THE GOLDEN RATIO THE PERFECT EXAMPLE
- THE GOLDEN RATIO THE PERFECT EXAMPLE
Η Golden Section opens a simple, but a step of enormous importance. While we are talking about dividing a straight line segment into two unequal parts, we are actually looking for the solution to the problem of harmonious composition of two parts into a whole, that is, to connect three sizes (hence number) with a fixed ratio! Essentially, with the ratio of the golden mean, we harmoniously compose three sizes, namely the two parts and the whole. The beginning of orderliness of disorderThe number three is the threshold of the pleyou will. We connect them with a fixed reason. Here lies and magical power of the golden ratio! The golden ratio is a division, but essentially it has the potential for harmonious composition. That is, it constitutes a fitting, arrangement, connection .
The properties of the golden ratio cause a constant surprise with wonderful results:
- It's made of irrational number. The most irrational of all irrational numbers. That is 1,618339887 49894….Following more than …six million decimal digits! It is no coincidence that our world has as its initial and basic structural relationship the divine golden ratio!
- It constitutes a metrical proportion, so that man can read and understand the order of an isometric immensity of the Cosmos, which surrounds him. The parts are clearly distinguished in the role that belongs to them but at the same time it is maintained the harmonious composition of the whole.
- All forms created with the golden ratio have been made with the minimum possible "material", but they have the best result, in terms of solidity and performance.
- The harmonious connection of the parts with the whole contributes to the enhancement of the properties of the parts, thusAn energetic fullness is created and new characteristics emerge.
- A is created isometric homogenization. The most effective ratio self-similarity, that is, the repetition of a constant symmetry at all scales.
In conclusion: The ultimate purpose of the golden ratio is the division into harmonious parts, which together constitute the unity. Namely, unifies parts and whole, like no other proportion.
The "golden composition" is a composition needas for non-rational beings. For man is the synthesis of harmony to achieve higher than individual goals and purposes. It is the most perfect composition, where no element can be removed, without disturbing the whole, to some extent. A perfect plan is one where each member has its appropriate place and from the holistic harmony new properties emerge. Thus from micro-particles and atoms molecules and organic compositions are synthesized, self-organizing in various forms and with various properties. The miracle of life emerges from the synthesis, when infinite components and suitable conditions come together. The miracle of consciousness, that is, the human being emerges from the most complete harmonious composition of nature, which is the human being. brain.
The mathematical and geometric properties of the golden ratio are amazing, but it would never have played such a large role in human life if it had not been for much broader influencesOf course, its first consideration was aesthetics nature. The beauty recommends This makes it a perfect choice for people with diabetes and for those who want to lose weight or follow a balanced diet. incentive (motivation) for each thought and action. Man found beauty in the human body, in its proportions, as well as in nature as a whole. In plants, in shells and even in the sky in the galaxies. Titans of the spirit were busy interpreting what is magical about this proportion and why it is applied to this extent!
Is there any explanation for the phenomenon of the golden ratio? Countless approaches have been made. Man has a lasting interest in the magic of this simple geometric relationship. Its great contribution to the field of aesthetics, might have been enough to keep people interested. But it seems that its applications are of particular interest in terms of detecting reality, namely the approach of truth, as and practical (moral) utilityThe golden ratio, in short, can be used as a model for understanding the vast reality and mainly as a practice application. Harmonious compositions in the inanimate elements of nature are of great interest. However, the compositions in organic and living beings are also of immense interest.
Considering the amazing possibilities of the golden ratio, we could approach in a convincing way the enormous questions that concern man. Given that the individual capabilities of each person for thought, feeling and action are limited in nature, man will never be able to understand all the relationships that accompany everything simultaneously, harmoniously and dynamically, so as to grasp as a whole the World in which he has been placed and must live in the most pleasant, productive and beneficial way.
The golden ratio as a human discovery![who knows? !] is certainly not the golden key to all the answers to all the questions and problems. It can, however, be achieved through the development of other cognitive abilities, such as analysis and synthesis, the cultivation of sensitivity and the acquisition of moral virtues to contribute to the more harmonious development of the individual, the family, the Society, the Homeland and why not of all humanity. The Plato considers that continuous geometric proportion constitutes the deepest cosmic bond. Ο AristotleAs “the principles of matter are the great and the small, and of essence the one: from the union of the great with the small arise the species and numbers.
The golden ratio unifies parts and wholes, like no proportion. In chaos theory, the golden ratio rules at the limits of chaos., there order enters and emerges from disorder. It responds perfectly to the demand for simplicity and economy to diversity and complexity. It leads to what Aristotle called entelechyPerfection and ultimate purpose. Nature displays a magnificent holographic portrait, the smallest parts of which reflect the whole, the Cosmos itself. Structural self-similarity harmoniously connects an "implicit order" with the external "manifest order." In the universe, everything is enclosed by everything, and everything is enclosed in the universe" (David Bohm).
The golden ratio is now proving to be the Nature's instinctive selection, which is distributed with self-similarity in all parts, and sets in motion the process of holistic development. Socrates called « celestial design"which we can all discover and once we do, establish within ourselves. The asymmetrical dynamic energy of the golden ratio, manifesting as life, form, and consciousness, provides the driving force.
The goal of aesthetics is not for man to simply imitate Nature, but to observe her in depth, penetrating her complexity, to understand and apply the sacred reasons and analogies that she uses in the wonderfully simple, but divine order her! Christ replaced Apollo and Hermes, as God's mediator. His presence in all things and actions, in His divine analogy here on Earth and in Nature itself. Clement of Alexandria recognized in Christianity the "New Song", the sacred wine of the Word, which now occupied a new vessel"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word." (Gospel of John). The only reason that is both one and plus one (he and himself) is the golden ratio, section!
The conscience, This great unknown of science is likely to lie in geometry, in the golden proportions of DNA, which echoes F. From the division of a straight line segment to the essence of consciousness there is always the golden mean hidden, the greatest secret of nature. The simplest but most prominent asymmetrical cut, which perpetuates throughout the world at all levels and couples endless diversity with ordered proportional symmetry, unifying the parts and the whole from the largest to the smallest and back again, in a well-organized harmony of form.
We discovered a priceless pearl! The precious gem that transforms fundamental knowledge into gold Sophia. Every time we pick up a flower in nature, admire a painting, listen to a melody of music, even pick up a credit card... we are certain that our world is constructed with the greatest secret of nature, the golden ratio. Every member of ourselves, visible and invisible, even that of our most perfect organ, our brain, but also beyond to the right thinking us but also of beautiful feelings ours, as well as theirs good deeds we are defined within the framework of divine analogy. Then, maybe we will feel that the golden ratio is intertwined with our very existence. A harmony that is attributed to the golden ratio resonates holistically within us. We resonate and harmonize with successively broader stages of self-awareness and self-development on our path back to One. God.
We believe that it is the duty of all of us to reconnect and assimilate the code of Nature, which beautifies the world and our relationships (values) with graceful forms and golden standards. As Nature does incessantly and relentlessly, our duty is to transmute our World (humanity) by transforming it into the heavenly condition of beauty and peaceful coexistence.
Harmonious coexistence with the asymmetrical golden ratio. It is not only related to the truth, reality of the development of our World, but also with the nice and its Good. All virtues are found in golden mean between the extremities. The concept of moderation as a golden mean by Aristotle for every virtue, between an excess and a deficiency (minimum). Courage between cowardice and recklessness. (Continued in the next)
