The Flower of Life is a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings, believed to contain a type of Akashic Record (a Sanskrit word meaning "sky", "space" or ether) of basic information of all living things.[5]
There are many spiritual beliefs associated with the Flower of Life; for example, depictions of the five Platonic Solids are found within the symbol of Metatron's Cube, which may be derived from the Flower of Life pattern. Another notable example of that which may be derived from the Flower of Life is the Tree of Life.
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci studied the Flower of Life's form and its mathematical properties. He drew the Flower of Life itself, as well as various components such as the Seed of Life. He drew geometric figures representing shapes such as the platonic solids and also used the golden ratio of phi in his artwork; all of which may be derived from the Flower of Life design.
Geometry means measure of earth. In ancient Egypt, from which the Greek inherited this study, the Nile would flood its banks each year, covering the land and obliterating the orderly markings of plot and farm areas. This yearly flood symbolized to the Egyptians the cyclical return of the primal watery chaos, and when the waters receded the work began of redefining and reestablishing the boundaries. This work of measuring was called geometry. Many ancient cultures chose to examine reality through metaphors of geometry and music, and in actuality they were very close to the position of our most contemporary sciences.
