The proportions of the human body – just like the positioning of the planets and theorganization of spiral nebulae – are built upon the Phi ratio. The distance between the first joint and thewhole finger is phi, as is the finger to the hand, and so forth throughout the entire body.In the sunflower, we see sacred geometry describing the structure of the flower. We can see thegrowth from the meeting place of two sets of spirals, one moving clockwise and one counter-clockwise.These are Golden Mean spirals. These spirals construct the pattern of the flower, as well as DNA,nebulae, and the metaphysical geometry of human consciousness. Later we will see the physics of howwe function as a bridge between heaven and earth, which recapitulates the same dynamics. Mitosis andmeiosis, the very process of the act of life, accomplishes its purpose through the interaction of thesesame forces. This growth occurs in the ratio of the Golden Mean.Just as the angular rotation of spirals generates the pattern of the flower, these spirals have acorollary in the Merkaba spirals that function as the metaphysical communication within form. As wewill explore later, the Merkaba appears symbolically as two interlaced triangles (as in the Star of David),and geometrically as two interlaced tetrahedrons. When we make mandalas, we engage the angularrelationship of the Golden Mean generating form through interacting spirals – just as nature generatesflowers. Through archetypal psychology, we learn to take hold of the invisible, make it visible, and usethat to transform our lives.30
