'Still Point" is just a name for the eternal, invisible thread connecting all there is in the Universe. It was often called "Consiousness" (sometimes "Shiiva") in many traditions, and referring to it as the divine Nucleous in all our hearts, the Yogiis called it sometimes "Purusottama". The "formula" is in fact simple: where the Pure Principle is the same, everything is the same and connected, and the only thing we all share is: stillness.

If we really want to measure it among waves, we might call it "Coherence". Mathematically, the optimal way for any waves to perfectly fit together is the Golden Mean Ratio (see "Why Phi"). This is why Nature has sorted this ratio as the perfect solution to create galaxies, stars, atoms, dna, cells, and: YOUR HEART.

In atoms or dna it is easily seen how "spin" (oriëntation) and symmetry among waves work together. This is called: Sacred Geometry, a way to visualise how waves fit together geometrically. The well-known "donut" shape is the natural map of how spin turns into a wave. Still-Point among waves is seen as a vortex, like a galaxy or a tornado, as it is moving through Time and Space. In this form, it is known e.g. as "Perfect Implosion", creating gravity and emotion. The shape of life is nothing but branching back up into this perfect fractal.

Our Heart is the sacred place where our spirit is getting Tuned to the Infinite, and where the Yogi discovered the location of his or her soul ("atman"). Measuring coherence among heart waves scientifically does not mean: reducing its intricate value. It simply means: establishing how the Heart's physiology responds to ensoulment, to openness, to compassion, and how this translates into emotional index and intensity.

Going through Dimensions: The dynamic turning inside-out of the donut is but a visualisation of the next higher dimension, we often call "time". Try to feel as if it is "sucking" equal space ("acceleration") through its centre hole in one particular direction. This is also called: "dimpling", and the result is a dynamic wave, or force-wave.	Going through Symmetries: This turning inside-out through the donut acts upon the Sacred Geometry we visualised within the original universal symmetry of Creation, and turns it from scale-invariant into "implosive", reflecting the shifting in dimension. This creates gravity and emotion.

See how the topology of a SUN-flower perfectly mirrors the geometry of a light wave... It teaches us the role of waves in turning universal coherence into the Shape of Life... and it is the proof why measuring waves in the heart is: measuring emotional coherence.

Some Still Point Philosophy: Conception in the form of Perception

If you are a bit of a philosopher, you might think of Still Point philosophy as "dvaitadvaita" - meaning: dualistic-nondualistic at the same time. Unlike how Buddhism or Advaita Vedanta were understood many times, Still Point philosophy does not deny the relative world, nor does it litterally want to escape from it, but recognizes it as a part and parcel of the Great Perspective, perfect in it's own way. You could also think of it as "Still Point Physics"... still point + physics, abstract + matter. When it comes to the bottom line, the ideas of "Unity" (Universal Still Point) and "waves" are in fact axioma's, and you may feel how true and valuable they are for you. If we follow a bit the Yogic tradition, we could think of a sense of continuity, taking Creation through dimensions, as the Operative Principle, acting upon the original Still Point. Psychologically, you might think of it as "desire" (i.e. for expression, creation, self-experience) and as a creative force it was called "Shakti". In Still Point philosophy, the result of this operation is explained as: "conception in the form of perception":

Operative Principle:	Conception...	... in the form of Perception
Traditional / psychological...
"Shaktii"	Brahma becoming "Shiiva"	personification, Shiiva Incarnated, historic Shiiva 7000 BC ("Taraka Brahma")
"The Word that is with God"	The Word-that-is- God, becoming "God, the Word is with.."	Patriarchal persona, "Father"
Still Point Physics...
"Continuity"	"Still Point"	Golden Mean Coherence
"Spin"	Still Point becoming "Symmetry"	Sacred Geometry (geometric symmetry)
"Waves"	Symmetry becoming "Implosion" ("Engaged Symmetry")	The physical Universe: Time and Space Inertia and Gravity Ego and Emotion
