64. 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
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.

http://www.math.temple.edu/~reich/Fib/fibo.html
THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE, SPIRALS AND THE GOLDEN MEAN
The Fibonacci sequence exhibits a certain numerical pattern which originated as the answer to an exercise in the first ever high school algebra text. This pattern turned out to have an interest and importance far beyond what its creator imagined. It can be used to model or describe an amazing variety of phenomena, in mathematics and science, art and nature. The mathematical ideas the Fibonacci sequence leads to, such as the golden ratio, spirals and self- similar curves, have long been appreciated for their charm and beauty, but no one can really explain why they are echoed so clearly in the world of art and nature. The story began in Pisa, Italy in the year 1202. Leonardo Pisano Bigollo was a young man in his twenties, a member of an important trading family of Pisa. In his travels throughout the Middle East, he was captivated by the mathematical ideas that had come west from India through the Arabic countries. When he returned to Pisa he published these ideas in a book on mathematics called Liber Abaci , which became a landmark in Europe. Leonardo, who has since come to be known as

http://online.redwoods.cc.ca.us/instruct/darnold/CalcProj/Sp98/GabeP/Spiral.htm
Gabriel Peterson The Equiangular Spiral: Spira Mirabilis Gabriel Peterson Math 50C: Multivariable Calculus Abstract The purpose of this article is to develop the parametric equation for the plane curve of the equiangular spiral – also known as the logarithmic spiral or the logistique – from its geometric definition. Through analysis, it was found to be where a is an arbitrary constant and a is a constant angle made between the radial vector to any point on the curve and the tangent line at that point.
Introduction Most readers will have had at least some informal introduction to the elegant beauty of the spiral prior to reading this. Certainly, most will have witnessed the sublime geometry of a spiral in the vortex of water rushing down a drain, the tempest of a hurricane, the hypnotic pattern of a magician’s spiral, the shape of a snail’s shell, the inscrutable movement of the arms of a spiral galaxy like our own... The formal mathematical study of spirals – as did so many other rich intellectual traditions present today – began with the ancient Greeks. Building upon the work of Conon of Samos, Archimedes of Syracuse wrote a definitive early work on the subject in 250 BC entitled On Spirals.

67. THREE TABLES OF THE GRAIL
The golden mean is based on the division of space by root rectangle derivatives,and it in terms of area instead of length was the basis of ancient geometry.
http://freespace.virgin.net/peter.morley/lighter/a1-3tables.htm
Laurence Gardner. Bloodline of the Holy Grail
APPENDIX I
THREE TABLES OF THE GRAIL
Tradition relates that "Three Tables bore the Grail; they were round, square and rectangular. Each had-the same perimeter, and the number of the Three was Two-One.' This ambiguous description of Tables has served to perpetuate the image of the Grail being an object, such as a cup or platter. The Tables have been likened to those of King Arthur, Grail Castle, and the Last Supper. However, the 2-1 specification is an inherent tabular proportion of the Golden Mean, and has little to do with tables in the utility sense.
The Golden Mean is a geometric progression employed by the Greek mathematician, Euclid, in the 1st century BC. In practice, however, it dates back far beyond Euclid to the time of Plato. The Golden Mean has been used as an architectural standard for proportionment, and is used today in sophisticated artwork, framing and design. Roughly speaking, it is a proportion of 5:8, but the precise mathematical ratio is .618:1. The subject is fully covered in Nigel Pennick's Sacred Geometry ch2, pp 25-28.

"The Eye of Horus/Ra" , "Sacred Geometry" and Pyramids
"The Eye of Horus/Ra" , "Sacred Geometry" and Pyramids

Known as the "udjat" or "wedjet" by the Ancient Egyptians, the eye was the emblem of the falcon-headed Horus [Ancestor of Kings and Sky God] and Ra [the Sun God and chief deity of the Ennead, the Gods of Heliopolis]. As Atum-Ra in the Ennead he was the Creator-God. The udjat, symbolising the Sun, was thought to protect the pharaoh [there is one at each corner of Tutankhamun's sarcophagus], and was used as an amulet against evil.
But there is more to this emblem "than meets the eye" [pardon the pun!] Question:- what do a) Ray Brown's crystal [described in "carib"], b) the reverse of the Seal of the USA, and c) St Piran's Church, Perranzabuloe, Cornwall, have in common? Answer:- they all feature the "all-seeing eyes" of an omnipotent deity. Although, the third image is early Medieval its features bear an uncanny resemblence to the giant Olmec heads in Mexico!
Images a) and b) feature pyramids, and I said in "carib" that the three in the crystal were linked to Giza. Pyramids, traditionally, are said to represent solar rays, seen by the Egyptians as the source of light and fertility. In the Armarna art of Akhenaton and Tutankhamun [possibly father and son], they protectively touch these pharaohs and their queens in a triangular formation. Maurice Cotterell in The Tutankhamun Prophecies [London, 1999] makes an interesting link between statues of those kings and pyramid design. If their navels represent the apex, he argues, then the eye on the capstone of the "solar-eye pyramid" [such as the one on the Seal], is Ra's. The pyramid-shaped skirts worn by the kings are decorated with solar rays, hence the most common interpretation of those structures. One example of a capstone bearing the udjat-eye [plus invocations to Ra] was once on the Pyramid of Ammenemes III, Dahshur.

http://www.geoman.com/geomantext.html
G E O M A N A T O M Y James L. Fournier
The new Vitruvian Man I discovered, which I have called Geoman, adds two of the three fundamental polygonal shapes in plane geometry, the equilateral triangle, and the pentagram, both in the golden mean relationship to the same circle represented with the square in Leonardo daVinci's Vitruvian Man.
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.

Sacred Geometry Home Page by Bruce Rawles
In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos. These inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances. They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. It is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. This principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created.
The Sphere
(charcoal sketch of a sphere by Nancy Rawles) Starting with what may be the simplest and most perfect of forms, the sphere is an ultimate expression of unity, completeness, and integrity. There is no point of view given greater or lesser importance, and all points on the surface are equally accessible and regarded by the center from which all originate. Atoms, cells, seeds, planets, and globular star systems all echo the spherical paradigm of total inclusion, acceptance, simultaneous potential and fruition, the macrocosm and microcosm.
The Circle
The circle is a two-dimensional shadow of the sphere which is regarded throughout cultural history as an icon of the ineffable oneness; the indivisible fulfillment of the Universe. All other symbols and geometries reflect various aspects of the profound and consummate perfection of the circle, sphere and other higher dimensional forms of these we might imagine.

Look at the sequence 1/(-1/2), 1/(-1/3), 1/(-1/4), and notice again that the denominators -1/2, -1/3, -1/4, ..., are going to zero. Again, we would want the limit of this sequence to be 1/0, but looking at the sequence, it simplifies to -2, -3, -4, ..., and it goes to negative infinity. So which would we assign to 1/0? Negative infinity or positive infinity? Instead of just assigning one of these willy nilly, we say that infinity isn't a number, and that 1/0 is indeterminate. I hope this helps. Ken "Dr." Math Dear Dr. Math: My name is Erica Anderson and I need to know examples of where the Fibonacci sequence is found in nature and how that relates to the Golden Mean. This is for Pre Calculus class. Thanks for your help. Hey Erica, I love this problem. The Fibonacci sequence happens all the time in nature, so much it is amazing. I am having trouble not just sitting here and listing all the occurrences that I can think of, but I will try to resist sending you a seven-page e-mail message. A few examples:
  • Think about a pine cone. Have you ever noticed that the petals spiral up in two directions? Well, the number of petals it takes to get once around is almost always a Fibonacci number.

For more than twenty years, I have been studying the image generating properties of reflective spheres stacked in 52 degree angle pyramids. The 52 (51.827) degree angle slope of the sides of The Great Pyramid in Cairo, Egypt embodies the Golden Mean which is the ratio that is used in Nature to generate growth patterns in space. Sacred Geometry studies such primal systems which reveal the unity of the cosmos by representing the relationships between numbers geometrically. The Vesica Piscis is one of the most fundamental geometrical forms of this ancient discipline and it reveals the relationship between the The Great Pyramid and the 2 dimensional expansion of a circle of one unit radius R as shown in Figure 1. This relationship is more completely described in The New View Over Atlantis by John Michell published by Thames and Hudson. Figure 1 Vesica Piscis in 2 Dimensions In the early 1970s, I became very interested in the three dimensional representation of this geometry and I visualized this as a three dimensional pyramid inside two intersecting spheres shown in Figure 2.

    The Nautilus Shell Spiral
    Sunflower Mandala
    Snowflake Pattern Six-Around-One The shell of the chambered nautilus is a symbol of beauty and proportional perfection. In this exercise you will experience the essence and energy of the spiral displayed in the unfolding of the nautilus shell. The proportion of this nautilus shell is consistent through all of the relationships of the shell, so once you discover the secret ratio, you will see clearly why this particular gem of nature is such a treasure. The nautilus shell spiral is a logarithmic spiral similar to other spirals such as the Golden Mean or phi spiral, but with slightly different proportions. A close approximation of a Golden Mean spiral, based on the Fibonacci whole number sequence is illustrated below.
    The spiral of the chambered nautilus as well as other logarithmic spirals can be found throughout the human body and nature. The drawing of the inner ear and the photo image of a star cluster nebula shown to the right are just two examples which can be seen with a microscope or a telescope. There are many examples which can be seen without magnification. See what you can find.

    CONNECTING SACRED GEOMETRY AND CROP CIRCLES It is significant that as our alienation from all forms of spiritual and universal wonder increases, symbols bearing the hallmarks of an ancient, harmonious philosophy have suddenly begun manifesting in cereal crop. Even to the hardened skeptic crop circle designs reveal a facility by their makers of creating a visual harmony that is pleasing to the eye, much like an ancient temple or a classical painting. The proportions are balanced, the shapes rhythmic, their outlying elements forming part of an unseen whole. Upon close scrutiny even the small 'grapeshot' circles that flank certain formations lie at their given remote locations not by fluke but by engineered and premeditated design, markers and clues for the observer to follow and uncover. Not surprising, then, to find sacred geometry lying at the heart of the fundamental blueprints of many formations, sometimes blatantly, sometimes veiled like a secret waiting to be uncovered only by the most persistent of minds. But just as with sacred geometry and other esoteric principles, crop circles have been marginalized by practically the entire scientific community since they challenge the current worldview simply because science is at odds to explain them.
