with a hierarchy among the trees. Each area has its wise trees or
grandfather/grandmother trees. The older parent trees succour and
nourish the young saplings.
Water is born from the fusion of molecular hydrogen and oxy-
gen below the surface of the Earth, through the medium of subtle
energies. The tree, with its roots deep in the ground, is intimately
connected with the evolution of water. As we have seen, water takes
the form of blood, lymph, sap and milk, the life-giving and main-
taining fluids which are the basis for the growth and development
of all life. Every living organism is therefore a column or container
of water.The form of a tree
All trees have a root system that absorbs nutrients from the soil and
anchors the trunk; trunk and branches that define the shape of the
tree and raise the crown to the sunlight; and leaves that perform the
essential functions of photosynthesis, and making chlorophyll and
carbohydrates.
The roots are the complement to the branches, securing the tree
against wind and absorbing water that contains the energies and
the minerals the tree needs to be healthy; they also play a vital part
in the role of the tree as a biocondenser of energy. At the ends of the
roots are magical organisms called protoplasms that convert the
minerals from the inorganic to the organic state that the tree is able
to use. There is a complex interaction between the roots and the
bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms in the soil, which is part
of the energy exchange between the tree and the earth domain.
The trunk is formed for the most part from dead cells that give
it rigidity and stability. The living parts are: the cambium that pro-
duces new cork or bark to offset what is shed on the outside; the
phloem with fine capillaries that carry oxygen, nitrogen etc, down to
the roots, and the xylem, whose coarser channels allow ionized min-
erals, salts, trace elements, carbonic acid or CO 2 to flow upwards.
Phloem and xylem are also found in the structure of leaves, where
they perform a similar function.
The crown is the most noticeable part of the tree, comprising
branches, twigs, leaves, flowers and fruit or nuts. The leaves receive
from the earth minerals and trace elements, CO 2 from the atmos-
phere and the Sun's energy to drive the process of photosynthesis;
