Once, all life in the universe knew the Flower of Life as the creation pattern -- the geometrical design leading us into and out of physical existence. Then from a very high state of consciousness, we fell into darkness and forgot who we were. For thousands of years, the secret was held in ancient artifacts and carvings around the world and encoded in the cells of all life.

Now we are rising up from that sleep, shaking old, stale beliefs from our minds and glimpsing the golden light of this new dawn streaming through the windows of perception. This book is one of those windows.

Here, Drunvalo Melchizedek presents in text and graphics the first half of the Flower of Life Workshop, illuminating the mysteries of how we came to be, why the world is the way it is and the subtle energies that allow our awarenesses to blossom into its true beauty.

Sacred Geometry is the form beneath our being and points to a divine order in our reality. We can follow that order from the invisible atom to the infinite stars, finding ourselves at each step. The information here is one path, but between the lines and drawings lie the feminine gems of intuitive understanding. You may see them sparkle around some of these provocative ideas:

• Remembering Our Ancient Past

How the Fall of Atlantis Changed Our Reality

• The Secret of the Flower Unfolds

Sacred Geometry, the Seed of Life, the Star Tetrahedron, the Waveform Universe, the Shifting of Earth's Poles

• The Darker Side of Our Present and Past

Our Endangered Earth, Ice Age, the History of the World

• When Evolution Crashed and the Christ Grid Arose

How the Lemurians Evolved Human Consciousness, the Martians' Fateful Decision, the Planetary Grid

• Egypt's Role in the Evolution of Consciousness

Dying, Resurrection and Ascension, the Brilliance of Akhenaten, the Story of Genesis

• The Significance of Shape and Structure

The Torus, the Labyrinth, the Egg of Life, the Platonic Solids, the Living Crystals

• The Geometries of the Human Body

Leonardo da Vinci's Canon, the Mystery of the Mason's Drawing, the Golden Mean Spirals, the Fibonacci Sequence, the Divine Phi Ratio

Explore the miracle of our existence by meandering through the wonderland of geometry, science, ancient history and new discovery, seen through the widened vision of Drunvalo and the Flower of Life. Volume 2 will explore in great detail the Mer-Ka-Ba, the 55-foot-diameter energy field of the human lightbody. This knowledge leads to ascension and the next dimensional world.
