Finger points to the Moon. It takes approximately 1.26 seconds for moonlight to reach Earth’s surface and meet a human’s eyes. That is 1.240284738000546 in lunar seconds. Moonlight is a reflective light consisting of sunlight along with a little earthlight. From fingertip to shoulder, the human upper limb ratio corresponds to the golden section (≈1.618), known as the divine proportion or golden number. A newborn infant does not come into this world with this structural proportion, they grow into it as the body matures into adulthood. A pinecone has a spiral structure of the golden ratio among a variety of forms in nature, such as the geometry of crystals, and the spacing of stems in plants. The pineal gland in the human brain derives its name from the pinecone. In evolutionary biology, the pineal gland represents a kind of photoreceptor. In the epithalamus of some species of amphibians and reptiles, it is linked to a light-sensing organ, known as the parietal eye, which is also called the pineal eye or third eye.

Dot-on-dot.net is about a finger pointing to the Moon, the patterns of fingerprints that are miraculously unique to each fingertip, and the limbs that grow into sacred geometry. It is also about the Moon, and the Sun—from which moonlight originates. Eventually, it is also about the pineal gland, reptiles, coiled kundalini, pinecones, and plants.
