If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
Avoiding Manual Labour.

And since this is not a texting forum, take a moment to write your question in complete words, lest you find one day you have completely forgotten how to communicate in English.

Well, here's how I did it:
- Paste the bitmap (and yes, a higher res version would have been preferable to get it as accurate as possible), centered on the page and resized to work comfortably. Lock the layer.
- New layer, draw a circle for the outer boundary (centered, of course).
- Turn on Snap to Grid.
- Started a line at the center, placing points at convenient spots as it traveled outward (turn off Snap to Grid after placing the second point, align the points on the curve of the spiral).
- Once one half of the spiral is lined up, Clone it.
- Turn on Snap to Grid again.
- Select the clone, set the rotation point at the center, and rotate 180 degrees.
- Turn off Snap to Grid.
- Select both curves, and join the lines at the center.
- Select the circle and the curve (which should be above the circle), and select Combine Shapes > Slice.
- Set the fill on the two resulting shapes according to the darkest parts of the original bitmap.
- Clone the two shapes.
- Set the fill to the lightest parts of the bitmap.
- Apply feathering to taste.
Should be easy enough to recreate those steps and get the exact spiral shape you want.

PS: I will echo Gary's sentiments regarding spelling and grammar. Not trying to be mean, it's just a pet peeve of mine. Every time I receive an email, forum post, or text message that is not in complete sentences, I die just a little bit inside.
