In his last writing, the Timaeus, Plato explains that, for the Pythagoreans,
the five platonic bodies formed the building blocks of the cosmos. He also praises Pythagoras for his mathematical genius as he describes the creation of the world and introduces the beautiful image of the harmony of the spheres. Plato explains that these 5 bodies are related to the elements water, fire, earth, air and aether or ‘sky material’.
In 1596, Johannes Kepler published his Mysterium cosmographicum, in Tübin- gen, Germany, at the same university
to which the authors of the writings of the Rosicrucian’s were also connected. He connects the five platonic bodies with the movements of the planets. In addition he is the first to take the idea of Copernicus – the sun as the center of our universe – scientifically as a starting point.
In World images we present creative Brazilian research into the three-dimen- sional mergers of these bodies, and their possible power of expression on the path of a pupil of the Gnosis.
