I Am the Icosahedron
_I: 20 Triangular Faces, 12 Nodal Vertices, 30 Linear Edges. Icosahedron. 5 of them towards the north, 5 of them towards the south, 10 in the tropical zone. The Icosahedron is the structure most aligned to the shape of the Earth, the reduced expression of what a Sphere seeks to be.
_AM: The Icosahedron is the structure of the 12 mountains that ascend to the heavens in search of the stars, the centers that raise the vibration of the world. And inside, the 20 creative aspects. The fractals.
_I: What fractals?
_AM: Use your imagination. Each of the 12 nodes ascends, but each of its 20 faces descends into the interior of the Earth like a mirror that reflects infinitely towards the center. Take a triangle, and now draw another one inside it, but inverted, with its points touching the center of each edge. Repeat this as many times as you can until it is impossible to see the smallest one in its center.
_I: It's like an infinite mandala, between the positive and the negative.
_AM: If you look at it from the side, you will see the body of a tornado, of a spiral, like DNA, that gets smaller and smaller, or bigger and bigger. There lies the multidimensionality of the sphere, looking at its 20 directions. But perhaps it is easier for you to imagine it as 20 flowers, with their petals harmoniously arranged, expanding from their center.
_I: The flowers of Life. Why are there 20?
_AM: The easiest way for a human to understand this is through your fingers and toes. 20, right?
_I: Yes…
_AM: Balance. There are two paths in the cosmos, one of expansion and the other of integration. In both, fractal paths are followed: in the expansion path the 3 primary paths are called Vibration, Energy and Matter. In integration, one is for the Mind, another for the Emotion, and another for the Body, that is, when the universe emerges, the vibrations will give rise to the paths of the mind that one day will seek to return to the center of things. The same for the other two round trips. But each of these 3 paths has another 3 within it. Vibration has Rhythm, Melody and Harmony. Energy has Positive, Negative and Neutral. Matter has Electron, Proton and Neutron. All together, they make up one last aspect: the Whole or torus, eternity.
_I: That is to say that the creation process has 9 steps plus one that integrates them. 10 steps.
_AM: And that's just on the way. 3-6-9 add up to 1 in the Universe. And to find that 1, the 9 must return to 6, and from there, to 3. 3,6,9 or 9,6,3 is the code of creation, the basic elements of fractality and vibration. And on their return, they must return to the center. Thus, the Body is divided into High, Wide and Deep, Emotion into Past, Present and Future, and the Mind into Subconscious, Unconscious and Conscious. And all together they unite in the Totality that we call: Being.
_I: 10 going, and 10 returning. The 20 trinities, the 20 flowers of creation.
_AM: In your hands you possess them all. Look at them. In one of your hands there are 5, the quintet of the Forms that you call Platonic Solids: Tetrahedron, Cube, Octahedron, Dodecahedron and Icosahedron. In the other hand, you have the 5 Senses: Vision, Taste, Touch, Hearing and Smell.
_I: And on my feet?
_AM: 5 Basic Colors: Yellow, Red, Blue, Black, White if we see it from matter. And on your other foot, 5 Sounds of the Pentatonic scale.
_I: So, the Icosahedron lives in me, in my ability to create. By using art, music, biology and architecture, I develop my whole self and its potential. The Icosahedron is the creative potential.
_AM: And all that potential, tell me, where does it come from?
_I: …From IAM?
_AM: Be more specific. There is an ocean of possibilities…
_I: …Ocean… Ah, from the Mind, from the Imagination!
_AM: The Icosahedron connects you to the world of ideas, of the infinite and fractal possibilities of Creation. If you know how to use it, and you become it, you become the Creator.
_I: In my ability to walk through life and do things with my hands, the mind becomes matter.
_AM: The invisible air becomes a verb in your voice, and the word becomes action, and the action materializes. The Creative Word, the sound of the wind on your vocal cords, the manifestation of Mind. The Word made Flesh.
_I: Activating the Icosahedron is activating our potential to bring Heaven to Earth, to become Divinities.
_AM: It is the ability to recognize oneself as one of those fractals of God.
_I: Consistency, again. My body must be in harmony with its environment, my soul with its history, and my mind with its thoughts.
_AM: 9…6…3… Light the 20 flowers, BLOOM! and spread the pollen of your flowers, the fruit of your creation, the seeds of your purpose, to the air of the wind of Consciousness.
_I: I am Air!
_AM: I Am the Icosahedron!
