LEONARDO DA VINCI
Born 15th April 1452 Died 2nd May 1519 (aged
67)
Da Vinci observed that if the proportions of the human form
create a perfect circle or a perfect square.
The human body like most natural things
is SYMETRICAL down the Y-AXIS
but it is also has OPPOSITES accross the X-AXIS
Consider the way your arms and legs bend in opposite ways
therefore your feet are the opposite of your hands,
your legs are the opposite of your arms
Da Vinci, understood the DESIGN and proprtions of nature and by observing
and studying nature he was able to design hundreds of inventions that
were way ahead of their time, such as the handglider, the parachutes
and the helicopter.
He also understood that humans were al both Male and Female and the
enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa (his most famous painting)
is in fact a SELF PORTRAIT of Da Vinci as a woman. Our bodies are mirror
images of themselves and men and women are reflections of each other.
Men are angular women are curvy, opposite beings which both contain
male 'reason' and female 'emotion' minds.
Many of his discoveries were highly controvertial and a large volume of
his notebooks have been destroyed.
And most of the surviving notebooks are owned by the Queen.
Da Vinci was able to command both halves
of his mind simultaniously and could write and draw at the same time.
It is no coincidence that he wrote in mirrored writing (some say it
was to disguise his controvertial discoveries but these could be easily
read in a mirror)
It is more likely that he naturally wrote in reverse with one hand
whilst drawing with the other.
THE GOLDEN MEAN
is the fomula for the natural growth and design
It is what happens when something straight is added to something round
and creates a spiral, such as snail shells, chameleon tails, the universe
etc...
The formula was discovered by FIBONACCI and can be found in almost every
natural form.
phi = 1.6180339887499
0 + 1 +1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 + 13 + 21, 34, 55.89.144 etc
to infinity...
It is the formula of nature, from the proportions of your body, your
finger bones to how plants grow.
The balance, proportions and dimensions of natural forms including the
human face,
pre-determine or idea of beauty or ugliness. The DEVINE and the GROTESQUE
The proportions of the GOLDEN MEAN have also been used in many man-made
objects
The Arc of the Covenant, Noah's Ark, Notre Dame Cathedral to name a
few
and the formula is repeated throughout the BIBLE.
