Phi relationships in the human body

lol, thanks orpheus.

I have always enjoyed this diagram from Lawlor's 'Sacred Geometry':

I will go back and read it all again.

Roger, the article you linked states, "There's this number known as phi. Yeah, although the term wasn't invented till the early 1900s, by American mathematician Mark Barr."

A profound example of Modern arrogance.

The phi relationship is found in forms and music (sound) as harmonic relationships and thousands of ancient temples and megaliths across the entire globe.

Relationships are challenging to see which our empirical bias does not easily tolerate.

The Gothic churches for example are sonic chambers designed in relation to sonic relationships.

The oldest example I know are Tibetan bells and Chinese gongs. These tones have been found to match what the Monroe institute discovered and called hemi-sync (binaural beats). One set I saw matched precisely to multiple decimal places the tone of the Milky Way galaxy as recorded by NASA and the bells were about 5,000 years old.

The question is when did human cultures forget about phi?

My guess was between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. It seems too that the Christian religion contributed to the suppression of this knowledge. Dan Brown's gig was the Italian Renaissance era.

Great link Orpheus,especially the horned beast called an argali...
Would love to add that skull to my collection for art related reference.

Comments Nick ?
Yes.
I would direct everyones attention to the disclaimer at the end of Nick's first link in regards to the writers distrust of BOTH Dan Winter and Drunvalo. I agree 100% with this writers assessment. My description is that they both have become entranced by the sound of their own voice.
"Seduced by the medium", as it were...
I am currently exploring and researching vortexes,both as Art and Scince,work begun by my father and continuing with me. We both shared a fascination with the spiral and used the shape in our sculptures for years . I am particularly interested in fluid vortexes and have been fascinated by one of Steiners pals called Viktor Schauberger,the "water wizard" . I believe implosion technology will be advanced significantly very soon. I am in a loose collaboration with Flowform USA in using basic premises of Shauberger's researches of water vortexes for remedial water treatment. Can anyone shed light on why a COUNTER CLOCKWISE spin would give better results for this process ? I have a strong intuition that there is a corollary that is important for a vast number of mechanical devices from wind turbines to electric motors that some dynamic advantage is gained by counter closkwise rotational movement though I cannot explain why...

nature is the kind of thing that doesn't have a one-track mind. many patterns exist so it's easy to see one everywhere once you're set on finding it. you just train your brain to recognize what you want to find, and there's usually no way to decidedly prove or disprove the pattern...

Just listen to a cats purr... its awsome.. and it has great healing properties for the mind.. this all comes to light now.
The earths core.. the vibrations.. our voices.. yup.. its all coming back to me. lol
