Etz HaChayim עץ החיים

"The branches of this tree extend downward and upward, nourished by the three modes of material nature. The twigs are the objects of the senses. This tree also has roots going down, and these are bound to the fruitive actions of human society." ~ Baghavad-Gita

I recently found this amazing correspondence between a passage in my Baghavad-Gita and the Tree of Life, or Etz HaChayim. It was a random page after feeling inspired to pick up my Baghavad-Gita, touch it's cover to my forehead and opening it with a clear mind.

Tiphareth, Yesod and Malkuth are the 3 modes of nature here, with the roots going down into Malkuth (Eretz, Earth) which are "bound to the fruitive actions of human society".

Israel Regardie's 'A Garden of Pomegranates' shows the way to the Father, Kether, or Yekhuda (37), which is through the Sun, being Tiphareth or the Solar Plexus. This "spark of Light" within all things unites all of Creation, and has been expressed through religion as the Flaming Heart, in qabalah as Tiphareth (the Tav being the spark of light within all things), in yoga as the Solar Plexus, in math as the eternal PI (which is the Eternal center of all because all creations reside in a sphere), to the Hindus "Diwali", in geometry it is the "7th Direction" (the center of all 5 basic platonic solids that make up all of creation) and in alchemy it is the Quintessence, the 5th Essence or Element, defined as "nucleus of the essences and properties of all things in the universal world."

Michaelangelo drew, and knew that we are strange shapes within a sphere (aura), as Earth is shaped strangely, but is within it's sphere, as a nucleaus being orbited by protons is within it's "atomic" sphere.
All as one, on every level. The Whole is identical to the dot. The dot is identical to the Whole.

If only we knew our Divine potential and lived up to it, we might actually get the economy of life to work for us rather than against us.
One by One, and by One.....it is done.
