DODECAHEDRON

The Dodecahedron has been and continues to be the bearer of divine inspiration. It offers a perfect unification of the cube and the sphere, and thus between the finite and the infinite. Plato assigned the Dodecahedron to the element of Ether. It is the contemplation of the universe.

The Dodecahedron is a polyhedron, made of twelve equilateral pentagons around a central point, and has twenty vertices and thirty edges. The Dodecahedron is the most complex solid that can be created in three dimensions from the same equilateral, equiangular polygons. Although defined by Plato over two thousand years ago, the Dodecahedron was put forth, as too, the other four solids, by Ancient Egypt. The Universe as space defined the measure of time.

The dodecahedron has 12 faces, 30 edges and 60 plane angles on the surface. There was indeed revelation of the ancients when it was understood that the cycles of the Solar system are expressed by the same numbers, the 12-year cycle of Jupiter, the 30-year cycle of Saturn and, the 60-year cycle of the Solar system. The  Dodecahedron was put forward as the Universe figure, which symbolized "Harmony of the Universe." Egyptians reasoned that all main systems, the very systems of time did correspond to numerical values of the dodecahedron.

The planetary motion defined time. The completion of a cycle defined the calendar year and as such completed a course of motion, measured as 360 degrees. Twelve Zodiac space/time frames were identified. Taking this full cycle, and portioning among these twelve Zodiac space/time frames further defined the time/space of 30 days. One month corresponded to moving of the Sun on the ecliptic between two adjacent Zodiac signs. The movement of the Sun, by the ecliptic on one grade, corresponded to 24 space/time units, thus one day comprised of 24 hours. By dividing one hour into 60 minutes the Egyptians introduced a minute. By dividing the minute into 60 units the measure of the second was put forth.

The Dodecahedron is space/time, it is the expression of the Harmony of the Universe, the movement beyond the Earth plains, the Ether, the Spirit. Its perfection, its expression offered as the harmonic accord of each of the four elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air.

The Call to Consciousness ~ The Five Platonic Solids

The Five Platonic Solids

Form, Structure, Consciousness of BEING

The Five Platonic Solids, by virtue of form and structure, are associated with each of the five elements. When working with the Five Platonic Solids, you become engaged in the very elements of life itself. The energies of earth, water, fire, air, ether, are brought to awareness. The interplay of each of these elements becomes known. The extent to which you are in harmonic accord with each element determines your very wellbeing. We each have an evolutionary destination. Experiences, and our resultant consciousness, can be supportive and/or maligning to our evolution in a myriad of ways. Knowing which of the five elements are not functioning in accord with our wellbeing, allows for conscious action and desired change. The direct biofeedback evaluative process of APOGEE Acu-Tone™ provides an energetic profile of response to each element. These findings define the restorative frequencies that will bring balance, accord and a newly experienced state of wellbeing.

Do consider that the Wisdom of Creation, The Universal Mind, are part and parcel of each of the Platonic Solids. The rocks and minerals of our planet consist of the crystalline lattices created by the elements. The cells, tissue and organs of our bodies are manifested through these forms. Appreciate the form and function of each of the five elements as they exist in all life. They are the means of elemental expression within every environment, providing that which is necessary for developing and sustaining life. In our world, the cube creates the Earth, the icosahedron creates water, the tetrahedron creates fire, the octahedron creates the air, and the dodecahedron creates ether. All are contained within the sphere that is our planet. All are contained within our bodies, our consciousness, our very existence. Integration, balance and accord of each of the elements determine the functioning health of all living forms, be they animal, plant or mankind.

Placing the platonic solids in your home or office provides you with a universal information system. Through awareness, instinctive or learned, one can come to identify the consciousness associated with each of the elements. Such knowledge supports the refinement of consciousness through which life-affirming behaviors develop. Affirmations, visualizations, postulates, derive both purpose and power through the understanding of the operative forces within each element.  To understand the physical, mental, emotional, energetic, spiritual consciousness within each of the five elements, is to understand the miracle that is YOU, the miracle that is LIFE.
