The Flower of Life

When spirit or “resonant light” creates, it manifests the circle as the simplest of shapes. Then it draws another in a binary pattern:

This image is reflected in the divisions of cells during human conception. The first key shape is the triquetra which is the simplest form of a flower and the genesis of consciousness:

This is the rebirth of Seshat—she governs time. By continuing this sequence, six circles can be drawn over the first, to make seven. And on the seventh day SHE rested.

By continuing this pattern we eventually arrive at the Flower of Life:

Originally known as the Flower of Eset, this representation of the divine blossoms inside you. It connects us all individually into a giant web of life, light and energy. As a single cell inside your mother’s womb you began to divide, moving through many of the forms in sacred geometry until you develop into a fully adult human.

The Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt contains the oldest known examples of the Flower of Life. They date back as far as 9,125 BCE. It appears as if they were burned into the granite. Other examples can be found in Phoenician, Assyrian and Indian cultures.
