You have to work on yourself before you can really get anywhere. No one can do it for you. The magical codex and the dimensional escape hatch remain firmly out of reach for now. The flame will burn those who are unable to hold it safely in their hands. The universe insists, most adamantly, that we learn how to do it all by ourselves. Gnosis, spiritual attainment, esoteric wisdom. Whatever you want to call it. No cheating, no looking at your friend's paper, no plagiarising - you must do your own thing in your own way. Otherwise, we are compelled to repeat the same tests over and over again, through multiple lifetimes, until we finally figure it out. So you have to do the homework. Sharpen your blade. Keep moving. Fortunately, there is no time limit and everyone’s ascendant path is custom-built for their own unique growth pattern. In spiritual terms, it’s a win-win situation.

To help penetrate the all-pervading mists of the illusion, one must first acknowledge that consciousness is not the accidental and purposeless by-product of the human condition. The perceived world that we appear to be locked inside, like the silver ball in a pinball machine, is wholly a construct of consciousness. The pinball constructs the machine around itself. Whilst a testing notion for even the most elastic of modern philosophical minds, it has been known for aeons by the ancient mystical traditions and experienced directly by the indigenous shamanic cultures of every continent. Now, it is being evoked again as a progressive scientific theory in quantum physics. It is not new information we are bringing to mind, not by any means. It is better described as a remembrance.

Consciousness is a transcendental music with which we can attune, conduct and create. The spiritually synchronized mind instinctively discerns this. Consciousness flows through all things. It follows that consciousness itself does not originate in the brain of the individual. It is at root, a non-local force. The quantum and holographic traces of this have been unfolding for some time now, most intriguingly in the works of Gebser, Bohm, Pribram and Laszlo. The personal experience of consciousness is better conceived of as a tunnel, or an uplink, to the akashic field (aka the universal field, vacuum field, noosphere etc) which is dynamically connected to everything and everywhere. Perhaps the field is composed of the same subspace luminous filaments that Castaneda’s mythical figure of Don Juan spoke of so enigmatically; these being the fractal structures of consciousness itself, elaborately extending themselves across the multiverse, articulating every conceivable resolution. Our thoughts, feelings and articulations are unique expressions [configurations] of the field. Our imaginal thoughtforms sculpt its physical and psychic manifestations.

Spiral Aloe - University of Berkeley,
California - Botanical Garden

With its inherent harmony, the spiral is a metaphor for our inevitable transformation within. The inner spiral is not the physical spiral of our body, the embryo and ears, hair and heart, fists and fingerprints, but rather a psychic one, beckoning us as a symbol of consciousness and the way we live.

Our own inner spiral process whirls us into the mystery of the infinite within us. The spiral shows us that we are comprised of a continuum, not fragments, as we ordinarily appear to ourselves. A clue waits coiled in the spiral's principles of self-replication, self-accumulation, self-recurrence, and self-similarity. The recuring word is "self". The message of the spiral is growth and the tranformation of our Self.

At the center of our Self, deep within our consciousness, is a calm "I". Like the calm "eye" within a storm, our center is untouched by psychological turbulence. Peaceful, it observes all from the vantage of wisdom. Placid, it is unmoved by the turbulent weather of the surrounding psyche. When you are feeling connected with your center it semms very familiar. It feels like the Self you know best, like who and what you know your Self to be, calm in knowing without thinking. To be centered is not the same as being "self-centered" or selfish. Instead it is identity with the deep, divine power that motivates us.

Consider a spiraling top spinning "centered" on its calm eye. As soon as it tilts slightly, the top goes off center and its path widens, spiraling away from its center of stability, away from its center of gravity. The further from its center it moves, the more it wobbles. Leaving the center creates the trail of the spiral, an attept to regain balance.

The center within us is the truth of our higher Self, the reality deepest within which each of us call "I". Each time we lose sight of the "I" we spiral towards periphery. We appear to leave the center because we feel a sense of separation somewhere in our lives. We lose our vantage point of the center when we artificially divide our Self and try to look at it, think about it, want it, grasp at it. When we leave our center, we are simply identifying with other possibilities of our Self, distracted by the turbulent realm of the four elements. And when we do, we miss the peace of the calm "I" and yearn to return to it, to transform  our selves back to identity with it. Identity with our center is always possible, as a wobbling top can sometimes be helped to regain balance.

Come forth into the light of things, let Nature be your teacher - William Wordsworth

You cannot conceive the many without the one... The study of the unit is among those that lead the mind on and turn it to the vision of reality - Plato

One principle must make the universe a single complex living creature, one from all - Plotinus

All are but parts of one stupendous whole - Alexander Pope

The one Godhead, secret in all beings, all-pervading, the inner Self of all, presiding over all action, witness, conscious knower and absolute... the One in control over the many who are passive, fashions one seed in many ways - Swetaswatara Upanishad

The sage is he who has attained the central point of the wheel and proves it without himself participating in the movement and remains bound to the Unvarying Mean - Taoist saying

Number proceeds from Unity - Aristotle

The Triad is the form of the completion of all things - Nichomachus of Gerasa

Nature uses as little as possible of anything - Johannes Kepler

Numbers, furthermore, as archetypal structural constants of the collective unconscious, possess a dynamic, active aspect which is especially important to keep in mind. It is not what we can do with numbers but what they do to our consciousness that is essential. - Marie-Louise von Franz

The chessboard is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, and the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature - Thomas Henry Huxley

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance - Aristotle

The Golden Ratio (Φ) within a Golden Spiral

The calm « I » of the storm

Cirles and spheres, triangles, squares, pentagons, spirals and the five Platonic volumes represent principles that shape the world. When we see stars and spirals we know that there is life and excellence, motion, balance, and transformation. But the Universe is not like a room filled with geometric shapes. These forms are the shape of the universe, the shapes of space itself. What we see and touch are the visible expression of forces and principles we can rain ourselves to understand. For the sake of solving our environmental and social problems, we can, and must, learn to see with new eyes.

The lesson of the spiral is that every "thing" is not a noun but a process, a dynamic "energy event". The world resembles a whirpool of transformation with which we can cooperate for our benefit

We can also use our experience to lear to see ourselves differently. A glance at the human body shows that in structure and function we carry the pentagonal flag of life and excellence. Like other living forms, our body's ideal proportions grow in accordance with the golden mean, the f relationship weaving balance, harmony, and beauty among its parts. This same accumulative proportion is found in the physical structure of living sea, land, and sky creatures and in the paths of atoms and galactic clusters. It is stirring to realize that each of the physical strucrutes of the universe is a repackaging of the others. We hold the peoportions of the slar system in our hands, face, and whole body. One can fold an outline of the human body differently and create the proportions of a starfish and seashell, a rose, and the Milky Way galaxy. Perhaps the entire universeis a great, living, intelligent being we just don't recognize, in the same way  that one cell in your body doesn't suspect the existence of the eprson reading this or even have the ability to comprehend your possibility.

By turning from the world outside ourselves to the subtle world within, we move from the symbolic to the sacred. In symbolic geometry the essential principle of the Pentad if life and "regeneration", expressed by the property of self-similarity. Inwardly, this characteristic indicates the possibility of spiritual regeneration, rebirth from the human to the divine as sought by every one of history's religions. Methods for attaining it differ, but curiously they share the spiral as a universal symbol of spiritual transformation of forces in nature. In the Bible the Deity speaks to prophets from the same whirlwinds on which Native American initiates, like those in many other cultures, were carried to "heaven". The aproach to heaven, not a location in the clouds but a symbol of regeneration to conscious identity with the Higher Self within, is never depicted as a straight line. Neither is the descent to hell, as Dante tells us from his downward spiral tour.

Craftspeople from Ancient Egypt, Babylon, China, Africa, Europe, India, and Polynesia, and great artists from Brueghel to Blake have symbolized the spiritual path as a spiral. All people seem to understand this intuitively. Even the makers of popular movies feel it [...]

With its inherent harmony, the spiral is a metaphor for our inevitable transformation within.

All things are full of signs, and it is a wise man who can learn about one thing from another - Plotinus

In nature's infinite book of secresy, a little I can read - William Shalespeare

Living in the world without insight into the hidden laws of nature is like not knowing the language of the country in which one was born - Hazrat Inayat Khan

Truth is inherent in the nature of number and inbred in it - Philolaus

The harmony of the world is made manifest in Form and Number, and the heart and soul and all the poetry of Natural Philosophy are embodied in the conceptof mathematical beauty - Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson

The world, harmoniously confused, Where order in variety we see, And whre, tho'all things differ, All agree - Alexander Pope

Numbers are the highest degree of knowledge. It is knowledge itself - Plato

To the geometer's eye, the vesica pisces inherently holds the proportions and patterns of the basic shapes even before they are constructed.

The goddess gives birth. The geometer makes visible the archetypal proportions inherent in the vesica pisces, helping them through the birth portal [...]

Nature's pattern are based on the mathematics of three-dimensional space. Inessence, nature's creating process yields its fruit by giving birth to volume. Constructing the universe therefore, involves the process of volumization.

The archetypal field where the patterns first appear is a sphere, a Monad. The geometry that arises within this sphere is obliged to manifest the Monad's principle of equality in all directions. Nature adheres to this principle by configuratting primary volumes that divide the sphere equally in all directions. An experiment with a rubber ball and a piece of chalk will how that there are very few ways to put points around a sphere so that when they are connected by lines they form identicaly shaped surfaces, edge lenghts, and angles. Nature's first expressions in three dimensions are such forms that fit perfectly within the sphere and present us with an identical view in all directions, no matter how you turn it. These forms, or "volumes", are based on surfaces with the same shape, either square, triangle, or pentagon . Ruled by the Monad, three-dimensional nature is structurally disposed to the geometry of equality in all directions.

There are only five volumes tha fulfill this requirement of equality by repeating the identical corner angles, edge angles, edge lenghts, and surface shapes around a sphere. Although scores of stone models of each of the five types dating from 1500 BC have been found in Scotland, no one has ascertained their puropose. The five volumes were discribed by Plato in Timaeus and are known to mathematicians as the "Platonic Solids" and more normally the "regular polyhedra" ("many base"). Four were identified by Plato with the four ancient elements, or states of matter, and the fifth, the quintessence ("fifth being"), represents their all-encompassing "cosmos". Their names derive from the number of faces they have.

Mathematicians have long known there can be only five possible "equal divisions" of three-dimensional space. Highly respected, discussed, and wondered at in ancient times, the construction and study of these five volumes were considered the ultimate goal toward which the elementary constructions built, the culmination and pinnacle of ancient geometric and esoteric knowledge.

The following is an excerpt describing the birth/creation of  archetypal Nature !

---

 Mater makes Matter

Everything created shares the urge to create.Through the miracle of birth the great cosmic creating process expresses its archetype and becomes more conscious of itself. By bringing into expression the vision locked in our hearts we resemble that process and grow in self-awareness. Through geometric replication of nature's formation we can learn about the archetypal principles inherent in universal design and in ourselves.

In ancient mathematical philososphy, the first stirring of the Monad results in the polar Dyad. Its geometric metaphor is the construction of the vesica piscis. In myth, it is represented as the meeting of primeval parents.

All creation is due to polarity. Every birth occurs through this interpenetration of positive and negative, light and dark, male and female, god and goddess, electricity and magnetism, and the two circles of the vesica piscis where geometric forms configure.

While modern science understands the universe as the synchronisation of electronic power with magnetic fields, vibratory patterns of electromagnetc frequencies, and energy bonds, the ancient bards sang of the union of the Great Father and Great Mother. [...]

Where modern science observes the triad of light, energy, and mass as E=mc², the ancients mythologized a mystic marriage and birth in three stages: a field or womb of light arises, it swirls as an energy pattern, and physical forms precipitate upon the pattern. The geometer replicates this cosmic configurating process with three tools. When the precise union of circle occurs, the three-stages process of birth begins, culminating in forms clothed by the four states of matter. [...]

Archetypal patterns arise. The electromagnetic field spins like a sun on its axis. Massless light whirls in mathematically precise rythms and patterns. [...]
