Michael S. Schneider - Three-Part Harmony, “A Beginner’s Guide to Construct the Universe”, 1994.
With three points we have for the first time, Dimension. Three was considered to be the first number whereas one and two were looked upon as the parents of numbers. Although three becomes the first number, it only exists in the
2-dimensional World. No matter how you configure the points, it will always produce a flat plane of undefined thickness that does not exist in the
3-dimensional world.
Life-forms in general have a three-part Structure. From the body parts of an insect (so named because it’s “in sections”) to the hunian body’s head-torso-legs with their own subsequent tripartite subdivisions and the three layers of
heart muscle, all express the same principle. The Geometry of fruits and vegetables will be tripartite when they begin as three-petaled florniers.
It’s interesting to note that many Sacred Structures feature a Triad shape, from Pyramids to LDS Temples. The triangular shape hearkens to the Divine Unity as well as a mountain which is a place where God has often communed with man; Temples are also referred to as the ‘Mountains of the Lord’. It seems clear that God works in threes and when we see the number three, we are perceiving something Divinely Harmonious and Complete. With the number three we can also see a Reflection of our own selves, our Past, Present and Future State that will be brought back to one in a Future Glory to come.
