Quoting: Anonymous Coward 945308 I suspect even if people read the answer, they would not understand? Of course this has to be true because probably at least a million people have read the answer. They see you do not see because the knowledge behind the concept is not known to them. . So, in other words, You found something in the Bible. You believe that YOU are the sole possessor of that knowledge, and that if any one does not see it your way, they are wrong? And furthermore, you delight in watching them struggle to see what you have seen? Fuck you and your Temple. I'm out. Please remember that the passage that refers to the "Tree of Life" also makes mention of "the cherubs and the flame of a flashing sword to guard the way to the Tree of Life." So, if you know what the Tree of Life is, you will also know what the cherubs and the flame of a flashing sword are. Michael |

The only way to help a human being is to give him light, true knowledge. When that light dawns within him it shows him that he is linked to immensity and eternity, the he can communicate with the forces of the cosmos, that he has the power to transform his life. Only then will he possess certainty and joy. You can help human beings to solve their physical and psychic problems only by teaching them about their true nature, by showing them how they are linked to the Tree of Life, and how to draw from it the forces they need in order to work and transform themselves. (JULY 28, 1995) The study of the Sephirotic Tree, the Tree of Life, gives a very clear view of the spiritual work you must accomplish and is a method that can serve you to the end of your days. Your mind will stop wandering aimlessly as you follow its path, and the further you manage to advance, the more blessings you will receive. Refer frequently to the Sephirotic Tree and you will light lamps within you, which will not only enlighten you, but also purify and strengthen you, bringing you vitality and beauty. Perhaps you will always find this image mysterious and will thus never fully manifest all the virtues and powers it represents. However, it will serve as an illustration of the ideal world that draws you ever higher. (OCTOBER 31, 1998) Many people believe that they are in direct contact with God because they attend church regularly or recite their daily prayers. Would that it were so easy! To claim direct contact with God, we would have to be completely unaware of his inaccessibility! I would not say that we cannot reach some aspect of God but certainly not God Himself. Between ourselves and God there is a great gulf to be crossed, a space so vast it is beyond conception. That space is not empty: It is composed of regions in which spiritual entities live. All religions mention in some way the existence of these regions and these entities. The Christian tradition, which has its roots in the Jewish tradition, teaches the existence of nine angelic orders: the Angels, Archangels, Principalities, Virtues, Powers, Dominations, Thrones, Cherubim and Seraphim. These angelic orders are each an aspect of divine power and virtue. In order for us to develop spiritually, we need to know about the existence of these celestial entities, because they are like beacons of light along our way. (DECEMBER 5, 1998) more at link above  Excellent post. From someone who, however, has NO Knowledge; only hearsay, readsay, hearwrite and readwrite. Michael OK, fine. Educate me . See also, the Vision of the "Son of man", the "sidrah tree" in Sura 53 of the Quran, the "Night Journey" of Mohammed; and Genesis 16:13 and 32:31, the Book of Daniel and the Revelation of John and the Gospel of Mary.

Appearing very cyclic, further it appears mankind is a kind of fruit, As the seeds were left, some in good ground...etc Beings gave their seed to create a Tree of Life. From which Living Waters proceed. I wonder if they (original stock beings) went through a Tower of Babel moment, and the creation of the Tree of Life is a coming Togethor for all involved - Finally.

The Tree of Life (825.6) 73:6.1 In the center of the Garden temple Van planted the long-guarded tree of life, whose leaves were for the “healing of the nations,” and whose fruit had so long sustained him on earth. Van well knew that Adam and Eve would also be dependent on this gift of Edentia for their life maintenance after they once appeared on Urantia in material form. (825.7) 73:6.2 The Material Sons on the system capitals do not require the tree of life for sustenance. Only in the planetary repersonalization are they dependent on this adjunct to physical immortality. (825.8) 73:6.3 The “tree of the knowledge of good and evil” may be a figure of speech, a symbolic designation covering a multitude of human experiences, but the “tree of life” was not a myth; it was real and for a long time was present on Urantia. When the Most Highs of Edentia approved the commission of Caligastia as Planetary Prince of Urantia and those of the one hundred Jerusem citizens as his administrative staff, they sent to the planet, by the Melchizedeks, a shrub of Edentia, and this plant grew to be the tree of life on Urantia. This form of nonintelligent life is native to the constellation headquarters spheres, being also found on the headquarters worlds of the local and superuniverses as well as on the Havona spheres, but not on the system capitals. (826.1) 73:6.4 This superplant stored up certain space-energies which were antidotal to the age-producing elements of animal existence. The fruit of the tree of life was like a superchemical storage battery, mysteriously releasing the life-extension force of the universe when eaten. This form of sustenance was wholly useless to the ordinary evolutionary beings on Urantia, but specifically it was serviceable to the one hundred materialized members of Caligastia’s staff and to the one hundred modified Andonites who had contributed of their life plasm to the Prince’s staff, and who, in return, were made possessors of that complement of life which made it possible for them to utilize the fruit of the tree of life for an indefinite extension of their otherwise mortal existence. (826.2) 73:6.5 During the days of the Prince’s rule the tree was growing from the earth in the central and circular courtyard of the Father’s temple. Upon the outbreak of the rebellion it was regrown from the central core by Van and his associates in their temporary camp. This Edentia shrub was subsequently taken to their highland retreat, where it served both Van and Amadon for more than one hundred and fifty thousand years. (826.3) 73:6.6 When Van and his associates made ready the Garden for Adam and Eve, they transplanted the Edentia tree to the Garden of Eden, where, once again, it grew in a central, circular courtyard of another temple to the Father. And Adam and Eve periodically partook of its fruit for the maintenance of their dual form of physical life. (826.4) 73:6.7 When the plans of the Material Son went astray, Adam and his family were not permitted to carry the core of the tree away from the Garden. When the Nodites invaded Eden, they were told that they would become as “gods if they partook of the fruit of the tree.” Much to their surprise they found it unguarded. They ate freely of the fruit for years, but it did nothing for them; they were all material mortals of the realm; they lacked that endowment which acted as a complement to the fruit of the tree. They became enraged at their inability to benefit from the tree of life, and in connection with one of their internal wars, the temple and the tree were both destroyed by fire; only the stone wall stood until the Garden was subsequently submerged. This was the second temple of the Father to perish. (826.5) 73:6.8 And now must all flesh on Urantia take the natural course of life and death. Adam, Eve, their children, and their children’s children, together with their associates, all perished in the course of time, thus becoming subject to the ascension scheme of the local universe wherein mansion world resurrection follows material death. |

The roots represent the dense energy realms which provide stability and support to the light energy realms. The leaves/fruit/flowers represent the light energy realms which provide nourishment/life force energy/etc. to the dense energy realms. Ultimately, a neutral/natural depiction of the sensationalized good vs. evil archetype. |

The "Tree of Life" symbolizes the non-dualistic consciousness Created 'by and in the image of God' (Genesis 1:27). That isn't what it is; that is one of the things that it symbolizes. Michael |
