THE FLOWER OF LIFE
[noun/proper noun/title]
the modern name given to a geometrical figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles. They are arranged to form a flower-like pattern with a sixfold symmetry, similar to a hexagon. The centre of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter. 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.

HENOSIS
[noun]
(Ancient Greek: ἕνωσις) the word for “oneness,” “union,” or “unity” in classical Greek, and is spelled identically in modern Greek where “Enosis” is particularly connected with the modern political “Unity” movement to unify Greece and Cyprus. In Platonism, and especially Neoplatonism, the goal of Henosis “unity, oneness” is union with what is fundamental in reality: the One (Τὸ Ἕν), the Source or Monad.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3t0c6Xsnn1rpdy8wo1_400.jpg)
