ANCIENT SYMBOL IS PHI SPIRAL

This symbol represents the concept of Creation, Life, Death, Eternity. It is a symbol for the part of the Song of the Holy Trinity that is Sung (generally) by the Voice of Danann of Dunnottar.

More specifically, it is a PHI Spiral symbol and has been around since who even knows when. It is found in the earliest 'art' of humankind. Odd that, some may think, because we're only just now unveiling some of the mysteries connected to the science behind it.

The Spiral is literally ubiquitous - it is maybe the fundamental LAW that defines and maintains our entire world. A friend of mine uses the word 'fractals' and as it suits I'll try to explain it to you. A fractal is a small part of a bigger whole that, in and of itself, is identical to that bigger whole. At least that's the way I understand it. Keep that in the back of your mind.

It's become clear that everything in our world, the things we know and those we don't yet know, are all - ALL - comprised of Energy. Energy, which can be neither created nor destroyed, which 'definition' also just so happens to apply to God, the Creator, which may or may not be coincidence. Be that as it may be, Energy is eternal with no beginning and no end, and it is continually changing forms - from waves to particles and back again.

Then there's this phenomenon called entanglement. Einstein referred to it as 'spooky action at a distance' and wouldn't even 'go there'. Since his time people have 'gone there' and confirmed it. Entanglement is when two bits (electrons in the case of the experiments) of the same substance (e.g. the same atom) are separated by a distance, and even the minuscule amount of energy generated by the simple act of observing ONE of the electrons causes it to reverse its rotation, causes a simultaneous reversal of rotation in the OTHER one, although it is far away and not being observed (only electronically monitored). The two, having once been part of a larger whole, are permanently entangled. What affects one affects the other.

Going back to Energy for a moment, we know that it makes up Everything, including of course our little electrons that were snagged from the same atom. Over the course of Eternity past, present, and future, Energy has been, is, and will be Everything. Over the course of Eternity, the forms taken by Energy have absolutely NO limits to the ways they can combine, separate, recombine. Those two little electrons, their Energy, may well have been entangled from ANY part of Eternity, not necessarily just connected via the particular atom they were removed from for experimental purposes. Maybe at one time they were part of an atom in a cell of a mammoth, or a dinosaur, or a meteor, or anything else we can think of. In between they may have been Energy in wave form rather than particle form. We have no way of knowing, at least not yet.

Returning to fractals: every bit of the Energy in our world is a fractal of the all-encompassing design of the Spiral. That design is THE design of Everything. No matter how small we seek to discover, no matter how far we range into space ... the pattern simply repeats and repeats and repeats. Energy ALWAYS adheres to the perfect balance of the Spiral, no matter what, no matter when, no matter where. Everything is a fractal of the larger design pattern. Regardless of how different our perception of specific items are, they are bottom line identical, made up of Energy and adhering to the design of the Spiral - which we identify as Phi - 1.618... And the Spiral is made up of triangles, always, always, always. Which, again, brings us full circle, so to speak, back to God, the Holy Trinity, and to all of the more ancient belief systems that incorporated triangles into their teachings, the triangle frequently representing 'female'.

And we're only just now beginning to grasp the whole concept involved here.

How in the world does a symbol representing such complex (to us) concepts come to be so very ancient?

As for the line running through the center of the symbol, I reckon it's likely there for a good reason, probably to keep the whole thing in balance. I've made scores if not hundreds of spirals out of all kinds of stuff. Only recently have I begun trying to incorporate the 'Phi Line' into them, but I'm discovering that it is a stabilizing force that keeps the spiral from sproinging or unwinding. Ancient spirals abound around the globe, and that 'Phi Line' is present in many of them although not all.

Speculation continues as to the meanings or interpretations of the ancient symbols, and I think that a lot of them are probably 'right' even though they may not seem to agree with each other. Over the course of time, different 'meanings' may well have been ascribed to the same symbol, so that symbol may have been used in different ways. We flat don't know.

What we DO know is that they're ancient, and everywhere. Cultures all over the place, at different times, at the same times, with connections, without connections that anyone can identify ... so what is it about the Spiral, the PHI Spiral, that resonates and has resonated over a time span longer than we can wrap our heads around?

This symbol represents Mystery and at the same time the solving of all Mystery ... if we can only just unlock its secrets.

There Is No Such Thing As 'Godless'

Some say our nation has become Godless.

I want to know how anyone, most especially a Believer, can make any such assertion.

It’s the equivalent of an atheist scientist saying that energy does not exist.

No, you say, that’s not true, it’s nothing at all like what we’re trying to say.

How is it not the same?

In order for a Believer to make such a statement, said Believer is negating the most elementary fundamental core of their Faith.

There is not one – not one – particle of our world that is Godless.

There is not one – not one – particle of our world that is not energy.

Denying God does not make God less real.

Denying energy does not make energy less real.

What has no beginning and no end, can be neither created nor destroyed, is the Alpha and the Omega, is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent … ?

Some will answer ‘God’.

Some will answer ‘energy’.

Guess what.

Both are right.

So tell me what is the difference.

God is everywhere, in all things, at all times, knows all, guides all, rules all.

So is/does energy.

As our sciences figure things out, the interconnectedness of all things comes closer and closer to being proven with cold hard facts, people. Every new discovery carries us another step along the path of knowledge, and they’re all leading toward something that many (perhaps all, deep down) already know intuitively.

As the world in which we live in becomes more defined, more understood, that there is a method to its madness seems to become ever more clear.

Maybe it is true after all that things don’t ‘just happen’ at random.

Maybe there really is a guiding force at work, an underlying Law which we cannot alter, to which we are immutably bound body, mind, and spirit.

Whatever we choose to call it, be it God or PHI, it’s one and the same – and has been around for much longer than mankind has been around to label it, and will be around for much longer than we, as individuals and as a species, will be.

For Believers, the above statement is acknowledgement of God the Creator, Ruler of Heaven and Earth, validates the Power of Prayer, and holds the promise of life eternal. God is All. All is God. God set everything in motion and will continue to control its direction.

For others, it represents the constant movement of energy, the changing from one form to another of said energy in terms of its presence, usage, release, dispersal, storage, reformation, and re-use in yet another form, be it body, mind, or spirit. PHI is All. All is energy, PHI, the motion of all things and the Law by which all things abide.

Again, tell me the difference.

We are all on the same page here, whether we acknowledge it or not. Our labels are just different.

Me, I prefer to believe in God but have no reason to quarrel with those who might refer to His works by whatever label they choose.

Likewise, those who do not believe in God are in no way a threat to Him nor to those of us who do believe. That they can see and appreciate the intricacies of our world; that they actively seek and find the balance in all of it as they make their advances is to our benefit as well as to theirs.

It is truly a wonderment to me to realize that I am a part of such an amazing world, that the energy that is me belongs to that world and always will in one way or another, that it always has.

Sometimes I can’t help but feel oh so small and insignificant, and I am right to feel that way. Like a single atom of a cell of a single strand of my hair – so infinitely small that I myself am unaware of that individual atom – yet in a sense I am aware because it is a part of me – just so, even more so, am I that atom in the immensity of our world. I can no more change the Will of God than a single atom of my body can change the course of my individual life; I can no more affect the unfolding of the Universe than I can control the behaviors of even one other soul on the face of our planet. I have only my own small life to live as I choose to live it, as best I can, for good or for ill. My choices contribute to the balance of the whole in only a very small way, too small for me to understand. Yet my choices are all I have.

Likewise, mankind cannot change the course of PHI, of the energy which is our world. It is inexorable. It cannot be altered in its course, certainly not by us. We as a species have only our own small life to live as we choose to live it, as best we can, for good or for ill. Our choices contribute to the balance of the whole in only a very small way, too small for us to understand. Yet our choices are all we have.

For good or for ill, I am all I have. For good or for ill, we are all we have.

If we are so small, so insignificant, what then is our purpose?

I don’t know.

None of us knows.

Yet that there is a reason for all things we know, each and all of us, in the hearts and the souls of us.

As we discover more and more about the interconnectedness of the world in which we live in, maybe we’ll come to understand the importance of our individual and united contributions to that connection. Perhaps we are more vital than we imagine to the keeping of the overall balance, for good or for ill.

Just in case, might it not behoove us to use our energies in support of the good, and harm none?

Remember how I likened myself to a single atom of a single cell of my own body? Think what happens when an infection sets in; perhaps beginning with one cell that infection can and will spread harm throughout the body.

Still, every particle is a part of All, for good or for ill. The energy may seem to morph itself into something harmful for a time; yet that same energy may at another time be part of a powerful good. Is that not largely how the saints of Christendom have come about?

Me, I don’t believe in saints. I believe in the good and the ill in people, and the balance that must be kept one way or another in the bigger picture.

And I believe that God, the Holy Trinity, is the Who part of the age-old quest to identify Who What When Where How and Why of every last thing mankind has ever encountered or will ever encounter.

For that matter, God is all of the other parts, too.

You see, science will more easily come to terms with the What When Where and How than it will comprehend the importance of Who and Why, although those are indeed the most important of the whole.

Getting back around to my original point here, there is no such thing as any part of our world being ‘Godless’.

We can say whatever we want; it’s our right. We cannot, however, expel God from any part of His Creation.

Not one particle of our world – not one – is without God. God Is. God is the life force of all, past, present, future. God is the energy stored in inert masses to be spent when its time comes. God is All of All.

Call it God’s Will or call it Fate or call it PHI – labels are utterly meaningless and so are disputes about them.

How can people not GET that?
