Tree of Life wasn’t a tree!

Greetings Earthlings,
What if the ancient Mesopotamian Tree of Life wasn’t a tree? Would the petals have been a gas or some other substance? Must say it was a weird tree. And the guys with the flower bracelets, pine cones and handbags? Either it was a fun party or technology?

I always saw the handbags as representative of the transfer of the DNA

Some people think it is showing us how to pollinate plants? :thinking:

Analogically it struck me as a sort of “cow bell” to call in the herd by the gods.

One thing I (re?)learnt recently is that the Tree of Life and Tree of Knowledge are often said to be two different things.

Also, the ‘true’ representation of the trees is said to be upside down. Their Roots go up to heaven to connect with God. Because their home, root, basis is at the higher frequencies. Earth and Malkuth are lower frequencies .

So in some sense, Malkuth is the little leaves, not the root at all . hm

Riffing on that; just think about the shamans travelling deep into the earth, and other ‘priests’ , using the root system to connect with the ultimate spirit. Maybe they were using them as astral tunnels not to go into the Earth, but into ‘Heaven’
hm
