Pi in the Eye

So, I jumped of the writing train at Crestone, and forgot to say that one of the skulls told me a joke. I went to the center of the circle to take a picture of Jack, and out of curiousity, I leaned over and touched The Professor that is carried by Lionfire. In my mind flashed an image of Pi (π) inside an eye. I thought “Really! Pi in the Eye?” I knew it to be a compact thought form, but it was implied as a joke. Hold onto your seats, I am about to bring in some sacred geometry here. The vesica piscis is a shape that is the intersection of two circles with the same diameter. The center of each circle lies on the circumference of the other, so the shape of the intersection is the vesica – the shape of the eye. Also note here that the intersection points create equilateral triangles - which in 3D would be a pyramid.

Pi is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter. Pi is an irrational number which means that its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction having integers in both the numerator and denominator. Therefore, its decimal representation never ends and never repeats. Think about that, the number that is essential for calculating anything having to do with a circle and therefore sacred geometry, never ends and never repeats. A circle has no end and no beginning, and the center of a circle is, as Dr. Ibrahim Karim says,  “the gateway beyond space and time”.   
If you did an internet search for 'vesica', you might find some interesting stuff, like this picture of a dying star taken by the Hubble Telescope.

You could also watch some great youtube videos of this very excited man giving some lessons on sacred geometry - ideas about the vesica being the womb of creation...

You can even take a look at how the shape is formed by the procession of the equinoxes

We can go with the 3D expansion and look at this man's research on the sacred structure of the human body (this is amazing, by the way)   http://www.people.vcu.edu/~chenry/

You could start noticing vesicas in churches, synagogues, mosques, and all other kinds of spiritual centers. The original symbol of Christianity was the vesica piscis in the form of a fish.

So, one could go really deep into the possible meanings of this simple little picture that flashed into my mind - Pi in the Eye – or you could also think in simple terms – well maybe not too simple. Creation occurs with the intersection of 2. Our world has formed on the principles of duality.  Think of the tai ji symbol representing yin and yang. Up/down, in/out, day/night, right/wrong, masculine/feminine, etc. 

The intersection of 2 circles creates a third shape, so now we have 3, the balance. God- Holy Spirit-Christ,  Man-Woman-Child, Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, Strength-Wisdom-Innocence. The abbreviated numerical representation of Pi is 3.14. Three (3), but 3 as an infinite, never ending and never repeating number.  So since we are currently moving from duality toward unity, the next step is 3 and the step after that is All That Is. We have to take baby steps so we can make it all together.  If we look at the third element coming from our duality as Pi, instead of just a 3, it seems to me we would jump on the fast track toward grasping the never ending, never repeating nature of our beingness. Maybe we could grasp that these seemingly real lives we are living, amid the chaos, are but one picture frame of our infinity.


We are all talking about oneness, while still struggling within the confinements of our individuality and egos.  I have been on a 3 week road trip with kids in the back seat of a SUV wishing I had a roll up limo window and having to settle with ear plugs.  We have experienced some of the most beautiful places in our country and daily witnessed sunsets over mountains, mesas, and open plains. We have participated in ceremony with Mayan elders, hugged ancient redwoods, and even just sungazed and felt one with All That Is. But back in the car, I am a human, sometimes easy-going, sometimes irritable, sometimes excited,  sometimes tired.

I say all this to remind you not to be discouraged, to hold the vision we are all creating of love and oneness, and love the times that we are still living in duality because this is part of it too (for now).  I often feel like a snake shedding its skin, periodically getting rid of old parts and becoming like new again. We are growing and awakening, changing and becoming - more of who we truly are. So lets be kind to ourselves and each other.
Besides...If you are taking it all too seriously, I’ll throw a Pi in your Eye.

More to come... I have been in places without internet, and in the car - alot! Wait until you hear about the event in LA!
