universal truth

things that do not change, stuff that just is, universal truth:

  • six circles that have the same radius will fit perfectly around a seventh circle of the same size - try it with round coins of the same value, or matching wine glasses. on the two-dimensional plane, six around one is the way circles work

  • the three angles inside the corners of any triangle will add up to 180 degrees; a straight line. try this with scissors and paper:
    1. cut out a triangle (one snip per edge with a steady hand will give straight sides to start with, but the principle will still work if the sides are wobbly)
    2. tear off one of the corners.
    3. tear apart the other two corners. you now have three bits of paper, each with two cut edges and one ripped edge.
    4. arrange the three pieces so that cut edges are touching and the three original corners meet at a point. two of the cut edges will now have lined up to give a straight line.


that's just two things, but we are getting ahead of ourselves already.
first let us set the scene (and not be shy about it)

this is a quest to bring our consciousness closer to that of the divine.

if we can observe universal truth, and grapple more directly with the unveiled interactions, then maybe we can start to untangle some of the confusion that manifest creations puts before us.

in the next post we shall start by imagining that nothing yet exists in the cosmos, and then set about creation, step by step, as best we might comprehend a possibility of it...

geometer consciousness

hello, and welcome

when i started using the word geometer i did not know it was a 'real' word.
i began using it as a working title for an interface project based on sacred geometry.
as it happens, a geometer is "a mathematician whose area of study is geometry." [...]

a mathematician i am not, but geometry compels me.

there is nothing revolutionary about what i propose to present here, there is a wealth of material out there covering the same the stuff.
what this is is a documenting of the processes i am exploring, drawing circles and lines around and between points.

when i have spent days drawing simple shapes, constructing equilateral triangles from circles for example, i have become overtly conscious of the occurrence of these forms all around me.
but i'll stop there, and will try to rein in my rants about perceptual shifts henceforth, the focus shall remain on the geometry as it unfolds itself.

as i have hinted, this is a journey that began some time ago. To focus my thoughts i intend to start from scratch somewhat, and take it a step at a time...
