hello group,
after reading david's latest article i decided to build the
octahedral structure of the universe with my magsz toys and came to
some revelations of my own. after completing the structure which
consisted of 19 octahedrons which combined to form a larger
octahedron. i then opened up "the secret teachings of all ages" to
the section on pythagoras and noticed that each side of the structure
formed the tetractys. to the pythagoreans the tetractys revealed the
mystery of universal nature. the tetractys also symbolized the
number 10 (1+2+3+4) which the pythagoreans attributed the great
number of all things, the archetype of the universe. the decad was
called both heaven and the world, because the former includes the
latter. i posted a picture of the structure in the photo section
with the magz toys. i hope it is of some help.
peace
mikey
