"At the mathematical level of the geometrical patterns of the Fibonacci series that we observe when cells come together, we see Plato's 'intelligible realm'. The math, not simply the meat, brings us to the threshold of another domain, an ontological realm in which principles of self-organization from noise allow new modes of being to emerge. The coordinated cells begin to become overlaid by mathematical patterns, states of being whose form of 'incarnation' is not meat but math."

COVENANT OF THE HEART, MEDITATIONS OF A CHRISTIAN HERMETICIST ON THE MYSTERIES OF TRADITION
Valentin Tomberg
The power of these meditations is that they reflect the author's personal spiritual journey into the depths of God's kingdom within...within the soul, within personal relations, within nature, within the cosmos.

"Just as the plurality of the human soul's life of imagination, feeling, and will has a focus, a center, around which it orders and orientates itself, so also does the multiplicity of the appearances of the world have ONE center, which orders and holds everything together."
|
|
| 9 |
"Justice represents the crown of Man's moral development – what might be called 'wisdom become flesh'."
|
|
| 10 |

"The decade (10 Sephiroth) of existence out of nothing has its end linked to its beginning and its beginning linked to its end, just as the flame is wedded to the live coal; because the Lord is one and there is not a second one." The Sepher Yetzirah, the Book of Creation, L. H. Frank 1877, p. 16
