The tree of life as used on this site is a symbol of the eternal nature of our beings, and the cyclical nature of our growth and development. We start out with a small understanding. As a result of our experiences, we may grow and develop in wisdom. Our previous understandings are built upon, or discarded, to be resynthesized into a world view that more closely connects us to holiness. The roots nourish the limbs, and the limbs nourish the roots, in one eternal round of service. Failure to nourish either the root or the limbs will result in the spiritual death of the tree. The roots suck nourishment from the truths that have already been found, while the limbs are constantly searching for further light and truth, and returning those truths to the roots, to be used at some future time of need. Ideas that end up being discarded, fall towards the roots of the tree, just as leaves in the autumn, and are decomposed into their respective elements, to be used as nourishment in the next round of growth.
