Eight spheres on the corners of a cube
Eight spheres at the corners of a cube, like the eight cells of an early embryo. Flatten it along its axis and it casts the Seed of Life.

- Seed of Life
Turn it in your hands, strike it to hear the chord of its edges, slice it with a plane.
Facts
- Two spheres lie on the viewing axis, so the 8 cast only 7 circles.
- The other 6 project to a hexagon, exactly the Seed of Life.
- A fertilised egg divides into 2, then 4, then 8 cells before this pattern breaks.
History and meaning
In sacred-geometry teaching the Egg of Life is the next stage of the Genesis pattern and the template of the body’s first cell divisions.
