The Hidden Tree of Knowledge

We live in a world bounded by our senses. However, our senses are limited.For example, a dog sees, hears and smell things that are beyond human senses. Dogs love in a different reality than humans. The realities overlap like a venn diagram, but they are different.

Flower Skull believes that elemental forces of energy and spiritual power exist just beyond human perception. With practice and meditation, or by the use of psychedelics, humans can expand their perception and access the wisdom and power pf these elemental forces.

Over the years mystics have developed symbols to focus our perceptions. These symbols represent forms of elemental power and help us focus our energies. Mystics use the symbols to empower their pereception of the unseen world.

The hidden tree of knowledge is a complmation of symbols. These symbols represent elemental tools to enhance the viewer’s perception. The tree is the unifying force. The tree represents the process of balancing chaos and order. Basically, the roots of the tree are deep into the unknown and constantly swirling waters of chaos. The trunk of the tree, forms chaos into branches, leaves and fruit. The branches, leaves and fruit represent the results of the balancing. If there is too much chaos, the tree drowns. If there is not enough chaos, the tree petrifies, becomes brittle and dies. For more information on this process, please review the following link.

Behind the tree are the lights of the city. This represents perceived human reality. In the building are the people trying to exist in this world. The tree in the foreground is full of magical creatures. It is drawn in colors that represent its invisibility to normal human perception.

The most important symbol in the tree is the flower skull. The flowers represent the beauty of birth, death and rebirth. The skull represents mortality. The flowers that surround the skull, and that emanate from the skull,represent the regeneration of life 

from the mortality of the skull. There are multiple flower skulls to represent the multiple cycles of birth, death and rebirth.

The tree hosts multiple eyes. The eye in the center of the tree protects against negative forces. It is known cross culturally as a totem of protection against the evil eye. The evil eye represents malignant forces of chaos. The eye on the right side of the tree is the Eye of Horus. On a surface level this represents protection in prosperity. However, the deeper meaning is that it stimulates your senses to perceive beyond their normal capability. The third eye in the drawing is an eye of vigilance and protection.

 The rooster on the tree, limb, symbolizes courage and resolution. It helps you face the unknowns that you will find as you explore beyond the bounds of your senses. The owl is a messenger of wisdom from the elemental forces. The combination of the two enable you to receive the hidden knowledge with courage and fortitude.The dove of peace symbolizes our ultimate freedom from self.

The gnome is a symbol of fertility. in this case, the fertility of your mind, and its senses. It is there to focus your powers of perception and enable their results to manifest in your reality. The sword is the guardian of your new knowledge.

There is also the seed of life. This represents the kernel of knowledge that we’re all born with. if we use the tools around us, it will grow the tree of knowledge inside your spirit. This enables you to incorporate the lessons that you learn into your reality.

The hidden tree of life is a useful tool to grow your perception. The symbol should help open your mind to perceive outside the bounds of your senses. Please enjoy the tree and Flower Skull hopes that you find it useful.

The Garden of Hidden Symbols

The Garden of Hidden Symbols helps us understand that our physical senses only grant us a glimpse of the universe around us. When you look closely at the trees you will discover sacred geometric symbols.  These symbols represent archetypes or the perfect form. 

The Angel Metatron’s cube is central to the drawing. The Angel Metatron is the scribe of God. Metatron's Cube is a sacred geometric figure composed of 13 circles with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of the other 12 circles. It's named after the archangel Metatron, who is often associated with spiritual transformation and divine communication. The cube represents the interconnectedness of all things in the universe, as well as the fundamental shapes and patterns found in creation. It's believed to hold the keys to understanding the structure of the universe and serves as a symbol of protection, balance, and harmony.

Tree of Life

The archetype of every element of the garden is contained within Metatron’s cube. For example, in the following drawing, you can see the sacred symbol of the seed of life, the tree of life, and the flower of life. Life comes from the seed of life and grows into the tree of life. The tree of life produces the flower of life. the flower of life generates the fruit of life which produces the seeds of life. This starts the process all over again. The sacred geometry is built into the DNA of the tree.

Seed of Life

The birds are the symbolic messengers of the universal force. They are spreading the seed of life throughout the garden and bringing knowledge from other lives into the energy of this life. You can see them flying between the trees. They are showing interconnection of all of our lives in all of the realities that exist within our consciousness. 

The garden is a symbol of our consciousness. Within our consciousness is all of the energy of the universe. It is our goal to access this energy and emerge into our next level of spirituality. The multiplicity of trees in their various growth stages represent the lives and path that are available to us. The birds give us the opportunity to integrate this knowledge into a single consciousness.

I hope this drawing helps you meditate upon your place in the universe. It gives glimpses into the underlying archetypes that our world is created on. I found meditating upon sacred geometry gives me insights into my current condition, and where I’d like to go. I hope this helps you as well.

The Tree of Rebirth

The Tree of Rebirth is a tool to contemplate the finite limits of each individual life and the infinite cycle of rebirth.  The Tree incorporates key symbolism from The Chamber of Reflection ritual practiced in certain Masonic rites. The Skull and the hourglass are to focus your thoughts on the mortality of your current existence. The skull represents death, and the hourglass symbolizes the waning days of your life. This reminds us that all men are equal by being born helpless, and eventually dying. The following is a detailed explanation of the chamber of reflection. http://hedgemason.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-chamber-of-reflection-ancient.html

The ancient symbol of the seed of life resides in the mouth of the skull and in both eyes. The Seed of Life symbolizes the sacred writings of humanity. The multiple seeds symbolize the choices you have before being reborn. From the Seed of Life grows the tree of rebirth. It penetrates the skull of mortality and reaches to the sky. The following link describes the ancient and complicated symbolism of The Seed of Life. https://www.uniguide.com/seed-of-life-number-7-sacred-geometry

The tree represents blending of the finite life with the infinite cycle of rebirth. The tree represents the blending of the fruits of knowledge from previous lives into future existence. The purpose is to focus on how your tree is creating the fruits of your future existence. The hourglass shows the amount of time you have left, and the skull represents your future destination into mortality. The actions of your prior life provide the fertilizer for the seed of life to regenerate your existence through the tree. Your next existence is predicated by the actions of your prior existence. Please use the tree to meditate on the ebbs and flow of existence.
