actaully, it's totally related. look at the nice pictures higher up in the thread.
doing the drawings for yourself helps. the tree of life is one aspect of the flower of life, much as the seed of life is the core of the flower.
anyway, you're probably not interested in what that even means, by the tone of your post.

Considering that stuff like phi, the divine proportion, and study of architecture (we are, after all, cathedral builders) is something every mason study at some point or another, Id say that ''sacred geometry'' is linked to masonry.
Concerning the flower of life, not only the kaballistic tree of life is contained within it, but it supplosedly contains, in its proportions, all the mysteries and secrets of life, mathematics, and so on. It i s a very interesting subject.

score one for moonchild!

xactly. well done, auntie.

Had it not been for the fact that the title to this thread was so long that it couldn't be discerned that it was about freemasons, I would have never been here.

Thanks for the trickery.

Good lord, who put the bee in your bonnet? take a deep breath... now relaaaaaaax. maybe have a beer.

It sure looks like I was wrong, but what can I say, it looks like this symbol is just not used in the Occult/Hermetic world as far as I can tell. I sure have never come across it. a quick google and most of the results were on "white light, new agey" sites. ick no wonder I haven't seen it before.

the lord put the bee in my bonnet, LOL.
you admitted you were wrong.
respect!

mmm yesss, sacred geometry, i love it, you can find lots of it in crop circles...
The ratios in the flower of life can be applied into everything, human body, solar system, universe, whatever...

..may i suggest Drunvaldos lecture on it that can be found on the net....yes hes pretty new age, but he knows his sacred geometry.

Im surprised masons dont know about it...now theres nothing that makes you cool anymore in my eyes, since i was sure this falls into the category of secret or lost knowledge that you should know

i could say dick, im very dissapointed

WAIT WAIT WAIT LOL this is too much. did you say FREEMASONIC GOD???? lol wow we have our own god now? COOL! man why didnt they tell me?! GOD i'm always left out.

I do have a question for freemasons that I am just waiting for them to start yelling at me that they don't care about or never heard about this but why not explain to everyone why you and the Illuminati joined together huh? The fact is because you were both fleeing the catholic church so to speak anyway in that one case the freemasons and fleeing Illuminati were both accused of horrible crimes

You are correct that the Freemasons and Illuminati were both persecuted by the Church, but incorrect in that they "joined together." The Illuminati and freemasons were always two separate and distinct organizations. The only strain of commonality was that some guys were members of both groups, and Adam Weishaupt copied a good deal from Masonry when he wrote the Illuminati rituals.

isn't it true that the freemasons was originally the group known as the Knights Templar

No. It's just a very common, albeit popular, myth.

who yes at one time were the best equipped strongest knight in the Crusades, but evidently not the holiest because they doubted their Catholic beliefs and evetually started rapping women and killing children in the Crusades and when the Catholic Church found out what the knights templar did they ordered their destruction and that once the "King of the Temple" (or rather in lame terms the Knights Templar's leader) was killed in battle the remaining knights templar fled and regrouped in Scotland and joined William Wallace ( Yes I know your history)

If you know history, then you are certainly aware that the above story is fictional. There is no evidence that any fugitive Templars ever did anything in Scotland.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and the list goes on and on but, they weren't high enough in your society to know the truth (probally just like most of you) also they were very very God fearing men and all Christians for instance they belived you couldn't call yourself Americans if you didn't belive in God

Wrong on all counts. Neither Washington, Jefferson, nor Franklin were Christians. All three were Deists. Of these three, Washington and Franklin were Masons, Jefferson was not.

secondly, it is absurd to state that these men thought that only theists could be Americans. Franklin wrote that it did not matter if his neighbor believed in one god, many gods, or none at all; such belief neither bruised nor harmed Franklin in any way. Our Forefathers also made sure to adopt a clause in the Constitution banning all religious tests for public office.

I just wanted to give you a history lesson on your groups true history

And I thought I'd take a moment to return the favor.
