worship — Yantra
A Yantra is a mystical geometric shape used predominantly as a tool in ancient Indian philosophy for worship.
A yantra is a tool – that performs a specific function to deliver something. The purpose of any tool is essentially aid in enhancing a faculty that we already possess.
Yantra provides a focal point to access stuff from the other side of that energy-grid behind matter.
The basic idea is that every shape emits (or is associated with) a very specific frequency and energy pattern.
The most basic Yantra is a triangle. An upward facing triangle is one kind of yantra — TRIKONA — the emblem of Shakti, the energy of creation. A downward facing triangle is another kind of Yantra — YONI — the emblem of the principle of creation.
The geometric shape — a Trikona — used to invoke the power potential of Shakti — is an example of the energy grid behind matter — found both in all of creation and within every created beings.
Even the simplest of shape — a dot is a Yantra — called a Bindu — an emblem representing the entire universe.
In tantra — Bindu is a symbolic representation of a form considered to be the source of the whole creation — Shiva
When you see a Bindu, shown as a dot, in a larger geometric shape — that shape is an unarticulated form of a Shivalinga — conversely, a linga is a more articulated form of the basic shape - Bindu.
There is an entire language based on energy, frequency and form that can be found in ancient texts. That is now an avenue of vibrational studies — sonic-geometric. The ancients called it mantras — sonic formulas; while yantras — geometric formulas ...
Vibrations are a rhythmic pattern of movement, the foundation from which matter is created.. Vibrations are wave-forms — with oscillations per unit of time which is called frequency. The vibration that affects us the most is our own.
In specific areas of the body is located vortices of energy - called Chakras - spirals of energy.
Sounds are vibrations. A mantra is composed of sounds — utterances, syllables, words, phonemes, or group of words set in an order to produce certain vibration so that in their form they capture the seed of the word. Mantra in Sanskrit literally means “self advise”..
OM is considered to be the first and foremost of all Mantras. OM is the vibration of the source of energy & contains all the sounds in itself — We are in essence living receivers and transmitters of vibrations.
“There is geometry in the vibration of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.” – Pythagoras BC 580-500
Forms, shapes — Geometry is at the core of the ancient wisdom — from Pythagoreans to Pharaohic Egypt, of the Kabbala and the Vedas, the Sufis..
Everything in this universe—Everything that exists, manifests as volume/dimension — Expressions of dot/point, line, shape, form — basically surface geometry defines existence.
All phenomena are but projections of an implicate order. All of existence has a form — every levels of experience, mental, emotional and physical, had a volumetric existence, they have shape — a boundary, defined by geometry. The encoding of being in substance is geometry...
A geometry of archetypal pattern — a language of light — the ancients called the matter-world a play of symbols-forms representing cascading realms of higher realities.
“number” is a measure of reality, giving meaning & dimension to any environment — Geometry is a proportional relationship of number in space — the translation of principles into form.
“ratio” is a mathematical principle found from numbers, molecules (including the dna molecule) right upto spiral galaxies.
Ratio is a universal relationship that exists between two elements of an equation in a natural situation.
In geometry, ratio is expressed in numbers, lengths, shapes and forms.
Two numbers are said to be in a golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two numbers. Mantras have precise golden ratio — 1.618 sound harmonics.
Earlier in the thread, Yantra was described as a tool— an instrument. Yantras are instruments of geometric imagery that visually represent the harmonic vibrations of mantras (sounds oscillating at subtle frequencies).
A Mantra is an instrument of the mind, or a tool for thought — the seeds of mantra — single-syllable words that carry the essence of a principle. Any Yantra is a visual geometric form of the energy from the vibrations of Mantra.
Here is The Yantra of Creation — a geometric pattern formed in the way that nine diverse triangles interlink to form 43 smaller triangles — the Sri Yantra.
The Sri Yantra is believed to be the image of the OM mantra —the primordial sound of creation..
The study of sound and how frequencies influence matter is essentially a domain called cymatics — it is a known fact that sound waves impact water/sand, causing patterns and ripples —
By observing cymatic action, it has been figured out that sound waves impact the body — human body is about 70 percent water.
The human body has a direct influence on the mind, by changing the body, we change the mind the same way sound waves influence water and sand. Conversely, when the mind changes, so does the body.
Pythagoras described geometry as visual music. By applying laws of frequency and sound in certain ways - music is created. States of harmonic resonance are produced when frequencies are combined in ways that are in unison with universal law.
Geometric shapes can be orchestrated in ways to produce visual symphonies — a harmonic unification of diversity
Yantras are interdimensional gateways linking consciousness to the realms of archetypes and the infinite.
The relationship of form, movement, space and time is evoked by the Yantra — diagrams in which the structure of creation-of reality-is symbolized as geometrical patterns — like a map to integrated states of being and to all of observed physical phenomena.
When physical phenomenon are represented in terms of geometry — things like gravity, charge, spin & experience becomes an interplay of space-time and mass
Mass teaches space how to expand-space teaches mass how to move.
When time gets spatialized, Gravity remains no longer a force — Gravity becomes an effect of the geometry or curvature of the space-time continuum.
Equations reduce to patterns of number & operations — and forces like electromagnetism gets explained mathematically
Forces in Nature get interpreted as an effect of geometry — grids of energy springing from the balance of polarities — positive and negative — principle of thought and action — idea and power — all drawn from the other side of the energy-grid of matter — dance of Shiva-Shakti
Shiva — the unmanifest and Shakti — the manifest; Shiva —the formless and Shakti — the formed.
All of manifestation, gravity, electromagnetism, all forces of nature are an effect of the bending of space.  Physics is geometry — John Wheeler
All material bodies & forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space itself —Edwin Schoedinger
The principles of creation unfold out of an underlying pattern of geometry — the Shakti principle of manifestation springing from the Shiva principle of energy — dualities in geometry, woven in time and space — consciousness and matter.
The Shakthi principle is that of power requiring the Shiva principle of order to create — What is called the Shakti principle, modern science recognizes it as electromagnetic frequencies — the primal energy source of form. Energy that is in eternal motion.
The Vedas say “Everything is a manifestation of oscillating energy — the Shakti principle when reduced to its most basic state, causing creation to pulse with the rhythms of energy moving in waves — energy that subsequently becomes sound, light, heat, and ultimately form.”
According to Gnosticism — Existence is the vibration upon space that causes a densification — manifestation in matter to occur.  Emanation, not creation, is the Gnostic Law of manifestation.
What we call matter is actually energy — a vibration so low that it cannot be perceived by our senses. There is no matter — Albert Einstein
Thought dancing upon the medium of the mind giving rise to all things manifest with thoughts consequently getting bound up in form.
The expression of thought in form is called feeling — feelings are related to the manifestation of time which is awareness — consciousness. Emotion is a key to awareness — like a mirror in which a thought sees itself and merges with its own reflection in singularity.
