Placement on The Tree of Life

Traveling down the right side of the Tree, basking in the light of the sun where all is visible and distinctions are clear, we develop ego characteristics that permit us to interact effectively in the world of space and time, of past and future. We meet with mentors and guides who gift us with knowledge as we journey forth. The return of spiritual beings on a human journey is depicted on the left side of the Tree as we head towards the place from which we emerged, meeting with threshold guardians who offer opportunities for growth and enlightenment. Its territory is deeply embedded in the dream-like world of the imagination and intuition, kindled by the luminescence of the moon. Here, we sample and test what we have learned. Boundaries and borders blur and blend, and anything seems possible. Viewing the totality of the journey along the pathways of the Tree reminds us that even in the most challenging of times there is always hope as circumstances are fluid and possibilities proliferate.
