Seems to me that the “real” flower is the feminine version and the “death” flower is the masculine version. This is possibly just another war of the sexes.
The “death” flower is cubed (I don’t think cubes are necessarily evil, especially when negentrophied), don’t know about the other one, seems more spirally, toroidal. They probably do different things. What the “death” flower brings is order, which could kill or trap depending on the intended use, or it could bring back to the original order as is intended here. Maybe the spirally flower ascends/releases?
I personally wouldn’t use the flower of life if it wasn’t plasma’d. The Blueprint of Life field organizes me very well, I don’t feel like it traps or kills me at all, just the opposite, it helps release me through increased order. I think people get caught up in their own stuff and make a big deal out of insignificant things.
I have heard of negative entities taking advantage of the “death” flower geometry, not me personally, but I think that only works because of what the person is caught up in themselves. The tools are neutral, we make the decision how we use them. Some geometries are better for one thing than another, but to flat out call something evil based on its geometry is cultish superstition, ignorance at its finest. Just my opinion, obviously.
