“The Tree provides a clear understanding of humanity’s soul experiences in relationship to the soul of the world of which we are part. However, the mysteries of the Tree are only revealed to seekers when they come home to their skin, their human ancestry, and the soul of nature in its masculine and feminine forms. You cannot choose one branch of the Tree over another. You must choose the whole Tree or the isolation of the twig on which you stand.
At first, it seems that the Tree grows in a wilderness of despair. This despair is driven by an innate divine discontent within us that deludes us into thinking that our inherent flaws form a boundary that prevents us from becoming one with the Creator. Do not let it fool you into thinking that you will never attain inner peace and oneness with creation and the Creator. You must go into that wilderness and cry out for a vision, in humility and hope, as a child of the One. When you have surrendered to its majesty and mystery, the beauty of the Tree unfurls.”
