The 8 Directions and 8 Dimensions
The 8 Directions and The 8 Dimensions
8 is highly esoteric number symbolizing polarity in union. A set of 8 base aspects universally represents a set of essential energies from which comprehension begins and from which increased variation results. These sets of 8 are often polarized in four pairings and occasionally are sets of an overt seven with a more subtle eighth part.
8 is symbolic for the unity of microcosmic and the macrocosmic. The microcosm of our self is constituted in this manner. Our very inner physical and esoteric makeup is formatted exactly in the same manner as what is largely a philosophical, perceptive understanding, as we shall explore. Our inner essential energy, our very blood, can be four main types in positive and negative pairings for a total of 8 polarized blood types. Additional measures reveal more sub-types, but our very essence, our blood is based on four types; A, B, AB, and O, each being either RH Positive or RH Negative.
The macrocosm of our planet and even the universe, though to different magnitudes and angles than here on Earth, operates under the universal law that spheres in orbit of other spheres will result in a duality of polarity of time annually. All across creation there are four seasons, two equinoxes and two solstices. The four seasons results in a spiraling 8 pattern of the sun in the sky when observed annually as below. The four results in an 8 shape, infinitely. This natural occurrence is called the analemma and a replication of the naturally occurring shape was long used to calculate the date.
Hermes is derived from Hermopolis. Hermopolis was Khemenu which means 8 Town, or City of 8. The City of 8 was the center of Thoth’s worship, but the 8 refers to the Ogdoad of Neters. These ancient Egyptian primal gods are actually more specifically four pairs of masculine and feminine couples. Deeper still The Ancient Egyptian concept of the soul describes 8 immortal parts encapsulated within the mortal physical body, being the ninth mortal part.
I am Two that transforms into Four
I am Four that transforms into Eight
After this I am One
~Coffin of Petamon, Cairo
In the primary Buddhist comprehension there are four aspects to problematic being. And there 8 aspects to the solution. The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism are based on the four sufferings of life; birth, sickness, old age, death. The Four Noble Truths state there is suffering, there is cause to suffering (desire), there is solution to suffering (ending desire), and there is a path to this solution. And that path is known as The Noble Eightfold Path. The Noble Eightfold Path is symbolized in The Wheel of Dharma, dharma meaning life lessons essentially.

There is also The Chakana Cross of Inca and Andean people. The Chakana Cross symbolizes a bridge between the individual and the universal via 8 elements. Chakana means to cross or to bridge and it is said to symbolize The Southern Cross constellation which was believed to be the center of the universe to the Inca and Andean people who celebrated The Chakana.
The Chakana is a deep symbol with many layers to it and though we must be careful to not place meaning where there was not necessarily such, however the correspondences via the 8 directions and 8 dimension symbolism is highly provocative and inspirational.
The Hunub Ku is a Mayan symbol of possible relationship to The Chakana. The oldest mention of The Hunub Ku of The Mayan people, was during colonialization in The 16th century, so its exact origins and how it may have been potentially integrated with other ideas remains uncertain. The first image of it is in The Codex Magliabechliano. Hunub Ku means the one god.
What is the meaning of all this correspondence of the 8 elements and elemental lessons? The meaning is certainly found within you, for you. However, in my opinion the individual sets stand on their own as modalities for progression of character and individuation. And equally the lessons from one set or another reveal things which were perhaps elusive or mysterious about another set when contemplated via their shared 8 direction and 8 dimension correspondence. It is apparent that there is inspiration toward individuation in each of the symbols for everyone as well as clear ideas for situational clarity and decision making.
It is possible the frequency of the correspondence of 8 directions and 8 dimensions just exemplifies how we think. And it is also possible it shows that the idea is somehow universal and yet decipherable in individualistic ways. Perhaps, that is part of the personability of the symbolism that we relate to and which inspires us. The 8 elements is a compass of comprehension to be used towards your ascension – as you decide and direct, but based on universal principles. With the 8 elements we can plot our course to not only be in the right place but to be placed right via understanding of the 8 directions and 8 dimensions.
