THE TREE OF LIFE

1-23-98 - VISION - As I was falling asleep, I was watching two little girls playing with a ball of light. They ended up standing on the ball of light which was flaming around their feet, but it was not hot. It was cool white light.

In the dream that followed, I was shown this symbol which is very similar to the Tree Of Life.

It was made all of golden light flowing like golden threads between golden balls of light. I watched it for a long time. It was so beautiful, it still makes me cry to think about how beautiful it was.

6-13-99 - DREAM - I was near a city park somewhere. In the park was a dead tree, peeled of all it's bark. All it's branches and leaves were gone. I knew that when the cops caught a criminal, they peeled all the bark off a tree. I was standing, pinned between a large tree which I was hugging and a black wrought iron fence about 5 feet high. There seemed to be something behind me as well because I could not move backwards either. I was trying to figure out how the cops could peel the bark off this tree to catch the 'other' criminal while I was pinned to it. I was struggling to move away from the tree, but it was impossible.

End of Dream

After I woke up and was laying there remembering my dreams, I first had a vision of a futuristic black lazer gun hanging in the air, and then heard a voice say, "You influence the Pentagon".

A rather heady message to be sure, but I find Geralds' and this dream list's opinions to be of more value. :-)

Love, Light, and Joy

Lady Dee

*****************

I lay down to meditate on the tree dream to find out if I missed anything important in the dream. I was shown another bare trunked tree without branches and shown that I had dreamed about it before:

5-12-98 - DREAM - I went back and forth between typing on a computer page about alien abduction and people dreams. The most memorable people dream was this: I was sitting by the window at my 16th St. house and the tree in the backyard began swinging it's branches like they were arms and the branches jumped off the top of the tree like leaping into the next yard to start its own tree. Meanwhile the remaining tree trunk turned white and died. Although no people seemed to be involved, I could see that the stumps of the tree were obviously sawed.

EOD

11-14-98 - VISION - I saw a piece of white paper. The words, "WHAT IF?" appeared and below it was a bunch of scribbles like an explosion drawn by a child. I flipped the paper over and the word 'SEE' appeared on the left side of more explosion scribbles and a tree trunk and all branches were gone. All that was left was the bare trunk.

Howdee! Lady Dee,

Boy! you are quick on your skates today. Hey! Thanks for Joel! Wow! Rapido Presto!

This version seems to be fine. I especially love this passage here...

15 Ah, ah, ah, for the day: because the day of the Lord is at hand,...

How funny?!! ah! ah! ah! :)

Anyways, a most wonderful dream again... and don't worry it's not scary, just exciting a little... because the Big Gun is on your side... Beware Pentagon! :)

I also love this possible link to the two trees of Revelation... which could very well be another solid lead?

I tell you what... we'll sleep on it and see what the Night will bring? This dream has many folds!

Great Work! Lady Dee! In the Best of Both Worlds!

Cheers! To You!

Now, this thing about a Tree getting peeled by the cops, when they caught a criminal, reminds me very much of a major criminal by the name of Jesus who a couple thousands of years ago or so, according to some was pinned to a Tree, like a butterfly in a collection, instead than on a couple crossed plancks of wood!!

So, the next criminal in this case, which could get pinned on this tree which has not yet been barked is obviously the Coming One... the Great King of Terror, which is always the most hated man in the world when he comes in the flesh!!! :)

It is very well known and established fact that whenever he comes in the flesh at a certain time he becomes the most wanted dangerous criminal on the planet and of course because he is a shit-disturber all the authorities want to get rid of him and kill him... which is quite normal in a materialistic minded world!

However, his chances of survival in the present society in a world of communication his chances of survival are a slightly better than usual especially if some people work to prevent this calamity. Yes! Exactly as stated by Erich Neumann...

" ....even if at first, the genius is hounded down, starved to death, and silenced by the democracy of consciouness. The fact that millions of human beings work together consciously and are simultaneously concerned with the vital problems of the collective- political, scientific, artistic, or religious- makes the probability of his acceptance ever (not "even"...ever) greater. The time lag between the appearance of a genius and his assimilation by the democracy of consciousness is relatively small. For the Great Individual himself it may be tragic, but so far as humanity is concerned, it is irrelevant." (end of the chapter of "The Group and the Great Individual" taken from "Origins and History of Consciousness, by E. Neumann, p.435)

... which means that if people care enough about the Creator his chances of survival are better because it is obvious that he disturbs the material establishment and those who rule the world by force symbolically represented in this dream by the Pentagon for example.

However, this guy, a tiny poor little human, is much more powerful than anything on Earth, from the Spiritual World point of view... because as the Ruler of both Heaven and Hell, he is the ones who has the last word on who is to live eternally or die in the Spiritual World after material death, of course. He is the one who will judge all the Deads or Ghosts of such, if you prefer and will decide which ones which shall enjoy heavenly bliss or suffer what has been referred as the Second Death.

There is no need to be afraid of powerful earthly establishment like the Pentagon or the nuclear bomb which can surely kill the material because these things cannot destroy nor the souls nor the ghost bodies that we embody in our dreams! :)

"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but who cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Hell." (Mat. 10,28.)

And the Second Death phenomenon is very well explained in the Book of Revelation... in chapter 20...

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

...and again in chapter 21...

6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

... and this is very easy to understand.

For example, take these dreams of these two guys which were killed in recent previous lives by Nuclear Explosions...

Subject: Re: Nuclear explosions

I have had two or three dreams like that.

In the most vivid one, I saw the bright flash way off in the distance, followed by the stereotypical mushroom cloud... it was in absolute silence, because the sound had not reached me yet. (That was the scary part -- it was so realistic.)

I remember I could see the shock wave approaching me -- debris and such -- and I remember thinking, "I'll bet I've already received a lethal dose of radiation. I'll bet I'm dead already."

Very, very spooky.

.... and you see, this guy even noticed that he remained as a ghost afterwards...

Anyone have dreams about nuclear explosions? For some reason I have had a lot of them over the years, sometimes I am killed, and I then continue on as some sort of ghost.

... which is exactly what happens!! :)

However, the terrifying thing bout this promised eternal life is that it can be cut very short for anyone who doesn't believe that the earthly world should be ruled by the same person who rules the Spiritual World... which is exactly what Jesus said for example...

"But those ennemies of mine who did not want me to be King over them - bring them here and kill them in front of me." (Luke 19,27)

... who was making an allusion to what would happen to anyone who didn't want him as the King on earth as soon as they would enter heaven. God is not a mass murderer, but as the life giver in both worlds, he knows what to do with the ungrateful assholes whom he has created and cannot return some little courtesy. :)

Here is a little dream, from Mrs. Barbro Nygren from Sweden, which was posted in the Core of Electric dreams on Fridaty the 6th of march 98, which show this type of power which this funny guy possesses...

Dreamed about a barn and there was a threat. The threat was terrible, more worse than a atomic bomb effect, worse than plague, starvation and dead. I manage to flee down to people so that they could phone to the police. All took protection in a house with glassed-in roof. The threat destroyed everything in its way and suddenly can I see the threat. The threat are on the roof as a shadow and I realizes that, the threat do not become dangerously if I find out what it is. I says to the police to not fire and decides me, in order to see were the threat takes its way. Goes in to the woods, to a cottage. On this garden was all possible things, old automobiles, timber, animals and hens. I see a man that repair an autocycle and I knows that he is the threat in the barn. Then we goes besides each other on a way, talking and the feeling is a calmness.

... and you see, this tiny little friendly guy, who is the Verb, is the Sovereing Lord of Hosts, The Lord of All Spirits!! ... and truly he is more dangerous than anything you could ever imagine... and whether he gets assassinated or allowed to live a long earthly life that doesn't change nothing to the fact that he is the Commander of the Divine Army of Heaven and the appointed Ruler of the Eternal World and the Judge of the Deads! In other words there is nothing which can happen to the Winged-Horse Rider which can alter his presence in the Other World!

So, that is the so-called criminal(s) of the dream of Lady Dee... the one who was crucified nearly 2000 years and who unfortunately is here again... and will cause the big war with his big mouth which is represented by the futuristic weapon also seen by Lady Dee.

However, as I mentioned earlier the main thing in this dream is the confirmation by the scene of the Barked Tree which is that the Day of the Lord is at hand... which is the beauty of this dream... which relates to the prophecy of Joel. Actually, this opens up to all kinds of other things and several other dreams which just occured recently... For example...

17 The beasts have rotted in their dung

... and this of course has reminded me of this dream of mine which I posted a couple weeks ago...

However, the best part of the dream was at the end, when I entered, still with Bob Hart, at dawn, when the day was about to rise, an awful outside court of an Animal Slaughter House. On the south side of the court was the building where they slaughtered the animals. On the north side, was a corral with the animals to be slaughtered... mostly horses and cattle... beautiful and intelligent looking ones. In the courtyard, which was covered by this thick brown-reddish blood and excrement juice, was prevailing an awful stinking putrefaction smell and basically in the center of it was this heap or stack of manure mixed with guts and bone carcasses of dead slaughtered animals. My disgusted eyes were attracted by the pittyful sight of the nearly skinless carcass of a newborn foal which laid on its side, all twisted up, at the bottom southern side of this pile and I was all moved by this inhumane death scenery. To my utmost surprise, the dead foal, who listening to my caring words, opened its eyes and with supreme effort raised its head. I was shocked. A guy, dressed as a city cowboy and working there, came by as I moved around the pile keeping my eyes on this most horrifying foal and told the guy...

"There's a foal which is alive in the pile... why isn't it taken care of?" and he replied something like...

"Yes! it was born when we slaughtered a mare... so how could we take care of it?"

... and as he said that, I could see the foal who was trying to get up and noticed, because it was now resting on its belly, that it had a funny bunched-up pack of bones on its shoulder zone... as the guy escorted me by a wide opened gate to see the animals which were going to be soon slaughtered. My heart was greatly suffering seeing all these beautiful and friendly animals which were coming by themselves to be patted as the sun was rising... still thinking about the poor orphan foal which seemed to desperately wish to live.

Before we decided to head out from this awful place, I went back, by curiosity, to see the poor dying foal for a last time... and, beyong my wildest imagination, it was up, rapidly healing and to my pure wonderment, now up and facing the sun, I noticed that it had grown up quite a bit, to the size of one which was about a month old or so???... and was now drying up and proudly STRETCHING AND EXERCISING ITS WINGS of which I could see the bones especially the larger ones at the base which were still exposed and not yet totally healed... as it was moving its wings up and down... and happily thought to myself...

"This Newborn of the Dead... "Baby Winged-Horsed-Sun" won't be staying here, in this filthy death place, much longer... whether the people care about it or not?!!"

...as I finally walked out of this animal hecatomb with a bizarre feeling of mixed emotions caused by the sight of this unthinkable victory of life of over death which somehow put a big smile on my face."

always remember... as stated in Psalms 68,20...

From: gdaoust@icrdl.net (Gerald D'Aoust)

Dear Dreamers,

This Wish Granting Tree which is growing through my Ghost Body is most revealing attribute of an Eternal Life-Giving Diety... it is very simple and again universal. I am doing here a little again cross-cultural presentation on the subject as usual... and I must have about 5 times more material on this magical tree, from all the Mythologies which I am not even touching here, but that should be enough... for today.

This first time the story comes from Islam and relates to the Trees of Paradise which the Muslims call the Garden.... and comes from a book which I don't even have the title... but is divided into some 46 short chapters which all begin by "Concerning" this or that... and the following is from the 45th chapter, from pages 129 to 132...which is entitled "Concerning the Trees and Houris of the Garden". The Houris are somekind of Fairies and I will expose only the Trees.

"Ka'b, may Allah be pleased with him, said: " I asked the Messenger of Allah about the Trees of the Garden", and he, the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, said:

"Their branches do not dry up nor their leaves fall and their fruits do not vanish. The largest of the trees of the Garden is the Tree of Tuba. Its roots are of pearl, its trunk of ruby, its branches of chrysolite, and its leaves of silk brocade. On it are seventy thousand branches, and these branches are connected to a leg of the Throne (of Allah). The nearest of its branches are in the nearest heaven. There is not a room, nor a dome, nor a tree in the Garden that doesn't have a branch of the Tree of Tuba shading it. Its roots are in Heaven and its light reaches every corner. On it are fruits whose rareness is desired in this world, and which are not in this world."

As Allah-ta'ala said:

"Its clusters nigh to gather, Eat and Drink with wholesome appetite, for what you did long ago, in the days gone by." ( Holy Kuran, 69:23-24 )

"When the wind blows, the leaves of the Tree strike each other, and a sound comes from them whose beauty has not been heard. From its top come out "Robes of Honour" (Immortal Ghostly Spiritual Bodies), and from its base "Horses with Wings", saddled with saddles inlaid in pearl and ruby, which do not drop dung nor urinate. The Awliya (friends) of Allah ride them, and fly with them in the Garden."

"Those who are lower than them will say: " O Lord, for what reason have you given these "Servants of Yours" this Karama (Miracle)?"

"So, Allah-ta'ala will say to them: " These are the Ones who prayed while you were sleeping, fasted while you ate, fought Jihad while you were sitting with your women, and were spending their wealth in the Way of Allah while you were miserly."

And so the Prophet, peace be upon him said: " In the Garden is a Tree, and a Rider (on a Winged-Horse) could travel for one hundred years in its shade and not pass from it."

As Allah-ta'ala said:

"Have you not regarded your Lord, how he extended the shadows? (3:19)

And so the Prophet, peace be upon him said: "Shall I tell you about an Hour which is most like the Hours of the Garden? It is the Hour which is before the Rising of the Sun, when its Shade spreads."

********************

So, you see the Winged-Horse Burak is associated with this Magical Tree... and now let's go to India...

The best narrative illustration of the powers of this most fantastic Jewel can be found in "The Jatakas"... in the Vidhura Pandita Jataka...

#545 Vol.VI , book XII, p.127 to 156.... or in your language, if you prefer, may be translated as " Stories of the Buddha's Former Births", translated by H.T.Francis, Cambridge and by various hands, under the editiorship of Professor E.B.Caldwell, published in 1973, by the Pali Text Society, London, with the collaboration by the UNESCO Collection of Representative Works... just to know where it comes from... and beginning by a dream, goes something like this...

"Now on that very day on morning-tide (I love those Indian words) the King saw a dream, and this is what he saw. At the door of the King's palace there stood a Great Tree... whose trunk was Wisdom, and whose branches and boughs were like Virtues, and its fruits the five sacred products of the Holy Cow, and it was covered with Elephants and Horses richly caparisoned; and a great multitude with folded hands were worshipping it with all reverence.

Then a man, clothed in red cloth, and wearing hearings of red flowers, and bearing weapons in his hand, came up and cut the tree down by the roots in spite of the expostulations of the multitude, and dragged it off and went away, and trhen came back and planted it again in its old place and departed.

Then the King as he comprehended the dream said to himself, "The sage Vidhura and no one else is like the Great Tree; that youth and no other, who carried off the sage, is like the man who cut the tree down by the roots in spite of the expostulations of the multitude; and verily he will come back and set him at the door of the Hall of Thruth and depart. We shall behold the Seer again today."

So he joyfully ordered the whole city to be decorated and the Hall of Thruth to be got ready and a pulpit in a pavillion adorned with jewels; and himself surrounded by a hundred kings, with their counsellors, and a multitude of citizens and country people, he consoled them all by saying, " Fear not, you will see the Sage again to-day", and he seated himself in the Hall of Thruth, looking for the Sage's return."

In this very long but very good story of one of the lives of Buddha, the Buddha tells about his life as Vidhura when he soared in the Air with the Winged-Horse... to obtain the Fabulous Jewel... which would allow him to obtain the hand of a beautifulful princess.

In the story, Vidhura is a poor guy, and in order to receive some respect from the King... he decides to use the name of a previous incarnation... Punnakha... who himself had also flown on the Winged-Horse and had obtained the Jewel of the Universal Monarch. ... all in perspective that the Buddha, that we know, also flew on the Winged-Horse.

But, being poor, he also decides to challenge the King to play a gambling game... in which he will bet his own Winged-Horse which is the most fantastic Jewel of the World.

"Punnaka, having mounted his horse, a charger fit for bearing the gods, himself richly adorned... went through the Sky!" (132)... actually it looks as if Punnaka obtained his "charger with ears of gold and hooves of ruby, and mail-armour of molten gold" from Varuna ( the other one which flew on the Winged-Horse!) ... and goes to see Kuvera... (the Horse-Headed God).... before going to get that glorious Jewel of the Universal Monarch.

"Now there is a precious jewel of price belonging to the Universal Monarch, in the Vepulla Mountain ...."

" When he saw the glorious precious gem thus flashing light, gleaming so splendidly with its beauty, shining like lightning in the sky,- he at once seized the precious lapis lazuli, the jewel of priceless value, and mounted on his peerless steed, himself of noble beauty, he rushed through the space in the Sky!" (134)

And then he went to the King and presented himself to him under the name of a previous life...and said that he was Punnaka... and offered the King to gamble for the Jewel of the Universal Monarch.

"This is a fascinating jewel of mine, it is a glorious jewel which brings wealth:

and the gamester who conquers me shall win this peerless steed which

plagues all ennemies."

When the King heard him, he replied:

"What will one Jewel do, O Youth? and what will one thoroughbred avail? Many precious jewels belong to a King, and many peerless steeds swift like the wind."

When he heard the King's speech, he said, "O King, why dost thou say this? There is one Horse, and there are also a thousand and a hundred thousand horses ; there is one Jewel, and there are also a thousand jewels; but all the horses put together are not equal to this one, see what its swiftness is."

So saying, he mounted the Horse and galoped it along the top of a wall, and the city wall seven leagues in lenght was as it were surrounded by horses striking neck against neck, and in the course of time neither horse nor Yakkha (Ghost-Rider) could be distinguished, and a single strip of of red cloth tied on his belly seemed to be spread out all round the wall.

Then he alighted from the Horse, and, telling him that he had now seen the Steed's Swiftness, he bade him mark something new : and lo he made the Horse gallop within the city garden on the surface of the water, and he leapt without wetting his hoofs; then he made him walk on the leaves of the lotus beds, and when he clapped his hand and stretched out his arm the Horse came and stood upon the palm of his hand. Then he said, "This is indeed a Jewel of a Horse!"

"It is indeed, O Youth!"

"Well, let the Jewel of the Horse be put on side for a while, - see now the Power of the Precious Jewel."

"O Greatest of Men, behold this peerless Jewel of Mine ; in it are the (spiritual) bodies of women and the bodies of men ; the bodies of beasts are in it and the bodies of birds, the Naga Kings and suppanas, - all are created in this Jewel."

"An Elephant Host, a Chariot Host, Horses, foot-soldiers, and banners, - behold this complete army created in the Jewel; elephant-riders, the king's body-guard, warriors fighting from chariots, warriors fighting from foot, and troops in battle array, - behold all created in this Jewel.

"See, on the slopes of the mountains, troops of various deer, lions, tigers, boars, bears, wolves, and hyenas; rhinoceroses, gayals, buffaloes, red deer, rurus, antelopes, wild boars, nimkas and hogs, spotted kadali-deer, cats, rabbits, all kinds of Hosts of Beasts, created in the Jewel.

(Please note that word Host means in this context...Angel or Spirit!)

"Rivers well situated, paved with golden sand, clear with flowing waters and filled with quantities of fishes; crocodiles, sea-monsters are here and porpoises and tortoises...

"Behold created in the Jewel all kinds of trees, filled with various birds, and a forest with its branches made of lapis lazuli.

" See various troops of birds in the roads under the gateways, geese, herons, peacocks, ruddy geese and ospreys; cuckoos, spotted birds...- birds of every sort behold gathered together and created in the jewel.

"See parks and forests, crags and mountains, pleasant to look at and full of strange monsters, - all created in the Jewel.

"Behold created in this Jewel a city furnished with solid foundations and with many gateways and walls, and with many pleasant spots where four roads meet. Pillars and trenches, bars and bolts, watch-towers and gates, - behold all created in the Jewel.

"See a marvelous city with grand walls, making the hair stand erect with wonder, pleasant with banners upraised, and with its sands all of gold, - see the hermitages divided in blocks, and the different houses and their yards, with streets and blind lanes between.

"Behold the drinking shops and taverns, the slaughter-houses and cooks, shops, and the harlots and wantons, created in the Jewel. The garland-weavers, the washermen, the astrologers, the cloth merchants, the gold workers, the jewellers - behold created in the Jewel.

"See drums and tambours, conchs and tambourines and all kinds of cymbals, created in the Jewel.

"Cymbals and lutes, dance and song well executed, musical instruments and gongs, behold all created in the Jewel.

"Jumpers and wrestlers too are here, and a sight of jugglers, and royal bards and barbers, behold created in the Jewel.

"Crowds are gathered here of men and women, see the seats tiers beyond tiers created in the Jewel.

"See the Sun and the Moon, shining on the four sides, as they go around Mount Sineru, - all created in the Jewel.

"See the Earth surrounded by the Sea, with water everywhere, and diversified with trees. See too lakes well distributed in the four corners, filled with quantities of birds and abounding with fishes with broad scales, - all created in the Jewel.

"See Sineru and Himavat and the miraculous sea and the four Guardians of the World - created in the Jewel.

"Indra's Gardens... and his palace Vejajanta, - behold all created in the ."Indra's Palace Sudhamma (Sidharma... Spirit of the Sidh)... the Heaven of the Thirty-Three (Buddhas), the Heavenly Tree Pariochatta in full flower, and Indra's Elephant Airavata, behold created in the Jewel.

"See here the maidens of the gods risen like lightning in the air, and wandering about in the Nandana, - all created in the Jewel.

"See the heavenly maidens bewitching the sons of heaven, and the sons of heaven wandering about, all created in the Jewel.

"Behold more than a thousand palaces covered with Lapis Lazuli, all created with brilliant colors in the Jewel.

"And the beings of the Tavatimsa Heaven and the Yama heaven and the Tusita heaven, and those of the Paranimmita heaven all created in the Jewel.

"See here pure lakes with transparent water (amrita) covered with heavenly coral trees and lotuses and water-lilies.

"O King, best of Men, look at this bright flame like Jewel, perfect in all parts, - this the destined reward for him who wins."

And Vidhura spoke the thruth to the King.... and the text is much longer... and finally at the end Vidhura wins everything even the Kingship among all Kings.

And the real Punnaka, gave a signal to the Horse who was endowed with reason, and he forthwith bounded into the sky, carrying the Seer.

"The Prince of Horses bearing Vidhura went up into the sky and soon reached the Kalagiri (Black Mountain) without coming into contact with the boughs of trees or the rocks."

Anyways, the Story is too long... but finally at the end they say that ...

"Abiding his teachings, and following their King all the inhabitants of the Kuru Kingdom gave gifts and performed good works and at the end of their lives went to swell the hosts of Heaven!"

******************************************

Anyways, here is a dream of Nanette to illustrate the Up Rooting of the Tree of Life...

I was with Victor (Eric Braeden/Y&R...an actor) and his friend Douglas. We were at Victor's property where he was going to build a ranch. We were standing there (I don't recall a house, but we were looking out a window) when suddenly, out of nowhere, a storm started brewing. The skies were black. It was going to be a bad one. I wondered if we should even bother putting our cars in the garage, thinking they'd probably get damaged there as well. Directly in front of us stood a tree. It was of medium height (25-30 feet), had a trunk 4 feet in diameter and had millions of leaves which were small and waxy. Suddenly, out of the right side of the leaves there appeared a small, dimpled looking, beluga whale. The whale looked to be struggling to escape the leaves and branches; feet first, if you will.

It finally broke free, but was then sucked immediately back in. Next, all of the leaves began turning color; green to black to white, finally turning into doves (but not flying away, staying in the tree). Next the doves turned into twelve ghosts (like Casper, The Friendly Ghost). All you can see are their heads poking through the leaves. I stood there in awe at what had transpired; my mind trying to comprehend all I had seen. In the blink of an eye, the storm had passed. The tree before us now forever broken. The trunk had been snapped completely off and was now shattered and splintered on each end. But the amazing thing was that the treetops were still in tact, hanging ominously above the tree stump, while the trunk itself was levitating sideways between the treetop and the stump. The kinetic energy surrounding us from the storm was remarkable. I grabbed my journal to write everything down that had happened. Over my shoulder, Victor began reading some of my previous entries (personal comments, quotes I'd made up and observations). One in particular, and my favorite, caught his eye. He read it out loud. I said to him, "You know, I felt like I had been touched by the hand of God when I wrote that. It was the most amazing feeling." I felt a buzzing feeling within my body. My blood flowed through me like electricity. I took my journal and sat down to write what we had all witnessed. My mind is racing, my hand can't process my thoughts fast enough. As I write, I suddenly realize that I'm sitting there topless (half naked), but I don't care. I'm wearing a brand new pair of jeans, the tag hanging off one of those plastic strings that are so annoying. I feel the coolness of the table as my bare breasts rub against it as I continue writing. I write faster and faster, not wanting to forget a single thing, my head nearly resting on the table by my hand. Victor watches me, mesmerized. I can feel myself get lightheaded, like I might pass out from the sheer exhiliration of it all. I feel my body start to tip over sideways, out of my chair. I find it increasingly hard to breathe. I take deeper and deeper breaths, reminding myself to breathe in and out. I wonder if Victor will catch me before I fall to the ground. (7/21/96) #446

Also, in Buddhism, we know that it's an attribute of we already covered that already... but once again, from "Buddhism and Lamaïsm of Tibet", pages 86-88.

"Godly Birth. The God is born at once "fully developed" within a halo of glory from a lotus flower.- the oriental symbol of immaterial birth and is provided with the special attributes of a God, viz, (1) a lotus-footstool, (2) splendid dress and ornaments, (3) goddess-companions (Apsaras, celestial nymphs- the "houris" awarded to heroes.), (4) a wish-granting Tree, which instantly yields any fruit or food wished for, and bends to the hand of the gatherer, its leaves yielding luscious food, its juice nectar, and its fruit jewels, (5) a wish-granting cow which yields any drink wished for, (6) self-sprung crops (usually painted as Indian corn or maize), ***** (7) in a golden stall...a jeweled Horse-of-foreknowledge which Pegasus-like carries his rider wherever wished, through-out the worlds of the past, present, and future,***** (8) a lake of perfumed nectar or ambrosia (Skt., Amrita) which is the elixir vitae and the source of the divine lustre. The cup-bearer is Dhanwantari, the Indian Ganymede. Shining is a peculiarly divine attribute, and the etymology of the word "divinity", is the root Div, "to shine", the parent of the Skt. Deva and latin Deus."

You see, my Dreaming friends, the Tree in #4 and again the Pegasus Horse. They go together... because the Winged-Horse is the Guardian of this fabulous Tree.

In the Judeo-Christian Lore the Tree of Life is called the Tree of Knowledge...

Chapter 2

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

2 By the seventh day God had finished (or ceased- also in verse 3) the work that he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.

When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens-5 and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground-7 the Lord God formed the man (the Hebrew for man, adam, may be related to the Hebrew for ground, adamah; it is also the name Adam) from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

I dont think that there is any need to tell the story of Adam and Eve with this Tree, and I think that this story has been totally distorted by the Priests of Christianity??? I'm not sure but it looks as if they made it totally the contrary of what it is supposed to be... and I think that was made to treat woman as inferior being... because God wants everybody to eat from the Tree of Life Eternal. Normal phallocratic Judeo-Christian Priests behavior. :)

However, the same tree reappears in a better context in the Book of Revelation... beginning with 2,7...

7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

... and then the Tree of Life to Heal the Nations reappears in chapter 22 from 22,2 to 22,14... but in the context of the New World wished by All...

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death of mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, sand its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were tree gates on the east, three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, it's gates and it's walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using. 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 The fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 221 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.

24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, not will anyone who does what is shameful and deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing form the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will ive them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

6 The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.

7 "Behold I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."

8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!"

10 Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. 11 Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy."

12 "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he had done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.

17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the fee gift of the water of life.

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take way from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon."

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people.

Amen.

*****************

Now, you can see why the stupid Priests did not dare to touch this one that much, although you have to change the stupid translation Lamb of God "Agnelus Dei" by Angel of God "Angelus Dei" if you wish to see what the Winged-Horse is doing there??

20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon."

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

*****************

Anyways, I hope for your own eternal sake that you'll be able to understand a little something here... after all, all the Holy Scriptures have been written for a good purpose...

"Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? When the dead rise... they will be like the angels in heaven." (Words of Jesus in Mark 12, 24-25)

...and bear in mind...

7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

...and hope that some of you can understand that the Spirit is the Winged-Horse... as menioned several places in the Bible and the Coran and so many other Holy Books.

"And I saw heaven open and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him....is called the Word of God...amid flaming fire (thunder and lightning)... (Rev.19,11)

"The Lord(Christos) shall be revealed with his mighty angel in flaming fire." (2 Thessalonians 1,7-8)

"Glory be to Him, who carried his Servant by Night from the sacred temple of Mecca to the Temple that is more remote, whose precinct we have blessed, that we might show him of our signs, for He is the Hearer and the Seer" (Qur'an 17,1)

OK! That is not all that bad for a start, and feel free to eat from the Tree of Life if you believe in dreams...

"For the Days of the Lord are coming..... . And it shall come to pass afterward, saith God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.

Even on my servants and handmaidens I will pour out, in those days, my Spirit; and they shall prophesy." (Joël 2.28-30 in the Old Testament and in the New Testament in Acts 2.16-18.)

"He who does not believe in the true dream does not believe in Allah nor in the Day of Reckoning!!" (Mohammed)

...and if you don't, no problem. :)

Thanks, does that shake your Tree? :)
