The Tree of Life
The true meaning behind the Christmas tree is the Hebraic Kabbalah. The lights are the sephiroth, and the crown is the Father or the star upon the top.
To ascend the tree of life is to know the Being, our divine inner star who shines upon us.
In the Christian Mysteries this tree has its twin, the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden.
The Tree of the Science of Good and Evil is s*xual, and this Tree of Knowledge is represented by the s*xual organs.
The Tree of Life is the Being, and in our Physical Body this Tree is represented by the spinal column.
Every true cultural doctrine has to study in detail these two Trees, because the study of one tree without the study of the other gives an incomplete and useless knowledge.
For what purpose do we study the Being, if we do not know about s*x? Both Trees are from Eden and even share the same roots. These are the two main great columns of the White Lodge; Wisdom and Love. Wisdom is the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil, and love is the Tree of Life.
The doctrine of the two Trees was deeply studied in ancient Egypt.
The fatal shadow of the Tree of Life is the psychological "I". The fatal shadow of the Tree of Knowledge is fornication. People usually mistake the shadows for reality.
Whosoever finishes with the processes of the psychological "I" will self-realize his Being within. Whosoever stops fornicating is converted into a Christ.
"And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat But of the tree of the Knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it For in the day that thou eatest thereof thou surely die." (Genesis 2:16, 17).
"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desire to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." (Genesis 3:6).
"And the Lord God said, Behold the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever...
"So he drove out the man and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden a cherubim , and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life." (Genesis 3:22, 24).
If the fallen human being could have eaten from the delicious fruits of the Tree of Life, then today we would have fornicating Gods. That would be the damnation of damnations. This would be a most terrible sacrifice, and it is impossible.
The Flaming Sword of Cosmic Justice is brandished, it is blazing, frightening and terrible guarding the way towards the Tree of Life.
