Response:

I care about the proper grammar, punctuation and context of my words and what have you, but at this point in writing my thoughts, I am just going to write as I feel it, as if I was talking with you face to face without the use of written words. So, in that case, I ask for your apologizes for any mistakes in the follow response.     - NAME News.


This is NAME News, I am your reporter, Marcineo Jonfogastine.

The Leo’s Trio Theory to Earthling Cosmic Connection was inspired by and motivated by Leonardo da Vinci’s diagram of the Vitruvian Man. Reports indicate that this historical artistic diagram represents the “correlations of ideal human proportions with geometry described by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius in Book III of his treatise, De Architectura.

“THIS Image represents a cornerstone of Leonardo’s attempts to relate Man to Nature.” Encyclopedia Brittanica online states, Leonardo envisaged the great picture chart of the human body he had produced through his anatomical drawings and Vitruvian Man as a Cosmografia del minor, (cosmography of the microcosm) the workings of the universe.

The diagram Mr. da Vinci is in charge of, is lacking a key element within this society that we live in, in which he helped to create and structure for this modern civilization, which ties man to knowledge in this present situation.

Space / the Cosmos, all the darkness we cannot see, this is apart of OUR existence. Mr. da Vinci mentions that the circle represents the spiritual side of Man, and the square represents the physical side and inside of man and the planet. But, something is missing, a key piece of understanding to this fascinating work of artistic literature.

To Leonardo: The Theory of the Circle, the Square, and the Triangle

“Your idea of the circle (the spiritual side to things) being the “divine symbol” of our spiritual world, and the square representing our physical Earth is truly amazing. I must admit, before our lectures of your diagram, I too, sampled this idea of the circle, and how we all revolve and evolve within this planet. But, you are right, Earthling Man and Woman are the microcosms to the Universe, a divine species that can be used for many tasks and operations of this life, for this physical, mental, and spiritual existence. 

Now, this inspiration sparks from the Father light of the cosmos or the heavens. The “Spiritual” circle of light, sight, and all things right.  The Father Sun is our divine operator, and also, the cosmic husband to the material / physical existence holder, maintainer, and nurturer on this planet, Mother Earth. In brief, the Circle is the spiritual communicator, enabler, of Mother Earth’s creation within herself - or Father Sun is the producer of Cosmic seeding for Mother Earth’s ability to birth this natural realm of existence, this material, physical realm that we Earthlings know of, walk on, and shape everyday.  But, where does this leave us now? If Father Sun (Circle) and Mother Earth (Square) are the parents to this divine existence, this means, there must be a solution, a product that these two divine cosmic creations are producing. This would be you, the fellow humans of the planet, and myself.

I really enjoy this theory a lot, this idea of the grand magical operation, one that the spiritual realm is founded with a circle, and the material realm is measured and presented as a square. But there seems to be a missing piece to this equation, one that speaks to every individual and soul of this cosmic garden of existence. 

Humans are the two part force of this cosmic existence. A third piece to this divinely crafted equation that is Father Sun and Mother Earth. It is US humans who unfolds the nature of this cosmic creation of our very own existence. The Earthling Vitruvian Equation goes something like this:

The Breakdown is as follows:

Circle (+) Square (=) Triangle

The Circle: The Father Sun (The Spiritual, The Divine)

The Square: Our Mother Earth (The Physical, The Material aspect of our existence)

The Triangle: Humans, The Individual (The Combination of Spirit and Material / Physical Existence that roams this planet

I believe your original diagram that you presented to the world is a very accurate and simple way to guide one to look at themselves and nature with curious hesitation. The fact that humans of this planet all represent this map, this formula, this equation of their physical and material self feels extremely warming to me, no matter their race, region, religion, or relation - every single human being is in some way shape and form a blueprint of your diagram.  We are all divine children of the cosmic parents, Father Sun and Mother Earth. The Vitruvian Man drawing is simply a Divine piece of work, a work that is still reigning throughout cultures and societies as a visual foundation to something better - even myself.

Your sketch turned into one of great artistic creation and innovation, which shined insight of light on the idea to further both ideas of Man and Our cosmic parents.  With this artistic creation you probably did within an hour, it has turned into something more, an aspect of ourselves as a physical, mental, and spiritual piece of existence to this planet, of this planet, for this planet.”
