description: The Cabalistic Tree of Life has been with us for two thousand or more years. Every age has seen it through its own eyes and this book is an attempt to cast it into twentiethcentury terms so that its blossoms may flower for another season.The Tree of Life is an analogue of the Absolute, the Universe and Man. Its roots penetrate deep into the earth below and its top branches touch the uppermost heaven. Man, meeting point between heaven and earth, is an image of his Creator. A complete but unrealised Tree in miniature, and lower than the angels, his is to choose to rise higher by climbing the branches of himself, and so gain the ultimate fruit.
