Mystics and Women of the Divine

Page 34

The Vitruvian man/woman depicts the human body as an analogy of the working of the universe, and our interrelatedness expressed through geometry. We will be looking for the connecting points. First of all we need to explain why Leonardo da Vinci added the square to the original vitruvian man, thus creating what is called da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. To obtain a proper starting point for the geometry of the human body we needed to make the circle the same area as the square and then move the circle to the base of the feet. The circle can represent the female and the square the male to join the dynamic (circle) with the static (square). This is squaring the circle for equality. When we square a circle (quadrature of the circle) we are trying to make the area of a circle equal to the area of a square. The reason we see the circle as dynamic and the square as static is because of the transitional number that is the circumference of the circle. Dynamics indicate movement and the irrational number that has no end of decimal places goes on forever so we can not make it exactly the same. From a representation of the vitruvian man drawn by Leonardo da Vinci we see that he used the square of the circle and placed it in the square. The circle is the woman and the square is the man, making them equal. Yet a true representation is about energy. We must now add more geometry to the circle that will explain the interconnectedness of the male and female energy. The hexagram shows the divine union of the male and female energy. The upper triangle is considered male and is referred to as the blade. The lower one is considered female and is referred to as the chalice. FEmale = Circle=Dynami Male-Square=Stati

The name Phi can also be pronounced as Fe. Phi is also the Golden Ratio so FEmale is the unfolding nature of God’s design, where matter & spirit meet
