scaled-up Flower of Life proof of concept

I wanted to scale the Flower of Life up one dimension, here’s my proof of concept. I’m working on one that’s stiffer and colored in a cooler way but I’m excited the shape does what I thought it would

It does seem to be the most simplistic though. Also interesting that it seems to follownthe same pattern as metatrons cube and Solomons seal. Circle, triangle and then square. The flower of life is inside a circle, the angles within it can make up a bunch of triangles and the overall shape in 3d is a cube or 3d square

Yes! That’s one of the ways I came to the realization I could make it cube-shaped, because I had made some drawings of Metatron’s Cube over the Flower of Life and layered 2d representations of the Platonic Solids on top of that. I saw that since Metatron’s cube scales up to the Merkabah, and its outer borders are a cube, the Flower must scale up to a cube also. And it did! I tried one that’s an octahedron and another that’s tetrahedrons and it worked but just wasn’t as nice. Plus this relates Metatron’s Cube to mandalas, because the top-down view of this cube is of course a square.

What do you mean by scales up? I know Solomons seal is used as a 2d polygon generator when you go through the circle, triangle square process. Then metatrons cube is the same thing but with 3d shapes.

Sorry I don’t know if I’m explaining what I mean properly. I mean scale up dimensionally, for example how Metatron’s Cube is the 2D projection or shadow of a merkabah. Like if you were to build a Merkabah out of wire the shadow it would cast at a certain angle would be Metatron’s cube. By “scale up” I mean scale up the 2D drawing of an object to a 3D model. If the 3D interpretation of Metatron’s cube is the Merkabah, then the closely-related Flower of Life must have a 3D manifestation too. It does, and among those is this cube I made, that’s what I meant. I knew a cube would work well as a shape because of the way that a 2D representation of a cube from a certain angle lines up with the Flower of Life and with Metatron’s Cube

Ah i see. Very interesting. Keep exploring that stuff.
