A great article I found with personally added commentary

This is an article I found, which I thought was really beautifully written...

"Reality is a holographic construct create by the patterns of sacred geometry that repeat in cycles called linear time. Reality is myth, math, and metaphor. The movement of all consciousness follows a sequence called the golden spiral - the Fibonacci numbers published in 1202.

"There have been many calendars throughout history that do not necessarily correlate to our Gregorian calendar or the Mayan calendars. Therefore, how can one be sure that this date is the beginning of what some call a Golden Age? The term 'gold' takes us to alchemy now understood as a metaphor for the evolution of consciousness in the alchemy of time. It is something you feel within your soul, something that follows your life with synchronistic reminders that all is connected as consciousness moves through the gears, or wheels of time to evolve into something beyond the physical experience/experiment."

I can't find the authors name. Source: http://www.crystalinks.com/mayancalendar.html

Here is my tangent:

"Reality is myth, math and metaphor" - When our perceptions are broken down in order to analyze the make-up of reality as we know it, all one can truly gather as root explanations, boil down to these fundamental principals.

Myth is the embodiment of our history - all history of humanity, and serve the basic function of the "memory" of our collective consciousness. The word "Myth" is often misunderstood, as we learn in school that Myths and History are two separate paradigms, when in fact the history taught in school and by the mainstream, are really only today's current myths. The myths of the ancient times were once current histories. This is the memory or our collective conscious. We build our very essence of culture(s) upon the Myths of yesterday. With all of these myths, we need a system to keep it's record, and so we realized the function of Math.

Math embodies all we know as countable. We need to count in order to tabulate history, and hypothesize formulations. With math, we are able to navigate through measurements of time. Additionally, math applies names to objects, as well as the base root of all language. In essence, they are markers throughout a realm that previously had no front, or back, or up or down.

Metaphor is so vague, that it almost acts as a collective sub-conscious, to the singular mind of humanity. Metaphors are often dismissed as coincidence, and often go hand in hand with synchronicity. Metaphor is difficult to count, as it is fleeting, and only subject to it's observer. Metaphors are like fingerprints; hard to see unless closely analyzed, but always matchable to it's counterpart. And though metaphors travel in stealth, only able to be plucked from the air like a passing thought cloud, metaphor is the quiet historian to our collective sub-conscious.
