Transcendence

The Winged Disc represented enlightenment:

Vyapini was once portrayed with turquoise wings that reminded us of the throat chakra (sound). The red disc at centre was indicative of the root chakra (light). The mirrored serpents represent the many aspects of our reciprocal natures.

The turquoise octahedron is known as Vishuddha, or the throat chakra. It’s where we find our voice, speak our truth and cast our spells. This chakra is associated with speaking up and expressing ourselves. Philosophically, the Vishuddha chakra is associated with truth, clarity and responsibility. On the colour wheel, turquoise is the opposite of red.

The dual of the octahedron is the cube. This root chakra or Muladhara refers to manifestation. The colour red is associated with the light of creation and strongly resonates with the “root of existence”. Muladhara is considered the creative foundation of the “energy body”. Red light is associated with sunrise and sunset.

When the octahedron and cube combine as sound and light, the vertices of one correspond to the centre of the faces of the other and vice versa:

By joining the vertices above, we can produce a rhombic dodecahedron:

The rhombic dodecahedron is made up of 12 rhombic faces. This energy centre is seen as the gateway to transcendence.

The polyhedron above can be seen as the vertex-first projection of a tesseract below:

Another way to visualise the hypercube is the orthographic projection:

The octagon above secretly features three nested octagrams (888) or transcendence. Religion refers to this shape as the Crown of Thorns or the Seal of Melchizedek. Melchizedek is seen in Genesis as “a priest of the highest God” and the “King of Salem.” This word translates to “‘peace,” making Melchizedek the “King of Peace.”

The Crown of Thorns is an enduring symbol of sacrifice, suffering and resurrection. Its powerful message encourages us to embrace humility, selflessness and perseverance in our spiritual journey. By understanding the sacred geometry within the hypercube, we can better appreciate its impact on our lives as we grow ever closer to grace (balance).

The Melchizedek Priesthood is a universal order of service that works across the galaxy. Having made a major contribution to the development of consciousness upon this planet, they are like roving ambassadors of spiritual education, teaching the geometry of life.

Another way to join a cube and an octahedron is the cuboctahedron. As the dual of the rhombic dodecahedron, the cuboctahedron is the only polyhedron in which the distance between the centre and the vertexes is the same as the length of the edges. In other words, it has the same length vectors in 3D space, known as vector equilibrium. In this sense the cuboctahedron is perfectly balanced.

This means that its long diameter (vertex to opposite vertex) is two edge lengths. Its centre is like the apical vertex of a canonical pyramid: one edge length away from all the other vertices. This radial equilateral symmetry is a property of only a few uniform shapes including the hexagon, the cuboctahedron and the tesseract.

In 3D, this polygon forms 13 balls (one in the middle surrounded by 12 others). This can be explored in this number sequence which implies the Flower of Life. This is the master blueprint of the universe and balances the metaphysical with the physical. Life becomes transcendent when it activates the prism that we call the Philosopher’s Stone.
