Course overview~
We will examine a 3D mind map as a visualization tool and blue print for mental and spiritual organization that connects many cultural symbols to nature(and Solar Energy) though science. We will begin by examining our understanding of perspective and then relate this understanding to the movement of the Earth and Sun and time. Like pieces of a puzzle, we will see how many symbols fit together and relate to the natural cycle. The topics covered include yin yang, tree, cross, ankh, star, planet Earth movement, Times table fractal, Sun movement annelemna, tropic of Cancer, Capricorn, Moon orbit, constellations light, Rainbow, Star of David, Surya Yantra mandala, Koch fractal, life cycle, light cycle, growing cycle, personal mental growth cycle, color wheel, compass, clock-daily cycle and calendar-yearly cycle. In conclusion we will discuss ways we can use this knowledge to create a new sustainable culture through exercises, home furnishings, fashion, landscaping, games, art, ritual, celebrations, songs and poetry.
