Week Five----Symmetry and Sacred Geometry ...

My (a)symmetrical world ....While symmetries can certainly be found, I feel that the Universe is as asymmetrical as our human bodies. Symmetries, such as musical scores and visual graphics, are certainly pleasing to the senses---who has not reached some altered, some-kind-of-transcendent state of consciousness through engagement with such 'objects'? They can be quite calming. Overall, I think that we subscribe deep meaning to symmetries. For example, cultural symbols, such as those of religious groups or nations, are iconographic and memorable, imbued with all kinds of passion---true fervor. On an everyday level, we look for symmetry in relationships, whether it be the relationship of 'cause-and-effect', or our relationships with loved ones. Most wondrous to me are the symmetries found in nature, fractals fractals fractals! Romanesco in particular is a delight. (See: www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/potd/2006/02/brass...)
From a matter/anti-matter perspective, it seems to me that the Universe is unquantifiable---that there is simply too much change to be accounted for, that things come in-and-out-of-being in such an awesomely dynamic way that any attempts to sum the Universe up are a snapshot with no relevance to the newer Present moment ....everything has changed. Shifted. And shifted again. And again. But I would infer that the Universe is made up of more matter than anti-matter simply (or not so simply) because we experience ourselves as material beings ....but what puzzles me, is why physicists find this so puzzling?

Just what does this CP violation really mean? .....Well, my understanding of this is very elementary, but I think it means that the Universe as we know it is possible because of CP violation. Inotherwords, there is no symmetry between matter and anti-matter. If all particles, such as protons and electrons, were cancelled out by their symmetrical anti-particles, then the Big Bang would have been a chemical reaction resulting in equilibrium ....and no matter. And no life.

Are there connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics? ....Absolutely. In my view, physics is yet another way of attempting to understand the Sacred (but that which can not be understood, but better---felt.) There is something so indescribably harmonious about symmetry, proportions, patterns, etc .... To sit with a sacred, geometrical image---there is something so calming (yet ecstatic) about being on the precipise of it All. The very edge of a positive and negative cancelling each other out ....and becoming Whole.

Science and Religion are the particle and the anti-particle. A false duality.The great mysteries of the Universe---are we not all talking about the same thing?
