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.
