Outline
- The First Cause is commonly referred to as God, the Supreme Geometrician of the Universe.
- The three fundamentals of any first cause may be geometrically represented by the point, circle, and its radius.
- These three fundamentals are manifested in all philosophies and religions as Omnipotent Good (Energy/Power of Life), Omniscient Beautiful (Consciousness of Love), and Omnipresent Creative Sound of Light (Word of Truth made Matter).
- The third of these three generates four radii according to the golden proportion Phi. Thus, the five-pointed star — the Promethean Light Bringer — is born.

Understanding the First Cause: Exploring Geometry and Spirituality

Have you ever wondered about the connection between geometry and spirituality? How mathematical concepts and symbols can hold deeper meaning beyond their physical properties? Understanding the First Cause, also known as the root cause or ultimate cause of all existence, can shed light on this connection. In various philosophies and religions, the First Cause is often associated with God or the Supreme Geometrician of the Universe. In this blog post, we will apply the intuitive sense to explore the three fundamentals of the First Cause and their derivatives.
The point is a fundamental concept that appears in various philosophies and religions. In many spiritual beliefs, the point represents singularity, unity, and potential. The concept of a point is also important in geometry. It is the foundation for all geometric shapes, despite having zero dimensions. In essence, a point has no depth, length, or width, but its existence is essential in shaping everything around it.
The circle is another geometric shape that holds significant symbolism in different cultures. For example, in Hinduism and Buddhism, the mandala, a circular design, represents wholeness and the universe’s interconnectedness. In ancient Greece, the circle represented perfection and infinity.
The radius is a significant component in shaping circles and plays a crucial role in their measurement and calculation. Like the point and circle, the radius also has symbolic meaning. It represents expansion, growth, and connection. The radius — a vector — is essential in expanding the reach of a circle and connecting two points on its circumference.
The Three Fundamentals and Their Manifestation
According to various spiritual beliefs, the First Cause comprises three fundamentals: Omnipotent Good (1), Omniscient Beautiful (2), and Omnipresent Creative Sound of Light (3). These three fundamentals can be related to the point, circle, and radius, respectively.
Omnipotent Good represents the potential within the point, while Omniscient Beautiful represents the circle’s perfection and infinity. Lastly, Omnipresent Creative Sound of Light symbolizes the radius’s expansion and connection, the Word of Truth made flesh.
These three fundamentals manifest in varying degrees in different philosophies and religions. For example, in Hinduism, the Trimurti consists of three deities: Brahma (3), Vishnu (2), and Shiva (1), representing creation, preservation, and destruction, respectively. In Christianity, the Holy Trinity comprises the Father (1), Son (2), and Holy Spirit (3). Understanding the connection between the First Cause and these fundamentals can provide insight into how geometry and spirituality intertwine.
These three fundamentals can be differentiated further into seven derivatives, according to simple combinatorial mathematics of three elements: A, B, C, AB, AC, BC and ABC. Thus, the imagery of Seven Spirits before the Throne, Seven Rishis, and Seven Rays or Directions (vectors of energy) can be intuitively created with mathematical certainty. The seven musical notes of the diatonic scale and the seven colors of the rainbow, derived from three primary colors, are material expressions of this cosmic algebra.
The first radius, which is the third element of the original triune of the first cause represented in two-dimensional space, can be conceptualized as generating four other radii within the circle, according to the golden proportion Phi. The resulting five radii would yield a five-pointed star inscribed in the circle, corresponding to the five Platonic archetypes: the tetra-, hexa-, octa-, dode- and icosa-hedra.
There are five, and only five, regular polyhedra (identical, regular polygons) in at the same three-dimensional angles) possible in three-dimensional Euclidean space. These five correspond to the five elements, i.e., earth, air, fire, water, and the universe (ether).

In conclusion, understanding the First Cause’s three fundamentals and their connection to geometry and spirituality can provide unique insights into philosophical and spiritual beliefs across various cultures. The concept of the point, the circle, and the radius holds significant meaning beyond their mathematical properties, and the exploration of these meanings can lead to a better understanding of ourselves and the universe around us. The reader is encouraged to dive deep into the significance of geometry and symbolism in their own spiritual or philosophical beliefs.
