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.
