Mandalas bring the intuition and logic, the right and left-brain hemispheres, into balance. By focusing on the center point of the mandala below, you shut the analytical/logic side of the brain up for a minute and give the right-brain a chance to dominate. When the right brain dominates, your creativity flows, and you act more off your intuition. |

I loled hard at that! |

Music is a great example of using both hemispheres in balance. If you don't know music theory and haven't developed technique, you won't be a good musician. On the other hand, if you know all the technique and theory but dont use your right hemisphere your music will have no 'soul'. The voice is the most intuitive of all the instruments so it makes sense logically (left hemisphere) that it uses the right hemisphere the most! |

Cusp, seeing as to how your truest, deepest, most peaceful self recognizes the pattern of sacred geometry, it does make sense to me now that sigils would work faster and more efficient if they were constructed using sacred geometry. But I'm not sure HOW to create a drawing using sacred geometry. I think it has something to do with radial symmetry? |

That makes more sense. Sacred geometry has a solid physical structure that satisfies the Left brain, yet it also possesses an artistic Right brained quality, especially when applied to something like a mandala. |

yea that makes sense. |

But the big question is, do the different shapes have particular properties? What if you accidentally use a shape that is antithetical to your goals? |

The only thing I can think of is that the platonic solids are perfect in symmetry. Right? |

No idea, but it looks cool. |

Amazing how all the elements fit neatly into a circle like that. Almost like they were designed that way. |
|
Yes, they're just the easiest form for matter to take. Like water droplets and planets and suns always forming into spereoids. |

I was browsing in half price books the other day, and picked up a deck of sacred geometry cards. They were dirt cheap and I thought they were pretty |

If sacred geometry mandala art makes an impression on the subconscious ( which it does, subconscious is simply the right brain ) |

Nice pic.. Pretty cool isn't it how the chemical elements can be logically arranged into a mathematical spiral of octaves... check this out http://www.superliminal.com/pfractal.htm |

While you are right, I think music is best played with ONLY the right-hemisphere of the brain. Playing straight from the "soul". |

I beg to differ. I believe you need the knowledge of how and why it works, It is like the difference between drawing a circle freehand and using a compass. But you need the right brain as well. Also, the theory helps you know how to express what you are feeling intuitively and therefore helps you develop deeper insights into music and producing deeper shades of emotional resonance. And by music theory I don't mean being able to read sheet music. I can't read sheet music that well but it is by understanding scales and intervals and how they interact harmonically. For example, different cultures may use different scales to get different sounds, or they may use the same scales but use them in different contexts and harmonic variations. I was listening to some North Indian Classical Music that was a raga in a minor pentatonic scale but it sounded Indian, not like the blues. |

WOW. Thank you for that post. I focused on that image while listening to the Rain Song by Led Zeppelin. It was almost like how I was experiencing my third eye while on psilocybin, just with less control and intensity. During certain moments of the song, the light surrounding the image would get dim, while other moments would produce a bright hue around it. Thanks for that experience. |

Very interesting thread. |

So I had my first OBE the other day... I was completely beside myself!
