Nothing exists before you were born, only the void is present.
The void is nothing, and nothing exists after you die, only the void.

Yeah I figured as much but how do you know that...
There are Tons of people that are blessed with "memories" of their existence before this life...
What if most of us just don't have access to what we were before this existence?

i cant speak for other people. I dont know what other people believe they remember. for all i know they could of had a past existence and remember it but for me it seems like a new slate, a fresh start.

You should chat with FlyersFan
One might think its a fresh start... but Karma exists...
And if we live many lives, perhaps even millions of them in the history of what we know of the universe...
one can only imagine...

The Flower of Life is NOT sacred geometry. Just because it has been found painted on an ancient temple wall at Abydos in Egypt does not make it so. True sacred geometry is a representation of holistic systems. The five Platonic solids are an example of such systems because they are mathematically complete as the only possible regular polyhedra. But Metatron's Cube, which is associated with the Flower of Life and which has been known to mathematicians for centuries, generates only the first four Platonic solids. Contrary to many claims, it does not generate the dodecahedron. It is therefore NOT sacred geometry.
All sacred geometries have now been mathematically proven to be isomorphic, to embody the group mathematics of E8 involved in the theory of superstrings and to represent their multi-dimensional structure. In other words, the vague claims made by proponents of the Flower of Life have now been rigorously realised for these isomorphic geometries, which have been proved to be lower-dimensional representations of the 8-dimensional Gosset polytope, whose 240 vertices define the 240 roots of E8, the rank-8 exceptional Lie group whose symmetries describe E8xE8 heterotic superstring forces. In other words, we can now conclude with certainty that superstring theory is an aspect of the mathematics of Creation. Study for yourselves the amazing evidence and research at:

The lungs are an excellent example of a natural fractal organ. If you look at the tree upside-down (mouse over the image), you can see that the lungs share the same branching pattern as the trees. And it is for good reason! Both the trees and lungs have evolved to serve a similar function - respiration. Since they perform a similar function, it should not be surprising that they share a similar structure. This common concept in science is known as the Structure-Function Relationship. Many of the fractals in biological systems we will explore have evolved their structures in order to perform extraordinary functions. In the case of Lungs and Trees, they both breathe. In animals, the lungs breathe in oxygen and breathe out CO2. In plants, the process happens in reverse. Thus animals and plants are two halves of the same respiratory cycle. But here's the key to their shared structure: They both need a large surface area to function well. The amount of gas (O2 and CO2) that can be exchanged through the leaves on a tree or the lungs in an animal is directly proportional to their total surface area. Although the volume of a pair of human lungs is only ~4 - 6 litres, the surface area of the same pair of lungs is between 50 and 100 square meters. That's about the same area as a tennis court!

I don't see how any of that implies creation. It does seem that many things in nature follow similar patterns, which makes sense, I just don't see the part where it means it must have been created. All life shares common DNA as well, since they share common ancestors. It's interesting food for thought, but we don't know what exactly these patterns imply. It could just be the way it is.
