July 17-18 The Recreation of the Tree of Life in the Conscious Convergence

[Guest guest]

Ancient traditions of our planet almost universally looked upon the four

geographical directions as Sacred. The origin of this sacredness of the

directions is that they since the beginning of time have played a role in the

ongoing creation of our planet and its evolution of consciousness. Naturally

then, many peoples all over the world have performed ceremonies to honor these

four directions. The four directions were thought to be associated with

different spiritual qualities and so were often each symbolized by a guardian

angel as described for instance in the Book of Revelation. From many traditions,

such as the Mayan, it is also clear that the four (and sometimes six, if " above "

and " below " is included) directions emanate from the Tree of Life. The Tree of

Life is the most widespread of all ancient myths, and it was seen as the center

of the four directions. Examples of how the energies of the four directions were

organized around a center we may find in the Medicine Wheels in the West or the

Mandalas of the East.

In the modern era the knowledge about the Tree of Life and the Four Sacred

Directions has essentially disappeared and been replaced by a purely

quantitative GPS system. While modern people typically acknowledge for instance

cultural difference between the East and the West it is rare that they would see

those as related to the Tree of Life. The result has been that many have become

insensitive to the shifting energies of time and how these affect the evolution

of humanity. Only some indigenous cultures have retained the tradition of the

spiritual qualities of the four directions. Yet, in the Book of Revelation it is

described how the new world emerging at the end of time will at its center have

a Tree of Life that will nurture the inhabitants of this all year around. Maybe

we are now in fact now beginning to see a return of this Tree of Life also in

popular culture such as for instance in the movie Avatar.

What then is the Tree of Life? It is hard to believe that a phenomenon that has

been worshipped all over the world by almost all traditions would not be more

than a myth or a symbol. It would seem that there has to be a reality behind it.

This, I believe is an etheric three-dimensional scaffold from which all the

energies that create the universe emanate. Yet, there is not just one Tree of

Life. The Tree of Life is more like a nested hierarchy of holograms, and exists

at several different connected levels of the universe that are in resonance with

one another ultimately according to the principle As above-So below. The highest

level is the cosmos, referred to as the Heart of the Heavens by the Maya, the

second, lower, level is the galaxy, the third is the solar system, the fourth

the Earth, the fifth the human beings (and all other organisms) themselves and

then down to the level of the elementary particles. Each of these levels has a

central axis, a Tree of Life, which is at the center of all of its energy grid

systems (branches). On the level of our Earth, the Tree of Life is the Polar

Axis* and since we ourselves are affected by the energies of the Mayan calendar

through our resonance with the polarities that the Tree of Life generates it is

now crucial to prepare for the onset of the ninth wave. To be able to do so I

however believe that it will help if we are able to ceremonially recreate the

Tree of Life after centuries of oblivion.

Our planet and its human cultures have thus emerged through the effects of the

polarities of energies originating from the Tree of Life. The same can be said

about the imbalance between male and female that has dominated for about 5000

years and it is not an accident that in the Judaeo-Christian creation story of

the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, and the ensuing separation of the

genders, the Tree of Life plays a crucial role. According to the Mayan calendar,

which is based on the shifting polarities of the Tree of Life, we know however

that these imbalances are now being rebalanced and will ultimately result in

unity consciousness if our resonance with the Tree of Life is strong enough.

These polarities are introduced along different perpendicular planes. One such

plane is equatorial and separates the northern and southern hemispheres, another

goes through Berlin, Rome and Cape Town and separates the western and eastern

hemispheres of the planet and a third plane goes through Washington, DC and

separates the front (Pacific) from the back (Europe/Africa) hemisphere of the

planet. Through the influence of the Yin/Yang-polarities emanating from the Tree

of Life the planet has thus evolved into a global brain, where the western

hemisphere corresponds to the left brain half and the eastern to the right brain

half.

Ideally, to recreate the Tree of Life of the planet we would thus like some

people to have gathered to perform ceremonies at both the north and south poles,

but since this does not seem practicable the North and South will be represented

by gatherings in Scandinavia and South Africa, respectively. To recreate the

global Tree of Life these gatherings will be complemented with gatherings on the

equatorial plane in the West in Guatemala and in Singapore/Bali in the East. In

each of these directions representatives of cultural traditions to whom the

sacredness of the four directions have remained a living reality will be

participating (Sami in the North, Chinese/Hindu in the East, Bushmen in the

South and Maya in the West). On July the 18th at 7 am (pacific time, for other

time zones see http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock) people everywhere will

thus have the possibility to connect with the gatherings in these node points

for the four directions in a globally synchronized ceremony. Although the

details will have to be developed locally it is recommended that part of the

ceremony is about recreating the global Tree of Life and strengthening the

relationship of the participants with this creative source. A second part may be

about unifying the energies and peoples of the four directions. The Conscious

Convergence is like setting up a base camp for the climb to the ninth wave and

part of what you do in a base camp is to make sure that you are prepared. This

is true also four the ceremony of the Sacred Directions. As the Ninth wave of

the Mayan calendar will be activated on March 9, 2011 a new frequency of

vibration and a new polarity of consciousness emanating from the Tree of Life

will be introduced, which we need to be prepared for. The Conscious Convergence

is meant for those wanting to be co-creators with the divine plan and so the

days July 17-18 is nothing but a start point of a path directed towards unity

consciousness and for this the recreation of our planetary Tree of Life plays a

vital role (www.theconsciousconvergence.com).

*Note that I am here talking about polarity shifts in consciousness. This has

nothing to do with the many unfounded speculations about a shift in the position

of the polar axis or a geomagnetic pole shift in 2012. For a scientist's view on

these type of speculations see for instance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHGaZMC8E0U. In fact, the only understanding of

the Mayan calendar that no scientist can reject is that it is based on the

evolution of consciousness.
