During the Ptolemaic period in Egyptian history, Greek philosophers and mathematicians flocked into Egypt to grok the greatest wealth of knowledge on the planet. Plutarch... Pythagoras... Plato, and others documented this research and left us with volumes of information. The study of proportion is one small but significant area of their research. As one examines the temple structures in Egypt, it becomes increasingly obvious, and late research confirms [*R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz] that the temples were designed and built according to Phi proportion.
Leonardo da Vinci understood that Man [*Canon of Man] was intended in the proportion of Phi and indeed much of the natural world was Phi based. In the anatomy of Man, the spinal vertebrae are relative to each other in the Phi ratio. The Nautilus shell spirals in the Phi ratio. Plants and trees grow in the Phi ratio. The Earth and Moon have this same relationship. The sunflower is a wonderful example of the spiraling effect of Phi. Look at a pine cone and find the same relationship of Phi... in two directions at the same time.
"Man achieves the height of Wisdom when all that he does is as self evident as what Nature does" [*I Ching] This statement, written perhaps 4000 years ago, yields direction and insight to the research in Phi.
We know that Nature knows Phi. We also know that the ancient architects used Phi extensively in the temples. We believe that they knew exactly what they were doing and that the reason they were doing it was to set up a vibration in which Man could feel Phi and reflect the vibration. When one encounters the vibrations of the Egyptian Temples, there becomes a reflection which eludes description. This is the Vibration of Symbol. It is similar to the reflection we receive when encountering an old growth forest. It can virtually be breathtaking without adequate description. This is the Symbol that Nature gives us for reflection. Symbol and Harmony define the Nature of Vibration.
