Those who awaken the spirit within themselves capture divine energies and are able to produce the best fruits

The analogies that exist between a human being and a tree are profound. Like the tree, man receives energy from the cosmic ocean, and he receives this energy not only through his roots, but through his leaves and flowers - symbolically speaking. With his roots he penetrates deeply into the soil, but from this soil he draws only physical energies. The roots of man are represented by the organs situated below the diaphragm: the stomach, intestines, and sexual organs. The leaves are represented by the lungs and the heart, which receive energies which are more subtle. Finally, the head, with its mouth, ears, nose, eyes, and brain, is comparable to the flowers of the tree, which receive still subtler energies - those of the spiritual sun: the spirit. Those who awaken the spirit within themselves capture divine energies and are able to produce the best fruits.
