The World Tree
the tree represents the center of the world,
connecting the heavens to the earth...
the roots of the tree hold the earth,
the branches hold the sky...
heaven and hell are the sea and the sky,
and you are the horizon........
......where the great estuary of eternal life merge , as the holy water's of earth flow
to meet and be greeted by the holy water's of heaven . the world tree serves as a
conduit to all life on earth , as the roots of the tree recieve it's messages from the
creator using the branches ; as above , so below....the horizon is consciousness,
consciousness is but a thin thread of heaven and hell's seperation .
the trunk of the world tree represents the spinal cord of the living , the branches
represent the universal mind , the roots represent our relationship to all of
creation . the allegorical use of the spider web represents the connectivity of all
life on earth ; " what we do to the web , we do to ourselves ...."
the philosophy and cosmology of the east and west meet to form unity as one
world mind ; where we stand now is atop humankinds creation , one immense
land mine.
we all have a long , difficult journey ahead of us....may we all be blessed with the
fortitude to persevere......
