THE BINDING FORCE OF RINGS - Tolkien exhibition

5/31/2018

0 Comments

 

All encompassing circle

Rings, or Circles, bind everything within as one. It is the nature the circle to encompass, hold and support whatever is contained within it, like a bowl. All geometric shapes are constructed with their corners touching the Circle from which they originate and are maintained. Indeed, all forms of existence shaped by geometric principles are contained within the circular vessel of reality.

THE GRID OF TIME
THE SUN is active, radiating out light that contains colours. We are made of light, we reflect light so that others might see us, light sustains us, colours provide vibrance and meaning to our life. Our inner 'light' radiates out to illuminate us and provide us with strength.
​
Light, and the fire creating it, have been revered for many generations. Coming together in a Circle we share a special moment that binds us together as a group and, ultimately, as part of the One Circle. Fire was frequently placed in the Centre, or another important item, or person, that was central to holding the Circle together. When removed the Circle dissolves away.

TIME is the abstract feature of reality give form by the circle. Binding all time within the eternal, vast circle on the perimeter that is centred around the immediate moment of the central Point. It is the Point that provides an axis around which all circles of every duration can rotate, like a wheel. The minute, hour, year, eon...eternity; every cycle revolves around the elusive, immediate moment.

THE INTENT and nature of the Centre radiates out in all directions, as light does. So if it is negative, or "rotten at the core", this also spreads outwards. Much like the inner Circles around a source of dark power when corrupted will influence outer Circles to eventually affect the whole community revolving around this source. Light and love will permeate the Circle, so whenever you are central to a Circle radiate out positive, loving intent. 
For more on the characteristics of Circles and other geometric shapes please refer to my books in The Gateway Series.

The Lord of the Rings

The famous Bodlaien libraries in Oxford, UK, are holding a major exhibition of JRR Tolkien's work from the 1st June 2018, including his illustrations, poems, letters and personal items. As a fan of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, which I have read several times, I am looking forward to gaining an insight into the creative process of this gifted author. The binding power of rings and the significance of the intent of the ring bearers, being destructive dark or healing, loving light, are central to the success these epic stories.

Gateway to the Heavens
A glorious work that fires the imagination and helps us appreciate the truth of our reality.
NEXUS magazine
Do you realise you actually shape your destiny and shapes influence your destiny. If you want to understand how this works ask Karen to give a talk about it or read her excellent book. You may have hated even the mention of geometry at school, but Karen's simple and illustrated explanations will give you a real insight into this fascinating topic. 
Jo Pelle, NSFH
The Hidden Geometry of Life
The harmony in our world and the cosmos is awe-inspiring, and is brilliantly portrayed here in images and words which reveal the connection between art, geometry, science, consciousness and spirituality.... An illuminating book indeed!
NEXUS magazine
The attentive audience was enthralled by Karen's introduction to the principals of this truly multi-dimensional topic ... The energy in the room, by the end of the evening, was well and truly charged!
