There are three main points to keep in mind when discussing Triangles.
Point One of the Triangle is pretty much the same as Points Two and Three, but Point One is recognized as being the “Premier Point,” and has deeply magical connotations. Also, Point One comes before the other points. The Science of Triangles says this has to do with pedagogical rotation – and damned if I know what that is, but I think it just means Point One comes first.
From a historical perspective, the original rotation of the Triangle was beset with all kinds of trouble. The Triangle was for sure an improvement over the square in terms of wheeled conveyance (it’s amazing, though, how long square wheels lasted before the Triangle was discovered). But then some wise-ass cut off the tips of the Triangle and made a wheel. This was a disaster for the deep bond that had evolved between humans and Triangles. Call this a misstep in evolution, because to this day, wheels are round and yes, they can go fast, but they are wholly devoid of magic, and wheels know it.
Point Two: is rather like Point One, only the 2nd, as in, “the second order of things.” Whereas Point One is the beginning of Triangle Creation, Point Two is the furthering of the creative energy of Point One’s magical eight-ball bank shot off the wall of existence. It is the push-me pull-you of the second law of thermodynamics where every Triangle has an equal (but metaphysically opposite) Triangle waiting for it when it gets home. This is called “Triangle Diffusion,” and not to be confused with, appropriately, “Triangle Confusion,” where Triangles can (very seldom) be mis-identified as a different Triangle. This has happened at traffic stops in Ohio and there are several cases moving up through the courts as we speak.
But this is all just technical – wherein lies the actual magic of Triangles? Some say Triangles have something to do with the Trinity, which it for sure does, because the Trinity involves three somethings (and Triangles involve three for-sure things: points). Theology departments have wrestled with just this issue for years, and in a world where three points are considered Holy, you can see why a 13 point (!) spread in the last quarter is so awe-inspiring.
Everything has a point. It is the way of things.
Though it is not always easy to discern what your point may be, you can rest assured that you have one. You can cast your view in any direction at all and your gaze will land upon something that has a Point. Everywhere you point, there is a point. And yet, the doorway to the deepest mysteries of Triangles comes with the illumination that having a point pointing in every direction is the very same as having no point at all. The Druids knew this.
What came first? The chicken, the egg, or the point of the egg? Only the Universe knows. (And the last Druid.) His name is Dave, he lives in Sacramento and teaches dulcimer at the Rec Center on Thursdays. I asked him about this, and he said, “Dude, of course I know the answer to that…” I totally believe him. (Who doesn’t trust a Druid?)
Triangles = Power
Is it any wonder that many police badges are some form of overlapped Triangles, as are the razor-tipped ninja throwing stars amply evident in 1970’s bad Kung-Fu movies from Hong Kong? Triangles ooze power; you can feel it. And law enforcement knows exactly what it’s doing in choosing how to project power. In fact, Triangles more than symbolically emphasize the three Independent Tenets of Policing:
1) Power
2) Power
3) Power
Okay, back on Point…(Point Three, that is):
Point Three: This is the penultimate point (except that penultimate refers to five and Triangles only have three points.) Don’t ask me why this is so, I’m only quoting what it says in the book I am working from, and have no further information on this.
Point Three is how life keeps evolving. It is the force that courses through everything around us. It is the thing that makes you park your car close to the curb and not out in the street somewhere. Point Three is responsible for the magnetic poles of our planet (and that is spiritually speaking as well…) and the third point of the Third Point of Triangles is that without them, Triangles would be, I dunno, a flat, lined rectangle or some screwed up thing like that.
So, to close this small offering on Triangles, I’d like to make one final point. (Followed by two more, naturally…)
Point One: You have a point.
Point Two: You will never NOT have a point.
Point Two(a): This means you are one with all existence (that’s the bank shot…)
Point Three: To believe otherwise would be pointless.
…and that would be sad.
