1 Sacred Geometry – Creating the Structures A geometric story of creation Great Spirit abides as limitless light. It has no sense of ‘self’ and ‘other’ as it is All; All-Knowing, All-Seeing and All-Being. It has no concept of movement as it has nothing it can move relative to. Within this endless realm of Light a thought appeared – How would it be if I did not know myself? This simple thought created the cause for the manifestation of a world of duality. Great Spirit contracted to a single point of light, leaving a void in its stead - a space into which it could emanate its light. Beams of light were projected in six directions; front, behind, left, right, above and below. These were joined together to create an octahedron which was spun once upon each of its three axis to create a sphere. Now Great Spirit could experience movement. It could position itself inside the circle and look out, from outside it could look in, and it could travel anywhere along the circumference. Most importantly, it now knew how to create something that was apparently separate to itself; a sphere. The process of creation continued in an ordered fashion with one circle following another– vesica piscis (2 circles), triquetra (3), seed (7), flower (19) and ultimately the fruit of life (13). The fruit generated metatron’s cube which married the masculine element, in the form of straight lines, to the feminine circles. The centres of these thirteen circles were connected by 78 lines, allowing metatron’s cube and the five platonic solids to emerge. This, in geometric terms, was the birth of our 3d reality.

Sacred Geometry – Creating the Structures A geometric story of creation Great Spirit abides as limitless light. It has no sense of ‘self’ and ‘other’ as it is All; All-Knowing, All-Seeing and All-Being. It has no concept of movement as it has nothing it can move relative to. Within this endless realm of Light a thought appeared – How would it be if I did not know myself? This simple thought created the cause for the manifestation of a world of duality. Great Spirit contracted to a single point of light, leaving a void in its stead - a space into which it could emanate its light. Beams of light were projected in six directions; front, behind, left, right, above and below. These were joined together to create an octahedron which was spun once upon each of its three axis to create a sphere. Now Great Spirit could experience movement. It could position itself inside the circle and look out, from outside it could look in, and it could travel anywhere along the circumference.

Sacred Geometry relative to Walk the Rainbow The platonic solids are the building blocks of the universe. In understanding the relationship between them geometrically, then applying it to consciousness, we may gain insight into our repetitive behavioural patterns, be more inclusive in our outlook, and, as a consequence, bring peace and harmony to our daily lives. Geometrical relationships will now be explored beginning with the three ‘lower’ geometries: cube, star-tetrahedron and octahedron.

The cube and octahedron are ‘duals’ of each other, whilst the star tetrahedron is a dual of itself (two tetrahedrons facing in opposite directions). When platonic solids are dual there is an inherent relationship between them. Let’s explore this some more and find out why. Mathematically Duals = Symmetry Edges of cube (12) = edges of octa Faces of cube (6) = vertices of octa Vertices of cube (8) = faces of octa

Smaller octa sits inside cube – all the vertices touch each face of cube Vertices of icosa (12) = faces of dodeca Vertices of dodeca (20) = faces of icosa Both icosa and dodeca = 30 edges Edges of tetra = 6 Edges of cube = 12 = icosa/dodeca 30 edges each Edges of octa = 12

Stellation is a process where the vertices (corners) on each face of a solid are extracted to form a ‘star’ shape. For instance, when one square face of a cube is stellated it creates a four sided pyramid; one triangular face of an octahedron creates a tetrahedron etc. We will use this process to determine the relationship between each of these solids.

N.B. Stellated Octahedron is a Cube and a Star Tetrahedron. When turned on its side the Star Tetrahedron is a Cube!

Stellation is not required.

Now let’s follow a similar process with the two higher geometries: icosahedron and dodecahedron. These two geometries form the foundation for the Christ–Consciousness grid, with the stellated icosa and stellated dodeca combined being its full expression. The dodeca forms around the ‘points’ of the stellated icosa which is then stellated to create the stellated dodeca; stellated icosa and dodeca sit WITHIN the stellated dodecahedron. The full expression of the Christ – Consciousness grid, therefore, has 144 facets (see below).

Stellated icosahedron 60 triangles Dodecahedron 12 pentagrams Stellated dodecahedron 60 triangles 12 pentagonal pyramids ----- Total 144

144 is the number of light. 144 is a number in the Fibonacci sequence 1 + 4 + 4 = 9, the number of perfection and synthesis.

Total number of cards including symbols 144 Each card and symbol within the three packs of cards is, therefore, representative of a single facet within the Christ – Consciousness grid. Being mindful of this when consulting the cards energises expression of the full grid with its subsequent illumination of consciousness. The Art of Synthesis card reading, using nine cards, serves to connect directly with this grid through its numerical alignment, (1 + 4 + 4 = 9), whilst the 3 x 3 triangles reflects the triangular aspect. Mapping 12 cards to the dodeca (made up of 12 pentagrams) aligns with the pentagonal aspect; all cards and symbols may also be placed upon 12 dodecahedrons to complete the 144 faceted grid.

Star Tetrahedron

Static These are starting points, the foundation or blueprints, upon which all else unfolds. Static does not mean ‘stuck,’ it may be viewed as ‘dynamic stillness’ from which all forms are birthed. The circle is at once the many and the One, the container and contained, and the space from which all other geometries evolve. The seed of life is simply that, the seed. Containing the essence

of flower and fruit it unfolds through continuing rounds of concentric circles until both stand distinct and identifiable in their unique forms. Metatron’s cube is the blueprint for 3D reality; all 5 platonic solids being positioned within it. When entering unfamiliar territory it is advisable to carry a map, and in the subtle world of changing consciousness, symbolised by the platonic solids, metatron’s cube fits the bill perfectly!

Dynamic These geometries continuously change and evolve and are in intimate relation with all others. They may be seen as the dynamic manifestation and creation of life, the universe and everything! Movement from one platonic solid to another is by means of one of these dynamic symbols. The spiral, wave and circle are intimately related, each being an expression of the other. Spiral and circle differ only in their radius; one variable, the other fixed, whereas two semi-circles (one inverted) placed side by side creates a sine wave. The torus is the seed of life in action. Keep creating circles, using the seed

of life as a base (without expanding outwards), and the torus will emerge.

Static/Dynamic The Star Tetrahedron is the light grid surrounding each human being.

Known as the merkaba, it is the first geometry used to integrate spirit with matter. In the vast majority of people the merkaba lies dormant, hence its ‘static’ function. It may be activated through spinning (dynamic function), using specific meditation techniques. This action generates a toroidal field, 55’ diameter, around the body that is the human light body.
