The Truth About Trees… Part 10

Read More

Most people have all sorts of preconceived ideas about trees that are wrong. As I mentioned earlier, trees are Group Entities not Individuals, like us.

So when you look at a particular tree, you are in fact looking at a member of a Tree Group; who may or may not, be a good representative of the group.

We tend to look at the part of the tree, that is visible above ground, and assume that we are looking at ‘The Tree.’

The truth of the matter is, we are only looking at part of the tree, that represents the group.

The tree’s head is in the ground.

The roots, ( it’s feeding system ) are the most important part of the tree, just as our head is to us. In fact, the tree’s head is in Mother Earth; and body hangs out of the ground, into Father Sky.

I’m not sure if they are upside-down or we are? You see, we have these things called legs, that hold us away from Mother Earth, and give us a different point of view.

It is also interesting to note that for every two inches ( 10 cms ) in length above ground, there is a corresponding length of root below ground.

Likewise, the texture of the wood in a root is very different to the wood in the tree’s trunk or branches.

The tree’s centre of consciousness is sited where the roots and trunk meet. This is usually just above ground level and can be seen as change in surface texture.

If a tree is cut through above this level, the tree will probably re-grow; but, if cut below this level. It will probably die.

So if you want to talk to a tree, talk to it’s roots not it’s branches and leaves.

More to come….
