“I suspect we may in some hidden recess of our souls remember existing in positions from which the structure of this cone becomes familiar; we ‘recognize’ it from a place that lies perhaps between lives, or in another way of relating with the sky. But the tree is a model of everything; a holophore rendered explicitly. It is a tiny universe, underneath which, in our world… we place our gifts, and are thus represented in the dance of life. Our world is the result of this tree; it is the universe-as-tree; and ‘the place we live’ is its next order of expression.”
