The Flower of Life

The first step in constructing the "pyramid" housing assembly of copper as a working device called the PyramiTroniX Resonator was to identify the "Seed of Life" (or Flower of Life) which begins with a circle (as in a two-dimensional model) or a sphere (as in a three-dimensional model).

According to some religious beliefs the first step in building the Seed of Life was the creation of the octahedron by a divine "creator" (or "God").


 The next step was for the creator to spin the shape on its axes. In this way, a sphere is formed (see diagram). The creator's consciousness is said to exist within the sphere and the only thing that physically exists is the membrane of the sphere itself. This "first step" is not to be confused with the "first day", the latter being in reference to the seven days of creation.


 
Vesica Piscis


The Vesica Piscis is formed from two intersecting circles of the same diameter, where the center of each circle is on the circumference of the opposite circle. Its design is one of the simplest forms of scared geometry. It has been depicted around the world at sacred sites, most notably at the Chalice Well in Glastonbury, England and has been the subject of mystical speculatiomystical period at several periods of history. One of the earliest known occurrences of the Vesica Pisces was among the Pythagoreans who considered it a holy figure as the ichthys fish, which is a Christian  symbol representing "The Son as Jesus the Christ"

Fruit of Life

The "Fruit of Life" symbol is composed of 13 circles taken from the design of the Flower of Life. If each circle's centre is considered a node and each node is connected to each other node with a single line, a total of seventy-eight lines are created, forming a type of cube (Metatron's Cube).


Metatron's Cube is derived from the Fruit of Life and begets the five Platonic solids including a star tetrahedron called a "stellated octahedron

Tree of Life

The symbol of the Tree of Life may be derived from the Flower of Life. The Tree of Life is a concept, a metaphor for common descent, and a motif in various world theologies and philosophies. The Tree of Life is most widely recognized as a concept within the Kabbala.

Drawing the Template

A Flower of Life pattern can be constructed with a pen, compass and the first template is made as a cardboard design to use as a tracing tool that can generalize to other material such as copper by creating multiple series of interlinking circles. From the circles one can create an isosceles  triangle (measured in cm) based on the pi and phi ratios (future blog).
