Lesson: The Circle Of Life
Welcome to the lesson: The Circle of Life. This lesson is about the most misunderstood component of life: The role of Math and Science in everyday life. The circle of life is far more complex than it at first appears.

For example, did you know the human heart is a circular muscle? The heart is not just the neuro-muscular, electrochemical "blood pumping organ". It is a wrapped circle, often called a Gordian Knot.
In this lesson we explore the human heart as a metaphor for a deeper understanding of nature itself. We all think we know what something "does" we understand it. There are deeper truths exposed when we examine the structure, purpose, and function and form to determine why nature evolves systems.
Not a Pump; Not a Machine; A Spiral Wave
When we reframe the what, why, how, when, where of any heart we are able to see nature and her precious sacred geometry in action. You like many people, probably imagine the heart as a very complex structure of rooms, like this:
The traditional understanding of the heart as a series of chambers
This system is accurate, but it's proposed function is out of line with the way nature and the reality of life itself evolves and creates things. It is useful metaphor, but it requires a human way of thinking of things that is often not supportable by fact. What's missing in this conception of the heart is the role of the SPIRAL.

Would it surprise you that the heart is a spiral? Further would it surprise you to learn that all blood vessels - arteries, veins and capillaries use ridges to cause blood flow to spiral? or that the very shape of the blood cell, flat, with rounded edges and a depressed middle area is optimized to spiral through the spiral of the blood stream?
