Yahweh planted a garden in Eden, and caused to spring up from the soil every kind of tree, each of which were enticing to look at and good to eat, with the Tree of Life in the middle of the garden. This tree of life symbol stems from the original Jewish myth of creation and as well as subsequent Jewish commentary traditions: The kabbalah tree of life also represents the tree of evolution and initiation whereby it is the individual’s responsibility to connect with the divine. The tree of life in its other form (right-side-up) represents the tree to be climbed in order to reconnect with the divine source and penetrate the worlds of the psyche, spirit, and divine unity. The trunk and branches represent the realms of spirit, psyche, and physical existence as they reach down towards us, connecting the two worlds. The roots of the tree of life importantly symbolize the divine place of unity and infinite light as the roots reach upward. The tree of life in its original form (upside-down) has a distinct meaning. The kabbalah tree of life symbol is represented in two distinct orientations in other words, the tree of life can be depicted right-side-up or upside down. Kabbalah is the Jewish mystical tradition that underlies both Judaism and Christianity. The origins and manifestations of this symbol does not end there, as the tree of life has bore significance in Buddhist and Native American traditions as well as in alchemy and psychoanalysis. The many incarnations of the tree of life appear in a vast array of traditions including the Kabbalah, Christianity, Judaism and the Celtic tree of life. The tree of life is often considered to be a universal and ancient symbol of deep spiritual and mythological significance.
