Investigating the links between science and spiritual traditions, I’ve discovered an uncanny quality in biology, architecture and spirituality I call threeness. A code of 3 is hidden in our cells and molecules.
- The genetic code is made up of 3 letters. AAA ATA GCT
- Our brains are called TRIune constructed of 3 anatomically and functionally different areas – brain stem, limbic and cerebral cortex.
- The pantheons of many religious traditions are also threesomes -for example
- Christianity’s Father, Son, Holy Spirit
- Judiasm’s Yahveh, Shekinah, Ruach;
- the Hindu Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu – just to name a few.
In the physicial universe, the triangle is the first stable structure; it is reiterated at all levels of design. As above, so below. Look at the design of the most stable human-made structure, the geodesic dome – triangles.
SO…
I put this to you as a personal exploration – since “3” is essential in building our genes, bodies and religious philosophies, can we use it to help build or recreate our own lives?
I am always looking for the practical in science and spirituality – what if you did your practice in 3s. An example –
- State an intent, reaching up to the sky
- Bringing your hands to your heart or belly, repeat your intent or action you will do to help
- Bending down to touch the earth saying I’ll do whatever it takes.
This could be about initiating or staying with an exercise program, a business plan, a mental shift.
What if you declared an intention with 3 gestures – mind, body and spirit. Try it and let us know if performing a ritual 3 times for 3 days or 30 makes a difference in your life.
