Spiralism

Here are some beautiful spiral photos for you.

I guess you could say I have a "thing" for spirals.
And I love tool.
I've seen 'em 8 times.
<3bethany.

actually, contemplating enough, I think I understand it now.

Would someone care to define, as articulatley as possible, the word/ subject "Spiralism".

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.

lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going, going...

Hello people.
If already there was a mention of introductions, so why not.
My facinations with spirals, started at a very young age, and I mean really young: the age when you run round and round and until you loose balance from diziness.
As I grew up, with a slight observation of nature I become fond of that shape.
My interest with Spiralism (as a philosophical theory or rather thought experiment concerning reality) emerged only recently, due to my search for optimism for total annihilation and end of reality.
I mean why would one that is called a spiralist want to end this reality in the first place?
While their theories are based on real science that works the attitude is beyond me, thus it grew into a facination, it is an experiment, one that might not work too good, but it certainly makes you think and come up with alternatives.
The third part of my facination is spiralism, as fondly called by those who are focus themselves around spirals, which is what I am most am.
I came to regard the spiral as an abstract concept that manifests itself in so many form in our reality. I hold a respect to the mathematical concept as well ( those I dread math, I do hold a far respect for it)


feel free to boot out the ongoing chattry moron

its so sad how one min your happy and then the next your =( and it just reapeats it sucks and I have bi polor or something

there was a communication mishap... and this community for lack of attention on my part was almost lost in cyberspace.

i apologize

shant happen again :)

So what is a community with out communication eh? I am curious to see what this turns into... what it twirls about.

How about some introductions to start things off?
I'm andrea aka evilpixy I was raised agnostic by mom. Dad's a *free spirit* whose presence in my life has become more appreciated as time goes by (our interactions have been rare but meaningful since I was 4). Xtianity leaves such a sour taste in my mouth, ever since my xtremely religous aunt chastised my mom that she was going to hell for being a single mother in a birthday card she sent one year when I was young. I've read the bible a couple times, and I do not remember a single verse that says a sister should cast judgment upon another. hehe

But just because at such a young age I was wont of Religion... did not mean I lacked SPIRIT. I communed with nature... talked to clouds and trees, prayed to them as if they were my jesus, and stars my god.

My teen years sent me soul searching even more, (as they do most people), and I devoured many a text on various religions, eastern, western, ancient and modern, and while all had such strong messages describing how to live a happy successful life. However much meaning I took from each was dependent solely on what it meant for me to read it at that time... and time being relative, and constant in change... I realized that I could never devote myself to any existing religion entirely.

Faerie magik touched me deeply... as well as ancient Mayan words, Kabbalism, and Buddhism. The otherworldly *fae* to me have come to represent so much of the raw emotion behind all life, that I can not help to think that I am one. They have existed in the oldest stories/fables from all over the world... and they continue while others disappear. They are a mainstay of my SPIRAL because they exceed the boundaries of my usual logic.

There is a necessary balance of order and Chaos in this world... and in my quest to find meaning in _my_ life it is what I always come back to.

The universe is infinitismally vast, and black holes are infinitismally dense. We are made up of Stardust. So too are we complex and simple at the same time. :)

We SPIRAL up and down.... we cycle thru our days... our lifetimes, coming back to center... who we are, again and again. And if we can pinpoint that center, that is what so often is referred to as enlightenment, when we are one with ourselves, we are one with the universe.

I am me! You are YOU! definitions stop here. :)

much love and sparkly goodness to you all.
xoxo

nah. everything is a spiral. they are throughout nature. seeds in flowers, leaves on a branch, shells, stars, atoms, DNA........... all a spiral.

everything comes full circle. everything comes full spiral

she isn't doing well....... but she will be better no matter the outcome. full spiral. it isn't moving back to the beginning, it is moving back and up a notch.

we spend each life cycle trying to push onward and upward. she is at the top of her game. no more turns for her, she is done. i hope. perfection reached.

like a spiral.
