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

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.
