Dear Lenny:
Many thanks for the explanation. Understood.
In regard to mathematics and geometrical ratios in nature, I have been
reading a remarkable book:
THE GOLDEN RATIO by Mario Livio
(Broadway Books, Random House N. Y.)
[Mario Livio Ph. D. is head of the Science Division of the space
Telescope Institute. Previous book: THE ACCELERATING UNIVERSE (2000).]
He gives us a history of the GOLDEN RATIO in mathematics, music, art,
nature and science.
It is PHI ( 8/5) = 1.6180339887........
Other "irrational numbers / ratios" are noted and discussed by him such
as:
PI = 3.1.4159..... (Circumference to diameter ratio of a circle)
"Disordered systems" mathematics (D. Viswanath, Berkeley U.) discovered
in studying randomness a mathematical constant = 1.13198824.....
Besides that we have the series noted by Fibonacci in a number sequence
= 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,
144.........
It is perhaps significant that these inexpressible ratios are found in
Nature and they may indicate a key to understanding the difference
between say the various planes that THEOSOPHY speaks of. (i.e.: the
relationship of physical to astral, to psychic, to mental, to ideal
planes -- to mention but 5. )
What do you think?

I'm sure Dallas can come up with a quote by HPB or WQJ that explains all
this
in relatively simple terms.
But, the following is one more or less
scientific (geometric or topological) way to understand the similarities
and
differences between the four fold and sevenfold systems:
The division of the "coenergetic" and "coadunate but not consubstantial"
fields of consciousness, or "principles" that comprise all living beings
(from the
universe on down, and fully expressed in Man) can be considered as One
manifest, relatively insubstantial or spiritual outer principle
encompassing three
progressively more substantial dual inner principles.
Since all manifest fields of energy are polar and must have both a
positive
and a negative (attractive and repulsive) aspect to support their
inflation
from within, as well as maintain their continued harmonious balance --
no
spherical field can exist in manifest space without two spherical inner
fields
between its outer circumference and the zero-point of origination at its
center.
These (today, called "hyperspace") fields, are each of a different
degree of
substantiality related to their descending frequency/energy orders (or
phase
changes).
Thus, the configuration of the first manifest 3-fold (or 3 cycle) field
complex emanating from any zero-point-instant "singularity" is what
constitutes the triune "Monad."
Upon Cosmic manifestation, the initial Cosmic Monad continues to involve
or
divide in a progressive dual or fractal manner, to form eight fields
(four dual
fields) or seven Chakra centers in each successive octaval involutional
stage.
Therefore, each of the three inner principles or fields of consciousness
of
the four fold system must be dual in nature, totaling (after the third
involutional stage when the inner six field centers are added to the
surrounding and all containing "spiritual" field center) seven Chakras
or field centers.
Thus, depending on one's point of view, the entire system can be seen as
either four fold or sevenfold. This corresponds to the "four worlds" of
the
Buddhist-Hindu systemss, and the "seven fold (or seven Chakra centers)
nature of Man" in both the Eastern philosophical systems and the
theosophical system.
Picture this (like bubbles within bubbles within bubbles, etc.) as a
single
sphere within which are two spheres, and within each of which are two
additional spheres, etc.
This "fractal" involution of monadic fields continues analogously, ad
infinitum, down to the smallest particle of physical nature, as the
Cosmos continues to evolve and spread its zero-point centers of origin
throughout all of
manifest space. This accounts for the ancient adages that "The center
of the
universe is everywhere and it circumference, nowhere" and, "As above, so
below."
This arrangement, representing the progressive 3, 1, 4, 1, 5 or twice 7
fold
nature of universal involution during the initial stages of
manifestation
(See: Book of Dzyan, Stanza IV), can be easily visualized by studying
and
meditating on the symbolic cross sectional diagrams while following the
spiraling and vortical flow of continuously circulating energy emanating
from any zero-point "Laya center." See:
http://users.aol.com/uniwldarts/uniworld.artisans.guild/chakrafield.html
Other field arrangements (possibly occurring at different levels of
logoic
involution's) -- which also conform to the harmonic laws of cycles, and
its
derivative laws of fundamental symmetry and conservation of energy --
are
symbolically shown at:
http://users.aol.com/leonmaurer/invlutionflddiagnotate.gif
http://users.aol.com/leonmaurer/Invlutionfldmirror2.gif
Incidentally, the above diagrams may also be useful in visualizing and
better
understanding the evolution of the "globes" and their "rounds" and
"races."
(But, do not take these diagrams literally, since they are limited to
only
two dimensions and do not represent the fields within fields within
fields of
our multidimensional hyperspace universe.)
I hope this helps,
LHM
