Halos Produce Beneficial Qualities
Halos = Perfection and Holiness
The easiest way to visualize how centers spontaneously
generate beneficial qualities is considering the historical
and spiritual significance of halos and spheres. For instance,
spheres have long been recognized as the universe’s ideal
form due to their flawlessness, beauty, and perfection.
Of course, these qualities lend themselves to the notions
of perfection—a necessary quality to even begin being
considered holy, thus the use of halos in the art of mysticism
and religion throughout time.
Centers, Symmetry, and Beauty
Artists have long recognized the inherent beauty of spherical
shapes, and science has caught up to this fact. Psychologists
have found that people considered the most beautiful
are those with the most symmetric face. Beauty is indeed
synonymous with symmetry and spherical shapes are their
most idealized form.
Centers Generate Holism
The three-hundred-and-sixty-degree symmetry generated
by center-oriented designs also imparts a certain balance
and holism to nature’s creations. In fact, through the natural
equilibrium generated by center-oriented designs; nature
finds the organizational compactness, and stability it
requires for its creations to sustain and endure themselves.
It’s no wonder the primary forms of the universe are circles, spheres, radials,
clusters, and branching systems. Their center-oriented configuration provides
the firm foundation from which nature’s steadfast creations of atoms, cells, solar
systems, galaxies, and societies can survive and, indeed, thrive as they do.
Centers Build Collaborative Relationships
Center-oriented dynamics also generate collaborative-
type relationships. Through the simple act of bringing
together sets of disassociated ‘parts’ about a common point,
centers naturally cause things to join in larger, cooperative
arrangements about a common point and/or purpose.
Replace the phrase ‘common center’ with the words meaning,
belief, or symbol and one can see the very bedrocks from
which something like a ritual or a society could emerge.
