Platonic Solids
The 5 Platonic Solids
2,500 years ago, Pythagoras, who lived contemporary to Buddha, surmised that all atomic structure was based on 5 humble and unique shapes, in the way they nested, one within the other, like Russian Dolls. In fact, Buddha has been recorded, during one of his deep meditations, as describing the atom as 8-sided, known then as “Acta Kalapas” meaning “8 Atoms” which fits in nicely with the 8 corners of the Cube.

There are only 5 possible shapes in the universe of creation that Pythagoras defined as being a Platonic Solid.
Platonic Solids had to obey the following 3 conditions:
1 – The shape must fit inside of a sphere ie: the all the corners or vertices are touching the inside of the sphere.
2 – The shape must have all its faces or polygons the same (eg, triangles or squares or pentagons or hexagons etc) thus all their angles are the same.
3 – The shape must have every edge length being the same.
The 5 shapes are:
1 – Tetrahedron (4 triangles, 6 vertices, 6 edges)
2 – Cube (6 squares, 8 vertices, 12 edges)
3 – Octahedron (8 Triangles, 6 vertices, 12 edges)
4 – Icosahedron (20 triangles, 30 vertices, 20 edges
5 – Dodecahedron (12 Pentagons, 20 vertices, 30 edges)
These five Platonic Solids exist also in the biological world. They exist as single celled planktons called Radiolaria, which when dying leave an exo-skeleton in the precise shape of these 5 Solids.

The Elements of Platonic Solids
The 5 Elements of Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Ether,
the latter or 5th Element which alchemically combines the 4,
relate to the 5 and only 5 Platonic Solids,
those unique polygonal shapes that fit inside the sphere,
having equal edges, faces and angles.
The 108 Academy make it a priority to educate people on
the significance of this lost Pythagorean knowledge,
these shapes store the memory of all that was, is and will be.

I think youve created some truly interesting points. Not as well many people would actually think about this the way you just did. Im genuinely impressed that theres so much about this topic thats been uncovered and you did it so nicely, with so considerably class. Excellent one you, man! Really terrific stuff right here.
