Tree of Life 3

Returning to the essence of the Great Mother awakens a deep journey of self-discovery. She urges us to recognize the creator and destroyer within, helping us heal internal divides and realize our fullest potential for wholeness and harmony. From birth, we yearn to connect with the maternal archetype—a universal symbol embedded in our collective consciousness. Historically, ancient societies led by women revered the sacred feminine as the life-giving force of nature, embodying renewal and fertility. Represented by the Great Mother, she symbolizes the origin of life and the interconnectedness of all existence, reminding us of our small, vulnerable place within the vast tapestry of the natural and spiritual worlds.

The "Tao world tree" is a concept rooted in both Taoist philosophy and Chinese mythology, where trees are seen as teachers of wisdom and the world itself can be symbolized as a great tree. In Taoism, this can be a metaphorical way to understand the connection between the individual and the universe, with trees offering lessons on harmony, grounding, and silent wisdom.

When I lived in Hamburg I had at night an inner flow of the presence of the Great Mother,she was all illuminated and faceless and held a child which spoke to me at a time of personal crisis,saying 'hey there !''You are the Tao Alchemist' she said.'
