Leonardo said it best: “The outstretched arms and legs of a man form a square and a circle: the square symbolizes the solid physical world and the circle the spiritual and eternal. Man bridges the gap between these two worlds.”
-Leonardo Da Vinci, “The Magical Proportions of Man”
Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man (the Da Vinci Man with four arms and four legs in a square and circle), is the most popular secular symbol in the world. My 10 years of research suggests that the Vitruvian Man is a universal symbol for greater love, relationships, success, health and the new age 21st century paradigm of indivisible wholeness, the paradigm for world peace. A New Renaissance!
The Da Vinci Man is a universal translator between scientific models (represented by the Da Vinci Man in the square) and religious symbols (represented by the Da Vinci Man in the circle). Therefore, the Vitruvian Man (Da Vinci Man) is a bridge between science and religion. There are amazing similarities between the sacred geometry of the Da Vinci Man, Yin-Yang, Star of David, Tree of Life, Christian Cross, Angels and Kabbalah.
The story of the Da Vinci Man is the story of the circle, triangle and square; therefore, the real Da Vinci code is Sacred Geometry 101, the sacred geometry of creation.
In Sacred Geometry 101 we interpret things holistically, from both the spiritual and scientific point of view. This engages both the right (spiritual, intuitive) and left (material, analytical) hemispheres of the brain. This paints the whole picture. Leonardo Da Vinci fully engaged science and art (both hemispheres of the brain) in all of his work.
Leonardo was the foremost artist and scientist of his time; the ultimate Renaissance Man. This is why Leonardo can be considered the modern Father of Holism. The Da Vinci Man is the most popular secular symbol in the world because it contains the sacred geometry of the nested circle, triangle and square. This enlivens the harmony, balance, symmetry, synergy and flow of life within us.
A spiritual interpretation of creation is represented by the Da Vinci Man in the circle. A scientific interpretation of creation is represented by the Da Vinci Man in the square. Both interpretations are needed in order for society to make the transition from the age of reductionism and separation (of classical physics) to the new age of Indivisible Wholeness (The New Physics).
The Circle
The two cojoined forms of the Da Vinci Man are enclosed by a circle.
Spiritual Interpretation: This is the state of being prior to becoming. The circle signifies the unmanifest being, the source of life prior to creation. This is the Father-Mother God or womb of creation.
Scientific Interpretation: In science this is the transcendent superspace, the field of all possibilities. This is the superhologram from which all creation manifests. This is also the supergravity point in which all creation is found compactified and concentrated. It is the trough of every wave peak.
The Triangle
The Da Vinci Man with arms and legs uplifted creates a triangle. In order to fit into the circle and square simultaneously, the Da Vinci Man has to spread his legs wide enough so that the space created is equal to the size of each leg. This space and the two legs form an equilateral triangle. The Fibonacci sequence that informs the proper proportions of each person is also referred to as the Golden Triangle. It is also found within the structure of the Da Vinci Man.
Spiritual Interpretation: The triangle signifies the state of becoming arising from within the state of being (the circle). This is the angelic realm and realm of the Holy Spirit. This is the light of creation, the realm of photons.
Scientific Interpretation: The triangle is associated three-dimensionally with the tetrahedron. Buckminster Fuller demonstrated how the tetrahedron is the most solid structure upon which to build all matter. It is the structural basis for the geodesic dome. The triangle (as tetrahedron) is embedded in the circle (geodesic dome) just as the Da Vinci Man with arms and legs uplifted forming triangles are embedded in a circle. Buckminster Fuller demonstrated that photons are tetrahedrons of light.
The Square (or Diamond)
The Da Vinci Man with arms outspread creates a square. The length of the arms added to the length of the chest is equal to the height of each person. This creates a perfect square.
Spiritual Interpretation: The square represents the precipitation of being and becoming into matter. When all three are nested together, as in the Da Vinci Man, this represents the descent of Heaven on Earth and the ascent of Earth unto Heaven. When one of these is missing, the balance, harmony, symmetry, synergy and flow is missing. The result is lack of wholeness. When we see the Da Vinci Man, all three aspects of the circle, triangle and square are enlivened within us.
Scientific Interpretation: The square is the precipitation of light into matter. Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs demonstrates a need for balance between our physiological needs (square needs at the base of the pyramid), belongingness and self-actualization needs (the triangle moving up each side of the pyramid), and transcendent needs (the circle hidden within the apex of the pyramid, the all-seeing eye of creation).
Sacred Geometry and the Ten Dimensions of Creation
Science and religion agree on the existence of ten dimensions. We have the three dimensions of length, width and height and the fourth dimension of time. Religion assigns three dimensions to the angelic realms (who also have length width and height).
Buckminster Fuller gives three dimensions to photons (tetrahedron packets of light). Religion also assigns three dimensions to the holy trinity (found in Christianity, Kabbalah and Eastern spiritual traditions). Is this similar to the three dimensions of quarks which make up both the proton and neutron of the nucleus of the atom? Is there a relationship between the angels of creation surrounding the holy trinity and the photons of light surrounding the nucleus of the atom?
The Da Vinci Man and the Ten Dimensions of Creation
1) The three dimensions of the material plane may be represented by the Da Vinci form in the square.
2) The three dimensions of the angelic realm may be represented by the Da Vinci form with arms and legs uplifted forming triangles (cosmic tetrahedrons of light or photons?). This is the realm of light, becoming and doing.
3) The three dimensions of our being are represented by the Da Vinci form in the circle.
All three of these geometric forms comprise a tenth dimension. They always exist together, and are represented by the two Da Vinci forms together, surrounded by the circle. Scientists have discovered ten or eleven dimensions associated with M-theory.
