COLOURS:

Blue expresses a powerful communicative ability, it is the colour of the Throat Chakra, and also relates to the element of AIR, which carries messages on the wind from one place to the next. Air is the element that Mercury moves through, communicating his innovative, transformative ideas in inspiring ways to all of humanity. The number 5 relates to Mercury and the swift mental stimulation and perception he represents.

Gold and green reflect 5's ability to achieve fruitful results, growth and abundance in the material realm. Red is another frequency that carries the theme of fruitfulness, it reminds us of the ripe fruits of the harvest.

This mandala reflects the vibration of 5,namely its ability to proliferate, energise and regenerate. Focusing on this mandala will open up your awareness of possibility, opportunity and growth. It helps to open up the mind to new ideas, and to see solutions that were previously hidden.

The geometric expansion of the number 5 creates the Phi ratio, which emanates from the square root of 5. The Phi ratio is also commonly known as the GOLDEN ratio. This term refers to the fact that the phi ratio gives us proof that we are all aspects of the creator, co-creating this reality with him/her. It tells us we are the reflection of God in the mirror of light.

There is only ONE proportional relationship that takes us up to the highest level of perceptual ability, and that is the Golden Ratio. Most of us learnt the golden Phi ratio as a number that has no end, and some of us remember this figure as 1.618, which to many of us is really meaningless. Rarely does the traditional educational environment use the Pentagram and Pentagon to visualize the infinite holographic generation that these forms generate.

The first thing we must get away from in order to break through the lack of understanding of this magical ratio is to understand it merely as an abstract, incalculable QUANTITY. First and foremost, we must rather understand the Phi ratio as a QUALITATIVE relationship.

"The Golden ratio is first and foremost a proportion, not a number, a proportion upon which the experience of knowledge (logos) is founded. In a sense, the Golden Proportion can be considered as supra-rational, or transcendent. It is actually the first issue of Oneness, the only possible creative duality within Unity. It is the most intimate relationship, one might say, that proportional existence - the Universe - can have with Unity, the Primal or 1st division of One. For this reason the ancients called it "GOLDEN", the perfect division, and the Christians have related this proportional symbol to the Son of God".

Indigo is the colour of the higher 3rd Eye chakra, which is the centre of our intuitive intelligence. The number 5 also vibrates with to this colour frequency, because of its energy of mental astuteness and an expansive imagination.
