Week 4, Comments on Links

I have heard about sacred geometry before and while I was never fully "convinced" that there are a set up patterns that make up the universe and the natural world of our planet I have always been intrigued by patterns and shapes that come up time and time again. In the sacred geometry website, Rawles talks about the "geometrical archetypes" from which phenomena emerge. My immediate reaction to that is a dislike at the word archetype. I really have never thought of archetypes as valid because they seem to me to be a form of generalization and reductionistic thinking. I feel like if someone really wanted, he/she could fit anything into a system of archetypes that would not necessarily be true. So while I do agree there are patterns in the universe and in the natural world, I don't think they are archetypes and I feel like they are much more complex than we will ever know. But I'm interested in knowing what everyone else thinks...
