Group Warrior Morphic/Memory Fields and the Phi Proportion
"It is not enough to teach a man a specialty. Through it he may become a kind of useful machine but not a harmoniously developed personality. It is essential that the student acquire an understanding of and a lively feeling for values. He must acquire a vivid sense of the beautiful and of the morally good. Otherwise he - with his specialized knowledge - more closely resembles a well trained dog than a harmoniously developed person. --Albert Einstein
This document discusses the
Technical Proposition Group warrior morphic/memory fields manifest both temporally (across time) and spatially (across space) in the Phi Proportion.
(The phi proportion also appeared in the currently very popular book The Da Vinci Code .)
The Temporal Manifestation of Group Warrior morphic/memory fields.
This is really a systematic approach to "what goes around, comes around," or to quote Sheldrake, "things are as they are, because they were as they were," or Yogi Berra, "it's deja vu all over again."
The Classic Fibonacci Phi Sequence
We start with a sunflower that usually has 55 spiral rows of seeds in one direction and 89 spiral rows of seeds in the other direction. We ask where do those numbers come from.
The answer is the classic Fibonacci Phi Sequence:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...
where each term in the sequence is the sum of the previous two terms, and where the ratio of terms such as 89/55 or 144/89 rapidly approaches the number 1.618, which by convention is represented by the Greek letter "Phi" -- short for "Phi"-bonacci. (Similarly, 3.1416, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle is referred to by the Greek letter, "Pi".)
Pithy Phi Point: In every sequence constructed such that each term is the sum of the preceding two terms, the ratio of the terms in the such sequences always approaches 1.618 = Phi. This is an inherent property of these sequences, which we call "Phi Sequences.")
The Fibonacci numbers from the above classic Phi sequence are found throughout nature for example, in apples, pine cones and pineapples; daisies have 13, 21 or even 34 petals, and sunflowers 55 and 89 rows of seeds.
"Stirring the Void" In any Phi sequence starting with zero, the next term, in this case 1, will always repeat because zero plus 1 is again 1. We call zero the (Buddhist) void (that is capable of manifesting anything), and the 1,1 repeat, "stirring the void with a 1,1 paddle."
In this case, "stirring the void with a 1,1 paddle" produces daisies, sunflowers and other forms in nature.
Since we are not really interested in flowers, let's "stir the void with a 4,4 paddle", where each term in the new Phi sequence is four times the corresponding term in the classic Fibonacci (flower) Phi sequence.
We produce what we call...
The Semper Phi Warrior Sequence
0, 4, 4, 8, 12, 20, 32, 52, 84, 136, 220,...
(Again, as in all Phi sequences, each term is the sum of the previous two, and the ratio of terms approaches 1.618=Phi. This is just the prior classic Fibonacci flower sequence multiplied by four.)
We call this the Semper Phi Warrior Sequence (after the Marine Corps Semper Fidelis, "always faithful") because it appears that warrior energy occurs and re-occurs in this Phi pattern.
For example, starting c1998, the Vietnam war occurred roughly 32 years before or c1966; W.W.II occurred roughly 52 years before or c1946; W.W.I occurred roughly 84 years before or c1914; the Civil war and the Franco-Prussian War occurred roughly 136 years before or c 1862; and the American Revolution occurred roughly 220 years before or c 1778.
Thus, we are suggesting that Group Warrior energy re-peats in the Semper Phi warrior sequence. In addition, in the sequence, 52 , is the re-peat in years of the classic daily Mayan calendar that has 13 tones and 20 archetypes. Eighty-four is the cycle in years of the planet uranus.
Events today could be re-peats of this recurrent pattern of warrior energy, that is, "things are as they are because they were as they were in the phi proportion" (a la Sheldrake) or "it's deja vu all over again in the phi proportion, and you can observe a lot just by watching" (Yogi Berra). Let's do some watching:
From the Vietnam era (c 32 years ago) comes:
- the current war in Iraq that is similar to the Vietnam war (both wars being similar to the
hellish Seminole War c1820-1850's that was fought mainly in Florida.)
- the Viet Nam era military records of both George W. Bush and John Kerry that surfaced in the last election and that were surrounded by intense controversy both at CBS and with the "Swifties."
- an architect of the Viet Nam war, Robert McNamara was appointed to head the World Bank, and an architect of the Iraq war, Paul Wolfowitz, has been nominated to head the World Bank.
From the W.W.II era (c 52 years ago) comes:
- the militaristic and aggressive tone and actions of this country that are similar to events in Germany (and Japan) during W.W.II. This comparison has been made by several others.
From the W.W.I era (c. 84 years ago) comes:
- The current re-shaping of the Middle East. According to David Fromkin, Professor of History and International Relations at Boston University, "The shape of the contemporary Middle East - the shape that we are trying to get Syria and Iraq and the others to change - was in the large part designed by the British after 1918 when those lands were part of or under the influence of the Empire."
- The current war in Iraq is similar to one in that same place circa 84 years ago. From an article by Niall Ferguson, a history professor at Harvard in The New York Times May 24, 2005..."In 1917 British forces invaded Mesopotamia, got to Baghdad, overthrew its Ottoman rulers and sought- in the words of the general who led them, Sir Stanley Maude - to be its people's 'liberators.' The British presence in Iraq was legitimized by international law (it was designated a League of Nations mandate) and by a modicum of democracy (a referendum was held among local sheiks to confirm the creation of a British-style constitutional monarchy). Despite all this, in 1920 there was a full-scale insurgency against the continuing British military presence.
Some may object that warfare today is a very different matter than warfare 85 years ago. Yet the striking thing about events of 1920 is how very like the events of our own time they were" (emphasis added).
- warriors on and not on the athletic field; in 2004 the Boston Red Sox won the World Series for the first time since 1918 - 86 years previously. The hockey Stanley Cup was not awarded this year (because of labor problems), the last time being 1919 because of the flu epidemic.
- Flu issues - last winter's flu vaccine problems, and the possibility of bird flu becoming a worldwide epidemic.
From the Civil War era (c 136 years ago) comes:
- a politically polarized country in which the current map of the blue/red states reproduces geographically the pattern of the Civil War.
- The current Sunni insurgency in Iraq that the US Army was unprepared for and that is killing at least 1,000 US soldiers is similar to the post Civil War insurgency in the South that the Union Army was unprepared for and that killed at least 1,000 Union Army soldiers.
From the time of the American (and French) Revolutions (c 220 years ago) comes:
- the theme of the birth or re-birth of democracy as, for example, in the Middle East and in three former republics of the Soviet Union, Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan.
- the separation of church and state issue, one of the founding principles from 1776, is again under active consideration in the United States today.
- perhaps the Boston Tea Party re-occurring as the celebrations in Boston of the World Series and three Super Bowls. Also, at one point back then, the British troops fired on a crowd; the Boston Police did likewise, killing a young woman student.
Thus, the current war in Iraq could be re-sounding events from at least the Civil War period, the post World War I period, and the Vietnam War era - all of which would be in the Semper Phi Warrior Sequence.
We welcome other additions to this list.
The Warrior Morphic/Memory Field being in the phi proportion spawns the following quotes:
Things are as they are, because they were as they were in the phi proportion (a la Sheldrake).
It's deja vu all over again in the phi proportion, and you can observe a lot just by watching (a la Yogi Berra).
What goes around warrior-wise, comes around in the phi proportion.
History is in the phi proportion, and we have a rendezvous with destiny (after FDR).
You see what you look for, and you look for what you know (old medical school saying).
The Spatial Manifestation of Group Warrior morphic/memory fields
We are proposing that group warrior memories recur in the phi proportion on group warrior lines such as a latitude line. It is as if places in the phi proportion on a warrior line act as a phi antenna for the semper phi warrior sequence signal.
Perhaps the best example to date is the latitude 30 line, which we call Delta 30.
The Delta 30 Warrior Line
Delta 30 extends from Texas to Florida: from San Antonio TX, Houston TX, New Orleans LA, across Mississippi, Mobile Bay AL, the panhandle of Florida and to the Jacksonville/St. Petersburg FL area.
There are numerous Air Force Bases, Naval Air Stations and other military installations stretched across Delta 30 from Jacksonville, FL to Texas (at least 10, depending on how you count).
The latitude extends to Cairo, Egypt and on to Kuwait and the southern tip of Iraq, which has a current warrior connotation.
Some phi proportion relations on Delta 30 include: San Antonio/Houston/New Orleans; Houston/New Orleans/Jacksonville; San Antonio/Mobile Bay/Jacksonville; and Lafayette LA/Mobile Bay/Jacksonville.
An active cluster of ALS cases is occurring in the Mobile Bay area of AL. This was the site of a major Civil War battle on August 5, 1864 - Admiral Farragut and “Damn the torpedoes -full speed ahead.”
