Geometry and no said birth record


"Has no said birth record"

"No beginning nor ending"

"Older than the sun, moon and stars"





In biology, the fundamental role of geometry and proportion becomes even more evident when we consider that moment by moment, year by year, aeon by aeon, every atom of every molecule of both living and inorganic substance is being changed and replaced. Everyone one of us within the next five to seven years will have a completely new boy, down to the very last atom. Amid this constancy of change, where can we find the basis for all that which appears to be consistent and stable? Biologically we may look to our ideas of genetic coding as the vehicle of replication and continuity, but this coding does not lie in the particular atoms (or carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen) of which the gene substance, DNA, is composed; these are all also subject to continual change and replacement. Thus the carrier of continuity is not only the molecular composition of the DNA, but also its helix form. This form is responsible for the replicating power of the DNA. The helix, which is a special type from the group of regular spirals, results from sets of fixed geometric proportions, as we shall see in detail later on. These proportions can be understood to exist a priori, without any material counterpart, as abstract, geometric relationships. the architecture of bodily existence is determined by an invisible, immaterial world of pure form and geometry.

(the above is from "Sacred Geometry" and don't take 'invisible' to mean some mystery porkshit)
