Take thirteen circles from the Flower of Life so that none overlap. This is the fruit, and it hides the blueprint for every Platonic solid.
- Circles
- 13
- Lines hidden
- 78
Watch it drawn with compass and straightedge, hear the chord of its lines, and turn the Dimension dial to raise its form in space.
Facts
- Centres lie on six rays at distances 0, 2 and 4 radii.
- Connect every centre to every other and you get Metatron’s Cube: 78 lines.
- 13 is also the number of spheres in Fuller’s vector equilibrium cluster.
History and meaning
In modern sacred-geometry teaching the Fruit of Life is the "blueprint of the universe", the seed from which Metatron’s Cube and all the Platonic solids can be drawn.
Across the dimensions
- Slice of Fruit of Life in 3DThe six rays of the plane become twelve in space: twenty-five spheres, none overlapping, with the flat Fruit as their middle layer.
