Sacred Geometry and Physics

Based on the article, “A Brief and Somewhat Curious View of Sacred Geometry” I would say yes, sacred geometry and physics do have a connection. In fact, the article states the connections are numerous. For example, the article states the structure of the mandala encompasses within it higher dimensional math explored by quantum physicists. Mandalas were used in meditation practice and was invented between the first and second millennium in southern and southeastern Asia. They are considered a major step in sacred geometry, they were important because they depicted abstract concepts of time and higher states of consciousness.
Also, the article points to the kabalistic Tree of Life. It’s ten “sephiroth” and on hidden sephiroth corresponds to the 11-dimensional universe postulated in string theory. It draws parallels between the kabalistic beliefs are about nature of spirit and body and the ideas of energy and matter in theory of relativity.
The I Ching’s 64 hexes correspond to the 64 codon structure of the human DNA. Mandalas, the I Ching and the Kabala are ancient and new scientific discoveries are lining up with them. I think these are pretty stunning coincidences.

8/8/18 Bionics: The development of a bionic person and it's use in the military

8/8/18 Supporting Bionics for Humans? My first feeling about this topic is that I would support the option of bionics for humans in need of limbs, in place of old prosthetic limbs that have previously existed. I have not had to worry about this personally for myself or any of my family members, but I imagine that for someone who does, advances in science in this field are really important for having a more functional, happy life. I had a childhood friend who didn’t need a prosthetic limb, but was disabled and needed braces from the waist down as a child to assist with walking. These things were heavy, stiff, ugly and just archaic! It sounds like newer developments are moving toward more sophisticated options that are more accessible for average people. The UK based tech company mentioned in our readings is using 3-D printing technology to create prosthetic limbs which are more affordable. This sounds like a good thing. Especially for a child, being mobile and being able to do t...

7/30/18 I know I am a living system because..... Wow! Crazy how things can become not so black and white when you begin to look into what is considered a living thing. According to NASA, all living things share a carbon based chemistry, depend on water, or leave behind a fossil with carbon or sulfur isotopes that point to a past metabolism. Scientists struggle to define "life." From what I have read so far, it seems like something could be considered living and have certain characteristics of life, while others may be "alive"  and have slightly different characteristics. Crystals are interesting. They can grow and respond to stimuli but lack a nervous system. I believe there are many different forms of life and we can see things as living that are not what we would expect. In a Native American perspective even rocks are infused with spirit, is that a living thing?
