A New Look at the Old Tree of Life
“Let no one enter here who is ignorant of geometry”
—Plato’s Academy—
The Tree of Life components on this site are based on the ten ideal numbers zero thru nine, the Sun, Moon and nine planets, and the twelve zodiac signs. The images of the Tree of Life are also constructed using only geometrical relationships that can be derived with a straightedge and compass.
There will surely be those who claim to be part of an ancient Kabbalistic tradition who will dispute this approach. These same people tend to ignore the tradition of reexamining the Tree of Life when new information emerges over time. This tradition encourages us to modify the Tree of Life as needed to reharmonize with our revised knowledge over time.
The intention of this work is to encourage seekers to explore alternative attributes and correspondences for the Tree of Life. In so doing they can see how the various components can relate to each other in a more harmonious manner. This even inspire them to embark on there own journey towards wisdom, understanding, and the crown of inner light.
“Make each thing stand on its essence and make the creator sit on his throne”.
