The divine is there for all of us to see, reflected in the world’s beauty,
like clouds in the stillness of a lake.
~Jonathan Borges (1872-1929)
One can’t help wondering what to make of this splendid universe.
Flowers burst outward in brilliantly arranged masterpieces of creation, stunning
spiral mosaics form about rocks in a stream, frozen crystals spontaneously form
on window panes in the winter, delicately interconnected ecosystems work
in harmony for the good of all things, planets spin in synchronous relation
overhead, and a single smile can warm the soul of the entire universe.
One thing is clear—order and harmony are the norm and not the exception in
our universe. In the battle of chaos versus order, order emerges as the clear victor
not only producing copious regularity but also the fantastic qualities of beauty,
balance, and harmony.
And there are reasons for this. Order and balance are synonymous with nature
because in her very fabric resides a process which spontaneously generates
orderly and harmoniously arranged structure.
A great creative process of seeming divine origins that not only forges chaos into
orderly devices, but also one that imbues nature’s creations with the qualities of
beauty, balance, holism, and collaboration. Fantastic qualities of being we can
put to good work in our lives once we understand nature’s way. This chapter will
provide that knowledge in preparation for applying nature’s wisdoms to our lives
in Chapter 4.
Nature Generates Harmony Thru a Center-
Oriented Design
Remember in Chapter 1 when we mentioned that center-
oriented configurations naturally generate 3D, spherically
shaped
forms?
While
possibly
appearing
relatively
insignificant at first, this outcome in fact brings with it
colossal consequences. For embedded in the very form
of spherical forms are structural interrelationships that
spontaneously generatethe beneficial qualities of symmetry,
balance, purity, holism, and collaboration.
Ultimately giving rise to the wonderful harmony and indeed magic we see streaming
throughout the universe—including in our lives. In the following sections we
examine 38 how these fantastic qualities of being naturally arise as part of nature’s
center-oriented, creative process.
