The Platonic Solids

There is an intense feeling of restructuring of everything inside and around these days. Insights into the sacred geometry once again are floating around, and so are the clouds in the sky. "Normally" sunny New Jersey is changing its sky scenery every few minutes. Yesterday evening waiting for a traffic light under a pouring rain, I took a picture of a bright blue sky above my house just across the bridge.

"What is going on?" I posed a question looking at a thick cover of the clouds this morning.

"The Earth is under constructions," the report was, and my thoughts went back to the geometry from my dreams.

What are the building blocks?

Two days ago in the post New Land, New Constructions I was talking about triads of words and triangles they create. But what glue is holding those together? What shape are we dealing with? What is the base of that shape?

The "base" feels crucial. I go back to March. On the 21st, I wrote about the floor as the foundation for trust and creation. The next day, I saw a puzzle being resolved into a geometrical shape... but something was still missing.

On March 25th, exactly three months ago, I started a post Pieces of The Puzzle: The Floor talking about Divine Feminine. I never posted it; something was not ready.

I've been a part of Mastering Alchemy (www.masteringalchemy.com) with Jim Self since last month. It is from his teachings I learned about a connection between our personal containment fields and Platonic solids. That inspired me to look further, and that certainly influenced my passion in search for the insights.

I am still getting information about the connection of the sacred geometry and our existence. Meanwhile, look what the world of mathematics offers to us. You don't have to get serious about it; just play, and have fun.

Johannes Kepler, in his major astronomical work, Mysterium Cosmographicum (The Cosmographic Mystery), published in 1595, speculated that the orbits of the six planets known at the time—Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—could be arranged in spheres nested around the five Platonic solids: octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron, tetrahedron and cube. For the Platonic polyhedra arranged in this order, coinciding circumspheres for a given polyhedron and inspheres for the next polyhedron gave a fair approximation for the relative sizes of planetary orbits around the Sun. Kepler later rejected this model as insufficiently accurate, but it remains as an amusing exercise in solid geometry.
