The Five Platonic Solids

Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil.  ~Plato~

The Platonic Solids are the repeating geometric patterns that are the basic building blocks of life. All of life as we know it is composed of these geometric structures: our physical bodies, cells, DNA, plants, animals, minerals, planets, solar systems, stars, galaxies and Universes, the microcosm and macrocosm are eternally repeating these sacred archetypal patterns.

The Platonic solids have been known since antiquity. Ornamented models resembling them can be found among the carved stone balls created by the late neolithic people of Scotland, although there seems to be no special attention paid to the Platonic solids over less symmetrical objects, and some of the five solids do not appear. Dice go back to the dawn of civilization with shapes that augured formal charting of Platonic solids.

These geometries are the "language" of creation which exists at the foundation of all life. They are a blueprint of the sequence of movements that Divine Spirit makes as it descends from pure Source Energy into matter, creating the microcosm and macrocosm of universes, and ultimately our physical world.

These energy patterns ultimately coalesce as they descend from the subtle realms of higher frequency vibrational dimensions, into our denser level of physical manifestation, and form a unique energy pattern around every natural thing and being in the universe. This unique energy pattern has been described as the field of formative causation, or the Morphogenetic Field.

Morphogenetic Field. 
This energy field is crystalline in structure, and like a quartz crystal, stores information. This information in our human energy field contains the cumulative experiences and emotions of all of our lifetimes! This is referred to as our karma. Often these geometric energy patterns are "stuck" or chaotic, these "stuck particles" can become the seeds of ill health, emotional imbalance and other discordant experiences in our lives.

The Platonic solids feature prominently in the philosophy of Plato for whom they are named. Plato wrote about them in the dialogue Timaeus c.360 B.C. in which he associated each of the four classical elements (earth, air, water, and fire) with a regular solid.

Earth was associated with the cube, air with the octahedron, water with the icosahedron, and fire with the tetrahedron. There was intuitive justification for these associations: the heat of fire feels sharp and stabbing (like little tetrahedra). Air is made of the octahedron; its minuscule components are so smooth that one can barely feel it. Water, the icosahedron, flows out of one's hand when picked up, as if it is made of tiny little balls. By contrast, a highly un-spherical solid, the hexahedron (cube) represents earth.

These clumsy little solids cause dirt to crumble and break when picked up, in stark difference to the smooth flow of water. Moreover, the solidity of the Earth was believed to be due to the fact that the cube is the only regular solid that tesselates Euclidean space.

The fifth Platonic solid, the dodecahedron, Plato obscurely remarks, "...the god used for arranging the constellations on the whole heaven". Aristotle added a fifth element, aithêr (aether in Latin, "ether" in English) and postulated that the heavens were made of this element, but he had no interest in matching it with Plato's fifth solid.

By consciously accessing our personal energy field, through focusing intent on and through these specially energized Platonic Solids Crystals, one can access and reprogram the human energy pattern at it's most fundamental level through the Law of Resonance.

The Law of Resonance states that everything in the universe is energy or vibration, and when a strong field of vibration is introduced to a weaker or chaotic field of vibration, the weaker/chaotic one will change its frequency to match that of the stronger/organized one.These geometries are the "language" of creation which exists at the foundation of all life. They are a blueprint of the sequence of movements that Divine Spirit makes as it descends from pure Source Energy into matter, creating the microcosm and macrocosm of universes, and ultimately our physical world.
