"The Golden Ratio is a universal law,in which is contained the ground-principle of all formative striving for beauty and completeness in the realms of both nature and art, and which permeates, as a paramount spiritual ideal, all structures, forms and proportions, whether cosmic or individual, organic or inorganic, acoustic or optical; which finds its fullest realization, however, in the human form" ~Adolf Zeising

The Golden Ratio, or Divine Proportion, is the visual representation of a + b over a = a over b = Phi (1.61803…). In simpler terms, one might imagine a line divided in two pieces. The entirety of the line is to the larger section as the larger section is to the smaller section (this is known as the golden segment.)

The Divine Proportion has been attributed to everything around us, from art to nature to music to our bodies to space itself.

Examples of the Divine proportion are abundant. The cochlea in the inner ear, the skeletons of mammals, the veins in leaves, the Mona Lisa, the Great Pyramid of Giza, parrot’s beaks, snowflakes, spiral galaxies, the music of Beethoven, Mozart and Bach, and Greek architecture, ram’s horns and, of course, nautilus shells.

LOVE...

What Love Is... "When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully -- in the deeply spiritual sense, where to love is to know; to love is to act."

"If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of love."

"When you are aware that you are the very force that is Life, anything is possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those Miracles are performed by the Heart. The Heart is in direct communion with the Human Soul, and when the Heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your Heart opens another Heart, and true love is possible."~Don Miguel Ruiz

"Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other." ~ Euripides
