Flower of Life
Also called: Flower of Life · Seed of Life · Sacred Geometry
A geometric pattern of overlapping circles forming a hexagonal lattice.In this narrative, it is the torus field seen from above, and the same pattern is said to repeat from the pine cone to the crown of the head.
Established facts
The Flower of Life is a geometric pattern of overlapping circles that forms a hexagonal lattice.Draw one circle, then overlap six more of the same size around it, and the basic form appears.Overlapping more circles produces derived figures such as the Seed of Life and the Tree of Life.A trace of this pattern is carved into a temple wall of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt.The exact date it was carved is unknown.In the 1990s, Drunvalo Melchizedek popularized this name and its sacred-geometry interpretation widely.
In this narrativeA torus seen from above
In this narrative, the Flower of Life is the pattern the torus field makes when viewed from above1.Pine cone scales and sunflower seeds are arrayed in this same spiral pattern1.Succulent leaves also grow in this same spiral1.The lotus motif drawn for the crown chakra overlaps this pattern too1.So this picture bundles everything from the pine cone to the crown of the head into one geometry1.
In this narrativeA breathing universe
In this narrative, the spiral is the very movement of life1.The English word "spirit" traces to the root "spir," the same root as "spiral"1.The hyperboloid at the torus's center pulses like an inhale and exhale1.The human nose breathing in and out is read by the same principle1.The face's eyes, nose, ears, and mouth are drawn overlapping specific points of the torus pattern1.Among them, the nose's position connects to the pineal gland1.
In this narrativeVibration gives birth to color
In this narrative, the black light at the pattern's center gives birth to white light1.White light splits again into red and blue1.This cycle is compared to an electron being drawn into a black hole and emerging again as a proton and a neutron1.Hinduism's trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva is also matched to this vibrational cycle1.Freemasonry's black-and-white checkered floor and the yin-yang symbol are read as the same mark of duality1.
Connected concepts
- Torus Field →The cross-section of a torus seen from above is exactly the Flower of Life pattern.
- Pineal Gland →In the torus figure overlaid on the face, the nose's position meets the pineal gland.
- Vibration and Frequency →Two pairs of sine waves are overlaid together on the face and the Flower of Life pattern.
- Yin and Yang →The black and white at the pattern's center sit in the same place as the yin-yang symbol.
