The Dodecahedron: God Used This Solid

Earlier, it was pointed out that Plato suggested that God used the dodecahedron "for the whole universe, embriodering figures on it". Up to now, it would appear that he had used Metatron's Cube, as we have seen the rhombus, the Star of David, and the Tree of Life, all embedded in that figure; but let us now take a closer look at the dodecahedron.

This figure is a pentakis dodecahedron, which is generated by subdividing the pentagonal faces of a regular dodecahedron. You triangulate it by adding a new vertex at the center of each face and connecting it to each of the surrounding vertices. This produces a figure composed of 60 triangles, rather than the old one with 12 pentagonal faces. I am using this figure, instead of a regular dodecahedron because the features are exaggerated.

In the image below (left), the equilateral triangles have been bisected by additional lines that connect the new vertices that were created at the centers of the faces. Note that this produces 120, 30-60-90 triangles, and our old friend the rhombus. Notice how, in this image, the centers of the pentagonal faces are "raised" so that a straight line connects them, and adjacent equilateral triangles form rhombus that are flat, not bent. This figure is composed of 30 of these rhombus, which connect the centers of the pentagonal faces.

          

At first glance, we see the triangulated pentagonal faces of the dodecahedron are still clearly visible; and then we see a hexagon overlapping a pentagon (middle above), just like in the Metatron's Cube. You may recall that these two figures (pent and hex) mark nine of the 11 points (including Daath) on the Tree of Life; and by adding a few lines (above right), we can see that too.

The (A-shaped) Tree of Life Maps to the Dodecahedron

The tree comprises one-fifth of the dodecahedron; that is, five a-shaped trees cover it. As you can see (below), the tree on the dodecahedron is made of a triangle (yellow) that is one fifth the "top" pentagon, a whole pentagon (red), two half pentagons (blue) and another triangle that is one fifth of the "bottom" pentagon.

The image of the tree that we have of being a flat surface, can now be seen as a "curved" element of the 3D dodecahedron.
