Forming the Flower of Life – Spherical Octahedron

I am going to go through the steps & beliefs in forming the Flower of Life.

The first step when forming the Flower of Life (or Seed of Life) is to begin with a circle (as in a 2D model) or a sphere. This is known as the Spherical Octahedron.

According to some, the first step in building the Seed of Life was the creation of the octahedron by a divine “creator” (or “God”).

The next step was for the creator to spin the shape on its axes.  In this way, a sphere is formed.
The creator’s consciousness is said to exist within the sphere and the only thing that physically exists is the membrane of the sphere itself. This “first step” is to be identified with the “first day”, the latter being in reference to the six days of creation.
