propagated by the fact that after they passed (died), ancestors and animals
were often portrayed as branches on the tree.
• The Book of One Thousand and One Nights has a story, 'The Tale of Buluqiya',
in which the hero searches for immortality and finds a paradise with jewelencrusted
trees. Nearby is a Fountain of Youth guarded by Al-Khidr. Unable to
defeat the guard, Buluqiya has to return empty-handed.
• The Epic of Gilgamesh is a similar quest for immortality. In Mesopotamian
mythology, Etana searches for a 'plant of birth' to provide him with a son. This has
a solid provenance of antiquity, being found in cylinder seals from Akkad (2390 -
2249 BCE).
• One of the earliest forms of ancient Greek religion has its origins associated with
tree cults.
In mystical traditions of world religions, sacred texts are read for metaphorical content
concerning the relationship between states of mind and the external experience of
reality. As such, the tree is a manifestation/causal symbol - the Tree of Life representing
the coveted state of eternal aliveness or fulfillment, not immortality of the body or
soul. In such a state, physical death (which cannot be overcome) is nevertheless a
choice, and direct experience of the perfect goodness/divine reality/god is not only
possible, but ever present.
Once the ego (surface consciousness) experiences shame, having been tempted to absorb
or believe in duality (such as eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), we are
protected from living eternally in that limiting, fallen, experience by the cherubim guarding
the gate of return to paradise. The cherubim are symbolic of the perfect knowledge of
self or true nature, with the power of purification and return to being."

175 "... faravahar..."
"The faravahar or farohar (transliteration varies) is one of the best-known symbols of
Zoroastrianism.
The winged disc has a long history in the art and culture of the ancient Near and Middle
East. Historically, the symbol is influenced by the "winged sun" hieroglyph appearing on
Bronze Age royal seals. While the symbol is currently thought to represent a Fravashi (c.
a guardian angel) and from which it derives its name, what it represented in the minds of
those who adapted it from earlier Mesopotamian and Egyptian reliefs is unclear. Because
the symbol first appears on royal inscriptions, it is also thought to represent the 'Divine
Royal Glory' (khvarenah), or the Fravashi of the king, or represented the divine mandate
that was the foundation of a king's authority.
