Mini "Tree" Poll

[Guest guest]

Hi Hilary,

 

Fun to see one of your polls here.

 

I was thinking of an inner tree just today,

as also Jan has mentioned a tree here on HS.

 

But the tree I'm thinking about may not be the same thing that Wim means, or

what you are looking for to be included in the poll.

Well, take it or leaf it, here's my tree.

 

The tree is constant, growing from somewhere

in the lower body (the root chakra ?) up through the middle of the body (the

trunk) to the base of the skull, where the trunk first widens into a crown. The

tree crown includes the head.

 

I take this to be the sight (inner sight, the tree shining golden colored) and

presence of nerves and fascicles in the spine, going up to the base of the brain

and nerves and energy in the brain itself.

 

Not very exciting and mystical or ?

The tree is simply just there.

But of course its presence feels very good.

 

In the beginning, the top of the tree, the crown, looked and felt like a broad

wedge of light driven down between the brain hemispheres to split the skull (?).

The sight of this wedge made me a little bit nervous, so I must say I like the

image of a golden tree with a wide crown better.

 

Right before writing this, I watched a travel program on tv about England and

the Glastonbury Tor in South England. The Glastonbury Tor is a site which King

Arthur is said to have visited during his search for the Holy Grail.

 

It hit me that the nerve tree with an added base as broad as the tree crown,

that of the root chakra and the nerves of the upper legs, create the shape of a

medieval goblet seen in profile... May this be the Holy Grail ?

 

 

Love,

 

Amanda.

Dear Amanda,

Well, no it is right. It is altogether perfect. In me, the mystical tree

developed from descriptions that are similar to yours. From very young on, I

have done a lot of tree work. When I was 6, working with clay and later in

linocuts, painting etc. My last name is Borsboom... Boom means tree in

Dutch, or can mean trunk like the boom you use as a gate. Or booming

grounds.

Oh no, mystical enough, just tell your next door neighbour and s/he will

look at you funny. Probably thinks you are a mystic.

Mystical, not?
