Conceptualizing Reality

Have you ever wondered why when you look at old paintings of prominent figures in history, they are usually depicted holding a compass or surrounded by tools and relics, commonly used for measurement and geometry? it is because these tools are the basic equipment needed to conceptualize an idea from the mental realm into a 2D blueprint and finally into 3D physical material reality. Pythagoreans the Greek philosopher and mathematician believed that everything could be reduced to numbers and that the whole universe had been built using mathematics. They said the truth behind the everyday reality we experience lies in numbers. A person who has mastery over these tools, such as the compass and the square, symbolizes one who has a degree of control over an aspect of reality and can be likened to a type or archetype of an Archigenitor. Hence such persons are able to create coordinate systems, Maps, calendars, etc.

 In the Middle Ages, the universe was viewed as a great machine whose creation and functioning reflected harmony: proportion and symmetry, these qualities were imparted through design by its Creator. Scholars of this period conceived their Christian God as a Great Geometer whose compass served as the “tool of creation.” This 13th-century illumination, the frontispiece of the French Bible Moralisée, depicts this belief. 

  The Aquarian Gospel Of Jesus The Christ

 "...When they reached their home (Jesus & Joseph) he wrought with Joseph as a carpenter. One day as he was bringing forth the tools for work he said, These tools remind me of the ones we handle in the workshop of the mind where things are made of thought and where we build up character." 

  The coordinate system we commonly use is called the Cartesian system, after the French mathematician René Descartes (1596-1650), who developed it in the 17th century. Legend has it that Descartes, who liked to stay in bed until late, was watching a fly on the ceiling from his bed. He wondered how to best describe the fly's location and decided that one of the corners of the ceiling could be used as a reference point. The development of the Cartesian coordinate system would play a fundamental role in the development of the calculus by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The two-coordinate description of the plane was later generalized into the concept of vector spaces. 

The Gregorian calendar is actually why we started using the word "calendar" for date-keeping devices. The word "calendar" comes from the root word "calends", which means account book! This is because the primary use of this calendar for the common man was to know the dates to pay taxes. This would explain why the general collective consciousness of the populus of humanity if obsessed with commerce and mamon has literally become the god of this world, as printed on the one dollar bill, ''in god we trust'', makes you wonder, which god?. In fact, this calendar was imposed upon the disposessed indigenous people of the "New World" under the Doctrine of Discovery of 1582... 

 The earth rotates daily about its axis. The north and south poles are the two imaginary points where the axis would enter and exit from the earth if the axis were a pole or a line. The equator is the imaginary primary reference line drawn around the earth halfway between the north and south poles. The half of the earth to the north of the equator is the northern hemisphere; the half to the south is the southern hemisphere. (The prefix hemi- means "half"; thus, hemisphere means "half-sphere.") The poles determine north and south directions. Movement toward the North Pole is northerly in direction. Movement toward the South Pole is southerly in direction. 

In astronomy and navigation, the celestial sphere is an abstract sphere that has an arbitrarily large radius and is concentric to Earth. All objects in the sky can be conceived as being projected upon the inner surface of the celestial sphere, which may be centered on Earth or the observer. If centered on the observer, half of the sphere would resemble a hemispherical screen over the observing location. The celestial sphere is a conceptual tool used in spherical astronomy to specify the position of an object in the sky without consideration of its linear distance from the observer. The celestial equator divides the celestial sphere into northern and southern hemispheres.
