LIFE LOVES LIGHT
This site is an exploration of a modified approach to explaining a Kabbalistic Tree of Life system. The Tree of Life images on this site is based on the ten ideal numbers zero thru nine, a threefold formation schema, and is constructed using geometrical relationships derived using only a straightedge and compass. This exercise is intended to encourage people to seek out different types of attributes and correspondence systems, which are based on demonstratable relationships that can be made between all the different components being used to construct the Tree of Life. The ultimate goal is to find the most harmonious relationships between the components, concepts and design of the Tree of Life as possible.
My intentions are that others might be inspired by these ideas to take a leap of faith into the vast abyss of knowledge, without any preconceptions of truth, fear of being wrong, or the lust to be right. I can only hope to inspire a few seekers of truth to embark on their own rugged ride of self-discovery without prejudice as they search for wisdom, understanding, and the crown of inner light.
Whether the western variations of the Tree of Life are actually superior to the Judaic versions is irrelevant. The important thing to keep in mind is that there are no past models of the Tree of Life that are exactly the same, or sometimes even closely similar, and by no means should it be assumed that there is only one correct model from either the east or the west. The various constructs of the Tree of Life were just different attempts to organize what they knew about life, at the particular time and place, to better understand how everything might fit together in a meaningful way.
To reconsider a past presumption, or to rebuild an old construct from the ground up, are how great new discoveries can be made. Modern science often makes these archaic approaches to understanding how life works obsolete and even ridiculous to students of modern sciences; however, that does not mean that they are all without value or worthy of any more consideration. The exercise of reexamining a subject can still be very stimulating to our brains and the process of completely reworking it from the ground up might even help us focus our minds on higher levels of consciousness a little better. This in turn could even shine more light on things about life that we may not have otherwise even been able to see before.
There have been many different approaches to the Tree of Life over the years, but they are often overlooked because of all the versions proposed by a few popularized esoteric schools that dominate the bookshelves. Some of them even claim to be part of an ancient unchangeable esoteric tradition just to gain more validity or authenticity. However, the most important Kabbalistic tradition that most people overlook is the tradition of updating the Tree of Life construct whenever new factual information about life is learned. These proposed updates to the Tree of Life are not as radical as it may seem, except perhaps to those who are already fully invested in another system and fear losing their authority or even their whole sense of reality. In fact, this approach may actually help someone to better understand how all the components of Tree of Life can actually relate to each other in a more harmonious manner.

But it’s not enlightenment:
People fool themselves.
