"We went through five Adams before we figured that out."
The other day, I was thinking that the world map for the New Super Mario Bros. game for the DS resembled the Tree of Life, or Sephirot, and that got me googling.
Some people see a broken tesseract in the Sephirot.
He mused the graphic over. "Very elegant. The sephiroth do resemble a broken hypercube. In Kabbalah, that is what is known as 'the Fall'."
"Yes, we've discussed this before. The lowest 3 sephirah of the middle column form a phallus that enters the vaginus of the other 7 -- the origins of what Crowley called 'sex magic'."
Then there's Metatron's Cube, from sacred geometry. Metatron's Cube contains the five platonic solids in one drawing, and to make it even cooler, it's calculated off of Phi, the golden ratio. Look hard enough and you can see it as a cube-within-a-cube with the pointed ends angled so they're head-on.
In the process of this googling, I found a resource called Psyche's Links: 15000++ Links to Esoteric Subjects on the Web, wherein I found the previous link and some other interesting things.
Bruce Rawles' Sacred Geometry Homepage has lots of good information, heavy on the geometry, light on the mumbo-jumbo.
And, of course, there's an indispensable MathWorld page on the hypercube.
