Flower of Life

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. If we continue creating more and more spheres we will end up with the structure called the Flower of Life.

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.

Female Energy

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven:

A woman clothed with the sun,

and the moon under her feet,

and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;

and she being with child travailed in birth.

– The Apocalypse of John (1st c. CE)

 

Plutarch

“The work of a maker — as of a builder, a weaver, a musical-instrument maker, or a statuary — is altogether distinct and separate from its author; but the principle and power of the procreator is implanted in the progeny, and contains his nature, the progeny being a piece pulled off the procreator. Since therefore the world is neither like a piece of potter’s work nor joiner’s work, but there is a great share of life and divinity in it, which God from [her]self communicated to and mixed with matter, God may properly be called [Mother] of the world — since it has life in it.”

– Plutarch (1st c. CE, Rome)

 

Einstein

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.”

 

Don’t Be Afraid

“Don’t be afraid of being called unmodern. Changes in the old methods of construction are only allowed if they can claim to bring improvement, otherwise stick with the old ways. Because the truth, even if hundreds of years old, has more inner connection than falsehood which walks beside us.” Adolf Loos, 1913

 

Astrology For The New Year 2010

Use the Light of Jupiter for Inspiration

January 14 ~ New Moon/Solar Eclipse at 11:12 pm PST (at 25°01′ Capricorn).

This first New Moon of decade is also a Solar Eclipse. And what a way to start off! The new energy being ushered in emphasizes your roots and foundations and the direction you are going from here. Looking at where you are standing as you start this decade, and where you want to go, is the first order of business now. As you consider this, ask yourself these questions:

• What do you want to build?
• Where are you headed?
• What seeds to do you need to plant to manifest the life you want?
• What is your purpose?
• What are your strengths and resources to help you?

This is a fresh start! Get focused and get going.

January 15 ~ Mercury stations direct (at 5° 33′ Capricorn) until 4/17/10.

Mercury stationing direct, just after the New Moon/Solar Eclipse, is a perfect combo for initiating things, beginning projects and getting a fresh start. What areas of your life are you seeking new perspectives and different results?

If you got off to a slow start in 2010, maybe you just knew at some level it wasn’t quite time yet to begin those new regimes.

Well, the stars say, the New Year starts now. At least at an energetic level.
