The Tree

A tree is a whole, made up of many parts and systems. From its smallest parts to the overall, as it subdivides and multiplies within itself, each part differs and has a significant role and purpose that adds to the makeup and existence of the whole tree. Independently they interrelate with each other in a consistent and unwavering harmonious flow between. Contained throughout all these unified forms are the cells of the tree and within their cores lies the DNA structure and genes that hold the recording of the tree's light.

The leaves of a tree draw in Light, as the tree reaches forth. It then nourishes itself by transmuting light energy into substances. It then reflects the tree's light into its separate but unified forms down to its cells. The energy as substance stimulates DNA for growth, which is the largest biological active molecule that is responsible for the replication of key life substance. Simultaneously stimulating within the DNA, the genes hold the power to reproduce and copy themselves, as they contain the basic unit of hereditary and evolution, as well the characteristics, the process of growth and development. Thus, through transmuted light energy it carries forth the recording of light's intended blueprint and design that was set forth in the original seed that the tree stems from.

The one Light divides into two and the union of the two then multiplies and divides in continual cycles creating growth, as the Light carries forth in an outward expression. The tree outwardly shines as a creative expression of Light and as an individual aspect of its environment; it stands a part of a greater whole. The tree interrelates, effects and reflects with its surroundings, as the unified forms did within the tree, the tree both adds to and gains from the environment, continuing the flow. It provides nourishment and gives warmth and shelter to wildlife around it, as it stands strong and grows through and with the continual cycles of nature and seasons of time.

In a community, the tree brings beauty and color to sight and offers something for all. For the elders it provides shade on a sunny day or holds the memories of times gone past. For the thinker, a place to ponder, for an artist it is creative stimulation in capturing its beauty. It provides a place of comfort in a time of stress and a place to rest. To the children it brings joy as they play upon it. And when its time has come, it still continues in its being as it leaves its seeds to carry on and its beauty withstands in a different way, through what we make with it.

Light expresses itself, throughout all creation, in a continual pattern expanding as it multiplies and divides itself into separate unified forms. The propelling force is the desire of unconditional love, as the one Light desires to unconditionally express itself. The Love is the Light. Light reflects and refracts throughout and into physical forms, like light reflected in a kaleidoscope.

As humans, we too are part of Light's creation and nature of life, and unique individual expressions of it. We are also comprised of unified forms. We are Beings of Light. Like the tree, we have unified forms that subdivide further within themselves into systems and parts that together make the whole.

The whole Being is comprised of several operating systems. The physical body is merely the most visible. The physical, along with the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, are all operating systems of the whole, which our Being expresses itself through. We are like a tree, drawing forth the Light of Creation, and grounding it in Mother Earth into being. We need to recognize our various bodies and systems are individual aspects of our whole being: interrelating and working together, affecting and reflecting each other, adding to and gaining from the whole self.

Consciousness is the Knowing of mind and the spiritual awareness of Being. Consciousness is the awareness of our spirit within. Knowing is the awareness of Light. As we get in touch with our inner Being and learn how to work within, we can see and recognize all that is there for us. We can find the Knowing of cause and bring forth the insights and understandings needed to enable change. With that Light, we can release the blockages and move beyond the present limitations towards personal growth and healing. Then we can allow the Light and Love from within to shine through the balance and harmony.

It is only when we first learn to balance within ourselves will that balance be reflected in our lives. Furthermore, as we find it within, it enables us to recognize and find balance outside of ourselves: with other Beings, in our environment and in our society. As we learn to do it individually, we will do it collectively.
