In the sea, the “cradle of life,” the number five appears here morphologically in a most pronounced and unequivocal manner, the foreshadowing of the five fingers on the human hand, with which Creation takes hold of the world. Paleontology has also proved that the ancestors of all mammals today definitely had five toes, and that only through later specialization, such as in the horse, was one discarded.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">Kükelhaus writes of this picture:</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> “Thus it might appear as a friendly accordance that crystals know nothing of the number five and remain in the forms of the triangles, squares, and hexagons that resound through their domain. Since they do not reproduce, they cannot break through their world into the wonder of the fruit, into the realm of the Mothers. The formal equilibrium, the static symmetry of crystals, changes in plants and animals to an inwardly manipulated changeable equilibrium, a “dynamic symmetry,” whose archetype is the pentagon with its unequal constant division. The silence of the sea's depths, the eternal night, and the great pressure of the water weave together thoughts of sacrificial freedom from the memory of the distant wisdom of the stars, and send their messages as floating and flying star-pentagons into the higher levels of the world of light...”</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"><span lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">Peter Neubäcker</span></p> <div style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><img src="../kayser2/imagelibrary/Nature/20.jpg" alt="" /><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"><br /> Image 6</span></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></span><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"><br /> </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;" dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: bold;" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left;" dir="ltr"></p> </div> </body> </html></div>
