Most of the life forms on the planet are built around the Phi ratio, a mathematical and architectural concept that represents peaceful cooperation, affinity, and compatibility. The Phi ratio has been known since the time of Euclid, thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Phi ratio (also called the golden section) can be stated in one simple sentence: \u201cThe smaller is to the larger as the larger is to the whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This doesn\u2019t sound like much, does it? But, like a seed that contains the complex biological information necessary to make an apple tree or a gigantic redwood, the Phi ratio contains information that creates the inherent harmony that allows trillions of cells to form complex organisms like humans, animals, and plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To put it simply: Life forms are complex systems based around harmony and cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a quick look at how the Phi ratio works (don\u2019t worry, no math!). We\u2019ll begin with something simple: a straight line. This line has been divided in the Phi ratio:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"142\" class=\"wp-image-2320\" style=\"width: 1600px;\" src=\"https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PhiRatio.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PhiRatio.jpg 1161w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PhiRatio-300x27.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PhiRatio-1024x91.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PhiRatio-768x68.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PhiRatio-960x85.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a<\/strong> is the smallest segment. It is the distance between point X and point Y. <strong>b<\/strong> is the larger segment. It is the distance between point Y and point Z. The whole segment is the length of the entire line, the distance between point X and point Z.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t a math essay, so I\u2019ll just summarize by saying that the relationship between segment <strong>a <\/strong>and segment<strong> b <\/strong>is <em>exactly <\/em>the same as the relationship between segment <strong>b <\/strong>and the entire line. It turns out that when you apply this concept to architecture or nature, the result is an <em>inherently<\/em> harmonious and compatible structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s look at what happens when we divide the segments in a rectangle in Phi ratio:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" class=\"wp-image-2319\" style=\"width: 650px;\" src=\"https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GoldenRectangle.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GoldenRectangle.jpg 1444w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GoldenRectangle-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GoldenRectangle-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GoldenRectangle-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GoldenRectangle-960x642.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You get a spiral.

Why do animals kill other animals to survive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because, for thousands of years, human beings have been trained and educated in a false belief system about ourselves. Moreover, not all of nature is predatory: dolphins and whales, for example, exist cooperatively, not competitively. It\u2019s why people go to sea to observe dolphin pods and soak in their energy. Animals don\u2019t necessarily have animosity toward each other, even different species:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" class=\"wp-image-2322\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DogDucklings.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DogDucklings.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DogDucklings-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DogDucklings-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DogDucklings-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DogDucklings-960x576.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/labrador-retriever-becomes-a-foster-parent-by-taking-15-orphaned-ducklings-under-his-paw_4589799.html\">https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/labrador-retriever-becomes-a-foster-parent-by-taking-15-orphaned-ducklings-under-his-paw_4589799.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The human race has chosen to accept the falsehood that human nature \u2013 how a human being is inherently biased \u2013 is selfish and conflicted. But this goes against the very structure of the human being!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The power of thought and expectation, and our biased education systems, have an enormous influence on our attitudes about ourselves. Perhaps, in the past when we didn\u2019t know any better, there was justification for a service-to-self attitude toward our fellow humans and other life forms. But not anymore. We don\u2019t have to live with the attitudes and expectations of the past. That is what the Great Awakening is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s all going to turn out well, because the invisible, underlying information that builds our world and even our bodies \u2013 what quantum physicist David Bohm calls the Implicate Order \u2013 is cooperative and benevolent. The human race is beginning to look past the facade of our false belief systems and into a true new world order that is divinely inspired and designed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harmony and cooperation are inherent qualities in humans, animals, and plants Most life forms on earth are built around perfect mathematical harmony.
