| Also, upon a bit of investigation, it seems others have tried to connect the FOUR CARDINAL DIRECTIONS but some of the evidence doesn’t add up? |
I view the cardinal directions as having 9 main points, 8 vectors ( the 8 winds) and 1 center ( the center churn, mount meru, window on eternity, the center of the milky way).
Each point on the circle is separated by 45 (9) degree's, it is the classical compass, or compass rose (
which is further sub-divided into 32 points )
One and and same...Dharma wheel
With the 8fold path along the spokes:
Marie-Louise von Franz considers it the "hole through which 'eternity breathes into the the temporal world', or the hole where heaven and earth succeed in meeting, and where creation occurs".
The point (hole) is where the doubling circuit/double mandala/mirror overlap and seemingly rotate around, it is the only place with no double, a singular, what Marko sometimes refers to as "Spirit Emanator". This is also related to Penrose and the Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis ( )
The Ergosphere, the black hole reality sphere where these events occur, according to Penrose and others, actually looks like a torus

The milky way represents temporal time , or cyclical time , while the doubling is heavenly time ( the rhythm), intersecting at the center ( or in Marko's version off-center, though this is difficult to fully understand in the context of a 2-d drawing).
The heavenly order - Ho-T'u
The temporal order - Lo-Shu
The Lo-Shu on the cardinal directions,
ps. An interesting read,
Marie-Louise von Franz ( lots of great books including a relation between I-ching and DNA published in the 60's)
Double ps. The magic lo-shu compass image is from this site
http://tap3x.net/EMBTI/archives.htmlTriple ps: Besides the quantum theory's of singularity ( a la Einstein/Penrose/Hawkins) we also have a more relevant human singularity, maybe Ray Kurzweil is onto something,
http://www.viceland.com/int/v16n4/ht...rzweil-800.phpInterview from his book "the singularity is near".
A quote from the article,
Quote:
| the point where the perpetual doubling of technological growth skyrockets and negates the linear models of progress that people like economists have relied on for so long. Kurzweil says we’re just about to start rounding this bend and that the rate of progress will be so great it will “appear to rupture the fabric of human history.” In other words, we will trump nature and take control of our own evolution. |
