Francesco Daniele - Mano Pantea, 1778.
The use of hand gestures giving blessing is an ancient motif in art. This particular gesture of the fingers is known as the Mano Pantea, which predates Christianity and can be seen in Pagan motifs to ward off evil eye, and Ancient Egyptian artifacts invoking parental protection.

Eternal Return. Eternal Return, also known as Eternal Recurrence is a concept that the Universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an Infinite number of times across Infinite time or space. The concept is found in Indian Philosophy and in Ancient Egypt and was subsequently taken up by the Pythagoreans and Stoics. In addition, the philosophical concept of Eternal Recurrence was addressed by Arthur Schopenhauer. It is a purely physical concept, involving no supernatural Reincarnation, but the return of beings in the same bodies. Time is viewed as being not linear but cyclical. The basic premise proceeds from the assumption that the probability of a world coming into existence exactly like our own is greater than zero (we know this because our world exists). If Space is Infinite, then Cosmology tells us that our existence will recur an infinite number of times. In 1871, Louis Auguste Blanqui, assuming a Newtonian Cosmology, where time and space are Infinite, claimed to have shown that the Eternal Recurrence was a Mathematical certainty. In the post-Einstein period, there were doubts that time or space was in fact Infinite, but many models existed which provided the notion of spatial or temporal Infinity required by the Eternal Return hypothesis. “Time is Infinite, but the things in time, the concrete bodies, are Finite. They may indeed disperse into the smallest particles; but these particles, the atoms, have their determinate numbers, and the numbers of the configurations which, all of themselves, are formed out of them is also determinate. Now, however long a time may pass, according to the Eternal Laws governing the combinations of this Eternal play of repetition, all configurations which have previously existed on this Earth must yet meet, attract, repulse, kiss, and corrupt each other again…”
Barbara Walker - The Double-Triadic Hexagram, “The I Ching of the Goddess”, 1986. The original Triangle stood for the Goddess’s Trinity of Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer, she of a thousand names, such as Maya the birth-giving Virgin, Durga the preserving Mother, and Kali Ma the Death-dealing Crone. Her primary symbol was a downward-pointing Triangle, the Yoni Yantra, sometimes called Kali Yantra. This represented a Vulva (Sanskrit yoni), and femaleness in general: by extension, a womb, motherhood, female sexuality, the Life Spirit embodied in menstrual blood, or the world-activating power of the Goddess herself. The same symbol stood for ‘woman’ and ‘Goddess’ among ancient Egyptians, pre-Hellenic Greeks, Tantric Buddhists, and the gypsies who migrated westward from Hindustan. The primordial female Triangle became a male-female Hexagram by eight stages, graphically represented as follows. Figure 1 - At first there was only the Goddess alone, containing within herself all the elements in a fluid, unformed state. Figure 2 - With the passage of ages and by her will, eventually a spark of Life was formed within her core, represented by a dot. Tantric sages called this spark the Bindu, and one of the Goddess’s titles was Bindumati, Mother of the Bindu. Among Cabalists it became Bina, the Womb of Earth. Figure 3 - The Bindu grew and slowly became a separate being within the Mother, though it still lay wholly inside her borders. At this early stage of the Divine Creation, Darkness (the God) was still enveloped in a greater Darkness (his Mother). The God was still one with the author of his being, Maha-Kali, the Great Power. Figure 4 - At the fourth stage, the God was Born. Represented by an upward-pointing Triangle - which often symbolized the masculine principle of Fire - the God broke through the boundaries of the Primordial maternal Triangle. Here, at the moment of ‘Birth,’ the idea of the male Deity was conveyed by three solid lines, while that of the female Deity became three broken lines. Thus was the design taken apart, and its components utilized as Trigrams and Hexagrams in the I Ching. Figure 5 - Male and female Triangles, one separated, came together again in a very ancient figure that later rounded off to the Mathematical Symbol of Infinity in so-called Arabic Numerals, which were actually Hindu in origin. The two Tangential Circles or teardrop shapes of this sign meant the same as two Tangential Triangles: the two sexes in contact. The female Triangle above now took on the aspect of a nourishing breast, while the male received her nourishment. Figure 6 - Tantric yogis continued to hold that sexual union in true love was an intimation of Divinity, giving the partners a sense of merging ‘like pouring of water into water’. Similarly in Egypt, the Goddess and her God were represented by vessels of water, their conjunction by a combination of the two waters, as in the Sacred Talisman known as Menat. In the Middle East, a Sacrificial God was preceded by a vessel of water in procession to his place of Execution, a tradition that was followed even in the story of Jesus. Like Shiva, the Christian God also was born of the same Mother on whom, as a Divine spouse, he begot himself. Figure 7 - By penetrating each other to the farthest boundary, God and Goddess formed between them the ancient Tantric Symbol of the World, a Diamond, flanked by four new Triangles that were assimilated to the Elements, the four directions, the four corners of the Earth (when the Earth was supposed to be square), the four winds, the four divisions of the Zodiac, the four Sons of Horus, or the Norsemen’s related Spirits of north, east, south, and west that upheld the Heavens. All these ideas could be expressed in a simple glyph of six lines. Figure 8 - Finally, the ultimate interpenetration was shown by the full Hexagram. Male and female principles extended even beyond each other’s boundaries, becoming ‘One’ in sixfold Symmetry. This was the Union proposed by Cabalists as well as Tantric sages: the symbol of Eeternal Conception and Re-Creation. This was the hidden reason for the Rabbinic traditions claiming that the Ark of the Covenant contained male and female images sexually joined, ‘in the form of a Hexagram,’ and that the triple six of Solomon’s golden talents represented the king’s sexual union with his goddess, who gave him his great Wisdom. This explains also the early Christian’s horror of the sixfold symbol of Aphrodite, similarly united with Hermes as the first ‘Hermaphrodite,’ and their insistence that three sixes made a Devilish Number (666) and six was the ‘Number of Sin’. The ultimate absorption of the God into the Yoni Yantra (Goddess) was his Immolation, usually conceived as a voluntary Sacrifice of his Life for Salvation of the Earthly World, which needed the Life-Force inherent in Divine Blood. As Kali the Destroyer, the Goddess devoured her consort and returned to the original solitary female form of the Yantra (Fig. 1). Thus the Cycles of Creation and Destruction were carried on throughout the Life of the Universe.

Kochen–Specker Theorem. In quantum mechanics, the Kochen–Specker (KS) theorem, also known as the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem, is a “no-go” theorem proved by John S. Bell in 1966. It places certain constraints on the permissible types of hidden-variable theories, which try to explain the apparent randomness of quantum mechanics as a deterministic model featuring hidden states. The theorem proves that there is a contradiction between two basic assumptions of the hidden-variable theories intended to reproduce the results of quantum mechanics: that all hidden variables corresponding to quantum-mechanical observables have definite values at any given time, and that the values of those variables are intrinsic and independent of the device used to measure them. The contradiction is caused by the fact that quantum-mechanical observables need not be commutative. It turns out to be impossible to simultaneously embed all the commuting subalgebras of the algebra of these observables in one commutative algebra, assumed to represent the classical structure of the hidden-variables theory, if the Hilbert space dimension is at least three. The Kochen-Specker proof demonstrates the impossibility that quantum-mechanical observables represent “elements of physical reality”. More specifically, the theorem excludes hidden-variable theories that require elements of physical reality to be non-contextual (i.e. independent of the measurement arrangement). The Kochen–Specker theorem “asserts the impossibility of assigning values to all physical quantities whilst, at the same time, preserving the functional relations between them”.
Pythagorean Harmonic Music Interval Diagram showing Perfect Numerical Ratios appearing through Music. Pythagoras used various intervals of harmonic ratios as a medicine for diseases of the body, the emotions and the Soul. He aligned Souls to their divine nature and through music he performed what he called, “Soul Adjustments”. Pythagoras was able to discern the harmony and consonance of heavenly bodies, the “Music of the Spheres”, and put to use his discovery of mathematics as they relate to the harmonic ratios. He made stringed instruments that could be tuned so that they would consistently produce layered consonant musical intervals. Later Pythagoras calculated other chromatic and enharmonic orders, (using simple ratios to create complex intervals). He recognized that music was an expression of “Harmonia”, the Divine principle that brings order to chaos and discord. Thus music has a dual value because like mathematics, it enables humans to see into the structures of nature. Pythagoras taught that if it was utilized correctly, music can: a) bring the faculties of the Soul into harmony b) compose and purify the mind c) heal the physical body, thus restoring and maintaining perfect health. One of his most important discoveries was that harmonic musical intervals could be expressed by perfect numerical ratios, a finding that led him to the realization that all sensible phenomena follow the pattern of number. Pythagoras said the first important lesson to learn, is that which subsists through music, for it possesses remedies of human manners and passions that is able to restore pristine harmony and faculties of the soul. The more immediate, evident, and undeniable evidence of the influence of Number on our (mental, psychic, emotional) state is through the medium of music. Pythagorean philosophy is a “purification”, the aim of which is the assimilation to God. The universe is divine because of its order (kosmos), harmonies and symmetries it contains and reflects. These principles make the universe divine for they are the characteristics of divinity and so they also innately subsist within the human soul. The Pythagoreans taught that the soul is a harmony. If we are to become like God, then according to Pythagorean philosophy the soul must become aware of its harmonic origin. According to Pythagoras, all harmony and order is the divine principle of number, and for them, mathematical studies are the contemplation of divine principles.
