at a low rate will be a perfectly square cross. When you have a circle with a square cross over it, you take the radius of the circle as your measuring stick and call it 1 (that makes the calculations very easy). Drawing concentric circles the same distance outward from that first radius gives you a polar graph.
Spirals on a Polar Graph
This is how a polar graph usually looks [Fig. 8-22], with 36 radial lines including the vertical and horizontal lines. These lines indicate 360 degrees in 10-degree increments. Then concentric circles are drawn, each one the same distance as the one before, creating eight equal demarcations along each radius, counting the inside circle as one. There’s a great deal of reasoning behind a polar graph. Think first about what it represents. It is a two-dimensional drawing that attempts to show a three-dimensional sphere, one of the sacred forms, by projecting it onto a flat surface. It is the shadow form. Casting shadows is one of the sacred ways of obtaining information. Also, a polar graph has both straight lines (male) and circular lines (female) superimposed over each other—both male and female energies at once. Think of the small central circle as a planet in space. From the surface of the planet, the author of the math book plotted a Golden Mean spiral— not Fibonacci, but Golden Mean. It starts at the zero radius on the circumference of the little “planet” in the center, and it is plotted one time around, from zero to 360°, or back to zero [Fig. 8-23]. Now, to figure out the value of any point, you would use the middle circle as a value of one (since it represents the distance from the center to the first circle, which we are calling the “planet”), then count outward to wherever the spiral crosses a radius. Thus on the radius at 260° (between the fourth and fifth rings) you would have counted outward to roughly 4.5. (Of course, on a computer you could be more accurate.) On the radial line at 210°, the spiral would have reached about 3.3. Does everybody understand that? Now, look what happens to the actual data from zero to 360°. At zero degrees the spiral is exactly one circle (radial increment) away from center, because it’s on the surface of that little sphere or planet. Then it goes around through different changes until it gets to 120°, where the spiral crosses the second circle. The spiral continues outward to the fourth circle, exactly where the 240° radial line sits. And it reaches the eighth (outer) circle precisely at the 360° (also 0°) radius. The radial increments have doubled (a binary sequence of 1, 2,4,8) at exactly 0°. 120°, 240° and 360°.
