Patterns of Character

Character is normally understood as being a consistency with principles and values that hold together, and people of character are viewed as fair, consistent, and trustworthy. One of the reasons that math is compelling to the human mind is that it is trustworthy. Math, essentially has character. That is its strength.

So I believe that our relationship to mathematical patterns should be more than one of just casual external interest. The mathematical pattern is a paradigm of character, and when our character can be entrained to grow into a consistent, mathematical pattern, we ourselves become trustworthy - as per the pattern.

Even moreso, the maths we contemplate - that we spiritually merge with - are reborn into OUR patterns - of behavior, action, thought, imagination, and projection - AS fields. We bend time towards the essence of our intentions and our character.

The broken, dis-integrated character is naturally weaker, because its fields contain many contradictions that translate into a lack of consistency in terms of personal spiritual energy.

Integration of pattern into consistency is a key factor in strength - both of the body and the soul. The parts have to be working together - and if the right balance is struck, then this integration will effect a kind of miraculous resonance - or a fractal scaling into eternity.

Here are two mathematical patterns that are of deep contemplative value. The first is the Lo Shu magick square - the only magic square of order 3, and the second is what I call the "Sunflower Array" - a unique magical tiling of hexagonal tiles that is the only such tiling of ANY order possible.

Note that, fascinatingly, these two rare beasts both centre the number 5. Imagine that five is the trunk of a tree with 9 roots and 19 branches.

If you want true strength, don't focus on force, focus on character - and if you want true character, do not focus on attributes, focus on integrality. If you want integrality, study mathematical patterns as if there was no difference between the self doing the study, and the pattern being studied.

Patterns of great character contemplate themselves into realization.
