Before the development of modern science, scientific questions were addressed as a part of metaphysics known as "natural philosophy"; the term "science" itself meant "knowledge". The Scientific Revolution, however, made natural philosophy an empirical and experimental activity unlike the rest of philosophy, and by the end of the eighteenth century it had begun to be called "science" in order to distinguish it from philosophy. Metaphysics therefore became the philosophical enquiry into subjects beyond the physical world. Natural philosophy and science may still be considered topics of metaphysics, if the definition of "metaphysics" includes empirical explanations.

Cosmology is the branch of metaphysics that deals with the world as the totality of all phenomena in space and time. Historically, it has had quite a broad scope, and in many cases was founded in religion. The ancient Greeks did not draw a distinction between this use and their model for the cosmos. However, in modern use it addresses questions about the Universe which are beyond the scope of physical science. It is distinguished from religious cosmology in that it approaches these questions using philosophical methods

The sacred comes from the Pythagorean notion of the ability of geometrical pattern and arithmetical canon to invoke corresponding spiritual influences. Not everyone who catalogues and writes about sacred geometry considers geometry itself to be inherently spiritual; for some of us, sacred geometry is an adjunct to the study of archaeology, architecture, art history, comparative religion, anthropology, archaeoastronomy, or geometry itself.

Water molecules, carbon atoms, proteins, viruses, cells, and tissues are able to facilitate their purpose in the cycle of life because of their geometrical design. These organisms ability to stabilize mechanically is due to their connectedness to a frame of triangles, pentagons and hexagons.

A contemporary usage of the term sacred geometry describes New Age and occult assertions of a mathematical order to the intrinsic nature of the universe. Scientists see the same geometric and mathematical patterns arise directly from natural principles.

If you copy the Golden Mean Spiral several times and use the same center point, then place it in a circle, you obtain another means of viewing a vortex. This can also be done with any calculable spiral such as the Fibonacci spiral.

The dimensional properties that adhere to the ratio of 1.618 occur repeatedly in nature. Examples are as various as mollusk shells and the shapes of gallaxies containing billions of stars. When u sed in technical analysis, the golden ratio is most often translated into three percentages: – 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%. However, other multiples can be used, such as 23.6%, 161.8%, 423%, and so on. The Fibonacci sequence is applied to finance to predict market movements.

Leonardo Pisano, better known by his nickname, Fibonacci, was an Italian mathematician born in Pisa in the 12th century introduced to Europe and popularized the Hindu-Arabic number system (also called the decimal system). He contributed greatly to number theory, and during his life published many important texts. He is also known for the Fibonacci Series, a numerical series found frequently in the natural world.
 It is said that he first produced his discovery based upon observations of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh in Egypt.

The Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two numbers in the list together to form the next and so on and so on.(1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55...). Divide any number in the Fibonacci sequence by the one before it, for example 55/34, or 21/13, and the answer is always close to 1.61803. This is known as the Golden Ratio.Starting with 5, every second Fibonacci number is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with integer sides, or in other words, the largest number in a Pythagorean triple.

Just Say No to the materialistic school of thinkers

 The modern "know-it-alls" would sneer contemptuously at facts that are known to be of actual occurrence in the daily lives of thousands of intelligent people, and which the experience of humankind has demonstrated for many centuries, in all lands and all races.

The trouble lies in the dogmatic assumption of the materialistic school that what is known as "mind" is merely some peculiar action of the material brain, some writers even holding that "the brain secretes thought, just as the liver secretes bile." They refuse to see that the operation of Mind is a manifestation of energy known as electricity, magnetism, light, heat, gravitation, cohesion, etc. Because mental energy does not register the vibrations of these lower forms of energy, they conclude that the higher mental energy does not exist. Having formulated a theory to suit their materialistic conceptions, they try to ignore all facts not consistent with their theory. If they find a fact that will not squeeze into their narrow theory well, "so much the worse for the fact," as a writer has said and they promptly ignore or dispute it.

 The most common non-cubical dice — often sold in sets of five or six that are each differently shaped but with the same pair of background and marking colors — include one each of the five Platonic solids, which are highly symmetrical.

Traditionally, a die is seldom seen alone, and is rather one of a pair of identical dice that are sized to be comfortably rolled or thrown, together, from a user's hand. Dice were probably originally made from the ankle bones (specifically the talus or "astragalus") of hoofed animals (such as oxen), colloquially known as "knucklebones" Even today in English, dice are sometimes colloquially referred to as "bones", as in "shake them bones" The oldest known dice were excavated as part of a 5000-year-old backgammon set, at the Burnt City archeological site in south-eastern Iran.

the unus mundus of Jung & Pauli

explained by Marie Louise Von Franz

C.J.Jung and Wolfgang Pauli came to hold that the realm of mind, psyche, and the realm of matter, physics, are complementary aspects of the same transcendental reality, the unus mundus. They asserted that archetypes act as the fundamental dynamical patterns whose various representations characterize all processes, whether mental or physical. In the realm of psyche, archetypes organize images and ideas; in the realm of physics, they organize the structure and transformations of matter and energy and account for acausal orderedness, as well. Furthermore, archetypes acting simultaneously in both the realms of psyche and physics were held to account for instances of synchronistic phenomena.

Jung said that number may well be the most primitive element of order in the human mind...thus we define number psychologically as an archetype of order which has become conscious. The archetypes primarily represent dynamical units of psychic energy. In preconscious processes they assimilate representational material originating in the phenomenal world to specific images and models, so that they become introspectively perceptible as ‘psychic’ happenings.

Von Franz examined ancient Chinese number systems, and concluded that the Chinese did not use numbers as quantitative sets but as emblems or symbols: “Numbers thus serve chiefly to make visible the circumstantial individual aspects of the cosmic unity or whole.”(p. 41) Chinese numbers also contained an essential relation with time: “In China, numbers signify organizations which vary in time, or transient ‘ensembles’ of inner and outer factors within the world-totality.”(p. 41-2)

von Franz postulated that representations of this quaternion provide the dynamical patterns which underlie all processes of perception and symbol formation in the psyche and account for the structure and transformation of matter and energy in the physical world.

"Jung asserted that number forms the particular element which unites the realms of psyche and matter.  It is real in an archetypal, qualitative sense and a quantitative sense, uniting the imaginal and physically knowable.  The psychic dynamics of the concept of number appear archetypally as its "transgressive" aspect in the realm of matter.  Numbers above the threshold of consciousness appear as quantitative discontinuities and qualitative individual numbers.  But according to the Jungians, in the unconscious they interpermeate and overlap participating in the one continuum that runs through them all.  Thus, we find certain synchronicities in the Syndex number wheel mandalas, creating metaphysical and empirical harmonies.

This could become the means for the development of a post-Cartesian archetypal science in which a unified inquiry into the nature of mind and matter could take place. We would still celebrate Carnaval as our best example of unus mundos or diversity in unity.

1.618 = golden ratio

"Pay attention to the decision of truth
and the plummet of the balance, according to its stance !"
Papyrus of Ani, Plate 3 - XXVIIIth Dynasty - British Museum

This exhortation summarizes the practice of wisdom and its persuit of truth found in Ancient Egypt. It also points to their philosophy of well-being and art of living happily & light-heartedly (for the outcome of the weighing is determined by the condition of the heart or mind alone).

"In the first place we find the survival of Egyptian religion both within Christianity and outside it in heretical sects like those of the Gnostics, and in the Hermetic tradition that was frankly pagan. Far more widespread than these direct continuations, however, was the general admiration for Ancient Egypt among the educated elites. Egypt, though subordinated to the Christian and biblical traditions on issues of religion and morality, was clearly placed as the source of all 'Gentile' or secular wisdom. Thus no one before 1600 seriously questioned either the belief that Greek civilization and philosophy derived from Egypt, or that the chief ways in which they had been transmitted were through Egyptian colonizations of Greece and later Greek study in Egypt."
Bernal, 1987, p.121, Black Athena (1987).

12 equal pies are 30 degrees each

The compasses straddle the square, representing the interdependence between the two. In the space between the two, there is optionally placed a symbol of metaphysical significance. Sometimes, this is a blazing star or other symbol of Light, representing Truth or knowledge. Alternatively, there is often a letter G placed there, usually said to represent God and/or Sacred Geometry.

We've got to get back to the garden

It involves a psychological awakening to the unconscious impulses that are at work inside us and in our civilization. It is a psychological and spiritual education that has to occur as well as an intellectual one.

My sense is that the crisis is of modern man is a masculine crisis. The resolution of this crisis is emerging in our own time in a tremendous empowerment and resurgence of the feminine. It's visible not only in feminism itself — in the empowerment of women and the new sense of the importance of feminine values in both men and women — but also in a whole new sensibility of the interconnectedness of all life — the ecological identity, the sense that my self is not me as a human being, but that I am rooted in a whole matrix that includes all of nature, the planet, the cosmos itself.

"We live in a world in which mainstream, conventional modern science has essentially voided the cosmos of all intrinsic meaning and purpose. There is no spiritual dimension to it from its point of view. The intellectual power of mainstream modern science has effectively defined what kind of cosmos we live in. And yet human beings aspire for spiritual significance in the life that they lead and in the world that they live in. It is only, I think, though going through a profound inner transformation, and also an intellectual transformation, that one can see beyond that crisis and come into a world of a different kind.

     The coming of Aquarius, the man or water bearer, gives us two lines that fit back together.

The term Year Zero, applied to the takeover of Cambodia in 1975 by the Khmer Rouge, is an analogy to the Year One of the French Revolutionary Calendar. During the French Revolution, after the abolition of the French monarchy (September 20, 1792), the National Convention instituted a new calendar and declared the beginning of the Year I. The Khmer Rouge takeover of Phnom Penh was rapidly followed by a series of drastic revolutionary policies vastly exceeding those of the French Reign of Terror and culminating in the Cambodian Genocide.

Since Aquarius exteriorizes through Leo, its polar opposite, this period would have offered many opportunities to demonstrate a sense of purposeful creativity and genuine, spontaneous sincere engaged Love in every life approach, these being Leo qualities. We all had the Aquarian ideal awakened in some way, and collectively, it is easy to see we are in a completely unique "unknown zone" as a human race.

The Aquarius symbol is metaphoric in content - meaning 'closure in water'. Water represents the collective unconsciousness that which creates the grid programs of our physical reality. Many connect the Age of Aquarius with the return of the goddess, priestess, or feminine energies - those that vibrate above/faster than physical frequency. This is the return to higher consciousness, the awakening of higher mind and thought in the alchemy of time

Mass communication, electricity, ease of travel, the internet and particularly the space age are all signs that the Age of Aquarius is arriving. Gret Baumann-Jung (Carl G. Jung's daughter and well-known Swiss astrologer) suggested in 1969 that the Aquarian Age had began with Russia’s first space probes in the late 1950s.

The Piscean Age, ruled by Neptune and symbolized by the twin fish swimming in opposite directions, has accordingly been dominated by dualistic thinking in the form of an endless array of irreconcilable polarities. Key dualisms such as God/human, good/evil/spirit/matter, inner/outer, male/female, science/religion, reinforced in Western culture by Christian dogma, gave rise to hierarchical thinking which inevitably privileged one pole of the duality at the expense of the other. Hence the Medieval model of an ascending ladder or chain of command reaching back to God is a feature of Piscean vertical thinking. The Church as been displaced as a prime spiritual force for most although Church or mosque power remains one of the planet's greatest threats to human survival. Still the decline of the Great Religions would correspond to a decline in the force of Pisces.

According to astrological mysticism, there will be unusual harmony and understanding in the world. Those who follow that belief system see it as a turning point in human consciousness in which balance is restored by consciously moving beyond the physical body.

Emerging Egalitarian-Libertarian dynamic provides 21st century vehicles for expansion of freedom and equality, liberty and justice

The present authoritarian thought system reaches back through two millennia of Western civilization, almost unchallenged. It lacks long-term vision

This mindset is linear, exclusionary and competitive. It seeks either to take charge of nature's rhythms or ignore them. An emerging mindset of networking, rather than top–down control, may be starting to clear the smog. This new way of thinking is organic, inclusionary and collaborative—and certainly aware of longer-term horizons. It could replace the buccaneering, conformist mentality with self-responsibility and respect for diversity.

In the Age of Aquarius, means moving toward a global consciousness, a collective self-awareness. The Aquarian bumber sticker: one people living on one planet. The Age of Aquarius is the networking power of decentralization and democracy. Signs of its arrival include the creation of the internet, which is moving us toward a decentralized world.

Zodiacal Signs & Constellations

The 3rd millennium of the Gregorian calendar began on 1 January 2001 (rather than the popularly-celebrated 1 January 2000). This is a direct consequence of the absence of a year zero in the Common Era. Had there been a year zero, which might be considered part of the first millennium, then 1 January 2000 would indeed mark 2000 years since the year numbering datum and be the start of the third millennium.

Within the Zodiacal Season of Aquarius there are the three Ages of Aquarius (Man), Capricorn (the Sea Goat) and Sagittarius (the Archer).

There is nothing more comforting than an illusion

R.W. Emerson Illusions

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus gives perhaps the most famous hermetic maxim: "As above, so below." According to this ancient Egyptian notion, the cosmos is a vast and resonating web of living symbolic correspondences between humans and earth and heaven. And as Pesce points out, this maxim also points to a dynamite way to manipulate data space. "You can manipulate a whole bunch of things with one symbol, dragging in a whole idea space with one icon. It's like a nice compression algorithm."
