Going over the Rainbow:
Bridges Between Human Knowledge and Patterns in Nature
   

The methods the ancients used for conveying systems knowledge can still be utilized today in the development of human consciousness.

The study of systems is underlaid by geometry, which is fundamental to the form of all patterns in nature. Fusing cultural information from the past and present can reveal the archetypal forms from which all manifestations draw their shape. Humans have attempted to grasp and render these forms as symbols, and they have been the threads of mythology for as long as we have told stories. If we look to the essence and nature of symbols originating from, and developed over, generations of cultural experience, we may derive instantiations of these symbols that are relevant and beneficial to our present culture.

Regardless of the objective existence of human-recognizable patterns amidst the flows of the universe, certain forms are so closely knit with information that their study is the most effective means of rendering aspects of the 'natural order' as wisdom - capable of being sustained across the evolution of culture.
