And the continuation of the story. In the eighth volume, I had already made this star out of four cubes — a cube turned in different directions. There were four cubes in total: the main one and three more, in different directions. And when I was assembling this model by hand, by myself — and just imagine, each matrix, that is, each cube, I would glue together with all its insides, and then duplicate, and spin it out in different directions — everything you see above. That is, I was assembling this model physically, by myself. And as I was assembling all of this, I saw that, because of the internal crosses, a sphere is formed. And I even came to the conclusion that one of the geometric figures is a circle, or a sphere. And then I even saw that this fits very well with many icons — when a person is depicted with an eight-pointed star, as the symbol of the eight-pointed star. And likewise, it also fit with the orb that had formed inside. And all of this was formed thanks to the four cubes. To explain the alchemy of this further: this came out the way it did because each cube contains within itself two tetrahedra — that is, two three-dimensional triangles inserted into one another. This star is also called the Merkaba. Essentially, it is two triangles, two tetrahedra, in one cube. If we have four cubes, and in each there are two tetrahedra, it turns out that we have eight tetrahedra — which are spun out and folded into one another in different directions, from which they form a star. But besides the fact that we have two tetrahedra in each cube, we also have one octahedron in each cube. An octahedron is a kind of pyramid pointing up and down, like a rhombus. This geometric figure — this star — I like more than what I presented above. That is, when the cube is spun out in different directions like a star — that is, of course, beautiful, but it’s even more beautiful when you can, since all of this is the foundation of this matrix, remove, let’s say, all the edges of the cubes, and leave only all the tetrahedra, and see how they are all arranged, and what kind of star they form. Or you can leave all the rhombi, that is, the octahedra, and see what kind of star comes out of that. And to me, the star I like most is the one made of octahedra. It comes out very beautifully. When you have turned the cubes in different directions like that — four cubes — and they have, it turns out, four octahedra inside them. And when these are turned in this way, what comes out is a very beautiful, symmetrical star.
