Flower of Life
This mystical symbol can be found in almost all major religions in the
entire world. The Flower of Life is said to be over 6,000 years old and
is composed of several concentric, equal, overlapping circles. It is
said to contain vital information on the secrets of the universe and
all living things. The earliest records of this symbol was said to be
found on the alabaster steps that was once parts of the palace of King
Ashurbanipal, and has been dated to 645 BC.
Many spiritual and mystical geometric figures have been drawn from the
pattern of the Flower of Life. The sacred Tree of Life in Kabbalah
teachings, for instance, may be taken from the concentric patterns
within the Flower of Life. Leonardo da Vinci, himself, was able to
derive platonic solids and the golden ratio of phi from the Flower of
Life.
It is believed that there is a secret symbol embedded within the Flower
of Life. This symbol is said to hold the most important and most sacred
patterns of the universe and is the harbinger of all life and
existence—from molecules and atoms to planets and galaxies. Several
other sacred geometry symbols that can be taken from the Flower of Life
are the Tube Torus, the Egg of Life, the Tripod of Life and the Viscera
Pisces, among others.
