Introduction
The "Flower of Life" can be found in all major religions of the world. It contains the patterns of creation as they emerged from the "Great Void". Everything is made from the Creator's thought.
After the creation of the Seed of Life the same vortex's motion was continued, creating the next structure known as the Egg of Life. This structure forms the basis for music, as the distances between the spheres is identical to the distances between the tones and the half tones in music. It is also identical to the cellular structure of the third embryonic division (The first cell divides into two cells, then to four cells then to eight). Thus this same structure as it is further developed, creates the human body and all of the energy systems including the ones used to create the Merkaba.
The flower of life holds a secret symbol created by drawing 13 circles out of the Flower of Life. By doing this, one can discover the most important and sacred pattern in the universe. This is the source of all that exists; it's called the Fruit of Life. It contains 13 informational systems. Each one explains another aspect of reality. Thus these systems are able to give us access to everything ranging from the human body to the galaxies. In the first system, for example, it's possible to create any molecular structure and any living cellular structure that exists in the universe. In short every living creature.
The most common form of the "Flower of Life" is hexagonal pattern (where the center of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter), made up of 19 complete circles and 36 partial circular arcs, enclosed by a large circle.
The "Seed of Life" is formed from seven circles being placed with sixfold symmetry, forming a pattern of circles and lenses, which acts as a basic component of the Flower of Life's design.
The Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt contains the oldest to date example. it is carved in granite and may possibly represent the Eye of Ra a symbol of the authority of the pharaoh. Other examples can be found in Phoenician, Assyrian, Indian, Asian, Middle Eastern, and medieval art.
Flower of life made of intersecting spheres instead of circles.
If we continue creating more and more spheres we will end up with the structure called the Flower of Life.

Leonardo da Vinci has studied the Flower of Life's form and its mathematical properties. He has drawn the Flower of Life itself, as well as components therein, such as the Seed of Life.
He has drawn geometric figures representing shapes such as the platonic solids, a sphere, a torus, etc., and has also used the golden ratio of phi in his artwork; all of which may be derived from the Flower of Life design.
Sacred Geometry - Flower of Life

I believe the complete ancient flower of life is an inter-dimensional tool, a portal, a stargate, a window into what some call the inter space plains. The original flower of life (found on several pillars within "the Osireion" at Abydos in Egypt) is incomplete, because it is only the first layer of three (pic1+2).
1. Flower of Life carved on a temple wall2. The Flower of Life set in stone at the Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt.The complete flower has the other two layers added, making it three dimensional (pic3). If you relax (sit three feet away from the screen) and let the flower slowly draw your eyes out of focus, the flower will open. Try and not focus on any one point, blankly stare, take the flower in as a whole. You may get a headache and itchy eyes, this will quickly disappear.We do not see with our eyes, we see through our eyes. Let your mind focus, don't fight it.3. Flower of life with two layers added.
What appears is a reptilian entity.This creature is very frightening and fierce looking, but I can assure you it can do you no harm. I know this sounds mad, but it is true and very real. After you get used to interacting with the reptilian, you can move on to the next entity.To interact with the second being you must rotate the flower by 30 degrees and repeat the steps.Flower of Life - Beijing, China
The second being is the Chinese dragon ( the fu dog). This creature is even more frightening than the first, so be prepared. Again, this creature cannot harm you in anyway. Somehow these entities are in suspended animation. They are real but they do not and cannot move. I know within freemasonry, they call the first entity "the khaibit man". You need to have been initiated into the 10th degree to be aware of the khaibit man. As part of the initiation into the 10th degree, the khaibit man is conjured up in front of you.I am not a freemason, but my father has been a freemason for over 40 years.
He has been through the 10th degree. When I made this discovery and drew the complete flower, I was living in Edinburgh. I phoned my father who was living at home in Kirkwall on the Orkney isles. When I told my father what I had seen, he could not believe what I was saying. He told me that the only way I could know what I was telling him was if I had been through the 10th degree.
Obviously I'm not a mason and hadn't been through the 10th, so from that day on my father has told me everything he knows about freemasonry. He also told me that his granny (my great granny Fox) told him when he was 16 years old, that someday one of his children would discover something that would affect the whole world.
He is now convinced that the complete flower is this discovery.You may know that the complete flower contains the kabbalah`s tree of life, the fruit, the egg and the seed of life (pic. 4 & 5).
4. The Kabbalah Tree of Life derived from the Flower of Life.5. The Kabbalah Tree of Life derived from the Flower of Life.The complete flower also contains the three dimensional metatron cube (pic6), which holds all the Platonic solids (pic7). Not just the building blocks of life, but the building blocks of creation itself.
6. Metatron Cube7. Platonic SolidsI found this symbol on a knights templar tombstone (pic. 9), found within the St Magnus cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney (pic. 8).
8. St Magnus cathedral in Kirkwall9. Knights Templar tombstone from St Magnus cathedral in KirkwallI believe this symbol is a representation of the egg of life (pic.10),which is the second rotation of the first layer of the complete flower of life (pic. 11).
10. The egg of life (left)11. The second rotation of the first layer of the complete flower of life (right)I was born and bred and now live back in Kirkwall. At no time did I ever get taught at school, that there was any knights templars who came from or to Orkney.For whatever reason, the computer generated flower (pic. 12) does not work for the contemplation. It does contain all Freemasonry's sacred symbols.
12. A computer generated version of the complete flowerI thought I'd add this picture as you will recognize the pattern (pic13).
13. Pattern of snake's skinThe complete flower of life does have another use. If you overlay a map (after getting the correct scale) with the complete flower of life, all sacred sites, standing stones etc, will sit at the centre of six points. This picture gives you idea how the grid looks (pic.14).

Metatron's Cube
The image you see above is the correct version of "Metatron’s Cube", or the fruit of life with the 5 platonic solids. I made it with a 3D program and what you see are the actual edges of the platonic solids.
The dodecahedron and icosahedron actually have their "inner" corner points touching the star tetrahedron that fits in a circle that is = 1/Ø x the circle connecting the corners of the outer cube.
Where Ø ("phi") = 1.618 033 988 749 594 ...
The way to figure out drawing this is by beginning with the normal flower of life "grid" (of 5 non-intersecting inner circles, or in this case: 7 intersecting full circles - left image):
Then draw a circle that is equal to 1/Ø x the outer circle.
For this, put the point of a compass on the middle of the vertical radius (in the centre of the second "flower" from the top along the vertical axis) and draw a circle from where the horizontal axis (through the middle of the circle) cuts the outer circle (see below);
The circle you can draw when you put one point of the compass in the centre of the grid, and draw a circle from where the other circle cuts the vertical axis (through the middle of the circle), is a circle Ø times smaller than the outer circle:
After this, draw the appropriate startetrahedron(s) and you have found all the points necessary to draw the other platonic solids.
Here are all the platonic solids the way they fit in Metatron’s cube:
 Tetrahedron |  Star tetrahedron |
 Cube |  Octahedron |
 Dodecahedron |  Icosahedron |
All platonic solids
Not all solids can be (fully) seen, as some lines are hidden behind others.
 All solids as in metatron’s cube, seen from side |  Here are all the solids of Metatron’s cube. This is what you see in Metatron’s cube from the top, but here it is seen from the (right) side. |
| Classic representation of dodecahdron in tetrahedron | |
 This is a correct version of a dodecahdron in a startetrahedron. It’s a classic representation that is commonly done in a way that is incorrect. |  The corners of the dodecahedron are found by drawing lines from the corners of the big startetrahedron to those of a startetrahedron that is Ø times smaller. . |

Drawing by Drunvalo Melchizedek
Perhaps you can see the rectangle with the triad on top and bottom. It is part of the cube nested within a cube. Metatron’s Cube is the incubator of 3D. It represents a box within a box or a cube nested within a cube.
 The Tesseract Drawing comes from a book published in 1928 titled "Theosophy and the Fourth Dimension" by Alexander Horne. |
The Tesseract represents a process in which one might peer into the fourth dimension. The drawings of the Dodecahedron - Eve’s Grid and the Tesseract are basically the same geometry except that the Tesseract is tilted so you might better define the six sections.
Outlined in red is one of the six sections. The idea is to go into the outlined area and see it as a cube. Once you have visualized being inside the cube, it represents the cube of 4D. Click on the Tesseract to get a larger image for visualization.
It often takes a student several tries to actually get inside the 4D cube. The larger image works much better than the small one. If you have difficulty after a couple of days, perhaps stop for a few days and try again. It took me several attempts to see it the first time.
Seeing the cube within a cube dimensionally leads one to consider the nature of the Holographic model. It has the nature of being exactly the same structure if you were to tear off a piece from the edge. The integrity of the geometry would be maintained infinitely. The image below could be that of the corner you just ripped off the edge.
 Above, we see that the Tree of Life is contained in Metatron’s Cube/Grid. The view above comes from the Seed of Life, therefore metaphorically, the Tree is contained within the seed, and is a fractal property from the beginning. |  Drawing by Drunvalo Melchizedek |
When considering the Flower of life Geometries, keep in mind that curved lines represent female characteristics and straight lines represent male characteristics. The drawing depicts the holographic nature of the male and female character of the grid work and a deeper, more "within" nature, of Metatron’s Cube.
Merkaba Field
"All things throughout our universe seem to follow the same fundamental blueprint or geometric patterns. These geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its virational resonances.They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseperable relationship of the part to the whole. It is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole - a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created."
We call this blueprint "Sacred Geometry".
Sacred Geometry is a term that is used by archaeologists, anthropologists, and geometricians. It includes the religious, philosophical, and spiritual beliefs that have surrounded geometry in many various cultures throughout history.
It covers Pythagorean geometry as well as the relationships between organic curves and logarithmic curves.
The "sacred" aspect of geometry has evolved as a result of different cultures. I have provided five different views of how different cultures have made geometry become sacred. Later, I will explain the meaning of certain numbers, as they play an important role in sacred geometry.
A few examples of sacred sites will also be provided. These examples will provide you with a real sense of how sacred geometry is used in sacred sites.

1. The Ancient GreeksThe ancient Greeks used certain geometrically-derived ratios. In this culture the cube traditionally symbolized kingship and earthy foundations. The Golden Section traditionally symbolized philosophy and wisdom. Therefore, if a building was dedicated to a king it would bear traces of cubic geometry and a building dedicated to a heavenly god would be constructed using Golden Section proportions.
The term "Golden Proportion" is historically the unique geometric proportion of two terms and it is designated by the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet - phi. Phi was known by cultures much older than the Greek. The three-term proportion is a:b :: b:c. That is, a is related to b as b is related to c.
2. The HindusBefore the Hindus erect any type of building, large or small, for religious purposes they first perform a simple geometric construction on the ground. This means that they construct a square from establishing due East and West. It is from this square that they lay out the entire building. The geometric construction is associated by prayers and religious observances.
3. The ChristiansThe cross is used as the major emblem for the Christian religion. In geometrical terms the cross, elaborated in the Medieval period, is the form of an unfolded cube. It was also associated with kingship. Many of the Gothic churches were built by proportions derived from the geometry inherent in the cube or the double-cube. Many Christian churches are still built in this form today.
4. The Ancient EgyptiansThe ancient Egyptians used regular polygons in their construction, but discovered that these polygons could be increased while keeping the ratio of their sides by the addition of a strictly constructed area. This was named the "gnomon" by the Greeks. The god Osiris was given the recognition for the concept of the ratio-retaining expansion of a rectangular area. Egyptians also used the square as a symbol of kingship.
5. The Discovery of Jay HambidgeJay Hambidge was an art historian at Yale during the 1920's. He discovered that the spirals on the Ionic column capitals of ancient Greek temples were laid out by the "whirling rectangle" method for creation of a logarithmic spiral. He did not find any "sacred meaning" for the logarithmic spiral form of the Ionic column capital. However, he did find that the Greek architects purposely constructed their temples according to "whirling rectangle" geometric ratios.
"Mathematics, as the basis of all science, is itself a universal symbolism, a language into which all knowledge is eventually translated and rendered communicable. The key to all knowledge is in the science of numbers."(Sepharial 24)OneOne symbolizes manifestation, assertion, the ego, selfhood and isolation. In the philosophical sense, it represents the synthesis and fundamental unity of things. In a religious sense, it represents the lord. In a material sense, it represents the individual. It is the symbol of the Sun.TwoTwo symbolizes plus and minus, active and passive, male and female, positive and negative and so on. It stands for the dualism of manifested life-God and Nature. It denotes agreement and separation.ThreeThree symbolizes the trinity of life, substance, and intelligence, of force, matter, and consciousness. The family-father, mother, and child.FourFour is the number of reality and concretion. It is the cube or the square. It symbolizes the cross, segmentation, partition, order, and classification.FiveFive represents expansion. It symbolizes inclusiveness, comprehension, understanding, judgment, reason, and logic.SixSix is the number of cooperation. It symbolizes marriage, a link, and connection. Six is the inner action of the spiritual and material. Six also represents art, music, dancing.SevenSeven is the number of completion. It represents time, space, duration, and distance. It also represents old age, death, or endurance, and immortality.EightEight is the number of dissolution. It denotes the law of cyclic evolution, the breaking back of the natural to the spiritual.NineNine is the number of regeneration. A new birth. It represents spirituality, premonition, and voyaging. It also represents penetration, strife, energy, and anger.

The superficial equivalents of the sphere, cone and cube are the circle, the triangle, and the square.
These figures, used in symbolical thought, represent states of consciousness. These figures are related to the numbers 1, 3, 4, which denote God, Humanity, and Nature. One Being is represented as spirit, soul and body.
All geometrical relations are expressions of numerical ratios.
"...we give natural assent to the power of numbers on which, in the Pythagorean concept, the universe is founded."(Sepharial 19)
The circles represents the sun and relates the natural aspects with the spiritual. There is only one sun and therefore, one God who is the universal lord. (The number one.)
Numbers are also associated with colors:
1 - White2 - Yellow or cream3 - Violet4 - Orange or ruddy gold5 - Indigo or dark blue6 - Pale blue or turquoise7 - Silver or opalescence8 - Black or deep brown9- Red or crimson
Examples:
Parthenon
The Parthenon was created by the Greeks. The Greeks believed that everything, form the human body to the entire cosmos, was governed by an order accessible to human reason.
The Parthenon was created as a temple for Athena Parthenos. It is located at the top of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built to house a huge gold and ivory statue of the goddess Athena.
|  |
The Parthenon is known as a geometrical masterpiece. It is very pleasing to the eye due to the unique architecture. The lines that are perceived as horizontals in fact are curved upward in the middle. The platform upon which the columns of the temple stand is slightly curved on all four sides. All of the columns are tilted inward slightly, and are placed closer together toward the corners of the building.
The geometrical aspect of the Parthenon is also very interesting. If you add the number of Columns on the front and then multiply them by 2 and add 1 you will get the number of columns on each side. (8x2 = 16, 16+1 = 17) This is said to be geometrically proportional. It is interesting that the number of columns chosen for the front was eight.
Eight also represents the infinity symbol and looks like a spiral. The spiral is important when discussing aspects of the Golden Mean because the spiral helps describe the Golden Mean logarithmic spiral. I have previously given the sunflower as an example. The sunflower has 55 clockwise spirals overlaid onto either 34 or 89 counterclockwise spirals. We recognize these numbers as part of the Fibonacci Series, which is generated by Phi.

Newgrange, Ireland
Newgrange was built around 3,200 BCE. It is a circular mound of earth and stone and is about 250 feet in diameter.
The interior is solid, but there is a single stone-lined passage that is 62 feet long and 3 feet wide.
This passage terminates close to the center of the mound in a main chamber with a corbelled vault 20 feet high and three recessed chambers.
|
The entrance of Newgrange incorporates a "roof box" that allows the sun, at sunrise on the morning of the winter solstice on December 21, to enter the interior. The sun penetrates the full length of the interior passage all the way to the main chamber.
It is interesting to me that Newgrange was choosen to be a circle and that the sun plays a very important role in its architecture. As I have stated previously, The circle represents the sun and relates the natural aspects with the spiritual. There is only one sun and therefore, one God who is the universal lord. This also represents the number one.
