	Golden spiral
		Whoever cultivates the golden mean, avoids both the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.
		The Golden Spiral structure represents two well known sacred geometry shapes: the golden mean (phi) spiral and the Fibonacci spiral.
		The other method of determining the Golden Section is by dividing a line segment, AB, at a point C, in such a way that the whole line is longer than the first part in the same proportion as the first part being longer than the remainder.

	A History of the Golden Mean / Section / Ratio, Divine Proportion and Phi
		While the proportion known as the Golden Mean has always existed in mathematics and in the physical universe, it is unknown exactly when it was first discovered and applied by mankind.
		This later gave rise to the use of the term mean in the golden mean.
		The description of this proportion as Golden and Divine is fitting perhaps because it is seen by many to open the door to a deeper understanding of beauty and spirituality in life.

	The Golden Ratio
		What I had not counted on was how dependent on math the Golden Mean really is. I had no idea that I was in store for a tour through a number of complex and fascinating math concepts that all contributed to what, on the surface, appeared to be a simple idea.
		In fact, the Golden Ratio is so plentiful in nature that we unknowingly see examples of it around us everyday but before one can understand what the Golden Mean is, it is necessary to understand mathematical concepts such as the Fibonacci Sequence, Phi, and their relationship to our perception of beauty.
		The Golden Rectangle is created by dividing a line or segment into extreme and mean ratio with the length of the sides being equal to the mean length.

		The Golden Mean (aka Golden Section or Golden Ratio) is an ancient and uncanny ratio that has brought us the Parthenon, the pyramids, and the Mona Lisa, and which continues to confound with its inexplicable aesthetic appeal.
		The Golden Mean is a ratio that underlies numerous growth patterns throughout nature - from the spiral of a Nautilus shell to the petals of a sunflower, it has an uncanny way of showing up in all manner of things we tend to deem beautiful.
		The ratio formed -1:1.618- is the Golden Mean - the ratio of BC to AB is the same as AB to AC.

	Golden Section
		The Golden Mean is a ratio that is present in the growth patterns of many things--the spiral formed by a shell or the curve of a fern, for example.
		The Golden Mean or Golden Section was derived by the ancient Greeks.
		The beauty of the golden section may be indicated by the fact that a golden section rectangle subdivides into a square and another, smaller golden section rectangle.

	Storm's Nest - The Golden Logos
		The Golden Mean rectangle may be increased or decreased by the addition of a square, which is symbolic in sacred geometry of the creation.
		KC: It is true: the basic idea of a 'mean,' just the concept of a 'mean,' upon which Aristotle built the whole of his theory of the soul's perception, was that it is a particular point of balance between two extremes and threefore it has to be trinitarian.
		You have to have two extremes for there to be a mean, but the mean unifies those two and, as you were saying to yourself, the whole point about the Trinity is the quality of threeness which is in itself a single thing.

	Excerpts from The Golden Mean Book and Calipher Set
		Awareness of the Golden Mean's significance has been instrumental in the acceleration of culture throughout history and is now contributing to the emergence of a spiritual renaissance art movement.
		Golden Mean calipers were first used by Renaissance artists to determine the most harmonic proportions for their compositions in stone and on canvas.
		The Golden Mean (in the form of a spiral nautilus shell) can act as a symbol of the spiritual renaissance art movement because it simultaneously expresses the value of universal unity and the goal of a new culture based on beauty, truth and goodness.

	Session 9, Part C: Fibonacci Numbers
		A golden rectangle has the property that a square constructed on its longer side will make a new configuration that is also a golden rectangle -- one that is similar to the first in that its sides have the same ratio as the original rectangle.
		The ratio of the sides of a golden rectangle is ø, the golden mean.
		The two golden rectangles have the same shape (they are similar), so their sides will have the same ratios.

	The Golden Mean/Rectangle
		he Golden Rectangle is a rectangle that is based upon the Golden Mean, which is a number that is represented by the Greek Letter phi (F) or represented decimally 1.6180339887499 etc. The dimensions of a Golden Rectangle are 1.618, therefore a rectangle made using the Golden Mean for example be 13 feet by 8 feet.
		The reason why the Golden Mean was used for architecture was that the ratio was very easy to reproduce accurately without using highly technical methods of calculation due to the fact the Golden Mean ratios all differ from the number representing the Golden Mean by less than 0.003.
		After the fall of Rome, knowledge of the Golden Mean was lost until the Renaissance, when many Italian painters rediscovered the ratio, using it to create perspective in their paintings, to construct buildings and decorate rooms.

	Notes on Logarithmic and Golden Mean Spirals
		The Golden Mean is an important proportion – and that suggested that we should examine the Golden Mean spiral, which exhibits some properties of the Golden Mean proportion, as a candidate spiral component for our vortex sculpture.
		But the Golden Mean spiral (shown above, upper left) and the Golden Mean pseudo-spiral (which looks almost the same, but is a geometric approximation and not a true algebraic spiral), like all logarithmic spirals, is self-similar.
		This is because we are attempting to model the contrast between symmetry and asymmetry, with symmetry represented by a tetrahedron and asymmetry represented by a spiral vortex.

		The Golden Section is the only way to divide a segment so that the ratio of the large segment (Red here) over the small (Gold) is the same as the ratio of the whole segment (Whole) over the large (Red).

	Golden Ratio
		The Golden Section, or Golden Ratio, divides a line at a point such that the smaller part relates to the greater as the greater relates to the whole: the ratio of the lengths of the two sides is equal to the ratio of the longer side to the sum of the two sides.
		Up until Paciola’s time, the Golden Ratio had been known as "extreme and mean ratio" or "proportion having a mean and two extremes" and the concept appears to have only been known to mathematicians.
		The appearance of the golden ratio or fibonacci sequences in nature—the rotation of branches on flower stems, the rows of scales on a pineapple, the florets in sunflowers—is not a constant law of nature but a prevalent tendency.

	Critics of the Golden Mean
		Many of the opponents of the golden mean conceive of it as an attempt to idealize the average, the commonplace, the dull.
		But this does not mean the Aristotelian process of "practical wisdom" and its resultant golden mean is wrong; it means that men are not adhering to its requisites properly.
		It means that stupid, greedy, power lusting men have come to rule the states, the churches, and the cultures of society, and in the process have strayed away from the virtuous mean.

	The Golden Proportion
		This proportion is called: "golden section", "golden ratio", "golden number" and "golden mean".
		Moreover, the Pythagoreans apparently knew about the golden section around 500 B.C. The oldest examples of this principle, however, appear in nature's proportions, including the morphology of pine cones and starfish.
		This later gave rise to the name golden mean, golden ratio and even the divine proportion.

	Flower of Life - The Golden Mean Spiral and The Merkaba - Article by Ronald L. Holt -
		Although the Golden Mean Spiral is principally derived by utilizing mathematics, it is equally mystifying and intriguing to note that this mathematical spiral has additional properties that can be experienced by humans on a profound level that does not require an intellectual understanding of the mathematical principles.
		Up until now, in depth material about the significance of the Golden Mean Spiral and how it relates to the merkaba hasn’t been deeply explored even though their interdependence is intricately entwined.
		In order to simplify the initial steps to understanding how interlocked and interdependent the golden mean and the merkaba are, we need to have a general understanding and overview of several models that serve as building blocks.
