Flower of Life. Occurrences of the ornament[edit] The Flower of Life symbol drawn in red ochre Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt Abydos (Egypt)[edit] Possibly five patterns resembling the Flower of Life can be seen on one of the granite columns of the Temple of Osiris in Abydos, Egypt, and a further five on a column opposite of the building. They are drawn in red ochre and some are very faint and hard to distinguish.[3] As a New Age symbol[edit] The New York Times quoted a New Age artist as saying, "The Flower of Life has been found in sacred sites throughout the world.

Sacred Geometry; The Flower of Life. Introduction Sacred geometry may be understood as a worldview of pattern recognition, a complex system of hallowed attribution and signification that may subsume religious and cultural values to the fundamental structures and relationships of such complexes as space, time and form. According to this discipline, the basic patterns of existence are perceived as sacred: for by contemplating and communing with them one is thereby contemplating the Mysterium Magnum, the patterning relationships of the Great Design. By studying the nature of these patterns, forms and relationships and their manifold intra- and interconnectivity one may gain insight into the scientific, philosophical, psychological, aesthetic and mystical continuum. That is, the laws and lore of the Universe. The term sacred geometry is also used for geometry which is employed in the design of sacred architecture and sacred art. Leonardo da Vinci has studied the Flower of Life's form and its mathematical properties. 1. 2. 3.
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. Sacred Geometry: Flower of Life. Sacred Geometry - Flower of Life By Andrew Monkman 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 wall The Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt. 2. The complete flower has the other two layers added, making it three dimensional (pic3). 3.

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. 5. The complete flower also contains the three dimensional metatron cube (pic6), which holds all the Platonic solids (pic7). 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Tetractys. The tetractys The tetractys (Greek: τετρακτύς), or tetrad,[1] is a triangular figure consisting of ten points arranged in four rows: one, two, three, and four points in each row, which is the geometrical representation of the fourth triangular number. As a mystical symbol, it was very important to the secret worship of the Pythagoreans. Pythagorean symbol[edit] A prayer of the Pythagoreans shows the importance of the Tetractys (sometimes called the "Mystic Tetrad"), as the prayer was addressed to it.
"Bless us, divine number, thou who generated gods and men! O holy, holy Tetractys, thou that containest the root and source of the eternally flowing creation! For the divine number begins with the profound, pure unity until it comes to the holy four; then it begets the mother of all, the all-comprising, all-bounding, the first-born, the never-swerving, the never-tiring holy ten, the keyholder of all".[3] The Pythagorean oath also mentioned the Tetractys: nature's eternal fountain and supply, Pentagon. In geometry, a pentagon (from pente and gonia, which is Greek for five and angle) is any five-sided polygon.
A pentagon may be simple or self-intersecting. The sum of the internal angles in a simple pentagon is 540°. A pentagram is an example of a self-intersecting pentagon. Regular pentagons[edit] In a regular pentagon, all sides are equal in length and each interior angle is 108°. The area of a regular convex pentagon with side length t is given by A pentagram or pentangle is a regular star pentagon. When a regular pentagon is inscribed in a circle with radius R, its edge length t is given by the expression Derivation of the area formula[edit] The area of any regular polygon is: where P is the perimeter of the polygon, a is the apothem. With t as the given side length. And then, we combine the two terms to get the final formula, which is: Derivation of the diagonal length formula[edit] Accordingly: Chords from the circumscribing circle to the vertices[edit] Richmond's method[edit] . 6a. 7a.
Pentagram. A pentagram inscribed in a circle, also known as a pentacle A pentagram (sometimes known as a pentalpha or pentangle or a star pentagon) is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes. The word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon),[1] from πέντε (pente), "five" + γραμμή (grammē), "line".[2] The word "pentacle" is sometimes used synonymously with "pentagram"[3] The word pentalpha is a learned modern (17th-century) revival of a post-classical Greek name of the shape.[4] Cultural significance[edit] Early history[edit] In early (Ur I) monumental Sumerian script, a pentagram glyph served as a logogram for the word ub, meaning "corner, angle, nook; a small room, cavity, hole; pitfall" (this later gave rise to the cuneiform sign UB 𒌒, composed of five wedges, further reduced to four in Assyrian cuneiform ).

Line segments in the golden ratio In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. The figure on the right illustrates the geometric relationship. Expressed algebraically, for quantities a and b with a > b > 0, The golden ratio is also called the golden section (Latin: sectio aurea) or golden mean.[1][2][3] Other names include extreme and mean ratio,[4] medial section, divine proportion, divine section (Latin: sectio divina), golden proportion, golden cut,[5] and golden number.[6][7][8] Some twentieth-century artists and architects, including Le Corbusier and Dalí, have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio—especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio—believing this proportion to be aesthetically pleasing (see Applications and observations below).
