The Octahedron is one of the
Platonic Solids of the sacred geometry. But what are the Platonic Solids, and where do they come from?
In short, they’re derived from the centuries old Flower of Life. The Flower of Life is a complex flower like pattern, based upon equal circles. Additionally, the Flower of Life holds many secrets, including the Platonic Solids. And thus the Octahedron.
But in order to find these solids, we have to unfold the secrets of the Flower of Life.
Platonic Solids
The first secret, for example, is the Fruit of Life. From the Fruit of Life,
Metatron Cube can be derived.
Through the complex lines of the 2D shape of Metatron Cube, other shapes can be formed. In total, five three-dimensional shapes can be formed. All of them have four very interesting characteristics in common.
To sum up:
- All faces have the same shape and size.
- All their edges have the same size.
- The interior angles between each face is the same.
- If the solid is placed inside a sphere, all the points are touching the surface of the sphere.
The best-known platonic solid, is the
cube. Firstly, all its faces are a square. Secondly, all of the edges have the same length and thirdly, all the angles between the faces are 90 degree. And last, all its points touch the surface of the sphere.
The other platonic solids are the
Tetrahedron, the
Octahedron, the
Icosahedron and the
Dodecahedron.
Unlike the cube, the other shapes are less commonly known.
Plato
So how did these shapes got their names? Well, these three-dimensional shapes were first described by the philosopher
Plato (hence the name) around 400 BC.
Each Platonic Solid is named after the amount of faces they have (in Ancient Greek). The Tetrahedron (4 faces), the Hexahedron / Cube (6 faces), the Octahedron (8 faces), the Dodecahedron (12 faces) and the Icosahedron (20 faces).
But the strange thing is, these remarkable shapes are being dug up all over the world. What they’ve discovered is that they’re thousands of years older than Plato.
Their connection
But what makes them so special in the world of
Sacred Geometry? Most importantly, all our matter is built upon these shapes. All molecules and atoms, follow a certain structure. Which makes matter as what it is. Sometimes these shapes are extremely complex, sometimes they’re very basic. And you might guess it already, the most primitive shapes possible, are the Platonic Solids. All other shapes can be derived from the Platonic Solids.
So what does this mean? This means that the
Platonic Solids are the blueprint of all matter. They contain every possible molecular connection and structure. Besides that, they also contain all possible geometric laws of this reality and universe we live in. It’s the secret key to Prima Materia; the primitive, shapeless base of all matter which got shaped and became the universe.
Octahedron
The Octahedron resonates with the element Air and with the Heart Chakra. This Chakra is also known as the Anahata Chakra, represents love, forgiveness and compassion. You might have heard of the saying “to blow off some steam”. Steam is water (emotion) in its gaseous state (air). Most of these sayings have a deeper spiritual meaning than you might think.
The Octahedron’s key function is Integration. This Platonic Solid can help you with healing, acceptance, forgiveness and compassion for yourself and others.
The Octahedron can also help you with self reflecting and raising your vibration. This can help you with having more compassion for yourself, which in turn boosts your healing process.
It will also help you with expressing your creativity through your voice and helps with speaking from the heart. Creating a stronger connection with your inner world and your outer world. “As within, so without”.
