The Tree of Life has appeared in countless cultures, religions and mythologies all over the world and throughout history. The idea of a mystical tree, which embodies the essence of life, is not unique to any one civilization. Central to all beliefs of the Tree of Life is the inescapable unity of all of creation. It conveys the message that, although we're born into this world as seemingly unique individuals, spiritually we remain connected to all that is. Nearly every faith has its own version of the Tree of Life, including Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism. In Kabbalah, also known as Jewish Mysticism, the Tree of Life is the most widely recognized symbol. It is thought to represent the essential foundation of creation, whether physical, emotional, intellectual or spiritual. It also is a symbol for the Torah as the source of infinite knowledge. In Celtic symbolism, the Tree of Life represents the connection between heaven and earth, the physical and spiritual, and the mind and body. It also represents the continuous cycle of life, death and rebirth. This timeless symbol even appears on Ancient Egyptian tomb carvings, possibly predating any other culture on earth.

WE ARE ONE.
