In 'CHARGE' of Life: Architecture of The Sacred & The Sustainable. Page 1 of 109 In 'CHARGE' of Life: Architecture of The Sacred & The Sustainable. Chapter Exerpt from 'Sacred Geometry & Coherent Emotion' Course Guide ( see: soulinvitation.com/course ) Jan, 2003 writings of Dan Winter - Assembled and shared by Implosion Group ( index ). In this part of our study of Sacred Geometry, let us imagine we are the arhcitect of the universe, and we wish to play "Sim-Universe" This is the next software game which should follow "Sim-City" and "Sim- Earth". When Lovelock, author of "The Gaia Hypothesis" wrote the software code in "Sim-Earth" which regulated how planted paramagnetic dolmen (sacred stones like Stonehenge and Avebury) affected evolution of genepools, he correctly projected that the burn rate of evolution would increase at the risk of available resource. - He did not understand WHY the addition of simple magnetic symmetry would increase the metabolic burn rate when fed to a compost pile - again by simply arranging stones like lenses to steer the magnetism into the 'pretty picture' we call symmetry. Our goal in this section is to understand this. What is the simple scientific pure principle which explains why adding SHAPE in simple symmetry to magnetism and electrical charge creates a direct means of FEEDING LIFE FORCE to biology and evolution ? Remember the evolution of consciousness IS the ability of a field effect (in this case the 'charge' radiance of genes and glands) to propagate and distribute itself. We have learned a little bit about how electric waves in the universal compressible medium can be arranged into patterns which create LIFE itself. We wish to now apply those principles in a practical way, to design and build LIFE.. into our homes, offices, landscapes, and even - into our refrigerators. If you understand what follows, you will begin to comprehend that there is no possibility to become a sacred architect of ANY sort, unless you can design a capacitor. The reason a beehive or a celtic straw hut in sea spray makes things live so long, is because they are good capacitors. Ancient dolmen sites and even cathedrals hold you in bliss in the spell of their charge, because they are 'in charge' - that is - FULL OF CHARGE. Life occurs when biological structures learn to gather charge in enough different wave lengths to cause them to compress or 'implode'. You are going to read about 'implosion' here as you learn that this is another name for a 'fractal-attractor'. When enough different waves gather to one place in the Golden Mean ratio.. they begin to suck in an infinite number of other waves - but always in Golden Mean ratio. This is the only way the universe has of arranging for an infinite (in-PHI-knit) number of waves to gather at ONE point without hurting each other. This principle of IMPLODING - waves you will see - is going to become the symmetry (or pattern) ESSENCE of: 1. Making Gravity out of waves (how charge or power can be extracted from gravity as well) 2. Making LIFE - and making waves appear to become self-aware and self-steering. ( pics at soulinvitation.com/phiricais ) 3. Creating the electrical requirement to make ATTENTION possible, as well as 'enlightenment'. To understand all this well, we need to sort out the connection between IMPLOSION, and getting fractal like a rose .. and making LIFE. http://www.zayra.de/soulcom/charge/index.html 11.01.2007 In 'CHARGE' of Life: Architecture of The Sacred & The Sustainable. Page 2 of 109 Once we understand that the skill to pursuade waves to agree IS - LIFE and SELF-AWARENESS. We can begin to practically USE the symmetry and musical harmonic 'RECIPES for PHI IMPLOSION' - to perfect the sacred architecture of our living structures. First let us 'agree' that SUSTAINABILITY for wave pattern, is the only definition 'SACRED' ever had. The symmetry or pattern ingredients to get waves to implode - cause them to stabilize (that is RESIST change of position). This resistance to being pushed around which a wave going like a gyroscope in a circle creates, is called INERTIA. Inertia is the only definition or measurement physics ever had for MASS. So .. teach a wave to sustain a circle (a gyroscope) and YOU are the CREATOR (God) of matter out of light. The trick is, keeping the implosion going in the middle (called Gravity), so the waves does not fly out of the circle. (From mass to energy). The path of perfect "TRANSLATION of that VORTICITY" from the circle to the linee - which is FROM MASS TO ENERGY - IS- The Golden Mean Spiral. (Yellow Brick Road - kind of thing.) Second - let us notice that our new definition of LIFE : "The ability to attract and self-organize (store) CHARGE" is measureable. ( see soulinvitation.com/biophoton ). To measure life as an electrician we do a harmonic analysis of the capacitive charge field around say an egg, and the more HARMONICALLY INCLUSIVE - which is to say FRACTAL those waves of charge are... the more ALIVE it is! What happens when a biological capacitor like a pine cone or a fresh egg or the electrical shape of your heart wiring which cause it to 'phire', starts getting VOLTAGE FROM GRAVITY? ... We call that - the moment it becomes ALIVE. (2 to 10 millivolts generated from gravity by the average fresh chicken egg - ask your physics professor where that comes from.) The perfect COMPRESSION called IMPLOSION is key to that energy source... and the source of ALL life. So we MUST know and teach that symmetry recipe to make implosion, or we will lose ALL life! What is kool, is that this little symmetry picture to arrange biological capacitors to CREATE LIFE - like - your furniture or your emotions, or the stones around your house and garden ... is as simple as looking at a rose! So it is easy to teach. Suppose you are like our friend C.H. in Germany. Generations of PHYTOCHEMISTS (studying life and healing using plants) - noticed that they could predict if a bioregion could produce healing plants - by checking ONE ROSE GROWN THERE. If the inside of the rose flower pattern - looked exactly like the outside of the rose flower pattern in that same rose - then the plant healing expert would know that the bioregion contained the symmetry ability to compress charge - and that predicted healing! This principle of the inside looking like the outside - is called FRACTALITY. Roses, onions, fern trees etc. are biological examples - they show us how NATURE compresses charge to make life. Physics has no quarrel with the essential insight of Einstein and all religions, that the universe is made of only a single substance: a unified field. What has been a bit troublesome has been to map the symmetry or wave pattern relationship between some of the attractions observeable in that unified field. The problem of getting to a complete idea of that 'unified field' was delayed by the fact that physics initially failed to observe a fundamental symmetry connection between such attractions as electrical versus gravity. This was simply because the principle of compression that produced acceleration eluded them. The solution to MAKING that charge compressor that DID accelerate - is and was FRACTALITY ... 'self-similar' like a rose. This principle occurs because waves (of 'charge') which cross upon themselves in a rose like FRACTAL http://www.zayra.de/soulcom/charge/index.html 11.01.2007 In 'CHARGE' of Life: Architecture of The Sacred & The Sustainable. Page 3 of 109 pattern, add AND multiply their wave velocities - (as well as their wave lengths) RECURSIVELY (that is like compounding your interest at a bank) .. AND always CONSTRUCTIVELY. Reference: Heterofi, Heterodyning and Powers of Phi ( soulinvitation.com/heterofi/heterofi.htm ) To think about how a wave might cross another and add and multiply the wave VELOCITIES - think of a surfer. He enters to tube tunnel in a cresting wave, then the curl of white cap collapser wave comes rolling in from the side. The wave from the side at one moment COLLAPSES on the wave coming straight on - AT THAT MOMENT THE SURFER IS SHOT OUT FROM THE TUBE LIKE A GUN! That is a wave which took it's VELOCITY and ADDED it to another wave. IF those waves were meeting in the Golden Ratio pattern like a rose fractal ( see pic below - pents into the tube tornado) - THEN the adding of wave velocities becomes CONSTRUCTIVE RECURSIVELY (repeatedly). This is how CAPACITORS ARRANGED IN A CONE (like the seeds in a pine cone) MAKE GRAVITY and MAKE VOLTAGE FROM GRAVITY. Because again - gravity IS acceleration - the ACCELERATION of that CHARGE resulted from 'recursive' (repeated) self-similar 'fractality'. This turns compression into acceleration. You gotta make gravity to make life. You gotta make life to make gravity. Other wise you will be 'blown away' / 'pushed around'. The proof was that capacitors storing charge waves crossing when arranged in a rose or fern like fractal or cone ...(like seeds in a pine cone)..PRODUCE gravity. Capacitors in a curve or cone approaching this geometry of 'self-similarity' CREATE THRUST. (Replacing things like rockets and car motors.) ( pics at soulinvitation.com/phiricais ). Physics already understood that acceleration WAS gravity. (Arguing whether acceleration produces gravity or gravity produces acceleration is very chicken and egg ). So the PATTERN or 'symmetry' recipe to make charge electrically go into this compression acceleration tornado becames the holy grail for the physics of the unified field. See the grail animation at: soulinvitation.com/grail.html - that animation is the only 3 dimensional fractal - AND the way to arrange capacitors to make gravity - which is why it is a symmetry map to the dodecahedron - 'wratchet' fractal gravity maker which is DNA! This is how we recently solved Einstein's dilmena about finding the shape (symmetry) which allows waves to infinitely compress.

    Sacred Geometry in Masonry: Basic Concepts by Bro

    Sacred Geometry in Masonry: Basic Concepts By Bro. David Lang Masonic District No. 2 Education Officer Grand Lodge of Virginia Sacred geometry is a term used to describe repeating patterns found in the natural world from the subatomic to the galactic and beyond. These patterns have been recognized since the earliest days of recorded history and duplicated in art, architecture, and philosophy. Sacred geometry is also incorporated into Masonic ritual and teaching and forms the basis for many common Masonic symbols. This is emphasized to us as new Fellowcrafts when we are introduced to the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences, arrested by the fifth science, or Geometry, and reminded that this science treats the powers and properties of magnitudes in general. It is noteworthy that the word magnitudes is capitalized in the Manual of Work thus hinting at the significance of the concept. We are then informed that the superstructure of Masonry is erected upon geometry and that by geometry we may trace the windings of nature to her most concealed recesses and discover the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Grand Artificer of the Universe. Building Blocks: The Golden Rectangle One of the basic concepts of sacred geometry is the Golden Rectangle, Golden Section, Golden Ratio, or Divine Proportion. Based upon the irrational number Phi (φ) or 1.618033…, the Golden Rectangle (or oblong square as it is known in Masonry) describes many proportions in nature and is frequently replicated in architecture, art, and music as a representation of perfect beauty. More importantly, the existence of the Golden Rectangle in everything from the path of elementary particles to the structure of the known universe provides compelling evidence for the idea of intelligent design or the presence of the divine in everything around us.

    Geometric Patterns and the Interpretation of Meaning: Two Monuments in Iran

    BRIDGES Mathematical Connections in Art, Music, and Science Geometric Patterns and the Interpretation of Meaning: Two Monuments in Iran Carol Bier Research Associate, The Textile Museum 2320 S Street, NW Washington, DC 20008 [email protected] Abstract The Alhambra has often served in the West as the paradigm for understanding geometric pattern in Islamic art. Constructed in Spain in the 13th century as a highly defended palace, it is a relatively late manifestation of an Islamic fascination with geometric pattern. Numerous earlier Islamic buildings, from Spain to India, exhibit extensive geometric patterning, which substantiate a mathematical interest in the spatial dimension and its manifold potential for meaning. This paper examines two monuments on the Iranian plateau, dating from the 11 th century of our era, in which more than one hundred exterior surface areas have received patterns executed in cut brick. Considering context, architectural function, and accompanying inscriptions, it is proposed that the geometric patterns carry specific meanings in their group assemblage and combine to form a programmatic cycle of meanings. Perceived as ornamental by Western standards, geometric patterns in Islamic art are often construed as decorative without underlying meanings. The evidence presented in this paper suggests a literal association of geometric pattern with metaphysical concerns. In particular, the argument rests upon an interpretation of the passages excerpted from the Qur' an that inform the patterns of these two buildings, the visual and verbal expression mutually reinforcing one another. Specifically, the range and mUltiplicity of geometric patterns may be seen to represent the Arabic concept of mithal, usually translated as parable or similitude.

    Sacred Geometry, Mandalas, Crop Circles, Fractals and the NDE Phillip S. Mitchell's research Phillip S. Mitchell, M.A., M.F.T., M.A.C. is an enthusiast and researcher of sacred geometry, crop circles, fractals and spiritual teaching. He has worked in the mental health field for over thirty years in various capacities and holds a Masters Degree in Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology. Phillip currently serves as a licensed therapist and lecturer. The following pages describe some of his research and its relationship to the near-death experience. Have you noticed similarities among mandala motifs, crop circles and fractal images? Have you noticed that they are frequently reported as being seen in dazzling beauty by many who share their reports of near-death experience and other altered states of consciousness? (Note: See the UFO/NDE connection page) Similarities and connections abound. As Pythagoras taught, Sacred Geometry is an ancient, universal language (land-guage). Geometric formations hold information and communicate ideas; not necessarily at a cognitive level, but often at a cellular level. They in-form us cellularly, just as our cells, the building blocks of our physiology, inform our bodies, providing a template for our development. Our cells are vehicles of involution; the movement from spirit to matter, as well as vehicles of evolution; movement from matter to spirit. One such tool of Sacred Geometry is the Phi Ratio, the number 1.6180339... (1.618 is commonly used) The progression or development of the whole of nature, from the subatomic to the supergalactic, follows this ratio. The twelfth century Italian mathematician, Leonardo P.

    SACRED GEOMETRY SACRED GEOMETRY* Steve Hendricks† or most of the history of mankind, Beauty was not in the eye of the Fbeholder. For the craftsmen and artists who built the first Gothic cathedrals, their work in wood and stone was made so the beauty of the permanent could shine through into the world of the transient. They were known as the masters of the compass rather than architects. This saying of a medieval stone mason’s guild reveals their source of beauty: A point that goes into the circle, Inscribed in the square and the triangle; If you find this point, you possess it; And are freed from care and danger; Herein you have the whole of art, If you do not understand this, all is in vain. The art and science of the circle Which, without God, no one possesses Guilds were established in most of the trades for teaching, preserving, and protecting the knowledge that informed their art.

    Infinite Space and Self-Similar Form In

    Strudwick 1 Infinite Space and Self-Similar Form in Alchemy and Fractal Geometry By Laura Strudwick I believe that scientific knowledge has fractal properties, that no matter how much we learn, whatever is left, however small it may seem, is just as infinitely complex as the whole was to start with. That, I think, is the secret of the Universe. —Isaac Asimov The psyche speaks in the paradoxical, metaphorical language of opposites. Mythology follows suit. Recently, so do some branches of science and mathematics, particularly chaos theory and fractal geometry. Alchemy, as an experimental precursor to chemistry and also an inner psychic pursuit that foreshadows depth psychology, represents a strange combination of psyche, myth, and science. Alchemy and fractal geometry take the exploration of opposites as their primary subject matter, particularly the themes of zero/infinity and part/whole. Both fields inhabit the tensions of infinite emptiness and self-similar structure. Practitioners in both disciplines search for a reconciliation of opposites through processes that loop back on themselves. As humans seek to know the secrets of the littlest and largest realms, the micro and macrocosms, we also search within ourselves, in the psyche, for parallels. All paths lead both outward and inward. “That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above,” as written in alchemy’s primary sacred text The Emerald Tablet (Linden 28). Strudwick 2 Alchemy uses images to form a symbolic picture of its process and goal. One central image is the uroboros, the snake or dragon eating its tail (Fig.

    Geometry and Perspective in the Landscape of the Saqqara Pyramids

    GEOMETRY AND PERSPECTIVE IN THE LANDSCAPE OF THE SAQQARA PYRAMIDS MAGLI Giulio, (I) Abstract. A series of peculiar, visual alignments between the pyramids of the pharaohs of the 4th , the 5th and the 6th Egyptian dynasties exists. These alignments governed from the very beginning the planning of the funerary monuments of successive kings and, in some cases, led to establish building sites in quite inconvenient locations from the technical viewpoint. Explaining the topography of these monuments means therefore also investigating on their symbolic motivations: religion, power, dynastic lineage and social context, as well as getting insights on the skills of the ancient architects in astronomy and geometry. In the present paper we focus on the relationships between the Old Kingdom pyramids at Saqqara. Key words. Ancient astronomy. Ancient and sacred geometry. Egyptian pyramids. Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 01A16, 51-03. 1 Introduction th It is known since the 19 century that an interesting feature exists in the layouts of the pyramids of th the 4 dynasty at Giza: the presence of a “main axis” connecting the south-east corners of the three main monuments and directed to the area where the ancient temple of the sun of Heliopolis once stood, on the opposite bank of the Nile [1,2,3]. This line is connected with a process of “solarisation” of the pharaohs which started with Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid, and th lasted up Menkaure, the builder of the third Giza pyramid [4,5]. The kings of the 5 dynasty moved - in spite of the presence of several favorable places to the immediate south of Giza - some 7 Kms apart on the plateau of Abusir.

In this paper, we exhibit the presence of mathematics in aesthetic impression that appears in nature, classic art, architecture, logo design and much more. The divine proportion can be found in music, poetry and other forms of art, however our focus here is only in the visual ones. The Golden ratio is considered sacred due to its relationship to nature and even the construction of the universe and the human body. It has been used for centuries in the construction of architectural masterpieces by the great artists, who, being able to see its beauty used it in their designs and compositions. We explain how the applications of the Golden ratio in architectures, paintings and geometrical shapes create the mystery of beauty. Further we present the existence of the divine proportion in human body and natural flora and fauna. There are a diverse number of directions, paths and tangents to which the study of this beautiful concept could take us. Besides mathematicians and artists, we expect that this paper will be interesting for general readers as well.

Introduction Looking back into the murky mysteries of ancient times, there are reminders of past glories in the art, architecture and design of our ancestors, and in the number systems they employed in those designs, expressed in the geometry they used. Among these works are the mammoth pyramids that dot the Earth’s surface. Accurate in their placement as geodetic markers and mechanically sophisticated as astronomical observatories, these wonders of ancient science stand as reminders that our brethren of antiquity may well have known more than we think. In our attempts to understand and decode these objects of awe, we realize that the winds of time and the ignorant hands of humanity have eroded the precise measurements and canons that were infused into these monuments. By their sheer magnitude1, the pyramids tell us that their builders clearly wanted future civilizations to not only notice them, but to also investigate them in an attempt to find out what knowledge these masons and priests possessed regarding the world and the universe; although the precision of the structures may be missing, we can still see the intentions through the geometry that remains. This study was undertaken with that in mind.
