The Golden Mean is so significant that in various contexts, it has come to be called by manynames. Some of those names are Golden Section, Golden Cut, the Divine Proportion, the extreme andmean ratio, the perfect division, Phi, or the Greek Φ. The power is not in the number itself; rather it is inhow it formulates relationship. It is in the code the number represents. When we view it as a ratio of thesmall part to the large part, and of the large part to the whole, its cosmic meaning is revealed. Thepower and cosmic dimension of Phi becomes seen, in that, though it is infinite, it is contained within thewhole. Each part is defined by the whole. Division is always contained in the whole, and defines eachpart by the whole. It is irrational unity. Thus, David Bohm’s quantum statement: all is limited by thewhole.Because of the universal code in all creation, we experience a transfer of information when oursmall part (us) is in accord with the large part (creation). As creation unfolds, the pattern of the creatoris replicated throughout allpermutations of the creation.Whatever we create is an iterativefractal formula of our archetypal andspiritual essence. This is the origin of“as above, so below,” “macro andmicrocosm,” “made in the image andlikeness,” and “if you have seen me,you have seen the father.” When we make mandalas, we create aniteration of our consciousness through self-similarity. God is the whole. Ego is the small part. Higher selfis the large part. When we do our part in relationship to our high self, God will do its part. The GoldenMean reveals the co-creative relationship.Duality is diversity outside the unity. The Golden Mean is a tertiary dynamic. As with the reins,we are connected and communicating. It is diversity within the unity. In this dynamic, unity divides itselfand remains undivided. The relationship of unity and diversity is triune. Duality teaches us contrast,discernment, choice, and cause and effect. It also holds keys to unity. The shadow side is that fromduality, we can create scientific, religious, political, social, and cultural realities that are disharmoniousto, or “outside” of, unity. Outside means a loss of nexus or kinship. The disharmonious acts like it isseparate, while it is actually contained in the holomovement. The Golden Mean represents a “grace-28
