#11—Gematrian Mandalas of Harmonics (in color)

This article is in vivid color, with sacred geometry. Around 2001 I explored number, gematria, harmonics and color to find universal correspondences of these "languages” to a meaningful cosmology. Expressed both in mythopoetic terms as well as color, form and harmonics, this series of gematrian “mandalas” reveals suggestions of how a cosmology might be developed that uses both hemispheres of the brain, as well as heart. When inner and outer are experiences as one, we no longer have subjective and objective knowledge, but insight or direct cognition. All the odd numbers are selected because each one reveals a new harmonic. All even numbers are octaves of odd numbers. You can see the numbers around the periphery of each mandala. The colors are selected according to how many octaves are in a given mandala, with magenta being the first tone of musical C, and lavender-violet being the last tone of B. There are zodiacal, mythic, symbolic connections based on octaves also. To attempt to explain these associations and universal languages would require a book.
