Tree of life
Tree of life - the most sacred geometry symbol
| The Tree of Life is one of the most familiar of
the Sacred Geometry Symbols. The structure of the Tree of Life is connected to the sacred teachings
of the Jewish Kabbalah but can
be seen 3,000 years earlier in Egypt. It is possible to see the Tree
of Life structure in many places around the conscious universe.
The structure is represented in nature and relates to the Flower of
Life. |
 |
The Tree of Life and
Seed of Life
are products of the same likeness; it is simply the centers of the circles of
the
Flower of Life and the Seed of Life
(See diagram 3).
The
Kabbalah Tree of Life is a representation
of the thirty-two paths comprised of the ten sefirot and the twenty-two paths
through which they run. The Tree of Life describes the descent of the divine
into the manifest world, and methods by which the divine union may be attained
in this life. It can be viewed as a
map of the human psyche, and of the workings
of creation, both manifest and not. It is important to realize that the pure
nature of divinity is
unity, and that the
seemingly separate aspects or emanations exist only in view of the emanated,
living in a state of illusory separation.
The names and numbers of the ten sefirot are given in order below.
1 -
Kether (Crown) or Kether Elyon (Supreme
Crown)
2 -
Chokmah (Wisdom)
3 -
Binah (Understanding or Intelligence)
4 -
Chesed (Mercy or Grace) or Gedullah
(Greatness)
5 -
Geburah (Severity or Power), Din
(Judgement) or Pahad (Fear)
6 -
Tifereth (Beauty) or Rahamim (Mercy)
7 -
Netsach (Victory or Constancy)
8 -
Hod (Glory or Majesty)
9 -
Yesod (Foundation) or Tsedek (Justice)
10 -
Malkuth (Kingdom) or Shekhinah
(Divine Immanence)
Tree of Life and the struggle between light and darkness
To help us understand the importance of the
Tree of Life, a story can be told that characterizes
the struggle between light and darkness:
On the light side the
archangel Michael
and on the dark side
Satan, who abandoned
the creator to create a different reality of his own (if you reverse the name
SATAN in the Hebrew language you will get the word natash which means-abandoned
in Hebrew). Satan (also known as
LUCIFER which means
THE BRIGHT AND SHINING ONE since he was the
most magnificent and brilliant angle ever created), was aware of all the secrets
of the creation and the Flower of Life. The first thing he did was to take the
construction of the Egg of Life and spin it into a different point of view or
perception instead of the star tetrahedron point of view, which can be derived
from this shape (check out our explanation about the Flower of Life). This procedure
changed our
perception of reality. Satan
repeated the process of creation out of the great void but instead of copying
the actions of the creator, he changed the process of creation out of the great
void. Instead of repeating God's creation and creating the seed of life structure,
and creating one sphere at a time in a vortex motion, he divided spirit into
two; creating two centers (See diagram 2-2C). In this way there are two centers
instead of one.

LIGHT and DARKNESS
There is no vortex motion of creating one sphere at a time; instead there is
only a duplication process just like cell division only without a certain order
or shape. Unlike GOD'S creation which can be seen in the embryo cell division,
which provides perfect shapes during the cellular mitosis through the different
stages of development. This is the difference between LIGHT and DARKNESS. Light
is order, the cosmic laws of creation, while darkness is chaos and death.
Illusion reality
This action created reality that is separated from that of the creator. This
version of reality is an illusion. It is a reality where unity is unseen between
that which exists and all that happens, thus experiencing reality as good and
evil. Therefore one does not feel real love just the use of the intellect.
Tree of life vs. Tree of knowledge
In the Bible there is a description of the Tree of Knowledge (Satan's creation)
and the Tree of Life (God's original reality). "The Tree of Life is in the garden
and the Tree of Knowledge good and evil". If one tries to draw the Tree of Life
upon Satan's dual Flower of Life he will find it impossible as there is no compatibility
between them.
Tree of life pendant
The pendant of the
Tree of Life forms
the key to God's original creation. The pendant's size itself fits exactly to
the size of the Seed of Life and the Flower of Life, and can be used as a sign
of unity and love as each structure together creates a perfect match. The Tree
of Life symbolizes the true existence of God's creation, the only reality to
enable the fulfillment of ones destiny and true potential.
