These are the complete student materials from Dr. Robert J. Gilbert’s seven-day Sacred Geometry Workshop of December 2006: the handouts, the annotated resource list, and the slide deck, for study alongside the free recordings or on their own.
In December 2006, Dr. Gilbert gathered a room of students for seven days and taught the foundation of his work in Sacred Geometry, drawing on what was then 25 years of research into the geometric foundations of spiritual development. For nearly twenty years the recordings stayed in the archive. Today they are free on our YouTube channel, one full day per video, left whole, because the teaching assembles day by day into a single structure.
Now, the students in that room received something the camera could not record. Each of them carried a violet binder stamped with a winged sun. Part One was in it on the first morning, Part Two was handed out on the third day, and at the back, behind a colored page separator, sat the Sacred Geometry Resource List. Those pages are what you receive here.
If you have watched the sessions, you have already heard Dr. Gilbert point to them, about a hundred times across the seven days. If you have not, the handouts stand on their own as a written foundation in this science, and the recordings are there, free, whenever you want to sit in the room. As he told the students on the first morning, “And some of them we’re not going to be discussing just because of time but are here for you to pursue through reading.”

Sacred Geometry: The Divine Alphabet of Creation
Handouts by Robert J. Gilbert, Ph.D.
with sections by co-instructor Jane Weaver
Part One opens with a definition that governs everything after it: “Sacred Geometry is the study of the patterns which create the manifest world. It is a Master Key to both Spirit and Science.” Every form in it is a letter in a Divine Alphabet, and these handouts teach that alphabet the way it has always been taught, one form at a time: the sphere, the vesica, the three sacred roots, the torus and the vortex, the Divine Proportion, the four ethers, the Platonic solids, and at last the geometry of the Earth itself.
These pages are not a transcript of the lectures and were never meant to be. They hold what a lecture cannot: the practices written out step by step, the correspondence tables, the compass and Zometool constructions, and the reading list he introduced on the first morning.

What is included:
- Student Handout, Part One (51 pages). The opening weekend: what Sacred Geometry is, how it reaches into the human being, and the research pages behind the Net and the Temple.
- Student Handout, Part Two (89 pages). The five days that followed, form by form, with the written practices and the essays he leaves for you to read.
- The Sacred Geometry Resource List (65 pages). His annotated reading list across every tradition the workshop touches.
- The Slide Deck (83 slides). The images he projected, from the opening map of the field to the Platonic solids.
Practices written out in these handouts include:
- The Lemniscate Meditation (Head, Heart, and Hara connected through the spark in the Heart, with the four mantras of the practice.)
- The Cubical Cross Meditation (the three axes of space meeting in the center of the head, and why this “Christic Cross” is one of the key patterns which construct human consciousness.)
- The Internal Four Ethers Exercise (the preliminary meditation of the Greek Christian Hermetic school of Daskalos.)
- Divine Triangles in the Human Energy Field (a nine-step Greek Hermetic practice built from the two Grail Points above the shoulders.)
- The Sacred Geometry of Esoteric Breathing Patterns (the Greek, Rosicrucian, Yogic, and Sufi methods, and why the Rosicrucian method treats the breath held out as the critical moment.)
- Compass and Zometool Constructions (the six-step layout of a temple, “Squaring the Circle of Heaven,” and part counts for the Tree of Life, the Double Cube, and the Rhombic Dodecahedron, “a very powerful Gateway form known to the ancient Mystery schools.”)
Topics covered in these handouts include:
- The Meaning of Vesica (why the balance of two polarities is the “middle way” of every tradition, and why Christ, Buddha, and the Virgin Mary are each shown within the same almond-shaped portal.)
- Higher Dimensions and Counter-space (the zero-point through which consciousness passes into spiritual realities, and the Grail Points where this is most effective.)
- Sacred Geometry and Human Consciousness (why the brain itself is built as a Vesica, and the two kinds of meditation which unite its hemispheres.)
- The Crown and the Kingdom (twelve perspectives on the energy center above the head, and why its use is vital to real Initiation.)
- Spiritual Resonance (the three energies known in BioGeometry® as BG3, and the qualities of the numbers 16 and 19.)
- Historical References to “The Net” (India, Egypt, Greece, Israel, the New Testament, and the Holy Grail tradition, each with its sources.)
- The Torus, the Vortex, and the Divine Proportion (why the vortex is the key form which moves energy and consciousness, and the Pentagram which encodes Phi.)
- The Yantra and the Mandala (what “insertion of the breath” means, and why a Yantra is not an idol.)
- The Four Ethers (the Rosicrucian science of etheric geometry, and the Greek approach to the same forces.)
- The Dodecahedron in Spirit and Matter (Robert Moon’s periodic table, the Double Dodecahedron, and why the Pythagoreans would not teach the fifth solid.)
The Resource List
Dr. Gilbert spent part of the first morning on this document, and he was plain about why: a seeker who does not know what has already been found will spend years recreating it. Across 65 pages and 289 entries he marks the three-star titles to begin with in each field, notes which books have gone out of print, and in 32 places tells you exactly what to look for inside a text. As he put it that morning, “Because it could be that the first half of the book really has nothing very exciting or interesting, but there on page 87 there is like this amazing revelation the person had.” The list follows the week, tool by tool, tradition by tradition, and form by form. Prices are 2006 prices. The notes are what you are buying.
The Slide Deck
The 83 slides Dr. Gilbert projected, prepared in November 2006, with 108 images. On the recordings you see them as the camera saw them in a darkened room. Here they are as he made them: the seven aspects of Sacred Geometry around one center, the human face and the city of Jerusalem on one blueprint, the Masters of the Net in Egypt and in Greece, the Kaaba, the Purusha mandala, mason’s marks, the net of space-time, and Robert Moon’s periodic table drawn in the Platonic solids.

What this is, and what it is not:
We want to be clear about what you are receiving. These are archival documents, issued to the students in 2006 and left as Dr. Gilbert left them: dense pages, headings in capitals, an occasional typo, and the older spelling “vesica pisces” throughout. We have not abridged, annotated, or updated them. Dr. Gilbert passed in February 2025, and there will be no new material from him. We release what exists, whole.
The guided practices he led on camera, Zero-Point Centering on Day 2, the two energy practices on Day 4, and the practicum in higher dimensions on Day 7, remain on the free recordings. The practices in these pages are the written ones, which the camera never carried. The week’s drafting sessions, led by Jane Weaver, were never filmed; her written material is here.
Start at Day 1 with the binder open. Press play, turn to “The Meaning of Vesica,” and keep a compass within reach. Nothing in this material is offered on authority. As Dr. Gilbert taught on the final day, “But again, don’t take my word for any of this, because as far as I’m concerned, the only thing that has any purpose or meaning is something that has become self-evident to you.”
Part One closes its welcome with a question he leaves to every student: “What will I do with this knowledge?”
