APHRODITE (A-FRDT) A PENTAGRAM, THE ALFA-TETRAGRAMATON .
WHAT IS 'TRUTH' WITHOUT ITS DERIVATIVE
For example the book of John, the
following affirmation captures the essence of my inquiry. "In the
beginning was the word, and the word was with god, and the word was god."
It seems logical before accepting John’s affirmation as true, is to ask
for clarification. Asserting or assuming anything as truth
bearing without clarification is not my character.
The esoteric meaning of the name Aphrodite has not been decoded and there is disagreement among scholars as to its origin. The etymology of Greek
Ἀφροδίτη The archaic (Homeric)
pronunciation of the name Ἀφροδίτη was approximately [A'pʰro'diːtɛː] or [A’bro’di:
tti], in time [A'froˈdi: tɛ:], changing further to [A' froˈditi] in
Byzantine Greek by iotacism. The most common English pronunciation of Aphrodite
is/ˌæfrɵˈdaɪti/.
To date all who have attempted to decipher the origin and meaning of either the word, Aphrodite or her epithet Kypria, Kypris, Kyprigeneia and Kyprogenês have failed to agree.
The Attic creation of the word Aphrodite as logos, is in Homer's "Ta Kypria Epi."
I posit that in the
beginning of PIE, KPR was the word, and the word was not God but kypri. Kypri was the word, a triliteral, a trigram. The logos in tri-unity. A concept expressing "absolute unity" "absolute universal reality" defined and articulated by the consonants k-p-r. The word, a verb, that incorporates time, flow, transformation.
The word Kypri has the same origin as the Egyptian
word Kheper, again (root k-p-r ) which represented the governing principal
responsible for the origin of life, a beginning as well as eternal life.
I believe the word "keeper" (root k-p-r ) God is our Keeper. Keeper of the path and eternal sun's cycle.
Kypri at root k-p-r, was current when the Muse, the goddess was shown as three not yet evolved to the Apollonian nine in number and Kypri affirmed the principal of the 'Holy Spirit' the 'Being, becoming, as a tri-literal, in triad, a triunity. The unity of 3 as eternal. The All in One or OneAll, plus 'love eternal.'
I believe the word "keeper" (root k-p-r ) God is our Keeper. Keeper of the path and eternal sun's cycle.
Kypri at root k-p-r, was current when the Muse, the goddess was shown as three not yet evolved to the Apollonian nine in number and Kypri affirmed the principal of the 'Holy Spirit' the 'Being, becoming, as a tri-literal, in triad, a triunity. The unity of 3 as eternal. The All in One or OneAll, plus 'love eternal.'
Aphrodite, came along
when the Muse were multiplied by three, when they became nine in number and Apollo,
the All, the apple of her eye who now represented the 10th, together represented totality.
The logos/word Aphrodite
was Attic and it was articulated from the new Apollonian alphabet which came to represent the new order,
reaffirming the union of the finite and infinite, the OneAll, the omnipotent
mind born creator and creation with a new alphabetic code that altered the 13 month circa to a 12 month one,.
Aphrodite reconfirmed the concept of 'absolute unity' as the quintessential, the 5, the 5th, as a pentagram, articulated as Alpha-Tetragramaton. The logical, graphic origin of the concept is the superimposition of the 1 over the 0, dividing the circle vertically as in the Greek letter Phi, Φ. The totality 10 of Apollo graphically represented by 1 the finite, vertically dividing and or uniting the 0, the infinite. The five fold, Quintuple Goddess, symbolized identity, as a dynamic whole with five aspects of a unity for each; in quintad she expresses the unity of the Sacred Whole. The unity of nature is expressed in the cycle of “Birth, Initiation, Consummation, Repose, and Death/resurrection. A cyclical recurrence within a unified whole. Mother, Maiden, Nymph/Bride, Crone/Hag, Layer-out/Slayer.
Also that the 13 consonants which were
distributed on the 13 station moon cycle calendar, were redistributed onto a
new 12 station sun cycle calendar. This was achieved by esoterically pairing,
or twinning at the summer solstice, the consonants D & T that we
subsequently came to know as the Twins, and the consonants B&R at the
winter Solstice, representing the eternal, with which humanity was already
familiar in its exoteric form, as the logos, Oura-BoRos, (the head of the
serpent biting its own tail). The introduction of the new consonant ‘Z’ made
the total number of consonants 14, plus the 5 vowels totaling 19, which is the
number of years it took the circa of the moon and sun to synchronize.
A new order was conceived. This new order primarily undermined the previous
logic from which the truth bearing logograms were abstracted and affirmed. The blueprint
used for naming the logos and all gods and goddesses and demigods that
represented the powers of nature and generation that belonged to their competitors
became history.
The figure below gives an approximate idea of how the new 14 consonants and 5 vowels must have been redistributed.
The logos Aphrodite a pentagram, was abstracted by superimposing the new graphic Phi (the
vertical line cutting a circle thus 'φ') over the new alphabet arrangement,
where the 13 old consonants of the Beth-Luis-Nion plus the new Zeta
were redistributed into a 12 month circa/circle. All this is probably happening at the time that the bowman Chiron was introduced to the Zodiac.
The first letter of the new logos was the feminine vowel "A" which stood as the Alfa, the first. The following pair (pr) of letters were the 'BR,' representing the concept of absolute unity, the infinite and eternal, the pair as bridge over troubled waters, or "Life-in-Death" united as one, a pro. Outside of linear time, or before, or in front of time. The final pair of letters or the coup d'e.tat as I see it was the combination of the Delta and Tau, united, they became the twins, Gemini, the "DT," ditto in English, dittos in Attic. The D and the T now stood united in a single sign with the twins on the zodiac at the summer solstice. The twins represented the still point at the top of the world between the rising and the falling of the sun, suggesting "Death-in-Life." Thus I posit that the articulated logos Aphrodite was/is a pentagram, an Alfa-Tetragramaton, A-BRDT or A-PhRDT or A-φRDT.
Aphrodite is therefore an old concept of unity from a new religious order, a new esoteric doctrine.
THE FIGURE ABOVE IS FROM THE WHITE GODDESS
A transfer of power from the original Moon-goddess - who was worshiped at the two solstices as the Goddess of alternately Life-in-Death and Death-in-Life, to whom the Halcyon was sacred - to Aphrodite did take place. The historical evidence must be there for an expert with hindsight to pinpoint. My evidence is that it took place just after middle of the second millennium BC when the Aeolians agreed to accept the Olympian religion. Pliny reports that the Halcyon, a rare bird seen only at the winter and summer solstices was sacred to Aphrodite.
The Asclepiads traced their decent to Apollo's son Ascleius the physician god of Delphi and Cos. Aristotle has given us the number of letters as 13 consonants and five vowels and his list of letters corresponds exactly with the Beth-Luis-Nion, except that he gives Zeta for H-aspirate and a new letter Phi for F.
Graves says that in the case of Phi the epigraphic evidence is against, for it appears exoterically to replace the F digamma much later.
What appears to be at play is the Pelasgian alphabet which was said to have been the only surviving one after the Deluge- the one the Greeks survived by Deucalion and Pyrha, 'the red one' must have existed Dioi ('divine). The introduction of delta as the twin brother of the west semetic Cadmean Tau. Hyginus recorded that the Fates, alternately Mercury, first invented the original five vowels and the sequence of consonants from Beta to Tau.
This was the new beginning, for it superseded the roots of the previously affirmed logos. The taxonomic foundation of all previous knowledge based on the original Beth-Luis-Nion letters was undermined.
This new, interim, esoteric alphabet simply by rearranging the order of letters and positioning the Delta and Tau in a cluster at the summer solstice united with the Twins, and the Beta and Ra again in a cluster at the winter solstice, united, with the Centaur, made the leap of faith from "Death-to-Birth" a reality in word.
Aphrodite replaced the goddess of triunity, Kypris with the Alfa-Tetragramaton, the new logos now a She/He, was for the first time created in abstract, mind-born with no connection to the heart. Of fire and water of the air and of the earth connected on tip toe or golden slippers. She/He rose from the froth exoterically, "prpr" in Armenian, the frfroth in English BRigit of the brine again and again the name starts with the br, pr vr, fr and finally the concept of the eternal previously affirmed by the triunity that was Kypris, KPR was now in pentagram representing the sun cycle and Kypris became Kypros. Aphrodite was the new potent goddess of a new potent contemporary order that defeated Troy. She was the KYPRIA of Homer's Epic. She was esoterically established but it seems never discovered by her competition. It is worth mentioning that both the zodiac and exoteric Aphrodite are still with us today.
I know I have discovered the esoteric secret behind the logos Aphrodite, and Kypria. For once and for all, for one and all. The 1 and the 0, the totality of 10/2 life eternal.
For the designer it must have been fun, fun, fun, for it's like daddy took the T-bird away. Imagine the Tau, now having to share the top of the world with Dia. The Twins, Dia&Tau, Ditto, DT.
A for Alfa plus "br/pr/fr/vr/phr/φr" both for the truth bearer" and in unity a logos of the
contradictory opposites, 'Life-in-Death' on the birthday of the divine child,
24th December, the sun at its lowest. The connection with the "dt"
the deity, for unity of complimentary opposites 'death in life' 21st June the
sun at its highest point, a master design.
The following were titles I came up
with while playing with the focus button of my mind:
Aphrodite
represented the “idea” of love as the governing principal between unity and
diversity, the finite and infinite and the "idea" persuasion between
desire and satisfaction.
Aphrodite
is the truth bearing logos.
Aphrodite is an affirmation of absolute reality.
Aphrodite is the Alfa-Tetragramaton.
Aphrodite is the vertical line dividing the circle thus the origin of Phi.
Aphrodite is the governing principal of existence.
Aphrodite is the axis mundi.
Aphrodite is the Goddess in totality
Aphrodite is an affirmation of absolute reality.
Aphrodite is the Alfa-Tetragramaton.
Aphrodite is the vertical line dividing the circle thus the origin of Phi.
Aphrodite is the governing principal of existence.
Aphrodite is the axis mundi.
Aphrodite is the Goddess in totality
A little about the Phi, Φ and the fact that the Greek for ‘mean ratio' is logos.
Today Modern Greek, letters are used as symbols in mathematics and
science.
The ϕ is used to represent the golden ratio, 0.618... in mathematics, art, and architecture.
The ϕ is used to represent the golden ratio, 0.618... in mathematics, art, and architecture.
In the system of Greek numerals Phi has a value of 500 (φʹ) or 500,000 (͵φ). The Cyrillic letter Ef (Ф,ф) arose from Φ.
Strictly speaking, ideograms
represent ideas directly and Numbers according to ancient arithmosophy stands
for ideas too. For example the number 3 stands for the Deity, like 4 is Man in
its present personal stage and that 5 is for Destiny and 10 for totality. 5 is
the half of 10 so when you think that 10 may be written or rather drawn with
the I , over the O, the vertical line as the diameter
dividing the cycle, thus φ. That is how arithmosophy can
claim the number 5 represents the diameter. It is said that the number 5 also represents matter in its cosmic
state, therefore it represents the relationship of the Manifest to the
Unmanifest, consequently it represents the law of Cause and Effect, Karma or Destiny.
Given the
mathematical constant of 1.618 ... that is found throughout creation is
represented by the symbol phi, φ, which is the symbol 0 for nothing split in
two by the symbol 1 for unity and one, I posit that the logos Aphrodite and the
knowledge of phi are synonymous. Nothing split by unity is what the phi and
Aphrodite represents, so if 1.618...is both a finite and infinite number than
it can be said to represent the constant of creation. Adding unity, a monad, a
One to nothing or naught, produces both the φ and Aphrodite.
The number 72 on the other hand is another story, and it interests me tremendously. It is said to be the multiple of nine, the number of lunar wisdom, and eight the number of solar increase. 72, Mr. Clyde Stacey suggests, "is also linked to the Goddess, astronomically, by the seventy-two-day season during which her planet Venus moves successively from maximum eastern elongation to inferior conjunction (closest approach to earth) and thence to maximum west elongation. A third quality is that the proportion of all the letters in the alphabet to the vowels is 22 to 7, which, as has already been mentioned, is the mathematical formula, once secret, for the relation of the circumference of the circle to the diameter."

The etymology of
Greek Ἀφροδίτη till now has been unknown. What is known is that the archaic
(Homeric) pronunciation of the name Ἀφροδίτη was approximately [ˌapʰroˈdiːtɛː].
In Koine Greek, this became [ˌafroˈdiːtɛː], changing further to [ˌafroˈditi] in
Byzantine Greek by iotacism. The most common English pronunciation of Aphrodite
is/ˌæfrɵˈdaɪti/.
According to the cosmogonic views of
the nature of Aphrodite was the personification of the generative powers of
nature and the mother of all living beings. A trace of this notion seems to be
contained in the tradition that in the contest of Typhon with the gods,
Aphrodite metamorphosed herself into a fish, the animal that was considered to
possess the greatest generative powers. (Ov. Met. v. 318, &c.;
comp. Hygin. Poet. Astr. 30.)
However according to the popular belief of the Greeks and their poetical descriptions, she was the goddess that represented the power of love, She excited passion in the hearts of gods and men, and by this power ruled over all living creation. (Hom. Hymn. in Ven. ; Lucret. 15,& amp;c.)
PHIDIAS: Phidias (500 BC - 432 BC), a Greek sculptor and mathematician, studied phi and applied it to the design of sculptures for the Parthenon, the Bronze statue of Zeus, Athena and Aphrodite.
Phidias or Pheidias (in Ancient Greek, Φειδίας; circa 480 BC – 430 BC), was a Greek sculptor, painter and architect, who lived in the 5th century BC, and is commonly regarded as one of the greatest of all sculptors of Classical Greece. The earliest of the works of Phidias were dedications in memory of Marathon, celebrating the Greek victory. At Delphi he erected a great group in bronze including the figures of Greek gods Apollo and Athena, several Attic heroes, and General Miltiades the Younger. On the Acropolis of Athens Pheidias set up a colossal bronze statue of Athena, the Athena Promachos, which was visible far out at sea. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and warriors and the protectress of Athens. At Pellene in Achaea and at Plataea Pheidias made two other statues of Athena, as well as a statue of the goddess Aphrodite in ivory and gold for the people of Elis. Ancient critics take a very high view of the merits of Phidias. What they especially praise is the ethos or permanent moral level of his works as compared with those of the later so called "pathetic" school. Demetrius calls his statues sublime, and at the same time precise.
Euclid (365 BC - 300 BC), in "Elements," referred to dividing a line at the 0.6180399... point as "dividing a line in the extreme and mean ratio." This later gave rise to the use of the term mean in the golden mean. He also linked this number to the construction of a pentagram.
DIVINE PROPORTION
Plato, (circa 428 BC -
347 BC), in his views on natural science and cosmology presented in his
"Timaeus," considered the golden section to be the most binding of
all mathematical relationships and the key to the physics of the cosmos.
If the ancient and modern vision of the universe is as a living, breathing, conscious Being, then the idea of the omnipotent Golden Spiral a mathematical expression of the life breath of a living universe made a lot of sense.
The ancient rishis (Yogi's who purified their body/minds and directly experienced the fundamental forces of creation) claimed to have experienced the underlying unity of all cycles as the breath of Brahma and the ubiquitous periodicity of the universe as the rhythm of the life breath of a single harmonious Living Being.
The ancient vision of the ubiquitous universe is as a living, breathing, conscious “Being” expressed exoterically and logically in mathematics (geometry) by the Golden Triangle, the Golden Spiral.
While the proportion known as the Golden Mean has always existed in mathematics and in the physical universe, it is unknown exactly when it was first discovered and applied by mankind. It is reasonable to assume that it has perhaps been discovered and rediscovered throughout history, which explains why it goes under several names.
Luca Pacioli published the Divina proportione, the Divine Proportion in 1509. In it he refers to the golden ratio "dal ciel mandata" as heaven-sent. In the following Luca gives his reasoning as to why he calls the golden ratio divine.
First, Phi like god is unique, second the Trinity is one substance in three persons, and the Divine Proportion is a single proportion in three terms. Third, since God cannot be described in words, the divine proportion cannot be expressed by a rational number. It is occult and secret (secretissima scientia) and finally his best reason, my favorite, for like God, it is always similar to itself.
Phi was and still is the Key to understanding life, the description of this proportion as Golden and Divine is fitting perhaps because it opens the door to a deeper understanding of the esoteric meaning of the beauty and spirituality in life. This one number, this sign which bears a truth, has played an incredible role in human history and in the universe at large.
The electromagnetic spectrum as we call it today is said to vibrate as a unity aligned through the Golden Spiral. The cosmic octave underlies all vibration on every level of creation. Like wheels within wheels, vibration is embedded as fields within fields ruled by universal law through the harmony of the Golden Spiral.
It wasn't until the 1900's that American mathematician Mark Barr revived the Greek letter phi to designate this proportion. By this time this ubiquitous proportion was known as the golden mean, golden section and golden ratio as well as the Divine proportion. Phi is the first letter of Phidias (1), who used the golden ratio in his sculptures, as well as the Greek equivalent to the letter "F," the first letter of Fibonacci. Phi is also the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet, and 21 is one of numbers in the Fibonacci series. The character for phi also has some interesting theological implications.
Today there is a overwhelming body of scientific evidence that points to the fact that the ancients knew what they were talking about when they spoke of the universe as a single harmonious system, an “Absolute Unity.” And the key to demonstrate and express this concept of unity is found in the aspect of natural law, known variously as the“Divine Proportion,” “Golden Section,” “Golden Ratio,” or Golden Spiral.”
The ancient cultures understood the profound harmony of the universe. Their science was based on this fundamental aspect of universal law. Universally, energy emanates from a center in a “step-down” process that follows the Golden Spiral of the Divine Proportion.
The elements are archetypal harmonics corresponding to the phases of materialization in the Polarity Evolutionary Cycle.
Therefore, the Divine Proportion phi, presents itself in the very physical nature of Creation. It is seen as the beauty and organization within the cosmos. It is the harmony and glue that holds the unity of the universe.
The Divine Proportion presents itself in the very physical nature of Creation. It is seen as the beauty and organization within the cosmos, the quintessential. It is the harmonic flow and glue that holds the unity of the universe.
Does the "Divine Proportion” represented by the graphic Φ, the letter Phi and the irrational number 1.618………… the Golden Spiral, express the secret behind the logos Aphrodite? Did the Greeks extrapolate the name of their “Golden Goddess” from the Divine Proportion? When did they introduce Phi into their alphabet?
Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), discoverer of the elliptical nature of the orbits of the planets around the sun, also made mention of the "Divine Proportion," saying this about it: "Geometry has two great treasures: one is the theorem of Pythagoras; the other, the division of a line into extreme and mean ratio. The first we may compare to a measure of gold; the second we may name a precious jewel."
The divine proportion had lost its magical attraction
*In spherical coordinates, mathematicians usually refer to phi as the polar angle (from the z-axis). The convention in physics is to use phi as the azimuthal angle (from the x-axis). The vertical line.
*The chakra system of the body is a subsystem of the vibratory fields of nature and the universe. The chakra system is the nucleus of the energy field of the body. Its sevenfold vibratory field provides the step-down mechanism between the energy fields of nature and the cosmos and their microcosm, the physical body.
*In geometry, a locus (Latin for "place", plural loci) is a collection of points which share a property. For example a circle may be defined as the locus of points in a plane at a fixed distance from a given point. A locus may alternatively be described as the path through which a point moves to fulfill a given condition or conditions. So, for example, a circle may also be defined as the locus of a point moving so as to remain at a given distance from a fixed point. As is the path of the sun.

A golden triangle, also known as the sublime triangle, the isosceles triangle in which the smaller side is in golden ratio with its adjacent side:
The Pythagoreans called the pentagram ὑγιεία Hugieia ("health"; also the Greek goddess of health, Hygieia), and saw in the pentagram a mathematical perfection .
It is also the shape of the triangles found in the points of pentagrams. Since the angles of a triangle sum to 180°, base angles are therefore 72° each. The golden triangle can also be found in a decagon, or a ten-sided polygon, by connecting any two adjacent vertices to the center. This will form a golden triangle. This is because: 180(10-2)/2=144 degrees is the interior angle and bisecting it through the vertex to the center, 144/2=72. why 72 is a mystery number.

The
golden triangle is used to form alogarithmic spiral. By bisecting the
base angles, a new point is created that in turn, makes another golden
triangle. The bisection process can be continued infinitely, creating an
infinite number of golden triangles. A logarithmic spiral can be drawn through
the vertices. This spiral is also known as an equiangular spiral, a term coined
by Rene Descartes. "If a straight
line is drawn from the pole to any point on the curve, it cuts the curve at
precisely the same angle," hence equiangular
Closely related to the golden triangle is the golden gnomon, which is the obtuse isosceles triangle in which the ratio of the length of the equal (shorter) sides to the length of the third side is the reciprocal of the golden ratio. The golden gnomon is also uniquely identified as a triangle having its three angles in 1:1:3 proportions. The acute angle is 36 degrees, which is the same as the apex of the golden triangle.
The golden triangle has a ratio of base length to side length equal to the golden section φ, whereas the golden gnomon has the ratio of side length to base length equal to the golden section φ.
In a pentagram, each corner is a golden triangle. The figure also contains five golden gnomons, made by joining two non-adjacent corners to the central pentagon A pentagram (sometimes known as a pentalpha or pentangle or, more formally, as a star pentagon) is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes. The word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon), a noun form ofπεντάγραμμος (pentagrammos) or πεντέγραμμος (pentegrammos), a word meaning roughly "five-lined" or "five lines", fromπέντε (pente), "five"[+γραμμή (grammē), "line".
Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia, and are used today as a symbol of faith by many Wiccans, akin to the use of the cross by Christians and the Star of David by Jews. The pentagram has magical associations, and many people who practice Neopagan faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. Christians once more commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus. The pentagram has associations with Freemasonry and is also utilized by many other fundamental belief systems.
The ancient Pythagorean pentagram, with two legs up, represented the Pentemychos (πεντέμυχος"of five sanctuaries"), a cosmogony written by Pythagoras' teacher and friend Pherecydes of Syros. It was the "island" or "cave" where the first pre-cosmic-offspring had to be put in order for the cosmos to appear: "the divine products of Chronos' seed [σπέρμα spérma], when disposed in five recesses, were called Πεντέμυχος (Pentemuxos)"
The golden ratio, φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618, satisfying plays an important role in regular pentagons and pentagrams. Each intersection of edges sections the edges in golden ratio: the ratio of the length of the edge to the longer segment is φ, as is the length of the longer segment to the shorter. The ratio of the length of the shorter segment to the segment bounded by the 2 intersecting edges (a side of the pentagon in the pentagram's center) is φ.
A logarithmic spiral, equiangular spiral or growth spiral is a special kind of spiral curve which often appears in nature. The logarithmic spiral was first described by Descartes and later extensively investigated by Jacob Bernoulli, who called it Spira mirabilis, "the marvelous spiral".
The Golden Spiral describes the radiation of energy from a center. In all natural processes energy radiates from a center in the logarithmic proportions of the Golden Spiral. One can witness the Golden Spiral in the curve of an elephant’s tusk, the beak of Thoth’s Ibis, the horns of the Mouflon and the Ram of the god Amon, the curve of a canary’s claw, the spiral in a pineapple or daisy. The spiral of one’s fingerprints or the curl in an eye lash, follow the Golden Spiral, the Divine Proportion. The planets of our solar system radiate from our Sun, and galaxies manifest following the rhythms of the Golden Spiral. The Fibonacci numerical progression describes the law that underlies the radiation of energy in nature. “It governs, for example, the laws involved with the multiple reflections of light through mirrors, as well as the rhythmic laws of gains and losses in the radiation of energy.”
*In several natural phenomena - the mollusks ( Barnacle) the most relevant to the theme of Aphrodite - one finds curves the logarithmic curve, spiral. Here follows some examples and reasons: Many biological structures including the shells of mollusks.
*The arms of tropical cyclones, such as hurricanes.
If the ancient and modern vision of the universe is as a living, breathing, conscious Being, then the idea of the omnipotent Golden Spiral, a mathematical expression of the life breath of a living universe, makes a lot of sense.
The ancient rishis (Yogi's who purified their body/minds and directly experienced the fundamental forces of creation) claimed to have experienced the underlying unity of all cycles as the breath of Brahma and the ubiquitous periodicity of the universe as the rhythm of the life breath of a single harmonious Living Being.
Phi can be found throughout the universe explains Bruce Rawles; “from the spirals of galaxies to the spiral of a Nautilus seashell; from the harmony of music to the beauty in art. A botanist will find it in the growth patterns of flowers and plants, while the zoologist sees it in the breeding of rabbits. The entomologist views it in the genealogy of a bee, and the physicist observes it in the behavior of light and atoms. A Wall Street analyst finds it in the rising and falling patterns of a market, the mathematician in the examination of the pentagram. . . . The ancient Egyptians used it in the construction of the great pyramids and in the design of hieroglyphs found on tomb walls.
Plato in his Timaeus considered it the most binding of all mathematical relations and makes it the key to the physics of the cosmos. The message from scripture of all the major monotheistic religions is that God is One, Who created the universe from nothing, splitting nothingness into offsetting forces and elements. Today we understand the universe to consist of positive and negative atomic and subatomic particles and charges, matter and anti-matter, all coming from a singularity in what we term the "Big Bang."
The teachings of most religions express the thought that part of God is within each of us and that we are created in His image. The pervasive appearance of phi throughout life and the universe is believed by some to be the signature of God, a universal constant of design used to assure the beauty and unity of His creation.
Now ADD God to the void or Unity to Nothing. In other words, add 0 plus 1 to get 1, and then follow this pattern to the Infinite. This is the Fibonacci series. The ratio of each number in the series to the one before it converges on Phi as you move towards infinity, ∞!
The Golden Proportion is analogous to God's relationship to creation. The Golden Section, or Phi, found throughout nature, also applies in understanding the relationship of God to Creation.
In Gematria, the most holy name of God, referred to as the Tetragrammaton, embodies some very interesting Golden Ratio relationships.
Gematria is a system of assigning numerical value to a word or phrase. It is likely that the term derives from the order of the Greek alphabet, gamma being the third letter of the Greek alphabet (gamma + tria) or from Greek geōmetriā, "geometry." Although apparently derived from Greek, it is largely used in Jewish texts, most notably in those associated with the Kabbalah, a set of teachings meant to explain the relationship between an eternal and mysterious Creator and the mortal and finite universe (His creation).
The Tetragrammaton, meaning "[a word] having four letters", refers to the name of the God of Israel as YHWH (Hebrew: י-ה-ו-ה) that appears 6,828 times the Hebrew Bible, the first of which is in Genesis 2:4, which says, "4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
The symbolic meanings of Greek Φ. Phi, represent heavenly grace/favor and beauty through the messenger the governing principal, the principal of love. Firstly the Grace of Goddess as ‘love’ as lover of wisdom. Intuition, perception, renewal and reform. Unity; Oneness. Sovereignty and light.
In the face of division/ duality, difference She rises to Divine perfection.
Godhead of unity, creativity, material completeness.
Closely related to the golden triangle is the golden gnomon, which is the obtuse isosceles triangle in which the ratio of the length of the equal (shorter) sides to the length of the third side is the reciprocal of the golden ratio. The golden gnomon is also uniquely identified as a triangle having its three angles in 1:1:3 proportions. The acute angle is 36 degrees, which is the same as the apex of the golden triangle.
The golden triangle has a ratio of base length to side length equal to the golden section φ, whereas the golden gnomon has the ratio of side length to base length equal to the golden section φ.
In a pentagram, each corner is a golden triangle. The figure also contains five golden gnomons, made by joining two non-adjacent corners to the central pentagon A pentagram (sometimes known as a pentalpha or pentangle or, more formally, as a star pentagon) is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes. The word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon), a noun form ofπεντάγραμμος (pentagrammos) or πεντέγραμμος (pentegrammos), a word meaning roughly "five-lined" or "five lines", fromπέντε (pente), "five"[+γραμμή (grammē), "line".
Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia, and are used today as a symbol of faith by many Wiccans, akin to the use of the cross by Christians and the Star of David by Jews. The pentagram has magical associations, and many people who practice Neopagan faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. Christians once more commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus. The pentagram has associations with Freemasonry and is also utilized by many other fundamental belief systems.
The ancient Pythagorean pentagram, with two legs up, represented the Pentemychos (πεντέμυχος"of five sanctuaries"), a cosmogony written by Pythagoras' teacher and friend Pherecydes of Syros. It was the "island" or "cave" where the first pre-cosmic-offspring had to be put in order for the cosmos to appear: "the divine products of Chronos' seed [σπέρμα spérma], when disposed in five recesses, were called Πεντέμυχος (Pentemuxos)"
The golden ratio, φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618, satisfying plays an important role in regular pentagons and pentagrams. Each intersection of edges sections the edges in golden ratio: the ratio of the length of the edge to the longer segment is φ, as is the length of the longer segment to the shorter. The ratio of the length of the shorter segment to the segment bounded by the 2 intersecting edges (a side of the pentagon in the pentagram's center) is φ.

Robert Graves’s description of the Triple Goddess:
“As Goddess of the Underworld she was concerned with Birth, Procreation and Death. As Goddess of the Earth she was concerned with the three seasons of spring, summer and winter: she animated trees and plants and ruled all living creatures. As Goddess of the Sky she was the Moon, in her three phases of New Moon, Full Moon, and Waning Moon.
As the New Moon or spring she was a girl; as the Full Moon or summer she was woman; as the Old Moon or winter she was hag.”
Graves' conception of the Triple Goddess was a constantly evolving one. He never settled on one form. He identified the Triple Goddess as maiden, nymph/bride, and crone. The mother-aspect comes later.
Graves associates the Triple Goddess with the three phases of the moon (new, full, and old) New Moon is the white goddess of birth and growth; the Full Moon, the red goddess of love and battle; the Old Moon, the black goddess of death and divination. He also associates Her three seasons (spring, summer, and autumn), the white raiser, red reaper, and dark winnower of grain.
Graves suggested the triple, quadruple and quintuple forms of the Goddess. In The White Goddess, the Maiden/Mother/Crone the trinity occurs most frequently. What Graves was most concerned about in the books was with her ever-changing relationship in time with her male counterpart, her son, lover, and victim?
The Triple, Quadruple and Quintuple Goddess.
According to Jung, the quartered-circle, or the circle divided into four quarters, is the universal symbol of wholeness, of God in the world, and of the Self. Eliade also described the sacred geography with its axis mundi in similar terms.
Robert Graves identified, three, four and five aspects of the goddess, each corresponding to one of the three, four or five stations of the year. For example he referred to the Goddess “in her ancient quintuple person” in her “five-fold mask” of Birth, Initiation, Consummation, Repose, and Death or Mother, Maiden, Nymph/Bride, Crone/Hag, Layer-out/Slayer.
This following excerpt from Paul Reid-Bowen's Goddess as Nature: Towards a Philosophical Theaology says it best: “The model of the Triple Goddess is understood to have metaphysical significance because it is theologically understood to illuminate broader patterns occurring within the whole construed as nature. The Triple Goddess emphasizes not only changes, cycles and transitions in terms of a female life-pattern, but also with respect to cosmology and ecology (lunar and seasonal cycles) and existential and metaphysical processes and states (birth/emergency, growth/generation, decay/degeneration and rebirth/regeneration”
The three fold, Triple Goddess, symbolizes the female identity, as a dynamic whole with three aspects of a unity; in triad she expresses the unity of the Sacred Whole. The unity of nature is expressed in the cycle of Birth-Death-Rebirth. A cyclical recurrence within a unified whole.
The four fold, Quadruple Goddess, symbolizes the female identity, as a dynamic whole with four aspects of a unity; in tetrad she expresses the unity of the Sacred Whole. The unity of nature is expressed in the cycle of “birth-growth-decay-regeneration.”A cyclical recurrence within a unified whole.
A tri-unity refers to one being with three distinguishable “persons” or aspects. A tri-unity differs from a triad in that the whole of a tri-unity is greater than the sum of its parts. The best example of a tri-unity is the Christian “Trinity”:Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Graves’ Triple Goddess is another “Trinity” or tri-unity, the paradox of three goddesses in one and one goddess in three.
Another example is the Hindu Trimurti, the three aspects of the ultimate unknowable reality, Brahman –Brahma (creator), Vishnu (preserver), and Shiva (destroyer). While there are many examples of triads and triplicities in ancient art and myth, true tri-unities are rare. and I posit that KPR/ Kypri is the original tri-literal that represented the three aspects of the creative matter/spirit in One and AFRDT the same expressed as a pentagram the quintessential.
The best of the above regarding 1.618 I sourced from www.goldennumber.net. What was most amazing was the author's discovery that when one wants to type Phi on the computer, one can do it by holding the Alt key down and entering 1000 on the number pad. An "alt"ernate look at 1 with a trinity of 0's was registered on his site 3/15/2003.
The
number 5 can also be shown to represent the primeval harp.
Aphrodite Phi, the primeval harp and the sounding board are all associated.
In Sacred Geometry, Robert Lawler asserts: “Numerous studies document the ubiquity of the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Series, which describe the rhythmic laws of the gains and losses in the radiation of energy.” For example, Professor Amstutz of the Mineralogical Institute at the University of Heidelberg maintains: “Matter’s latticed waves are spaced at intervals corresponding to the frets on a harp or guitar with analogous sequences of overtones arising from each fundamental. The science of musical harmony is in these terms practically identical with the science of crystals.”
