I do not believe for an instant that the golden ratio shows up in all  
thee places. I do, however, believe that many flavors of the ancient  
one might have so believed. Numbers, like letter an words, were  
considered magical in most cultures, and, in fact, till are by a  
surprisingly large number of people, especially folks who insist on  
"literal" readings of specific texts or who cast "spells',  or do  
"numerological" analysis of everything from the Bible to The Story of O.

However, as an Illuminati, I can tell you that the "Golden Ratio" was  
well understood and applied by the master masons who built the great  
Romanic and Gothic cathedrals of Europe.
