Mathematics

Weekly Equation
Each week we will be contemplating one mathematical equation in extreme detail. Will move our minds into the structures of that equation and get to know it at its source. The goal to be will be for each of us to develop a deep subjective relationship with the equation. One in which we can perceive that equation as self-evident and one single movement of mathematical truth. This equation will be the “koan” of the week, and each of us will consider and contemplate this equation as our weekly assignment. Part of our contemplation will be to create some small piece of software related to this equation. I will be taking a journey with you. And while I will have probably consider this equation personally before, this practice is never ending and will deepen my comprehension of that equation or topic.

Weekly Meditation
Every class will begin and end with a meditation. Initial meditation will be there to help us clear our minds and expand our consciousness. The final meditation will be there to integrate what we’ve learned. This will most importantly develop our meditation ability. The meditation approach will be metaphysical where we focus on energy directly.

Week 1: Perfect Squares, Cubes, and Special Cases with Geometric Properties. 
Week 2: Base 10 and Novel Bases: Binary, Octimal, Dodecimal, and Hexadecimal.
Week 3: Square Roots and Cube Roots
Week 4: Difference of Squares
Week 5: Intuitive Gold Ratio
Week 6: Intuitive Quadratic Formula
Week 7: Pythagorean Theorem, Specific Cases
Week 8: Pythagorean Theorem, Generalization
Week 9: Intuitive Circle Circumference and Area and PI
Week 10: Sine and Cosine

If you don’t know these topics or think you can’t get them, we will be starting from the beginning to see them in this enlightened way. Zero foundation is required. If you think you know them and that this doesn’t apply to you, you may be surprised. What is 18^2 in Hexadecimal? Why is the integral of sin from 0 to pi exactly two? Can you see these as self-evident truths with a single step visual proof? Can you do them without thought, thinking so softly that all your spiritual energy is retained?

Meditation is also a part of the classes, where you learn to meditate on the astral or metaphysical plane and the causal or mystical plane, including the chakras and planes of light. This helps awaken intelligence by clearing the aura of impurities so that one can be a clear channel for intelligence and love.

An all inclusive spiritual practice that combines Bhakti Yoga and Zen Buddhism including the spiritual principles of beginner’s mind, gentleness, the path of least resistance, positivity, detachment, all of which promote the embodiment of intelligence and love. We seek to develop heart first and foremost, where mathematics supports and develops this aspiration. In the program you get to build your own spiritual routine that you can grow and evolve moving forward on your own. The routine includes meditation and math as well as the general lifestyle elementals that support overall spiritual development.
