1. Flower of Life . Connections to Masonry

2. Perspective Setting • Uneducated doesn’t equate to unintelligent or uniformed • Access to formal education wasn’t common • Renaissance in science and thinking • The quest for knowledge may have been the foundation for the establishment of Masonry and is just as relevant today • Did Masons borrow the concept of spiritual enlightment from the ancient Egyptians? • Historic connection of geometry with religion may explain why Masons have adopted geometric allegory

4. Flower of Life • The Flower of Life is the modern name given to a geometrical figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles, that are arranged so that they form a flower-like pattern with a sixfold symmetry like a hexagon. The center of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter. • It is considered by some to be a symbol of sacred geometry, said to contain ancient, religious value depicting the fundamental forms of space and time. In this sense, it is a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings, believed to contain a type of Akashic Record of basic information of all living things. • 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. These platonic solids are geometrical forms which are said to act as a template from which all life springs. • Another notable example of that which may be derived from the Flower of Life is the Tree of Life. This has been an important symbol of sacred geometry for many people from various religious backgrounds. Particularly, the teachings of the Kabbalah have dealt intricately with the Tree of Life.

5. Derived from Nature The great knowledge of the ancients like the Egyptians and Mayas has been derived from nature. These civilizations knew the diameters and relative positions of the stars, planets and our moon. Also their architecture was based on principles of nature. The ancients illustrated the importance of geometry. The geometry is linked to music and our awareness. The application of sacred geometry can be found in the art of the Egyptians and Greeks. The Geometry is used as a blueprint for our cells to grow in a certain direction from embryo to an adult human. Most people are not aware of the fact that this logical type of spirituality is the most profound and has been the most secret throughout the centuries. For the Egyptians, Tibetan's and Maya's spirituality and science where perceived has one. They had a much richer intuitive life and where in contact both with the earth and the cosmos.

6. The Seed of Life • Connection to the Creation of Life • Understanding of cell divisions and reproductive as we know it today probably didn’t exist • 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. • the Seed of Life is a symbol of depicting the seven days of creation in which God created life; The first day is believed to be the creation of the VesicaPiscis, then the creation of the Tripod of Life on the second day, followed by one sphere added for each subsequent day until all seven spheres construct the Seed of Life on the sixth day of Creation. The seventh day is the day of rest, known as the "Sabbath" or "Shabbat."

7. 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, a sphere, a torus, etc., and also used the golden ratio of phi in his artwork; all of which may be derived from the Flower of Life design.

8. The Ancient Secrets of 2012 and Masonry New World Order Tactics • Masons study the ancient geometries of life, very much similar to the Mayans. Given this, they are very much adapt to knowing the secrets of life and are very familiar with the teachings within The Flower of Life.  • Studies have it that the masons (benevolent/charitable as they make us see) are really thought of as the secret government keeping the secret of life and ascension away from us so they can have a new world order by studying ancient geometry and ancient Mayan teachings. They unlocked the secret of surviving 2012 predictions and they do not want the citizens of the world to know • Flower of Life’s main achievement is to make known that we can survive the acts of 2012 by ascension and becoming one with the universe/God, and overpowering the minds of masonry.  • When 2012 is near, all human must be in tuned with their spiritual side in order to survive. 

9. Conclusions • Despite my research, I still can’t figure out what this all means • Did I miss the degree where I was taught the Flower of Life survival knowledge? • Am I a member of a secret government agency? • Will I be part of the New World Order post 2012? • Or is the Flower of Like message a simple representation of the creation of life through cell division? • Maybe geometry is a simply a graphical representation of nature which in turn connects us to a more spiritual place.
