Greetings, I am new here so I was not sure where to post this.
Hexagons have always fascinated me, and I think that a hexagonal structure would make more sense in a tree of life. For example 2 hexagons sitting ontop of eachother in a crystaline structure with one point in the centre would give 19 points. If you added another at the top mid axis point and one at the bottom mid axis point you would get 21 points.
19 is the hexagonal number the Egyptians used on their grid of 19 squares. The number 6 and number 19 was important to them in their understandings of time and space.
Hexagons have always become manifest, soil can manifest hexagonal structures from within itself and has been photographed in the frozen Tundra. There has also been a major hexagon appear on the planet Saturns North pole. All basic materials of soil, water, ice and clay are seen to have hexagonal manifestations.
Cell's connections are also hexagonal. Every cell is surrounded on the outside by a kind of skin called plasma membrane. Cell membranes are composed of endless rows of things with ' water loving heads' and 'water hating tails'.
Cell biologists call these respectively ' hydrophilic 'water loving' and hydrophobic ' water hating'.
The hydrophobic heads face inwards towards the watery interiors and the water hating tails point outwards. To seal them off really well, an identical layer forms and the two stick together as a kind of double layer pressing one up against the other. This is called bilayers. The tunnels between the bilayers are extraordinary hexagonal switches named 'gap junctions'.
You can read up on them here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gap_junction
When the 6 rods have twisted slightly, a narrow channel opens in the middle, and water or various small molecules can flow through from one cell to another. Then the 6 cylinders in a hexagon, twist back and snap shut, cutting off all flow. A complete gap junction actually consists of 2 of these units stuck toghether end to end, these units singly are called 'connexions' and are embedded in the cell membrane.
One scientist has gone so far as to say, ' the single cell is not the prime element of living bodies, but instead it is the double-cell as linked by a gap junction which is the true prime element'.
Small molecules pass freely from one cell to another through these channels which implies that the 'coupled cell system' is the functional unit in all respects.
(I can see where you are coming from, M1thr0s, about the double hexagrams.)
Its also important to realise that gap junctions are so widespread that we can say that they are a universal feature of all living things on earth. Not only do gap junctions consist of hexagonal rods which twist open and shut, but these junctions themselves pack together in vast masses. A hexagonal array of one fitting precisely into the other just like electric plugs. Its known that these channels form between membranes through the hexagons within as little as 4 minutes of being pressed into contact, even if the tissues are from different creatures. The gap junctions are therefore a kind of standardized kit assembly system in nature, for the construction of channels of communication between living cells, whether those cells pressed together are from the same species or not!
When a person has an awakened and flowing energy system like in kundalini activation, you can also feel a twist up the spine on strong surges of its
energy force which helps in opening up new channels through the nadis to all cells in the body for refinement. Blockages in the system hamper the flow and its possible the communication between cells is not in conjuction.
I cant help also to see a set of hexagons in the structure of a tree of life.
I found an interesting article on slicing a cube and turning it into a hexagon.

Also the notion of twisting hexagonal forms creating extra dimensional lines of force intruiges me. An example of this can be found on the following site about hexagonal grids being woven into spheres. It was based on the Leonardo grid and note figures 7-11. are the images of interest to me.

Just to finish up here and apologies for this posts length, a hexagonal tree of life would have an easier twist vortex of energy than a cube wouldnt it? I have not studied the tree of life extensively though, and I am largely working on inner alchemy transmutation.
I would like to know what others think about hexagons incorporated into a tree of life would be like.
