IN THE BEGINNING
Here’s how the circles of the Seed of Life align with the days of creation, the universal laws, and the Law of One:
Day 1: The First Circle – Polarity and the Creation of Light
The first day represents the creation of light and darkness, corresponding to the Law of Polarity. In sacred geometry, the first circle symbolizes unity—the origin point of all things. This first circle is the seed of consciousness, the divine spark of creation, reflecting the beginning of awareness.
Historical Symbolism: The first circle is often viewed as the divine source, or the “Monad” in ancient philosophy, which contains all potential creation. In many cultures, the circle symbolizes eternity, infinity, and wholeness—before separation into duality (light and dark) took place.
Narrative: As light emerges from the void, the first circle is drawn in the sacred geometry of existence. This is the beginning of duality—light and dark, positive and negative—yet both stem from the same source. The universe is born with the first division, yet it remains one, like the Law of One teaches.
Day 2: The Second Circle – Correspondence and the Separation of Waters
The second day marks the division of waters, representing the Law of Correspondence—mirroring the physical and spiritual realms. The second circle is drawn, overlapping with the first, introducing duality and balance. The two interlocking circles form the Vesica Piscis, a symbol of creation and the intersection of the divine and the material worlds.
Historical Symbolism: The Vesica Piscis has been revered across many cultures as the womb of creation. It represents the portal through which life enters existence, a sacred space where the physical and spiritual merge.
Narrative: On the second day, the separation of waters reflects the separation of realms, yet they are not fully separate—they overlap, like the two circles of the Vesica Piscis. This overlap shows the unity within duality, as the Law of One states: as above, so below. The separation of waters is not a division of oneness, but an expansion into dual experience.
Day 3: The Third Circle – Vibration and the Emergence of Land and Vegetation
On the third day, life takes physical form as land and vegetation emerge, resonating with the Law of Vibration. The third circle of the Seed of Life is added, symbolizing growth and expansion. This third circle brings vibrancy to the geometric pattern, as life begins to resonate with the energy of creation.
Historical Symbolism: The triangle formed by the three interlocking circles symbolizes strength, stability, and the foundational energy of creation. In many cultures, this triad represents the unity of mind, body, and spirit—an essential balance for growth.
Narrative: With the emergence of land and vegetation, the vibrational frequency of the universe increases. This third circle represents the grounding of energy into form. The vibration of life flows through all things, manifesting growth and expansion. As in the Law of One, this day reflects the movement of consciousness as it begins to experience itself through physical form.
Day 4: The Fourth Circle – Rhythm and the Creation of Celestial Bodies
On the fourth day, the celestial bodies—sun, moon, and stars—are created, resonating with the Law of Rhythm. The fourth circle in the Seed of Life brings structure and order to the pattern, just as the cycles of the celestial bodies establish the rhythm of time and existence.
Historical Symbolism: The four interlocking circles often symbolize the four cardinal directions, the four elements (earth, air, fire, water), and the four seasons. This introduces the idea of cosmic cycles and the balance of natural forces.
Narrative: As the sun, moon, and stars take their places in the heavens, the universe finds its rhythm. The fourth circle adds stability to the growing Seed of Life, reflecting the cycles that govern all things. In the Law of One, these celestial cycles mirror the evolution of consciousness as it rises and falls, growing in harmony with the rhythm of the universe.
Day 5: The Fifth Circle – Gender and the Creation of Sea Creatures and Birds
On the fifth day, life fills the oceans and skies, representing the Law of Gender. The fifth circle is added to the Seed of Life, introducing movement and diversity. This fifth circle signifies the balance of masculine and feminine energies that allow life to flourish.
Historical Symbolism: In sacred geometry, the pentagon formed by five interlocking circles is often associated with life force, motion, and transformation. The number five is connected to the human experience and the balance between active (masculine) and receptive (feminine) forces.
Narrative: As creatures fill the waters and the skies, the masculine and feminine energies are balanced in creation. The fifth circle brings complexity to the Seed of Life, just as life becomes more diverse and dynamic. The Law of One teaches that this balance of energies is essential for spiritual growth, and the union of these forces brings harmony to creation.
Day 6: The Sixth Circle – Cause and Effect and the Creation of Land Animals and Humanity
On the sixth day, land animals and humanity are created, resonating with the Law of Cause and Effect. The sixth circle is drawn, bringing completion and symmetry to the Seed of Life. Humanity, with its free will, now plays a key role in shaping the universe through its actions and choices.
Historical Symbolism: The six interlocking circles form the hexagon, a powerful symbol of harmony, balance, and order in many spiritual traditions. The number six often represents the material world and the interconnectedness of all life.
Narrative: The creation of humanity on the sixth day brings with it the responsibility of cause and effect. The sixth circle in the Seed of Life completes the basic structure, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all actions. Humanity’s choices will now ripple through the universe, influencing both the physical and spiritual realms. The Law of One emphasizes that all beings are co-creators, and every action shapes the fabric of existence.
Day 7: The Seventh Circle – Mentalism and the Day of Rest
On the seventh day, creation pauses in reflection, resonating with the Law of Mentalism. The seventh and final circle of the Seed of Life is drawn, completing the pattern of creation. This central circle represents wholeness, the return to the source, and the unity of all things.
Historical Symbolism: The Seed of Life is now complete, a symbol of creation, fertility, and interconnectedness. Throughout history, the seven interlocking circles have been seen as the blueprint for existence, representing the perfection of the universe’s design.
Narrative: On the seventh day, the Creator rests, reflecting on the mental origins of all creation. The seventh circle unites all elements, showing that all is mind, as the Law of Mentalism teaches. The Seed of Life is now complete, symbolizing the return to unity and the realization that all things are one, as emphasized in the Law of One. The journey of creation is both physical and mental, a reflection of the Creator’s infinite mind.
Weaving the Teachings Together: The Seed of Life as the Blueprint of Creation
The formation of the Seed of Life through the seven days of creation symbolizes the unfolding of existence, from the spark of consciousness to the completion of the universe. Each day adds another layer to this sacred geometry, reflecting the principles of the Seven Universal Laws, the Law of One, and the cosmic dance of creation. The interlocking circles of the Seed of Life show how all things are interconnected, forming a pattern that resonates through history as a symbol of unity, harmony, and the infinite potential of the universe.
