I believe that it is the visibility of higher dimensional forms within Metatron’s cube that is the key to its importance. Why is Metatron’s Cube one of the most important geometries ? Here is a quote from the book ‘Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism’ – “This Enoch, whose flesh was turned to flame, his veins to fire, his eye-lashes to flashes of lightning, his eye-balls to flaming torches, and whom God placed on a throne next to the throne of glory, received after this heavenly transformation the name Metatron”. There is also a tradition that Metatron is the prophet Enoch. That he sits on a throne in the presence of God implied to many that he was virtually God’s equal. In fact Metatron’s name seems to be made from two Greek words, after and throne, μετὰ θρóνος ( meta thronos). According to Hebraic mysticism, he is the highest of the Archangels, the scribe of God who is privileged to sit closest to the throne of divinity.
Metatron is associated with the 4 Archangels of the elements and directions: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel – and in this sense he is the angel of Spirit and the Center. There is much wisdom to be gleaned by going deeper into the story of Metatron and the link between Angels, and higher dimensional geometry. Who is Metatron and why is this design called his Cube? Even some 4 dimensional forms are there such as the hypercube, hyper-tetrahedron, and hyper-octahedron ! it is a very simple and aesthetically pleasing pattern made of 13 circles and the lines that join all their centres.īeing a 2 dimensional design it is obviously not a 3 dimensional cube, but it does contain the outline or shadow, (technically ‘projections’), of many 3 dimensional forms. It is widely noted that the forms of the 3D Platonic solids, the tetrahedron, octahedron, and cube, can be found in the lines of Metatron’s Cube.Ī close approximation of the remaining two Platonic solids the Icosa and Dodecahedron is also there. Therefore an obvious starting point for exploring the tradition of Angels and Sacred Geometry is the well known design called ‘Metatron’s Cube’. Metatron:: Metatron is the name of one of the highest angels in the Judeo-Christian pant heon.
In fact it is important to realize that the geometry of solid objects is but the manifest consequences of the natural patterns of energetic fields in space and time. Geometry:: Tradition says that the language of the Angels is Geometries of ‘Light’, and in more modern terminology we might say ‘geometries of Electromagnetic Radiation’. If you wish you may think of angels as metaphorical personifications of aspects of divinity, but please do not be surprised if like all archetypes they have a volition of their own. Higher Dimensions and Metatron’s Cube Īngels:: Leaving aside the naive concept of angels as beautiful, spiritually advanced, humanoid beings with wings … there is a universal archetype that manifests in all human cultures, that of semi-divine intelligences that interact with human beings and mediate between us and the unfathomable inconceivable magnificence of the Source of all existence and intelligence.
