What our senses respond to is the geometrical and proportional harmonies and wave forms created through the application of sacred geometry. As stated in Islam, and echoed in all Abrahamic and Hindu religions, sacred geometry provides the means to see the vestiges of God and Its multiplicity in the universal order of things.
