Bizarre Love Triangle

Life arises from deep within:

The sacrum resembles a rearing cobra with a flared hood. This triangular “holy bone” is found between the wings of the pelvis. In Egypt, the snake conveyed royalty, immortality and divinity and was called the Uraeus. As a medical symbol, cobras represented life itself—the magical umbilical cord uniting the mundane with the mystical.

The holes in the sacrum are called the sacral foramina. They provide an opening for the sacral nerves and blood vessels to pass through the bone. In other words, a bit like the number eight and the number eleven expressed in terms of each other. Combined, they signify the “power of the truth” that the Egyptians recognised within the triangle:

In geometry, a simplex is so-named because it represents the simplest possible polytope made from line segments in any given dimension. This is the “V” behind the concept of the three that are one. Within this shape is the life force that heralds our conscious rebirth.

In the beginning, these three notes were once called the tria prima, or “the first three”. These were the “three primes” or the “three principles” of the Holy Trinity that heralded our resurrection. As “prime awareness,” this being couldn’t be created nor destroyed, only transmuted. Like a musical chord, it remained triple in form but single in essence.

Like the path of the Sun twisting around a gnomon, the sacrum can be displayed as a centred triangular number with 19 balls. When we breathe deeply into the belly, we activate this energy centre:

The caduceus reminds us of Kundalini energy. This life force is rooted in ancient spiritual traditions. Often described as a “coiled serpent” or a “sleeping serpent” lying dormant at the base of the spine, this energy is said to hold the key to enlightenment.

Understanding Kundalini energy involves delving into the depths of spiritual practices, human consciousness, and the subtle energies that govern our existence. This powerful energy can lead to a transformative journey when awakened, providing a deeper connection with our true self and the universe. Here’s another take:

The Mandelbrot set is really the human soul. It’s graphed on real versus imaginary axes—psychological opposites balancing truth and faith, power and love, cosmos and chaos. The boundary with its infinite edge isn’t just math; it’s YOU—a map of your psyche.

Put another way: the real numbers ground it, the imaginary ones lift it and the fractal boundary is where they wrestle and resolve. It’s explicit (the defined shape) yet implicit (the endless zoom) to herald consciousness twisting into being.
