Ep #17 Platonic Solids Love Affairs | Monday Musings

This may be my sexiest SGP podcast yet! This time, I cover the Platonic solids. Named after the famous Greek philosopher and geometer, Plato, they have been found farther back in time, the oldest record I’m aware of are carvings of the platonic into spherical stones, found in the Indus River Valley and dated by archeologists to be about 3000 years old.  I’d also like to share with you my fascination with their relationships. They each have their own really hot love affairs, so you may want to take note.

Transcript

So far in these Monday Musings, I’ve covered many Sacred Geometry basics and topics, and I’ve been encouraging you to draw these patterns of nature and know for yourself the Truth behind them, as is evident to you. I’ve covered many concepts, meanings and experiences, and at the start of 2023, I decided to spend the next few weeks talking about some very quintessential and better known sacred geometric forms.

Today, I’d like to cover the Platonic solids. Named after the famous Greek philosopher and geometer, Plato, they have been found farther back in time, the oldest record I’m aware of are carvings of the platonic into spherical stones, found in the Indus River Valley and dated by archeologists to be about 3000 years old.  I’d also like to share with you my fascination with their relationships. They each have their own really hot love affairs, so you may want to take note. If you’re not yet familiar, the platonic are 5 regular polyhedra - simply meaning they are 3 dimensional forms that have all equal sides, faces and angles at their vertices. The most common being the cube. Most anyone knows the cube, like a box, with squares on all 6 flat faces, and with 12 sides or edges, and 8 vertices or points. All 6 squares are the same area, all 12 sides are the same length, and all 8 vertices have the same 90 degree angles. Because it has 6 faces, it is technically called a hexahedron - hex meaning 6, and hedron from the greek meaning ’sided’, so 6-sided. 

Even simpler in form is the most basic, the Tetrahedron, or 4-sided shape. Made of 4 triads with 6 edges and 4 vertices, this form is the strongest. You can find a tetrahedron in nature as the seed of the Buckwheat grain. If you take a second tetrahedron of half the size and insert it into the first Tetrahedron, it’s points will fit perfectly in the exact center of each of the 4 faces, if rotated enough. It creates a beautiful fractal of itself.  If you take a second tetrahedron of equal size to the first, invert it and interlock it with the other so that the base of one is halfway to the top of the other,  you have perfect balance, all edges are bisected equally, and the result is what is known as the Merkaba, star Tetrahedron, or “light vehicle” of the human energy field - more on just this topic in another podcast to come. The point here is that the Tetrahedron, the simplest of the 5, is in balanced relationship with itself. In 2D the dual Tetrahedron Merkaba creates what is known as the Hebrew Star of David, Seal of Solomon, or as the hexagram. Hmmmm … what did those ancient kings know? 

Looking at the Star Tetrahedron, you’ll see that merging with itself - it actually represents the union of the masculine and feminine, you’ll have 8 smaller tetrahedron stellated - or pointing off of the core defined by its intersecting lines, which gives birth to our next Platonic solid, the Octahedron. Octa, meaning 8, has 8 faces, 12 edges - just like the square, and 8 vertices - also like the square. In fact - just as the Tetrahedron is it’s own perfect Twin Flame, the square and the Octahedron are True Soul Mates. First, before I explain why, envision an Egyptian pyramid, and see it with another upside-down pyramid below it in the ground. That is basically what the Octahedron looks like. And when the Octahedron gets together with the Cube, pure magic happens! The 8 points of the Octahedron will sit perfectly in the exact center spot of each of the Cube’s 8 sides. And When the Cube inserts itself into the Octahedron, their love is reciprocated… Cube’s 8 points will fit perfectly in the center of each of Octahedron’s 8 faces. 

Guess what? The remaining 2 Platonic solids are also a perfect match for each other. The Dodecahedron - yes, that same shape that physicists fairly recently proclaimed as the shape of our Universe - has an irresistible and mutual attraction to the Icosahedron. The Dodecahedron, named for it’s 12 faces of pentagonal shape, fits its 20 points perfectly centered in icosahedron’s 20 beautiful triad faces, and vice versa. 

By now, If my explanation of these solid relationships hasn’t left you so hot and in a romantic frenzy, then you may be wondering why the heck they’re called Platonic! Well, according to Wikipedia, "Platonic love, as devised by Plato, concerns rising through levels of closeness to wisdom and true beauty, from carnal attraction to individual bodies to attraction to souls, and eventually, union with the truth.” After all, isn’t that what we are doing in the Sacred Geometry Portal?

I leave you with that to ponder, and wish for you that all of your relationships follow Plato’s original intent. Blissings and bee well.
