A pattern regarding the simple idea/concepts that divide 'west' from 'east'.
Western religions have always been described as 'linear' i.e. having a beginning point (genesis) and an end point (amen) not unlike electrical flux lines.
....However the philosophical/cosmological theories emanating from the east have focused more on the idea of a 'circular' or continuous evolutionary path for humans dealing with Karmic forces....similar to the idea of magnetic flux lines that loop.
What if we assign the idea and promotion of ELECTRICITY to western ideals (thanks Benjamin Franklin/Telsa and Edison) and the idea of MAGNETISM to the orient which in fact developed the first magnetic compass?
Right hand rules?
Funny how the western religions show a preference for the RIGHT Hand and the Chinese revere the LEFT Hand associated with Lao Tzu, the father of Taoism.
Also the idea of 'longitude', used for navigating the oceans was an idea that took time to develop in the west...
And in fact the intersection where 1 degree of latitude = 1 degree of longitude occurs at 55 degrees.
So what is significant about the number 55?
AHA!
How do we link the number '55' to the double helix called DNA?
