country was divided between the Catholics in the south and the<br />

Protestants in the north. In the Swedish, Protestant, part <strong>of</strong> Estonia,<br />

traditional costumes were burned. (<strong>The</strong>y were regarded as too colour-<br />

ful.) Musical instruments, beautiful paintings and books were<br />

destroyed. In the southern. Catholic part <strong>of</strong> Estonia, the people kept<br />

their harmonious colour-scale. Today it is more apparent than ever<br />

that forms are constantly deteriorating and becoming destabilised.<br />

<strong>The</strong> golden mean affects us in a very positive way since it is<br />

aesthetically attractive and spiritually uplifting, which explains why<br />

the splendid beauty <strong>of</strong> buildings such as the Parthenon makes a great<br />

impression upon us. <strong>The</strong> golden section is a fixed numerical relations,<br />

where a is to b what b is to a + b. <strong>The</strong> quotient is usually denoted<br />

(phi), which is approximately 1:1.618, an irrational number, like pi.<br />

It has peculiar properties. This number has been discovered in the<br />

proportions <strong>of</strong> the human body and also in crop circles.<br />

This means that the golden section is magically charged. If we<br />

draw two circles from the same point, one 1.618 times larger than<br />

the other, and draw lines between the two, we can create magic<br />

forms <strong>of</strong> the golden mean (Nigel Pennick, "Sacred Geometry: Symbo-<br />

lism and Purpose in Religious Structures", San Francisco, 1980, pp.<br />

27-28).<br />

<strong>The</strong> golden section is a mathematical ratio usually discerned by the<br />

painter as the larger side <strong>of</strong> a rectangle how relates to the shorter.<br />

Derived by the ancient Greeks it can be constructed geometrically or<br />

expressed as a simple ratio. Even the ancient Egyptians used the<br />

golden mean, when they designed their buildings and monuments.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ainu people <strong>of</strong> northern Japan use the double helix as a sacred<br />

symbol <strong>of</strong> the link between life and the material world. It is a<br />

logarithmic helix with the proportions <strong>of</strong> the golden mean.<br />

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University discovered that a favou-<br />

rable environment, good design and beautiful paintings may give us<br />

better health. A good design (close to the golden mean) can lead to a<br />

quicker recovery from illness. It is not only good for the soul, it even<br />

lowers blood-pressure. This was shown with scientific methods in the<br />
