In New Age thought, the Flower of Life has provided what is considered to be deep spiritual meaning and forms of enlightenment to those who have studied it as sacred geometry. Some are very faint and hard to distinguish.
Possibly five Flower of Life patterns can be seen on one of the granite columns and a further five on a column opposite of the Osirion. This suggests the Osirion was half filled with sand prior to the circles being drawn and therefore likely to have been well after the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Recent research shows that these symbols can be no earlier than 535 B.C., and most probably date to the 2nd and 4th century AD, based on photographic evidence of Greek text, still to be fully deciphered, seen alongside the Flower of Life circles and the position of the circles close to the top of columns, which are over 4 metres in height. Claims that they are over 6,000 years old and may date back to as long ago as 10,500 BC. The Abydos examples from Egypt are also worthy of note. The design forms part of a gypsum or alabaster threshold step measuring 2.07 x 1.26 meters (6.8 x 4.1 feet) that originally existed in one of the palaces of King Ashurbanipal, and has been dated to c. It is now known that an earlier example of the pattern can be seen in the Assyrian rooms of the Louvre Museum in Paris. It was originally thought that the Temple of Osiris in Abydos, Egypt contained the oldest known examples of the Flower of Life. One form also known as a ".daisy wheel is also used at a smaller scale as a proportioning device.". Therefore, an additional aspect to the symbolism is to be found in the fact that the geometrical structure of crystallized water is also the basic structure of the Flower of Life. Life originally evolved in water, and all life on Earth requires water as the essential compound of life. The basic symmetry of the Flower of Life - radiating hexagonally outward from the center and branching off into more hexagonally radiating structures - is also the basic shape of a snowflake. The wooden beam ceiling in the old room (1681) from Sanok area, with rosette form of "flower of Life" geometric pattern. Identical symbols were discovered on Proto-Slavic pottery of 4th century Chernyakhov culture. Flower of Life or thunder marks such as these were often engraved upon roof beams of houses to protect them from lightning bolts. Within these stages, among other things, are the symbols of the Vesica Piscis, an ancient religious symbol, and Borromean rings, which represents the Holy Trinity. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the stages which construct the Seed of Life are said to represent the six days of Creation, in which Elohim created life Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 23:12, 31:16-17, Isaiah 56:6-8. The Seed and Flower are heavily associated with the Biblical prophet Enoch and the Archangel Metatron that Jewish mystical medieval literature states that Enoch became.
These Platonic solids are geometrical forms which are said to act as a template from which all life springs. There are many spiritual beliefs associated with the Flower of Life for example, depictions of the five Platonic solids are found within the symbol of Metatron's Cube, which may be derived from the Flower of Life pattern. It is considered by some to be a symbol of sacred geometry, said to contain ancient, spiritual value depicting the fundamental forms of space and time. The center of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter. They are arranged to form a flower-like pattern with a sixfold symmetry, similar to a hexagon. The Flower of Life is the modern name given to a geometrical figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles.
