Description
Again, while asleep, a voice kept saying over & over again to me "Tree of Life, Tree of Life" I never heard of such a tree or why the voice kept saying this to me. I felt the need to remember these words & write them down. But I fell back to sleep, & was awoke by the words again frantically saying "Tree of Life, Tree of Life" So, I grogilly got up & wrote it down to see what I might discover if anything about this Tree of Life. Here is the meaning of such Tree: In Science, the tree of life is a metaphor describing the relationship of all life on Earth in an evolutionary context. In Christianity the Tree of Life represents the immaculate state of humanity free from corruption and Original Sin before the Fall. And lastly & most simply put it is said to be The Love of God.... And so I share with you my dream, my Tree of Life, Gods Love...

I think God gave you the tree of life message for a reason. He knew that you had the ability to bring his message to life. And you have done so in a magnificent way. Many years ago, I did a photograph of a similar tree. In Norse mythology the tree of life is called Ygdrassil (if I have spelled it right). Its possible the concept may be common in many religions.

Hi Chris, thank you for such a lovely comment.. :) it amazes me so much how things happen in life, why things happen, why things don't happen, how everything works so perfectly together like cause & effect. I always get things like this, sometimes its loud, & sometimes its quiet. I always listen though, those little signs & symbols in life. We have to be still & be aware. Be in tune with ourselves, our life.... Thank You so much Chris, I always enjoy you stopping by my work & enjoy your comments so much. :)

Thank You so much Jolanta.. I had to draw this tree, someone insisted I draw it! Was woken up 2X with the voice saying..... "frantically" saying..... "Tree of Life" "Tree of Life" over & over....

What an amazing experience.....an incredible gift I would say, and your drawing is gorgeous! There is great need for humanity to move into the consciousness of an absolute knowing of what you discovered...our connection with each other and with all life. It is a profound honor and responsibility to have the "voice of Oneness" or whatever you want to call it, speak to you and then be the willing vehicle of expressing that knowledge into the world. Thank you for listening and for sharing! v/f

Your so welcome Rory & Thank you from my heart! You may want to look at my beautiful beginnings drawing, & the description. It is similar to this, but the voice was from my aunt who had passed over. I whole heartedly believe their is a higher plane we go to after death, & there is a creator, God, or other names for him that others call it/him. The universe is just too perfect & beautiful. So intricate. Everything works together. I have witnessed so many things my entire life, I have many more stories to share. There are things I can't explain, but leads & had led me to believe in my heart what is & what is true. I have always felt a connection. I'm not a Holier than thou kind of person, but I am spiritual. I believe everything is planned out, I feel the roads I've taken are perfect, & led me to the here & now. The hard times are all relevent & make us stronger. I love life & respect it totally. Even though I know I will be going to a better place when I die, I still would rather be here, on earth.... I love it & appreciate all of it! :)

Hi Angela! Thank You...my dreams are sooooo crazy! always! they are very vivid & seem to go on forever..... I think because my mind is always overthinking everything all day long, flooded, & it spills over into my head at night. Never any peace up there, never...

Aw, Thank You so much MM :) I was so tired, & feeling pretty low & alone. I really feel that the voice that kept saying those words was trying to tell me that I am loved & I am never alone....... he is always there. You can't see him, but you can always feel his presence. You know he is there. :) I'm far from perfect, & I mess up so much & alot of the time, but I know it will all be ok.
