Sacred Geometry of a Gratitude Ball

Let's take a look at the St Ives Bay Gratitude Ball as an example.  We'll look at this one because I already used it as an example for the Energy Template...

As I said, in creating the template I am taking the ENERGY OF THE MOMENT and encoding it through the portal of PHI, which can be understood better visually through the the Fibonacci sequence.

This all happened spontaneously, without any planning.  I clear my mind of all thought to allow the painting to take place.  Thinking equals wobbling.

Let's begin simply with the Golden Ratio itself.  Its proportions appear here immediately in this picture as the positioning for the 2 of the three primary circle.  The first, shown above, is a near perfect expression of PHI, not only in its position, but also its size.

The Golden Ratio also positions the largest of the circles on this Gratitude Ball.  Indeed, it is expressed throughout its form, in what is beginning to look like a spiral...

The Fibonacci spiral can be found in the primary motif in this picture.

Moving in the opposite direction is a second Fibonacci spiral, focused upon the same circle.

  These spirals, it turns out, are offset by 108 degrees.

108 degrees, it turns out, is the internal angle of the pentagon.  It is regarded as the most sacred of all numbers.  Indeed, within sacred geometry, the pentagon is regarded as THE SHAPE OF LIFE (which is why the inverted form of a pentagon is used as a dark side symbol - it represents the opposite of life).  Since the dark side is so prevalent in modern culture, many people instinctively associate the pentagon with darkness, but this is not backed up by sacred geometry.  God produced the pentagon, in a act of formidable genius, the like of which nobody has since been able to compete with.  The best the dark side could manage was to turn this brilliance upside down, an act almost as lacking in genius as that first creation by God.  The genius of the pentagon is a topic for a full discussion!

Not only did God create the pentagon, but he created the Golden Proportion, which is contained within the pentagon, as we will see.  And the Golden Proportion, as Leonardo da Vinci so succinctly expressed in his Vitruvian Man is the foundation of all life.

The primary motif, created by the two intersecting Fibonacci spirals, is symmetrically contained within the highlighted triangle of the pentagon.

From the primary motif a Golden Gnomon intersects the other 2 main circles, extending the symmetry, which is further balanced by two side circles.

"If it's symmetrical, it's not a Love Ball"
Sam

Sam exclaimed this to me one day!  And he was right.  His insight was critical and of great value to me.  The Love Ball, like us, is not symmetrical.  And in that lies its essence.  Perhaps it is the same with love itself.  It is not formulaic, can't be militarized and one love does not fit all.  It is alive and personal.  Rather like us.

Which brings us to the asymmetry...

And the order of three.

Forming an equilateral triangle...

And opposed by a second triangle composed of the 3 main circles... 3 + 3 = ?

A hexagon!  Bringing us back to symmetry.  Which makes sense, since the Gratitude Ball is an expression of dynamic opposition in a state of equilibrium.

There are many more sacred patterns hidden within this Gratitude Ball, I've simply picked out some of the more obvious ones!

And so we come full circle!  Returning to the Gratitude Ball in its full glory, as the hidden geometry falls away.  But now - for those with eyes to see - a beautiful second layer of existence is revealed, a substructure of sacred number and geometry.

To incorporate all this into the Gratitude Ball would be impossible for me working alone.  Fortunately, these pictures are not created by me alone.  My technical skills are required, but the spark and wisdom comes from the highest source of all.  My main job is to get myself out the way, to channel the love that is coming in!

The power of the Gratitude Ball as both a work of art and an energy template lies, I think, in the extraordinary sacred geometry at the heart of each of these sacred pictures.

What brings it all to life for me, however, is the music which Rebecca composes with all this in mind!  And what is music, if not sacred geometry to the ears?  We hope you will enjoy the finished film...

Here is the entire creation film with Rebecca's harp music composed for the day
