On Geometry And Advanced Energy Conversion This true golden mean Spiral has very little in common with the former oneabove. However, this spiral does look a lot like the one in the geometry of http://www.padrak.com/ine/ONGEOMETRY.html
Extractions: March 1996 There are quite a few areas in which the idea of the use of a particular geometry has overlapped with the advanced energy areas. Here is a summary of what I can remember off of the top of my head: 1. The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt, was built about the same time as the Sphinx, and I think it was definitely built way, way before the other structures there. It has a full base to height ratio of 2 to SQRT(Phi), where Phi is the Golden Ratio and is equal to (1+SQRT(5))/2. That gives an internal triangle with sides of 1-to-SQRT(Phi)-to-Phi. Several experimenters have noticed that four-sided pyramids build with this ratio exhibit strange properties when a base is aligned perpendicular to local magnetic north. I have not seen many papers on exact EM experimental results of the effects of this geometry, and perhaps we should! This would be a great idea for elementary and high school science projects! I also note that when a pyramid of this exact shape is cut along the base and along the edges and unfolded, one gets the Templar Cross. Coincidence?

Extractions: A number often encountered when taking the ratios of distances in simple geometric figures such as the pentagram decagon and dodecagon . It is denoted , or sometimes (which is an abbreviation of the Greek "tome," meaning "to cut"). is also known as the divine proportion, golden mean, and golden section and is a Pisot-Vijayaraghavan constant . It has surprising connections with continued fractions and the Euclidean algorithm for computing the greatest common divisor of two integers Given a rectangle having sides in the ratio is defined such that partitioning the original rectangle into a square and new rectangle results in a new rectangle having sides with a ratio . Such a rectangle is called a golden rectangle , and successive points dividing a golden rectangle into squares lie on a logarithmic spiral . This figure is known as a whirling square . The legs of a golden triangle are in a golden ratio to its base and, in fact, this was the method used by Pythagoras to construct From the definition of the golden mean combined with the above figure

Extractions: Penrose Tiles Penrose was not the first to discover aperiodic tilings , but his is probably the most well-known. In its simplest form, it consists of 54- and 72-degree rhombi, with "matching rules" forcing the rhombi to line up against each other only in certain patterns. It can also be formed by tiles in the shape of "kites" and "darts" or even by deformed chickens (see the "perplexing poultry" entry below). Part of the interest in this tiling stems from the fact that it has a five-fold symmetry impossible in periodic crystals, and has been used to explain the structure of certain "quasicrystal" substances.

Sacred Geometry The design of TARA chapel is based on the laws of sacred geometry. It'sstrongest components are harmony and the golden mean proportions. http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/rainersh/sacred_geometry.htm
Extractions: Sacred Geometry at Tara Sanctuary (The ideas on this Web Page came from a paper called: "The Tara Chapel at Mana is based on Sacred Geometry of Bio Harmonic Architecture" written by the architect of Tara Sanctuary Reinhard Kanuka-Fuchs) The design of TARA chapel is based on the laws of sacred geometry. It's strongest components are harmony and the golden mean proportions. With it's purpose of practising unity in Meditation, Song, Dance and Prayer the harmonic proportions are essential. From the outside harmony is expressed in a multitude of equilateral triangles touching various important points of the building, connecting them. The unity principle can also be demonstrated by a series of concentric circles with the centre of gravity in the centre of the small "soul eye" windows above the annexes The centre of the chapel is a point of gravity, union and essence and it radiates symmetrically out in all directions touching annexes and octagon corners. In the same way bells radiate sound in all directions from the gravity centre of the bell framing. The law of the golden section as expressed in the beauty of the human form, can be seen in various aspects of nature. It is present in the harmonious properties of the human voice as brilliances appearing as high frequencies in the golden mean (Fibonacci) proportions of 3000, 5000, 8000 Hertz. Throughout the building the golden mean ratio of 1:1.618 can be found, pleasing to the eye and soul, our sense of harmony and beauty. It is creating a space of divine acoustics, where the sound seems to ascend. Drawing IV accentuates examples of the golden ratio in various parts of the chapel and bell tower.
Zausner Golden Mean - 1/18/97 A book on the golden mean by Pacioli was published in Venice in 1509. The divisionof Arithmosophy that deals in visual order is called Symbolic geometry. http://www.blueberry-brain.org/goldmean/zausner.htm
Extractions: CHAPTER XVI: ASCENSION Eliade remarks that ascension is often seen as a climbing of stairs, and cites the ceremonial staircase in the Orphic and in the Mithraic initiations. He says that stair symbolism is culturally universal and part of the archaic content of the human mind. According to Jung, stairs symbolize the process of psychic transformation in which the contents of the unconscious are brought into conscious awareness. My research suggests that in the humanist symbolism of the painting, Mary's ascension is emphasized by the upper bank of five stairs and by the number of stairs in the staircase. (Fig. 11) Schneider discovered that the angle of the upper five stairs is different from the angle of the lower eight stairs. He believes Titian did this deliberately because the lower stairs are formed of shorter stone rectangles, while the upper stairs are formed of slightly longer ones. (Fig. 11, 34)

Storm's Nest - The Golden Logos The golden mean rectangle may be increased or decreased by the additionof a square, which is symbolic in sacred geometry of the creation. http://home.earthlink.net/~johnrpenner/Articles/GoldenLogos.html
Extractions: The Golden Section "I came across a defintion of the Golden Mean which states that it is the unity that includes both what is perceived as well as the perceiver." "There are two ways [and the Golden Proportion is the only number for which this is true] mathematically, by which you can place the Golden Mean between those two points. The lesser in relation the the greater in the Golden Mean can signify that the outer is the greater and the inner is the lesser, or it can signify that the inner is the greater and the outer is the lesser. But the 'mean' is a flucutation in between those two things." So the Yin and the Yang are as the proportions of the Golden mean unto each other, and thus chase each other dynamically in asymetrical equilibrium.

The Golden Mean A particularly elegant manifestation of the golden mean is in other also determinedby the golden ratio Robert Lawler, Sacred geometry, Thames and Hudson, 1982. http://home.earthlink.net/~klogw/TheGoldenMean.htm
Extractions: Scholars of the occult have speculated that the Golden Mean was of supreme importance to the ancient Pythagoreans as a key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. One of these mysteries is that from the Golden Mean the Pentagram can be constructed by means of compass and straight edge alone. The following pictorial essay shows the classical construction used to obtain the segment length which is in golden ratio proportion to a segment of unit length. The Pentagram is then easily constructed from these two lengths. Can you see how? An interesting application of the Golden Mean is the construction of the logarithmic spiral. The logarithmic spiral is found throughout nature from conch shells to the pattern of seeds in sun flowers to the pattern of lines in the feathers of peacocks. The spiral is constructed by starting with two golden mean rectangles and successively adjoining squares to the preceding construction. Can you see how? A particularly elegant manifestation of the Golden Mean is in the design of Japanese sand gardens. As can be seen in the diagram below three rocks are laid out collinear on a line such that the line segments they define are in golden ratio proportion to each other. Although not shown in the diagram, the two lines of rocks are at an angle to each other also determined by the golden ratio. All around the rocks sweeping to the coping tile around the garden is elegantly raked sand, almost giving the rocks the appearance of islands rising up out of tranquil waters. The entire effect is that of correct proportion achieving balance and tranquility.
Geometry The golden mean (or golden Section), represented by the the Fibonacci series and thegolden Rectangle carefully this subject is Sacred geometry Philosophy and http://www.dial-a-teacher.com/geometry/page11.html
Extractions: The Golden Mean The Golden Mean (or Golden Section), represented by the Greek letter phi, is one of those mysterious natural numbers, like e or pi, that seem to arise out of the basic structure of our cosmos. Unlike those abstract numbers, however, phi appears clearly and regularly in the realm of things that grow and unfold in steps, and that includes living things.
Spiritual Structure Traditional Sacred geometry. The Fibonacci series can be used to defineboth the golden mean and Pi, the two main irrational numbers. http://www.dimensional.com/~ahm/matrix/SpSt/geometry.htm
Extractions: This is supposed to be the basic geometry of the universe, the underlying patterns of all existance. The following derivation is said to parallel the creation of the world given in Genesis. First there is the void. Then spirit reaches out in six directions, up, down, back, forth, right and left, creating three axis' which allows measurement and movement. Filling out the axis's results first in a square and then in an octogaon, two base to base pyramids. (In planar figure this also gives the hexagon, and by reprojecting into 3 dimensions the cube.) Straight lines are male, curves female, so spining the octagon to create a sphere generates female from male. Spirit moved to the surface of the sphere and then began to make more spheres. In planar form six more can fit around the circle (Spirit rested on the seventh day). In space perhaps there are also six, one centered out each axis? These are all interlocking, i.e. the center of each is on the circumferance of the others. By rotation this generates a tube torus? which appears to be a torus with a zero inner radius, e.g. a donut without a hole. This is used to generate a figure inside a tetrahedron which in turn generates the various Hebrew letters, by projection back to a plane. [Stan Tenen]. The Greek and Arabic letters can also be formed by a similar process.
Geoman Text adds two of the three fundamental polygonal shapes in plane geometry, the equilateraltriangle, and the pentagram, both in the golden mean relationship to the http://www.geoman.com/geomantext.html
Extractions: In Leonardo's drawing there are two of the four simplest shapes in plane geometry. These are the circle representing unity, or one, and the square representing four. I had noticed that the relationship between the circle and the square in Leonardo's drawing is the golden mean ratio. Thus the length of one side of the square is 1.618 times the radius of the circle. I found this by measuring Leonardo's drawing, but D'Arcy Thompson had also demonstrated by statistical analysis that on average the distance from the ground to a person's navel is the golden mean of their overall height. I also knew that the navel, our center, the center that we grow from, is also our center of mass, the point which we would spin about weightless in space, which is also the center that we find when we meditate and find our "center" (yellow in the diagram). Each of the three shapes shares the same edge length as the square, and thus each is in the golden mean relationship to the radius of the circle. The key to the success of the diagram is that the tip of the equilateral triangle protrudes through the base of the square, counter to the medieval teaching that the arm span is equal to the diagonal to the feet. Instead, the two points where the triangle meets the ground represent the centers of the feet, and the tip of the triangle represents the pointed toes as if in a pirouette.
