In geometry, a Torus is a
doughnut-shaped surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three
dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle, which does not touch
the circle. Examples of the Torus include the surfaces of doughnuts and
inner tubes.
In Sacred
Geometry
The
Torus is considered the first shape to emerge out of the genesis pattern.
It governs many aspects of life including the human heart with its seven muscles
that form a Torus. The Torus is literally around all life forms, all atoms, and
all cosmic bodies such as planets, stars and galaxies. It is the primary shape in existence.
The term
sacred geometry refers to geometry which is employed in the design of
sacred architecture or art. The underlying belief is that geometry and
mathematical ratios discoverable from geometry also underlies music,
cosmology and other observable features of the natural universe. This
belief was held from ancient times through the Renaissance and influenced
the construction of temples and churches and the creation of religious
art.
