Seed of Life The Flower of Life is one of the basic sacred geometry shapes. The Flower of Life starts with the Seed of Life shape: 7 overlapping circles that build outward, forming a flower-like pattern that has been used since ancient times in many cultures around the world. Said to be the basic template for everything in existence; all geometric forms can be found within it, including sacred geometry shapes like the Platonic Solids, Metatron’s Cube, and the Merkaba. The Flower of Life symbolizes creation and reminds us of the unity of everything: we’re all built from the same blueprint. The symbol, the Flower of Life has been described as “the visual expression of the connections of life that run through all sentient beings”. Rooted in the Seed of Life’s meaning is a school of thought referred to as Sacred Geometry. According to Sacred Geometry, patterns in nature are viewed from a mathematical viewpoint and they have broad implications. The “sacred” part is a belief that these patterns, their mathematical formulas, and their structure are evidence of divine planning and creation. For followers of Sacred Geometry, the Seed of Life symbol contains the building blocks for existence. For those who believe in the divine creation of the Universe, the first step began with the creation of an octahedron. An octahedron is a shape that has eight faces, 12 edges, and six vertices. According to Sacred Geometry, a divine creator built the shape and then spun it on its axis like a top. From there, a sphere began to form, which held the consciousness of the Creator. The Creator then made a second sphere, which intersected with the first. The two spheres are represented by a symbol called a vesica piscis. Followers of Sacred Geometry believe these spheres were the blueprint for more complex structures, which formed life and the Universe. From the two spheres, the Creator added a third sphere that interconnected with the first two, and then a fourth, a fifth, and so on. This creation, leading to seven interconnected spheres, which are illustrated in the Seed of Life Symbol, coincide with the story of creation in the Book of Genesis. ⏬ https://www.instagram.com/p/CWd9bBCIBz8/?utm_medium=tumblr
