THE TREE OF LIFE

A tree or vine is the best way to understand how consciousness can be ONE and manifest as many.

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."John 15:5

I AM Awareness is the trunk and the roots. Without nourishment from the trunk and roots, a branch withers and dies. Without spiritual nourishment from I AM Awareness, we can do nothing. But when we are rooted in I AM Awareness, we can manifest the Glory of God.

Is a small branch anything without the tree? Everything a branch is or has originates from the tree. Does a branch have an identity of its own? Yes, the tree and the branch are ONE but the tree is greater than the branch.

"I and my father are One but my Father is greater than I."

We can also see that the other branches represent our human brothers united in the ONENESS of I AM. Whatever we do to another human being, we are doing to God or our common Father.

"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me."

Whenever we condemn, resent or humiliate another human being, we are doing it to the Lord Himself.

Whenever we uplift, help and love another human being, we are doing it to the Lord Himself.

There is only God in the universe and humanity is God manifested.
