Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds - Part 2

The Primordial Spiral and its Significance

Plato hinted at a golden key that unifies all mysteries of the universe.
The golden key is the intelligence of the logos, the mind of God.
The source of divine symmetry is the greatest mystery of existence.
Many monumental thinkers throughout history have explored this mystery.
Einstein believed that the mysterious is the source of true art and science.
The Primordial Spiral is a universal symbol found in ancient cultures worldwide.
It symbolizes growth, expansion, and cosmic energy.

The Golden Ratio, or divine proportion, is a mathematical relationship that can be seen in various natural phenomena.
The pattern of self-similar spiral patterns, such as logarithmic spirals, is ubiquitous in nature.
These spirals can be observed in the structure of Romanesco broccoli, the arms of galaxies, and the growth of plants.
The Fibonacci series, where each number is the sum of the previous two numbers, is often found in these patterns.

Li, the ancient Chinese science, studies the dynamic order and pattern in nature.
Li patterns are not static, but embodied in all living things.
Examples of Li patterns include the arteries of leaves, markings of the tortoise, and veined patterns on rocks.
The labyrinth, cellular pattern, and branching pattern are common Li patterns found in nature.
The branching pattern is observable at all levels and in all fractal scales.

Physical wiring patterns in the brain and nervous system are established through repetition and attention to sensations.
The yin yang symbol in Taoism represents the inter-penetration of spiral forces of nature, symbolizing the hara or power center located within the belly below the navel.
The hara is the sea or ocean of energy, connected to grounded and graceful movements observed in martial arts, golfers, belly dancers, and Sufi whirling dervishes.

Thinking creates separateness and limits our connection to the spiral of life.
Ancient cultures aligned themselves more directly with the spiral than modern societies.
Kundalini represents inner energy that moves in a snake-like or helix-like pattern up the spine.
