[Buddha-l] Energy and "The Word"

[Kate Marshall]

Hi Jim,

Happily you do not have to take my word for it.  It's easy enough to read up 
on if you are interested.

Sacred science and phi aren't about numbers but shapes and relationships. 
Numerology etc. doesn't come into this.

The use of the Golden Ratio in such cathedrals is usually a stock example in 
books on sacred geometry.
Actually, it was architecture that first got me interested in sacred 
geometry as I wanted to find out more about the floor plans of  Hindu fire 
altars and temples, and Vastu, and why the 'square' in such plans and the 
stupa cube etc. were used to represent 'earth'.  Perhaps it also explains 
why the Egyptian pyramids are square pyramids and not, say, triangular 
pyramids.
