The Tree of Life


 geometriasagrada.en (IG)

The Tree of Life 

(also recognized as Kabbalah or Qabalah) 

is derived from 

the Flower of Life.


It is considered a map of the universe 

and the psyche, 

the order of creation of the cosmos, 

and a path to spiritual enlightenment.


The Tree of Life is an arrangement of ten interconnected spheres 

(called "Sephiroth", meaning "Spheres"), 

which represent the central organizational system 

of the Jewish Kabbalistic tradition 

or Kabbalah Cosmology.


The ten spheres represent the ten archetypal numbers of the Pythagorean system. 

It is taught that there are 32 paths on the Tree of Life. 

The first 10 are the Sephiroth (not including Daath). 

The remaining 22 correspond to the energy lines or channels 

that unite the Sephiroth. 


Each of them, in turn, corresponds to one of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

The Tree of Life not only speaks of the origins of the physical universe from the unimaginable, 

but also of man's place in the universe. 


Since man is invested with Mind, 

consciousness in Kabbalah 

is thought of as the fruit of the physical world, 

through which the original infinite energy 

can experience and express itself as a finite entity. 

After the energy of creation has condensed into matter, 

it is believed to reverse its course back to the Tree 

until it is once again united with its true nature.


Thus, the Kabbalist seeks to know himself and the universe 

as an expression of God, 

and make the journey of Return 

through stages outlined by the Sephiroth, until he reaches the fulfillment he was looking for..



There may be 32 paths 

"ON"

The Tree of Life.


But there is only ONE way to eat from it.


Revelation 2:7

He that hath an ear, 

let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; 

To him that overcometh 

will I give 

to eat of the tree of life, 

which is in the midst 

of the paradise of God.


I can tell you several things 

people need to overcome, 

one is their 

PRIDE


(Comes before destruction 

BTW)


and their arrogance.


And their flat out 

hostility 

toward their creator.
