The Beautiful Geometry of Metaphysics - A View from Within
I subscribe to the ancient worldview of the universe.
The universe is a love story. Love of beauty is the story behind why the universe exists at all as is the drama of feelings behind many great epics as well.
Before everything else, the reason why the universe is almost totally dark is because the focus is on the earth as centrestage for much of the drama to take place in the universe. It is for the sake of contrast that the universe is deliberate set up to appear dark.
Light and darkness are complementary pairs that are expressed as a result of cosmic structure, which is based on hyperbolic geometry.
I’m going to call it the metaphysical formulation of the universe. Understanding the beauty motivation behind the universe is a prerequisite to delving into it. Prayer is participation in the universe that traverses through every level.
I believed in a universe which comes from a single conscious source. Monism would suffice as a description of this point of view.
I believe in the universe theory which points out that the universe which arose out of consciousness which loves beauty. I believe that love of beauty is the raison d’etre of the universe.
There would be no universe without love of beauty. The universe is a beauty construct and results from the love of beauty. Love is subjective with beauty as its object. As such, the universe resides and stays within the realm of ideas - principles - and there is absolutely nothing which stands outside the realm of ideas, carried forward the ideas of the Eleatic School of Philosophy and ibn ‘Arabi's metaphysics of imagination.
There exist consciousness which must necessarily precede the construction of the universe which is comprised exclusively of lines, curved lines, that is, the logarithmic spiral to be more precise. The universe is a spatial construct. This is true not only from the subjective point of view but also from an objective point of view.
The realm of matter is a manifestation of space and therefore conforms to its “contours”, which are shaped in such a way that it appears beautiful to consciousness. The beauty imperative is expressed at every level great and small in the realm of manifestation which is the universe.
From the subjective point of view, which is also the divine point of view, the universe is the result of the blowings of God’s archangel (the Spirit). God sits on the throne and watches the drama as it unfolds before Him (used in a genderless sense). From the top or plan view, God sees nothing but the logarithmic spiral expressed at every level from the largest to the smallest. The logarithmic spiral is God’s conjugate.
God cherishes it and will not tolerate mischief and vandalism of His beautiful creation.
In reality, the universe is comprised of the breath of God’s archangel (the Spirit) and nothing else.
The blowings of the Spirit have two effects: (1) It produces beautiful fractal forms and (2) it produces waves which are beautiful. Self-similarity and scale invariance is a characteristic property of the universe at every level. This invariably means that human subjectivity was created with the intention of recognizing self-similar scale invariant structures in the universe.
The realm of manifestation affirms the monistic principle of the integral unity of beauty as evidenced by fractals and waves in the universe.
The blowings of the Spirit occur with no time lapse between each blow.
(1) fractal forms and (2) waves above is expressible in terms of yin-yang. Properly speaking, the yin-yang relationship is a vertical relationship, not a horizontal relationship.
At this juncture, let’s note that numerous natural phenomena that are manifestations of mathematical exponents. Manifestations of nature belong to the nonlinear mathematical principles. The plethora of realm of manifestations is a reflection of a single beautiful geometric principle as embodied in the fractal.
Why does natural phenomena follow exponential growth? Answer to this is because the source of all natural phenomena is supernatural, meaning divine. Why? Because the growth spiral appears beautiful to the divine. Why does the growth spiral appear beautiful to the divine? Because of its property of self-similarity. In other words, the universe is a reflection of Divine beauty. The universe is chock full of beautiful logarithmic spirals at every level, especially in the realm of the unseen (outer space being the largest chunk of it) which is why the realm of the visible is a reflection of the unseen. The logarithmic spiral is the stuff of space. And yes, the logarithmic spiral spins.
Imaginative schema: The above picture shows the plan view of the universe. It is a display of colors which is based on hyperbolic geometry. This is what the divine sees in the universe at some level.
The hyperboloid, which is a 3 d structure as shown above, is a projection of the logarithmic spiral.
Self-similarity exists at every level in the universe. There exist self-similarity in hyperbolic geometry, which is propitiously chosen to be the geometry of the universe.
The realm of matter is a mirage which reflects the vertical dimension horizontally.
The expression integrity in variety does not do justice to the intricacies involved in its construction.
The geometric principles used in construction of the universe is expressed herein:
As within, so without: Surah Fussilat - 53 - Quran.com and as above, so below: Surah Ar-Rahman - 6 - Quran.com
The Golden Ratio is the measure used phenomena which are manifested in the universe.
