"Tape running, here we are again, Charles, continuing our ongoing conversation on Sacred Geometry and all the unbelievable connections it has to our everyday lives. I'm amazed, Charles, I truly am. This is our eleventh tape and I promised you our subject would be your choice this time. What are we going to talk about today?" C.G. "Thank you, Leslie. Generally, when I take on a really bright student, like yourself, I begin by letting them ask the questions that first come to their minds. It seems to work pretty well. And so far we have been doing just that, but this is, as you just mentioned, our eleventh conversation and it feels pretty special to me."

Phi / Golden Proportion
...in Nature Phi in Plant Forms: When one looks into the absolutely vast amount of information that has been collected on the extensive number of forms in which Nature employs the proportion of Phi, it is obvious that there is no other specific number that recurs throughout life on Earth with such regularity. If we were to attempt to deal with all of the instances of Phi in Nature, we would be forced to dedicate an entire website, if not several, to the subject. In fact, there are many books and websites that focus solely on the subject of the Golden Ratio in Nature. Because of the fact that many other authors have already dealt with this subject in exhaustive studies, Nature's Word will only deal with "the tip of the iceburg" - it is suggested that the interested reader look to other sources for more information after reading that which is presented here. To begin with, let's start with Phi as it is found in the realm of plant life. If the central stem of a plant is looked at closely, it can be seen that as the plant grows upward, leaves or branches sprout off of the stem in a spiraling pattern. In other words, in an over-simplified example, the plant grows up an inch, and a leaf or branch sprouts out of the stem. Then the plant grows up another inch, and once again a leaf or branch sprouts out, but this time it sprouts out in a different direction than the first. Once again, the plant grows upwards and another leaf or branch grows out of the stem, and once again we find that the leaf or branch has sprouted in a different direction than the one before it. If we were to connect the tips of the leaves or branches that have grown out of the stem, we would find that they create a very definite spiral pattern around the central stem.

A Matter of Appreciation
October 1999 I have a recollection. Years ago, a childhood friend of mine, Boris, shared with me with excitement an unusual experience he had on a visit to the Tretj'yakov Art Gallery in Moscow. He was accompanied by a professional painter, a good acquaintance of his older sister. While Boris was making a round in one of the halls, he observed that the painter remained all that time on the same spot studying a certain picture. Curious, my friend asked the painter what was it about the picture that kept him interested in it for so long. According to Boris, the painter did not reply directly, but, instead, stepped over to the picture and covered a spot on the picture with a palm of his hand. "Have a look at the picture and think of what you see," he requested. After a while, he uncovered the spot, stepped back and asked Boris to have another look. Well, almost 4 decades later, with the names of the painter and the picture long forgotten, I still vividly remember Boris' excitement when he told me of how entirely different, deeper and more beautiful, the picture appeared to him then.

What is Sacred Geometry?
To me, sacred means something that is symbolic of a trancendent truth, and worthy of study, contemplation, and veneration. When I refer to Sacred Geometry , I am talking about geometry that is derived from or directly related to the structure of nature. Our universe is structured in a highly complex yet sublimely ordered manner. This is a truth that is readily felt by sensitive people, and has also been demonstrated by science and mathematics. Structural forms seen at the microscopic level are repeated at other scales, and the laws of fractional symmetry appear to apply throughout. So, geometry that refers to the structural unity of nature is a powerful metaphor for the mystery of life, and thus sacred. One of the best examples of Sacred Geometry are forms based on the Golden Ratio. Back to Top

    The golden ratio is an irrational number , approximately 1.61803..., that possesses many interesting properties. Shapes defined by the golden ratio have long been considered aesthetically pleasing in Western cultures, reflecting nature's balance between symmetry and asymmetry and the ancient Pythagorean belief that reality is a numerical reality, except that numbers were not units as we define them today, but were expressions of ratios. The golden ratio is still used frequently in art and design.

    Also known as Leonardo of Pisa, Fibonacci introduced to Europe and popularized the Hindu-Arabic number system (also called the decimal system). He contributed greatly to number theory, and during his life published many important texts, including Liber abbaci Practica geometriae (1220) and Liber quadratorum (1225). He is also known for the Fibonacci Series, a numerical series found frequently in the natural world. In the sequence, each number is equal to the sum of the preceding two (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 ...). FOUR GOOD LINKS

    Sacred Geometry and the Mayan Calenda r
    I, Ian Xel Lungold, have been studying the Mayan calendar since 1996.  It became evident very quickly that the Mayan calendar is a portal to intuition. The ancient Mayan civilization is revered for the way that its members lived in balance with nature and the cosmos. From all the evidence left by the Maya—their architecture, their land forming, i.e. irrigation works and massive landscaping and their surviving books—we can see that they danced in their intuition for more than three thousand years. How we can best utilize the clues that the Maya left for our consciousness at this time is the subject of this article, and of my many presentations around the world.
    So what is it that the Maya left us? A roadmap of Creation’s intentions that we can match to times and events.  In other words, we now have a method for discerning what Creation has intended, and continues to intend, day by day, epic by epic. Over the last 16.4 billion years, Creation has followed a particular repeating pattern of 13 different intentions. These intentions have brought about various physical effects and events in Creation, and have molded all human history.

    Fibonacci Numbers
    We begin our whirlwind tour of F Lo Sophia and Sacred Geometry by first stopping in Pisa, Italy, where in the year 1202 A.D. (or as currently written, C.E. for “Current Era”), a mathematician and merchant, Leonardo da Pisa wrote a book, Liber Abaci (The Book of Computation). Born in 1179, Leo had traveled during the last years of the 12th century to Algiers with his father, who happened to be acting as consul for Pisan merchants. From the Arabs the young Leonardo Bigollo discovered the Hindu system of numerals from 1 to 9, and from the Egyptians an additive series of profound dimensions. Leo promptly shared his illumination with Europeans by writing his book and offering to the intelligentsia (the small minority who could read) an alternative to the reigning, clumsy system of Roman numerals and Greek letters. Books on mathematics are not normally among the best sellers of any era. Leo’s book, nevertheless, had the effect of convincing Europe to convert its unromantic, Romanized numeral system to the one known today as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. Leo also introduced to the Western World what has become known as the Fibonacci Series.

    Sacred Geometry
    Tradition holds that over the entrance to Plato’s Academy was written the words: Agewmetrhtoz mhdeiz eisitw Only he who is familiar with geometry shall be admitted here (Apparently a knowledge of the Greek language was also important.) This website is not quite so stringent, and will happily admit any she who is interested in entering. (The guys will, of course, still need some geometry.) Alternatively, anyone who can carry a tune may enter in a bucket or by any other means. Music is, after all, based on geometry and mathematics. For anyone who doesn’t think of themselves as being “familiar with geometry,” the words attributed to Plato’s school might be considering insulting, and thereby construed to have little or no validity. Any grapes from the discourteous must inevitably be sour. This circumstance is indeed unfortunate in that anyone who is not familiar with geometry, anyone who does not appreciate the premise that Philosophy is about understanding the meaning of a mathematical ratio (the Golden Mean ), and anyone who adheres exclusively to a literal interpretation of spiritual teachings...
