In the last newsletter I wrote about a mystic experience I had ten years ago. The experiences lead me to the insight that if the creation state is unity it cannot experience itself (no relation to anything). From this I concluded that the purpose of creation is to experience itself and to understand itself. In my research I was looking for a shape that will fully capture that idea.
My journey led me to the ancient Greek philosophers which claimed that the nature of reality is mathematical and geometrical. They understood that it was possible to reach harmony and understand creation through math and geometrical laws. The secrets of the Golden Mean, the five platonic solids and the 13 Archimedean solids, these shapes and mathematical geometrical laws were encrypted in the works of leading artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Albrecht Durer.
One specific art piece drew my attention. It was the Portrait of Luca Pacioli from 1495; he appears pointing towards a board with a sketch of one of Euclid’s geometrical proofs. In the picture Luca is observing a glass made Rhombicuboctahedron half filled with water. On the table next to it appears a dodecahedron. When I observed the picture deeply I understood that I found the symbol I was looking for…
