The tree of life, Adam's dream

God had created the universe, the sun, moon, stars, earth, the animals, the flowers and the trees. Then he created man. But this man was all alone. He walked around paradise to explore everything and in the evening he was tired. He laid himself to sleep on some moss under an ash tree. And he dreamed about what he was, why he was created, who created him, what was the purpose, and so on. But the ash tree felt the vibrations of that strange creature lying under his branches, and he listened. The whole night he listened to the dreams of Adam, and when he woke up, the ash learned what this Adam was all about. So the ash tree discovered the ancient wisdom that made man what he is. The seeds of the ash where not so powerful, so he decided to let his roots come to the surface to make another tree, just like him. He decided to create an image for Adam, that when he came back, he would understand himself as the ash tree learned from his dreams. Ten trees he created. First he let the roots come out to the north and to the south. One in the light and one in the shadow. Then two more, one to the east, to see the sun rise, and one to the west, to see the sun set, day after day. The one on the south got enough sunlight to grow, so to the left and right of that one, he created two more ash trees, all with his roots. That were already six ash trees, just like him. He let his roots grow more to the south, and created a new ash. To the left and right he created two more, and to end his story, he created the last one south, of the one south of south. He gave his children names, and numbered them from one to ten, like the shape of a bolt of lightning. He called himself the ash tree of life, the one who learned the ancient wisdom. Number one was the one most north. He called him Crown. You my son, are the Crown on the head of our creator, wear it with pride, realize that the creation itself was the Crown on Gods work. He created one single point of energy, that exploded, and formed all of the universe. You represent a point, the point that formed all the other dimensions, your brothers, my sons, my little forest. Number two was on his right. I call you wisdom, my son, because your brother, Crown, is only one simple fact. But Wisdom is more than just one fact, it is an infinite line of facts. You are one dimension, the Wisdom that all comes out of the creation, your brother, Crown, the big bang. The one on his left, number three, he called Insight. You my son represent two dimensions. Because besides wisdom, you must extend it to Insight, like a puzzle, the pieces must fall together to form the whole picture. You’re a flat surface, that gives a glimpse of the complexity of all the dimensions, the creation. You’re an image, and you form with all your brothers a glimpse of Adam, man, created to Gods image. My upper tree children, you are the head of Adam. You are the fire of his thoughts, his imagination, his illusions, his dreams. Then he said to number four, also on the right but below Wisdom, you I call Judgment. You are three dimensions, a space, earth, and beyond. Beware of Judgment, when you only use your senses. You see space, but that is only one moment, and you cannot judge on one moment only. You must know it all to be able to judge. You carry a sword in the right hand, that cuts two ways. So use it wisely, with care. Number five was on the left. Mercy, I name you. You are the fourth dimension, you’re time, space in motion. You are the movie that is recorded by all your senses. Have Mercy with the time that you are. Because your senses might deceive you, because there is more than what you see with your senses. Have Mercy on mankind and his actions, time will learn, time will tell, what is the right thing to do. You carry a shield on your arm, to force on Mercy. By being merciful, you’ll catch the blows of the sword your brother Judgment bears. The one south of him he called Beauty. You are number six, the fifth dimension. Man makes choices, all the time, to find Beauty. Every choice he makes is to make his life more beautiful. But only when man realizes that Beauty can be found in everything, he becomes what God intended him to be. Good, kind, generous, helpful, the Beauty in man. A man has to have a heart. The second three ash trees, you are the wind, the air. You’re the arms and the chest of Adam. You represent his emotions, his feelings, things man must learn to control. Because those things are like a cup filling up. And when the cup overflows, there is an imbalance occurring, and that means problems. Number seven, my son, I call you Steadfastness. You are on the left side, you’re the left leg of man. You are what man desires, what he expects. He wants things to go like clockwork, and will try to do all to achieve that. He wants control, he needs a base, a place he can call his home. You are the sixth dimension, my son, the desire of man to live in a perfect world where nothing goes wrong. But trust me, man doesn’t control the dimensions higher than five. He will see his base destroyed, or his wife raped, and his children forced into slavery. If that is what God desires. Number eight, to the right of Steadfastness, you are Glory. You are the right leg of man. In battle, man puts forward his right leg, swings his sword with his right arm, to achieve Glory in battle. His left leg, he places behind you, to ground himself, to be able to fall back on something. He carries his shield in his left arm, for protection. You are the seventh dimension, the quest for immortality of a creature bound to die. He cannot control you. Glory is in the hands of God. One day, you’re glorious, the next day, you’re forgotten. Below Steadfastness and Glory, but in the middle, you my son are Foundation. You’re number nine, the eight dimension. You are the Foundation of man. Between his two legs are his genitals, and fundamentally, he is nothing more than one who carries the ability to procreate. Thus he can establish some sort of immortality, he tries to find in Glory. But also his Foundation, he has not in control. You might look after your children, so they find a mate, and make sure of offspring, but what about his children? And his children’s children? That is in Gods hands. You three ashes, are the third element water. You are what man basically needs. You are what he lusts for. Then he came to the last one, the one south of the south one. My son, you’re number ten, you are Kingdom. You are my only child who is material, all my other children only exist in an imaginative world, that Adam created in his dreams. You are the ninth dimension. The one who wears a Crown, needs a Kingdom, right? Earth, the whole creation, all the universes are Gods Kingdom where he rules. He gives man freedom of choice, in time, in space, but he controls the higher dimensions, beyond the reach of man. But after creating all his children, the ash Ancient Wisdom, was old. He was rotting from the inside out. He said to his children, my time has come to leave you now. Remember who you are, why you are, and teach Adam, because soon, he will be back. Zero dimensions, plus nine dimensions, makes ten. I’m the eleventh dimension. I will be with you always, until the end of time. You might forget about me, but I’ll be there when the time is right. The next day, Adam passed the forest of 11 trees. Ten of them were in good shape, but he noticed the hollow one in the middle. You I will cut down, because I need some wood to keep my fire burning. Besides, in a storm you might break and damage the trees around you, and you don’t want that, do you? And while Adam was cutting down Ancient Wisdom, branch after branch, and finally the trunk, the ten children whispered in Adams ears what they were told to tell by their father. Even while Adam was using the old ash to keep his fire burning, they kept on whispering. Finally Adam realized what the tree of life was all about. He saw all the wisdom the trees gave him. Then he used his insight, and knew what God wanted from him. Crown: There is only one God Wisdom: I shall not worship false idols Insight: I shall not take Gods name in vain Judgment: I shall honor my mother and father, I may not judge them Mercy: One day in the week is for God, and I will worship him, instead of working Beauty: I shall not kill Steadfastness: I choose to stay with one woman Glory: I shall not steal, because there is no Glory in that Foundation: I shall not lie, because a lie is no foundation for anything good Kingdom: I shall not want what belongs to another.
