* ...The diameter of the earth and the moon
are as 11 and 3. Using these 2 numbers we draw their 2 circles touching each other. Now we enclose the earth circle in a square
and from its center we draw a circle through the centre of the moon. If pi = 22/7, the circumference of the circle = 44. The
square containing the earth circle has a side = 11 (Perim. = 44). Its measure = 31,680 miles...
...We now draw 4 moons at the 4 quarters of the earth and add 2 on each side of them (12 moons). The 8 added circles pass
through the 8 points where the square and the circle meet. This representation (circle squared by the earth and moon) is the key to ancient science and wisdom.. It's said to be revealed from time to time.
There are many references to it in the architecture of temples (e.g. Bible: St. John describes the Heaven city and
gives its dimensions based on the same numbers of the squared circle.)
* In the geometer's creation story certain mumbers are very prominent. The first is 5,040, the measure in miles of the combined
radii ot the earth and moon. It's the pivot of the numbers 1 to 10 (1x2x3x4x5x6x7 = 5,040; and 7x8x9x10 = 5,040). Plato mentioned 5040 as
the key to the esoteric diagram behind his ideal state constitution. 5040 also represents the female spirit of the
world that was there from the begining.
* In the esoteric schools of Egypt
and the ancient world, the purpose of teaching geometry was to understand how the world was made,
i.e. sacred geometry Every triangle, square, pentagon, etc.,
correspond to a certain power in nature. The ancient architects designed rooms and buildings by musical
ratios. A floor area of 1 by 2 represents the octave; 3 by 4 is the musical fith; 2 by 3 is the fourth;
8 by 9 is a tone, etc. The most perfect shape for a sanctuary dedicated to the earth is a cube.
Solomon's Temple was a cubical building, measuring 20 x 20 x 20 cubits. The Kaaba Shrine in Mecca is another
cube. Within is the holy stone, or black meteorite that marks the centre-point of the muslim world...

...The centre is where we put down the point of a compass before drawing a circle. In drawing our first circle,
we are illustrating an ancient story: The geometer's creation myth. It's a
story that occurs in sacred traditions worldwide. It begins with a creator who wanted to make a universe similar to
his... He needed 2 instruments, a compass and a t-square (the emblems of Freemasonry). With these he constructed
all the classical shapes of geometry, except the seven-sided figure representing the Mystery of Soul and that can never be
defined. (Visit---> A Sacred Geometry Experience: http://www.spiraloflight.com/ls_sacred.html )... These geometric shapes are behind the forms of everything that exists in this world, from the motions of the
heavenly bodies to the structure of the atoms.

* Squared-circle: pi = 22/7. If r = 7, Perim. circle = 44 = square with
11 as a side. For the ancients, the golden
number or factor y (it allows tracing triangles and rectangles with equal area as that of circles),
was the fraction 196/121, which Sqr. root, 14/11, was = 4 / pi or 28/2. A circle of r = 14/11 has same A as a rectangle of
22/7 and 196/121 sides; or a triangle with a base = 44/7 and H = 196/121... Hebrew word "Pardes" (paradise) encloses within the squared-circle of the "Exegesis", the verbal
key which opens the door of the Book of the Books...
