View Full Version : Human Develpment and timing it on the Tree

I think that the easiest way to find the progression of time as it relates to the tree of life is to take the simplest form of us which is the fetus and extrapolate it on the tree. There is one really cool timing and that is pineal development. Maybe it can be done and maybe it cant.

Rick Strassman, based on several years of intensive medical research, proposes that the release of DMT from the pineal gland at 49 days after conception marks the entrance of the spirit into the fetus. This 49-day prenatal period corresponds to the first signs of fetal pineal tissue, the differentiation of the gonads into male and female, and the time between the death of an individual and its soul's next rebirth according to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. He suggests that the individual's life-force enters the body through the pineal gland and leaves it through the pineal gland at death (see "DMT, The Spirit Molecule", by Strassman). The infant's brain is flooded with 5-MeO-DMT, secreted from the pineal gland and the brain is 40% more active and open.

Make each sephiroth a 28 day period and pineal development takes place in Yesod and birth at kether. I'll need to figure out how to do the cool posting picture thing. I was also thinking of counting each sphere and line being 13 or 14 days which still has birth at kether.

I make birth to ascension a 60 year tree of thirteen levels and 33 spheres so it should fit that you can do the same thing with conception to birth if the timing CAN be put on a tree. I always want to put pineal on tiferet but I cant make it fit and get birth at kether.

Three trimesters and three triads for a singular tree or each trimester an entire tree? I also have a 40 year double tree that I stole from some Sumerian pictures I saw that I worked into an ascension tree. I could change that to a 40 week tree? Ooooo...I will work on that and be back in a while.

See ya!

Greetings Darin,

I've tried to come up with some way to ask this question that doesn't sound snotty but I can't so I will just ask the question; just keep in mind I'm not trying to be snotty :) I'm curious what is the value of assigning stages of birth to the tree of life? What practical purpose, if any, does it serve in your mind?

I think if you can plot any stage of human development on the tree as a sacred geometric growth progression then you can plot all human development on it. If I know where and "why" I have been then it is possible to project where I might or can go. Does that make sense?

I'm not sure what imposing the Tree on biological development (or the other way around) is going to contribute to the Kabbalistic (I use this spelling for all aspects of Kabbalistic thought and let the context dictate the meaning :yes: ) corpus.

You never know what will happen until you try it, I guess. I like to see the greater patterns in life. I have noticed similarities in my childhood development by imposing on the tree of life from year to year for my first 20 years and then psycho-spiritual development for my second 20 years.

Perhaps the first 20 years are primarily for physical development, the second 20 years for mental/psychological (soul) development and the third 20 for spiritual development.

I think that perhaps there are 20 year cycles and even greater 40 year cycles when you get to the prophets like Moses. He did 40 years in Egypt, 40 years in Midian and then 40 years in the desert. Very interesting in my opinion.

My life maps out pretty well on the tree. I dont know know if it will ultimately produce what I hope it will but like I said, you never know until you try.

It seems to me that the idea of plotting time progressions through the ToL is not at all unique, but has been more typically reserved for collective epochs (or aeons), rather than personal lifespans. I can't see where the one necessarily outranks the other in any way...just different subject-object parameters...

I also don't entirely understand it on a personal level, I think because it has simply not been my area of focus... So this whole concept is actually a little new to me. I'm not sure that I can use it in any way, but I find it very interesting.

I find it very interesting that you could potentially use this to see how the spiritual interacts with the physical. This would be very important for Alchemy because by effecting the physical, you may then be able to bring about required spiritual changes. I would say it is a very important concept to the practical occultist

I look at each triad as thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Plus a three tree progression lines up as the same process. Whatever this process is called I think it happens at every level.

I started doing the "real-time" progressions after watching the google videos on the Mayan Calendar by Ian Lungold. It just sounded like the tree progression so I put my life on it and it worked.
