Constructing the Universe Readings. 9-8-13

What is most profound about the sacred geometry in regard to the numbers three and four is that they have been chosen to represent so many things in life and the universe because of the mathematical principles that make them unique. For example, it was particularly interesting to think of how profoundly unique the number three is because it is the only number whose preceding two numbers' sum are its equal (1+2=3). That is the only time that occurs in an infinite numerical sequence. It of course makes sense that this number would feel whole, complete. In the same way, the number four represents squareness (in the way that the rules of a game are 'fair') because 2+2=2x2. These mathematical principles a representative of the way the entire universe works. For everything, it can be said that there is a beginning, middle and end. Every event can be divided into three parts. It was particularly interesting to me to think of the various degrees to which completeness is represented by three, and how in many cases if an event, item, sequence or object is missing a part that gives an incomplete aesthetic, it is off putting or dissonant. Musically, the lack of a note in a triad chord makes it feel hollow, too thick or too thin. But with all three notes, it sounds "whole." In the same way, adding a note that is not a part of the original chord's structure changes its meaning, it does not send the same message.

The number 5. The significance of five is that it represents rebirth, or regeneration, and the correlation between the number five and the various fives that occur in nature is very interesting. What was particularly interesting to me is that in nature, many of the occurrences of 5 that were shown in the reading, for example, the inside of the apple with its five seeds, also create the shape of a star. The shape that these things take always seems to be proportional. It is interesting the way these ideas came about. It would seem that ancient cultures saw these patterns, for example the five seeds in an apple, and also saw the symmetrical dimensions and shapes they often form and because these things are the regenerating features of various aspects of life, whether it be the five seeds of an apple or the five "legs" or the startfish, they assigned the number five to be representative of rebirth or regeneration, which is then given a positive connotation, and therefore now represents, power, status, or goodness.
