Transcript

Greetings my friends,

This is Aaron Pine here,

Also known as the Elven Wizard.

I hope you're doing wonderful in this series of Wizard Wisdom audio lectures.

I just want to share some insights about some of my favorite subjects that I use a lot in my own spiritual journey,

As well as use it to support my clients,

Both one-on-one and in my various programs online.

I'd like to introduce some of these concepts that may not be as familiar to people.

Some are concepts that I've drawn from ancient traditions and spiritual paths,

And there's a lot of new things I've developed through my own experience,

My own intuition and creativity,

To help people really expand their power,

Their potential,

Their freedom,

Connect more with their joy,

Their heart,

Their spirit,

And ultimately their purpose for being here in the realm of Earth.

So in this particular lecture,

This particular Wizard Wisdom,

I want to talk about one of my favorite things,

The Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life is an archetypal map of consciousness,

Of life,

Of our spirit.

It can be found in some former fashion in mythologies and spiritual traditions all around the world.

It's known about or mentioned in certain ways,

Even in Judeo-Christian traditions,

Some associated with the Kabbalah,

Which is often connected with Judaism.

However,

There are some sources that say it's beyond Judaism as well.

There's a version of the Tree of Life in Buddhism,

The Bodhi Tree,

Which the Buddha sits under to reach enlightenment.

One of my favorite versions of the Tree of Life is from the Norse or Northern European Scandinavian called Yggdrasil,

And that particular one is one of my favorites,

And I use that for a lot of my inspiration,

And I've expanded a lot upon that in my meditation platform,

Inner Realms Journey.

In the traditional,

There are nine realms on that Tree of Life,

Which I'm going to get to more in a moment about the different realms on the Tree of Life.

You'll find it in ancient Mayan culture.

I'm not going to even try and pronounce their version,

But they also have a beautiful Tree of Life with many different levels to it.

There's versions of it in Africa.

There's even some versions I came across in my time in New Zealand in the Maori.

Many,

Many cultures around the world.

There's even some Native Americans,

Ancient stories that have some form of Tree of Life or a Great Tree or a World Tree.

It's a pretty universal concept.

Sometimes it's more in the forefront.

Sometimes it's a little more in the background.

There's even a beautiful ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic version of it in one of the temples in Egypt of their Tree of Life.

It's everywhere.

Even in Asia,

They have some Tree of Life,

And Russia,

Pretty much everywhere.

You can do some research on your own and find it everywhere.

Of course,

Every tradition has some slight variations to it,

But there's some core concepts that are fairly universal.

Generally,

The branches or the top of the tree symbolizes,

It could be the heavens or the higher realms of spirit,

Maybe the more celestial,

Spiritual realms,

You know what you might call like the angelic realms or the divine,

The celestial beings,

The star beings,

Something of this higher,

Expanded consciousness above and beyond our experience here.

It often also represents our dreams,

Our goals,

Our visions,

You know,

Where we want to go with our life or we're heading towards.

The bottom of the tree is often either associated with underworlds,

Which could be,

You know,

The darker realms,

The realms of things that are a little bit scarier for us.

It could also be the roots,

The roots of our past,

What came before us.

Both like in our ancestry,

What,

You know,

Our ancestors went through that ancestral roots.

It can also be our own personal past,

You know,

The roots of our past,

You know,

Our own journey,

Our own experiences that we've gone through.

And we draw nourishment,

You know,

We draw wisdom,

We draw upon experiences and skills of the things we've gone through personally and also our roots,

Our ancestors,

You know,

What have they gone through and what traditions and,

You know,

Positive and negative,

If you will,

Things they've passed on to us,

You know,

The roots of our past.

And like I said,

Some traditions is the underworlds of maybe certain levels of spirit or darker realms.

And sometimes we need to go into those to find some healing or some wisdom of some sort.

And then the trunk often represents our present experience,

You know,

Our current day-to-day life,

The very moment of right now,

What we're experiencing,

The life we're living right now.

In some traditions,

This is like called the earth or middle earth or in the Norse Yggdrasil tradition,

As I mentioned,

That's a middle earth.

It's like the right now.

It's our human experience that we're having.

And of course,

All this is continuous movement,

Right?

Our future,

Our visions,

Our dreams may evolve.

The past is continually happening and we're constantly creating new past that's adding to those roots.

And the many of the trees life,

It's all connected,

Right?

The past eventually feeds into the present.

The past eventually feeds into the branches and the branches feed into the roots.

And you'll see that in a lot of beautiful ancient symbols where there's sort of a circular design to it all.

It's very similar to the torrid field,

Which some of you may be familiar with as they sort of continuous energy,

Almost looks like a donut loop of energy from above going to below and into the center and up and down.

So it's very similar to that.

This is continuous energy transformations,

Energy experience.

And it's all connected and just like trees,

Right?

In physical trees,

They produce their leaves in the fall time,

Those leaves drop to the ground and then provide nourishment back to the soil and the roots pull that in and then feed the tree.

And it's this continuous loop and cycle.

So this tree of life concept,

Like I said,

It's been found all over the world.

Also known as axis mundi in some,

Which is the center axis of the entirety of the universe is center point within us.

We are that tree,

That tree of life resides within each of us,

Which are our own beautiful tree of life within the great forest of all of us together.

Right?

So once you start to understand this tree of life,

You start to understand a little bit better your journey through life,

Right?

Kind of creates a framework of our position in it and where we're going and where we've come from.

Now within this,

A lot of the tree of life concepts explore that there's different realms or dimensions within the tree of life,

Which I mentioned a little bit earlier,

Right?

There's the lower,

The middle and the upper.

Now,

In some of these traditions,

There's the Scandinavian have this,

The Norse,

The Kabbalah,

I've seen this in the mind as well,

That there's different realms within those.

And like I said,

My favorite is the Norse one.

That's the one I I'd say I know the most details about.

But the other ones do have these ideas of these different realms,

Or dimensions,

Or if you will,

Just aspects of our own beingness of who we are,

Right?

We're all very multi dimensional,

We all have very many different aspects within us.

So these trees of life map out these different realms.

And in my meditation platform in a realm's journey,

I was guided in my own creativity,

My imagination and my own meditations to expand upon that,

That there's many,

Many more realms that have yet to be mapped out.

At the time of recording this,

I think I've got about 70 or so realms in there and a huge list of ones I'll continue to be doing in the years to come.

Each of these representing,

Like I said,

Aspects of ourself,

And also mythological aspects.

Each of these realms have different landscapes,

Have different textures,

Have different characters,

Different beings,

If you will.

For example,

The angelic beings,

Fairy beings,

Gods and goddesses,

Animal spirits,

Plant spirits,

Devas,

Anything and everything you can think of even I extended even to different sci fi ish kind of realms and fantastical realms.

Right?

These are all aspects of all of us.

We all have these in some unique configuration within us.

And so I can use this as in meditation,

You start to explore these realms,

You're exploring aspects of your own self that maybe you haven't fully activated yet or integrated yet.

Even your different points in your life,

Right,

Your childhood,

And that was a realm,

Your you know,

Toddler age,

That was a realm,

Your teenage,

That was its own realm,

Maybe a crazy one,

Right?

Your 20s,

That's around your 30s,

Every aspect,

Every every aspect of our life is a realm,

Even aspects of situations,

You know,

My work is a realm in itself,

My different relationships are each realms,

You know,

There's the realm of my family,

There's the realm of my partners,

There's the realm of my friends,

Right?

Everything is its own realm of energy and dynamics and experiences,

As well as these mythical ones that are within us within our own psyche,

Our subconscious or super conscious.

These are all realms,

Dimensions,

If you will.

Now,

Some of you might be familiar with the idea,

Right,

Of like channeling different dimensions.

Some of you may have experiences where you've connected with different spiritual beings of different sorts.

That's all different realms.

And they're all part of the great tree of life that includes the human world,

And expands far,

Far beyond it.

And so part of my work,

And when I help people one on one,

And in my programs is to start to connect with these other realms,

Because they each have wisdom,

And they each have potentiality,

They each have insight,

They each have life force within us.

And like I said,

We're each within us the entirety of our own tree of life.

However,

Many of us are disconnected from these other realms,

Because of just not understanding,

There may be some sort of trauma or fear,

Or restriction,

Whether it was something experienced in this life or other lives.

So as we start to connect with these other parts of ourselves,

These other realms,

We have more available to us within our present experience.

Again,

Just like the tree,

Right?

If a tree has a bunch of branches,

But they have these sort of cuts in them or blocks,

Where that life force from that particular branch from those particular leaves aren't flowing into the trunk,

You know,

It's not gonna be at its full health.

Same thing with roots.

If you cut some roots off of a tree,

It's not going to have that additional vitality nourishment,

Providing to the rest of the tree.

So we want to connect ourselves to all that we are to all the branches and the roots that we are.

And that's ultimately where healing,

I believe is going energy healing,

You know,

Psychological healing,

Mental,

Emotional healing,

We're opening ourselves up to all these realms,

All these energies,

All this life force and allowing that to flow through us.

One other thing I'll note on that is other lives,

Right?

And some of you may have experienced that some of you may be aware of that some of you that might be not a concept you're ready for yet,

That's fine,

Wherever you're at with it.

But if you do,

Let's say expand your mind,

Or just turn your mind off,

Better yet,

Allow yourself to see the possibility that this cosmic tree of life is actually beyond what we know of as time.

And space here and as a human,

And expands into every timeline,

It's experienced itself as an each timeline is,

Again,

If you will,

Another root or branch upon the tree of life that your eternal essence has experienced itself has taken up form within.

And these can be other human lifetimes and other things as well.

The tree of life is not limited by the human thought is beyond all that,

Yet,

Penetrates or flows into the human experience as one of its expressions.

So healing those as well,

Right,

And some of you may have already done some of that work where you're trying to clear heal past life.

That's again,

Allowing that branch or that root of the tree to open up and connect.

As you do this,

Like I said,

It's ultimately bringing more of your life force,

You're activating more of the tree of life within you and all that it's capable of.

So I invite you to begin to explore this concept for yourself.

You know,

What other aspects of yourself have not been accessed yet.

And like I said,

Even,

You know,

I feel like child,

Childhood work,

Inner child work is becoming very popular.

That's one realm on the tree of life is your inner child.

So to open that opens up more of your potential,

More of your energy,

Clear way and bring love,

You can bring love and awareness to those aspects that have been cut off so that you can access that magic were cut off from our inner child were cut off from gifts,

Creativity,

The play,

The imagination,

The freedom that our child maybe had,

Whether it was expressed or suppressed,

But it's in there,

Right.

So if we heal that we bring love and awareness to that inner child,

We open that up within ourselves in our present day,

We bring forth that nourishment into the present experience into the trunk of the tree of life so that it can grow and be nourished.

So we want to continue to open these up.

And they'll continue to unfold through your life.

Once you become aware of this,

You know,

Day to day,

Year to year,

New realms open up.

Even for me,

I've been exploring this concept for many years now,

More of the tree of life continues.

It's like I'm on this continuous adventure to explore the tree of life.

And that's that's what's about.

And that's what one of the reasons I also love the Norse mythology of the tree of life if they're still the gods and goddesses,

You might be familiar with Odin,

Thor,

Freya,

Frey,

Tyr.

Those are some of the more well known gods,

Loki,

Of course,

That become popular.

These gods and goddesses in the ancient mythologies and the ancient stories traveled around the tree of life.

They went to the different realms on different sort of adventures and quests and,

You know,

All kinds of things.

And it was as if,

You know,

They're exploring these realms,

They were overcoming obstacles,

They were getting gaining treasure and wisdom and magic.

So they were exploring these realms.

And I like to see that as inspiration.

You know,

They're providing a template that we can each explore these realms.

We are each divine beings exploring the tree of life.

And,

You know,

Right now,

A good portion of us is focused here in the earth realm,

Midgard,

As it was called in that tree of life.

But we have the potential through meditation to journey into these other realms.

So I encourage you to do that and explore what's there for you,

Because there is a lot and you know,

I've gained so much wisdom and creativity and insight myself.

And again,

I've seen that with many of my clients,

I've helped how much how many powerful transformations can happen through that process.

So I encourage you to explore the tree of life.

And of course,

Check out my other meditations,

Particularly the avatar action,

Which is a great way to connect with your mythical self.

Mine is the elven wizard,

Where you can begin to explore these realms on the tree of life.

And feel free to reach out with any questions.

Thank you so much for listening.

And stay tuned for another wizard wisdom,

Alright,

Take care,

Be well and blessings my friends.
