The geometry of the world: Form as an expression of feeling

David E. Lloyd, MA 

David Lloyd invites us to see form as an expression of feeling, a notion whereby the physical world becomes the geometric expression of inner emotion, carrying—or, better yet, mirroring—in its patterns the qualitative structures of feeling. This essay is not an analytical argument, but an invitation to imagine reality in a different, richer way, taking its metaphysical cues from a form of objective idealism.

In every sunflower’s spiral, every snowflake’s six-fold symmetry, and every heartbeat’s rhythm, there lies a hidden intelligence—one that whispers a deeper truth: the universe is not constructed from inert particles, but from living patterns of conscious intent. These patterns are not just mathematical structures; they are feeling forms—sacred geometries that breathe, resonate, and remember.

This understanding is not new. Ancient civilizations encoded it in their temples and mandalas, their myths and mysteries. What is new is our capacity today to bridge these sacred insights with the emerging frontiers of science, emotional intelligence, and philosophy. As one who has worked in the realm of higher education for over two decades, I’ve watched the split between science and spirit widen—only now to see the glimmers of a great reunion.

This essay offers a framework for understanding reality as an expression of what I call The Living Pattern—a synthesis of sacred geometry, emotional-form intelligence, and consciousness idealism. It is a vision rooted in reverent intuition, pedagogical clarity, and lived experience—a meeting place for the sage, the scientist, and the soul.
