Metatron’s Cube.
In Sacred Geometry, an archangel named Metatron oversees the flow of Energy in a mystical cube known as Metatron’s Cube, which contains all of the Geometric shapes in Creation and represents the patterns that make up everything God has made. These duties tie in with Metatron’s work overseeing the Tree of Life in Kabbalah, where Metatron sends creative Energy down from the top (the crown) of the Tree toward all the parts of Creation.
As a symbol of how God has made shapes fit together throughout Creation, the cube represents the way people’s bodies and Souls are designed to fit together. The cube represents the three-dimensionality of Space. Within the cube lies the Sphere. The cube represents the body with our third-dimensional Reality, of manifested thought. The Sphere within represents the Consciousness of Spirit within us, or, as is commonly known, our Soul.
Metatron’s cube contains every shape that exists in the Universe, and those shapes are the building blocks of all physical matter, which are known as Platonic Solids (because the philosopher Plato linked them to the Spirit world of Heaven and the physical elements on Earth). Those three-dimensional shapes appear throughout Creation, in all everything from crystals to human DNA.
Metatron’s Cube is a symbol and a tool for personal Transformation. The proper method of gazing at Metatron’s Cube leads to the image called ‘Throne of Glory,’ located at the Heart. In other words, gazing at the ‘Throne of Glory’ means to listen deeply with the ear within the chamber of our Heart so we can connect to the Infinite. In the Kabbalah tradition, the Heart can realize its Nature as the mediator between the power and the beauty inherent in both the Finite and the Infinite. Metatron’s Cube contains many Geometric symbols for the Unity of the Finite with the Infinite.
