The dodecahedron represents ether, which was originally seen as the cosmic element that held up the stars and planets. Today it is associated with the theory of spacetime, which is mass and energy. It is associated with the third eye and our ability to see what is not visible. 

Dodecahedrons are polygons with 12-equal pentagonal faces. Plato originally saw the dodecahedron as the organizing force of the universe.  Aristotle defined it as the element of ether that he associated with divine thought. 

The dodecahedron inspired the theories of gravity, special relativity, and the equation E=mc2, “Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.”  Mass (matter) and energy are interchangeable, for they are actually different forms of the same thing.

In 1984 and 1985 scientists began experimenting to discover the atomic structure of carbon, which is found in all life forms and some stars. By vaporizing carbon with helium laser beams a new molecular structure was discovered. It is called a truncated icosahedron, and looks like a soccer ball. They named it a fullerene or buckyball for Buckminster Fuller. Its structure combines a dodecahedron (energy and mass) with an icosahedron (water). Fullerenes are considered the galactic seeds of life. This is fascinating considering that these molecular structures were understood over 2500 years ago without the help of microscopes or laser technology. They were seen within the realm of intuitive thought. 

Our third eye reminds us to trust in our ability to combine intuition and imagination with knowledge and thought. The element between the third eye (dodecahedron/ether) and the sacral (icosahedron/water) is the star tetrahedron located in the heart, representing the electromagnetic push pull of love & strife. This reminds us to anchor our creativity and intuition within our heart to discern what is true to our soul. The third eye reminds us of our inherent connection to the cosmos and how our thoughts can impact our vision. 

Message: Intuitive imagination will help us to see that nothing is impossible. It’s important that we trust and believe in our ability to see that which is not visible. We possess the ability to make our heart’s desire a reality by bringing that reality to life in our minds eye.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” – Albert Einstein 

If you liked what you read and want more... you may be interested in having the actual guidebook and card deck. The 134 page full-color book is sold separately from the cards. My goal is to find a publisher who can offer this as a set. In the meantime, you can purchase either the book or cards via these links. Thank you for your support. Laural
