Look at the soul as being a bridge between your mind and the intangible essence of your spirit, gently guiding your mind through a doorway of transcendence to a higher plane of awareness.īy bringing the flower of life to words and pictures, your consciousness can be encouraged to move toward a realization greater than itself. Enlightenment may be part of this pattern-a communication that connects consciousness through the language of the Universe. This pattern of nature can be seen inside many art forms and has a universally stimulating effect on the mind. Just as we see the existence of the spiral in our fingerprints and galaxies and in the creation of pyramids and paintings, the golden ratio also appears inside the pages of a book-and even in a book’s cover design. Literature can draw on the golden ratio in the structure of words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, and pictures. Leonardo De Vinci found inspiration in the mathematics of art and nature and it is almost certain he painted to conform to the golden ratio-especially the proportions set out in the Mona Lisa. Pythagoras discovered the golden proportions of the human body and this was portrayed by artists throughout Greek art. The Egyptians were probably the first to combine mathematics with art in the design of their pyramids. The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Chinese all depict the golden ratio in their artwork. Golden proportions are to be found in music and even light. The principles of the golden spiral also can be seen in the design of buildings and architecture, as well as in art and literature. The fact that the golden spiral shows up in many growth patterns of plants, animals and even whole galaxies makes us wonder if this unique shape is not indeed the pattern of life. When you connect a curve through the opposite corners of these concentric rectangles, you form the golden spiral. In other words, the process goes on forever. When this even smaller rectangle is squared, it in turn leaves a yet smaller rectangle behind-and this process continues until the shapes become so small you cannot see them anymore. When this rectangle is squared, it leaves a smaller rectangle that has the same golden ratio as the original. The golden spiral, also called the flower of life, is a twirling pattern that forms out from a rectangle with the golden ratio. Out of the golden ratio rises the golden spiral, whose familiar coil shape can be found everywhere in nature, such as in the structure of our DNA and fingerprints, sunflowers and seashells, storm clouds and tornados-even a star cluster nebula like the Milky Way. This simple fraction has been an inspiration to many artists, musicians, mathematicians and philosophers throughout our history. It is a ubiquity number widely accepted as a divine proportion and spiritually regarded as the language of the Universe. Φ = 1 + 5 2 = is the golden ratio.Īpplication examples you can see in the articles Pentagon with a given side length, Decagon with given circumcircle and Decagon with a given side length.īoth of the above displayed different algorithms produce geometric constructions that determine two aligned line segments where the ratio of the longer one to the shorter one is the golden ratio.Ī golden triangle ABC can be subdivided by an angle bisector into a smaller golden triangle CXB and a golden gnomon XAC.The golden ratio or spiral is a unique relation existing in the universe between the whole and the part and has been in our consciousness for over 4,000 years.
