Tetractys of the Decad: One, two, three and four in union; musica universalis - Unity; Dyad; Harmony; Kosmos. And too, the dimensions: One - a point; two - a line, Three - a surface, triangular, Four - a volume, tetrahedral. "By that pure, holy, four lettered name on high, nature's eternal fountain and supply, the parent of all souls that living be, by him, with faith find oath, I swear to thee"

Tetrahedron: A Fire ablaze, deep within. Of four faces - Equilateral triangles. Cube: The roots in Earth. Evenly even, With six square faces. "The symmetrical solids were regarded by Pythagoras as of the greatest importance. To be perfectly symmetrical, or regular, a solid must have an equal number of faces meeting at each of its angles, and these faces must be regular polygons. Pythagoras, perhaps, may be credited with the great discovery that there are only five such solids." Symbolically, These solids have significance. To the Greek mind of the time, The conclusion was inevitable - The shapes of the elements: Air, fire, earth and water, Possess particles, Whose shapes are the Pythagorean solids. Octahedron: A gale in the Air. Of eight faces - Equilateral triangles. Icosahedron: The deep, foreboding Waters. Of twenty faces - Equilateral triangles. "The Dodecahedron was, to the ancient mathematicians, the most mysterious of the solids; it was by far the most difficult to construct, the accurate drawing of the regular pentagon necessitating a rather elaborate application of Pythagoras' great theorem. Hence the conclusion, as Plato put it: "the regular Dodecahedron was employed by the Deity in tracing the plan of the Universe." " Symbolically, These solids have significance. To the Greek mind of the time, The conclusion was inevitable - The shapes of the elements: Air, fire, earth and water, Possess particles, Whose shapes are the Pythagorean solids.

If man inhabits the supreme plane - That is, being abstract and physical - Then the 'self' itself cannot dwell In the world of matter. If the self is defined by the abstract, Then death leaves the soul intact. Hypothetically, The same abstract form in another could be. When a man's eyes close for the last time, His self crosses over the demarcating line, Between the higher and lower planes; A self non-comprehending, without a brain. The "soul" is the character - All parts of the self nondependent on matter. Independently, It exists - unconstrained, free. It can occupy A space in the world - the human mind. But wholly indistinguishable From another, identical. Thus, when we die Our souls can go on to create new life; The qualities that made the "you" Can exist in others too. So take solace in truth: Your death is not the end of you. The body is of lesser form, It shall decay as you live on. Know that you connect not just, In time and space but up above, Too, with all who have displayed, The neural patterns of your brain. Know, too, death is not the end, Just as the soul never began, Take solace in these words, here sung, And know that, O, ye shall live on.

Against the voice of the masses, they fought; Democracy as rule by lynch mob is what they taught. Croton dominated Sybaris to the North, Through the power of mind rather than of the sword, Whence the high elite proposed a democratic constitution, Which itself represented democratic revolution. Pythagoras considered the proposal in his mind, Where he found that the idea was entirely assinine. Vesting power in the masses is known as inefficient, And a great autocracy would be surely beneficient. Then the sun will set over Croton, The folk tire of his ways - of his ways. The greatest mind in all of time, Approaches the end of his days - of his days. Enemies travelled in the dead of night, To the meeting house in Milo, setting it alight. Then the sun will set over Croton, The folk tire of his ways - of his ways. The greatest mind in all of time, Approaches the end of his days - of his days. And so he ran from the burning house, Unto some other place - other place, But he came to a field of beans, And halted in disgrace - in disgrace. Now these men were upon his back, He accepted his fate - his fate. As they struck their swords upon his flesh, His soul would dissipate, His skin now breaks, He shall not wake, The hour is late. The death of a sage.
