A symbolic journey through
the process of manifestation




The Beginning.
The Circle represents Unity and Totality. All points from the center radiate equally. It also symbolizes the void. It is the first, primordial.

 

.

This is Logos.
The first step in manifestation is differentiation. So, the circle will split and divide by two at the center, bilaterally. The Cosmic
idea is preparing to replicate.

  

AIn the end always ONE.
The splitting has begun, new radiating points are formed, and new tangents created. This, the paradox where the two and
one are united.

.

We next draw tangential arcs from the top and bottom points as centers, creating a vesica.

  

This Unity becoming Duality
Equation for squaring the circle, which is the most elegant geometric analogy of the infinite becoming manifest.

  

,
Some of the sacred ratios are expressed in totality by the symmetrical vesica, then by the Triangle, Square, and Pentagon, respectively.
represents the creative idea ,represents the first duality,

the creative idea, manifested.

The first regular divisions of 2-dimensional space emerge as the
Triangle, Square and Pentagon.
Then come the hexagon, octagon, decagon, and dodecagon, then multiplies on......... .

In this closed system of radiation, differentiation is a constant impulse and each circle tangentially presses against another, pushing the envelope of the totality of the surrounding universe. One circle might begin at an open center, until it reaches the other radiating circles.

  

 

Here we see the first organic system, and thus pentagonal symmetry, as is often evident in many forms of life. The intersections of these basic radiations within a circular area yield the five-fold relation symbol known as the Pentagon.

  

 



Like a regular polygons, the Pentagon is filled with many internal correlations. Each side is opposite a point, every diagonal that unites two sides, internally, has a Golden ratio to either of the sides it unites.

 

 

 


This shape is known as the Pentagram. It represents the first harmonic division. It expresses archetypal geometries Each internal diagonal line has a Golden ratio to an outer side. The Golden proportion is one of the constant, incommensurate ratios that govern manifestation. So, too, is PI.

  

The second harmonic division. Each side has been bisected, and every resulting internal point connected. Symmetry yields symmetry. This process can occur at any scale and size, and still retain the same inter-relationships and proportions.

 

Symbolizes the concept of a fifth element, Ether or Universe. It represents the perfect mediation of the infinite and the finite, the sphere and the cube, . It is reciprocal with the Icosahedron;
