Was First Revealed To Us Through Dreams
I once sat down to write a lecture about how the equations of quantum physics graphed out corresponded to ancient designs, but it came out as a visionary performance poem.

Sacred Geometry, you see, is a bit of a redundancy.
Mathematics, the language of the universe, held sacred from its discovery.
The holy parabolas, ethereal arcs, celestial sine waves, and assorted sundry sanctified shapes
that comprise the entire Euclidean catechism
are prayers to
—- that which is—–.
Pythagoras the priest knew that it all was just one song—
the arc, the integer, the holy hedron, the baby, the frog, the mountain, the dog, and the shifting swirling dancing cosmos—
a series of sacred equations describing the whole of creation
the music of the rectangle
the poem that is a triangle
songs made of symbols were his prayers
a + b + c = 160 degrees
a x a plus b x b = c x c
All the Holy patterns of antiquity
The Celts The Maya The Rishis
All drew designs illustrating they divined
the principles of Chaos Theory
At least that’s what we call it– as if we were the very first to see
the constructions of infinity
A mandala— The Book of Kells
both demonstrate extremely well
their understanding
Twirling Whirls, loops and knots interweaving like a visual dactyl
Millennia before Mandelbrot ever fabricated a fractal
And The One Mantra that describes it all, like a clarion call
Similar patterns repeating on an infinite scale.
Similar patterns repeating on an infinite scale
Similar patterns repeating on an infinite scale
Like the snake eating its tail
or a labyrinth leading into itself
the infinity sign
was a design paradigm long before Escher’s salamanders ever escaped their paper prison,
before protons smashed together in a ring
electrons dancing around a nucleus, like a conch shell’s concave contours,
like a doll nestled inside a doll inside a doll inside a doll
an arc within an arc, a ring within a ring within a ring,
the inherent structure of everything
ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny
Say what?
I’ll explain
the development of a human is a repetition of evolution
we start as strands of protein floating in a sea
that fuse into a single cell
which divides, divides and deviates to form more complex creatures
we got gills for a while even a tail
OH LORD!!!
similar patterns repeating on an infinite scale
like a particle accelerator and a henge
like a neuron and a wire
like a cumulous cloud and a galaxy
like ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny
Not some silly homunculus
But something much more wondrous
We are the ultimate manifestation
of creation’s desire for self revelation
we are the acme of organic perception
our inventions continuing life’s unfolding direction
eternally expanding patterns of electricity
particles or waves
depending how you measure them
sparks of light ourselves we are
encased in the amber of matter
four proteins repeating in a double gyre
Carbon and Water Fused In Fire
