L J Vanier – The tree of life or world tree, is a creative symbol of manifestation in many cultures. Known as the ultimate gateway to the knowledge of oneself and the true nature of reality.
Upon the awakening of the serpent energy or naas, the “moist essence of the universe” in the Gnostic view, also known as a kundalini awakening. The serpent energy coiled at the base of spine makes its ascend upwards into the brain and ignites all of the pathways, as the synapses begin firing wildly. This activation serves as the initial link between the metaphysical and physical reality of existence. Allowing the seeker to acquire his first evolutionary step into heightened awareness.
This tree of life, allows the initiate to travel between the three worlds as depicted in shamanic practice. Creating the connection needed to be established between physical and non physical reality. When this bridge is formed the seeker connects with the lower and higher dimensional beings as well as animal spirit totems.
Yet, this is just one of five trees of life, and the secret of the five trees is what we are here to talk about today.
