Synthesis: "As above, so below"

I wrote in my first blog entry in biochemistry about the concept of "as above, so below", a quote by the early philosopher Hermes.  After studying physics, I can say that by understanding chaos theory and fractals, I see how reducing something in nature down to its smallest parts shows the same patterns as when its a whole. It still remains to be proven how this happens on a macro scale in the universe in comparison to our Earth.  However, when it comes down to vibrations, we can see that all things, be it subatomic particles, cells, trees, buildings, humans, even whole planets all have them.  Is this a coincidence?  I don't think so, modern physics is proving what ancient philosophers have theorized for centuries.  I wrote a research paper 10 years ago on the use of cosmically tuned tuning forks to help treat ailments when applied to acupressure points.  The forks are tuned to the tones of the Sun's, Earth's, and Moon's vibrations.  There are other planetary forks as well, and recently, I was told that there is actually a "Jesus Hertz", lol.  Maybe this is why we, as humans, are so drawn to music?  It does seem to be the highest form of communication, transcending otherwise impenetrable barriers between people, religions, races.  The excerpt below will explain what I feel is the ultimate synthesis of vibratory states and is the concept of which the cosmic tuning forks are based upon:

From Wikipedia:

The Music of the Spheres incorporates the metaphysical principle that mathematical relationships express qualities or "tones" of energy which manifest in numbers, visual angles, shapes and sounds – all connected within a pattern of proportion. Pythagoras first identified that the pitch of a musical note is in proportion to the length of the string that produces it, and that intervals between harmonious sound frequencies form simple numerical ratios.[1] In a theory known as the Harmony of the Spheres, Pythagoras proposed that the Sun, Moon and planets all emit their own unique hum (orbital resonance) based on their orbital revolution,[2] and that the quality of life on Earth reflects the tenor of celestial sounds which are physically imperceptible to the human ear.[3] Subsequently, Plato described astronomy and music as "twinned" studies of sensual recognition: astronomy for the eyes, music for the ears, and both requiring knowledge of numerical proportions.[4]

Newton and Descartes

Newton's Laws and Me

Law of Inertia:  Depending on the task, it can take a lot of momentum for me to get started.  Once I start said task, it is difficult for me to stop until completion or I have another priority or fatigue wins.

Law of Acceleration:  Once an idea sparks my imagination, I want to actualize it.  The inspiration is the propelling force that drives me to see the idea become a reality.  The more inspired I am, the more driven I become, and as a result, the faster I make the idea a reality.

Law of Equal/Opposing Forces:  I don't have a direct example pertaining to my life, but for some reason I keep thinking of people slam dancing in mosh pits.

Descartes and Reductionism

Descartes' idea of reducing something to its parts to explain it reminds me of Western medicine.  Dividing a human being into systems or small parts to try to explain and heal a medical condition can be primitive.  Taking a step back and looking at the human being as a whole entity--body, mind, and spirit--is the way of Chinese medicine and I believe a much more effective way of healing.

Consciousness, chaos, and fractals

Yes, I'm familiar with the concept of "ordered chaos".

Life is undoubtedly chaotic.  There is always something to do, someone to see, a problem to work out, a job to go to, futures to plan, pasts to reconcile.  Vacillating between doing too much and not enough.  Pressure...need to meditate more, eat less sugar, exercise more, find a partner, get married, have kids, travel, achieve, grow, actualize, create, don't forget to eat, sleep, do laundry, pay the bills, request time off, study, call your mother, call your sister, don't forget to send a card to grandmother.  Time is ticking, you only have one life to live, you can sleep when you're dead.  Think about it too much and you might go insane.  Think about it too little and you might regret it.  I tend to create a kind of ordered chaos by organizing my thoughts (taking control of my mind, planning a time to think about something rather than dwelling on it) and my schedule.  But what happens when I let go of my system and give the reigns to chaos?  I still do what I need to do, I just do less.  This isn't always desirable, but it does remind me that mostly, the chaos is in my brain, not my life. ;-)

Fractals

Fractals are defined as "geometrical shapes whose structure is such that magnification by a given factor reproduces the original object."  Reduce a snowflake to its smallest part and it still looks like a snowflake.   If this is the case, maybe we are the bacteria that inhabit the earth, much like bacteria populate out bodies.  And Earth is a system, maybe a cell in our solar system, and our solar system is an organ in our galaxy, our galaxy is a system, a collection of galaxies makes up our universe--one giant (to us) organism...which is maybe just one small organism in a super-world of other universe-organisms.  Maybe our universe is just the bacteria in another organism?

misbehaving particles; sacred geometry + physics

Just what does this CP Violation really mean?  

Well, it means that in the realm of matter vs. antimatter, particles do not maintain symmetry as physicists would expect.  At this point they don't know why.

How are Sacred Geometry and Physics related?

It all comes down to numbers.

Mathematics is the rhythm that forms the bass line of the universe.  The word 'physics' is Ancient Greek and means "knowledge of nature".  Now we know it to be, in a general sense, an in-depth analysis of nature in an effort to understand our cosmic origins and principles.  Sacred geometry has been found in several ancient civilizations as the first depiction of a higher consciousness through shapes and diagrams arranged in a systematic way to offer spiritual guidance through mathematical principles.  The I-Ching's 64 hexes correspond to the 64 codon structure of human DNA (discovered a few thousand years later!).  Albert Einstein developed a higher dimensional math that was later found to correlate to the math underlying the structures of mandalas used in ancient Hinduism/Buddhism. 

It's fascinating that Pythagoras, Leonardo da Vinci, Fibonacci and the like all had a detailed sense of the mathematics of the universe, the physics of sacred geometry.  And after the advent of the computer, Benoit Mandelbroit was finally able to  take complex calculations found in nature and create a theory around 'fractals', which later became the basis for chaos theory, the study of the relationship between math, life, and time.
