The Cosmic Tree

By Frank Desmedt

Many popular stories speak of a mysterious Tree that connects the "Kingdom of the Gods" with the "World of Mankind," to then extend itself toward the "Realm of the Demons."

Curiously, the Cosmic Tree exists in both Judaism and Christianity, as well as in Buddhism and Islam. Each religion describes it in its own way, but in the background of these descriptions we find the same basic structure.

The Tree of Life can be found in civilizations so different and geographically far from each other, such as the Scandinavian, Indian (both the Asian and the continental American ones), Japanese, Arabian, Egyptian and many others.

In each case described in this book we'll see how our daily lives revolve around this luminous and magical Tree. You'll also realize how and why in every case the roots of the Cosmic Tree shelter a hideous "Serpent" or a monstrous "Dragon." At the same time, you'll come to understand why there's always a "Cosmic Bird" perched on its highest branch. What's interesting is that both the "Bird" and the "Serpent," as well as the Tree itself, are all part of our perceptible reality. This means that you can easily see them with your own eyes.

When you come to understand the transcendental design of the Cosmic Tree, you'll also comprehend why the head-figure of every religion—Zoroaster, Mithra, Buddha, Attis, Wotan, Quetzalcoatl, Mohammed, Jesus—is related to one of these Trees.

Each chapter deals with one of the most famous Cosmic Trees, its legend and relation to the Cosmology and religion of the civilization it belongs to. You'll also discern the relation that each one has with Astronica, the new way of evaluating the exocauses (ie, astrophysical effects) that influence our daily lives. In the opening chapters of the book I provide basic Astronical material to help you understand the workings of the Cosmic Tree (and of Astronica itself).

I dare say, that without the parallelism found between the Cosmic Tree's design and the basic structure of an Astronical Cycle, the Legend would only be a quaint story. It's only when we grasp the underlying Astronical meaning of the Tree's multi-dimensional constitution, that the Allegory discloses the Magical Principle that upholds every culture's religion or integral philosophy. That’s when the Story stops being fiction and reveals the Primordial Secret that has been kept hidden for so long.

If you have an open mind, I'm sure that you'll enjoy reading about the "Forest" of Cosmic Trees that describes the archetypal energy pattern that yearns to come forth through each of us, each one expressing it in their own way.

IN ENGLISH - (EN ESPAÑOL, MÁS ABAJO)I'm sort of a three-way hybrid. My family upbringing was definitely European (Belgian), my early teen-age years were enjoyably influenced by the American way of life (Glendale, California), at the beginning of the Rock 'n Roll era (anybody remember?), and the rest of my life exposed me to the fast-paced Latin American culture (Venezuela and the Caribbean islands). This gave me the order and discipline of the European, the modern vision and progressive imagination of an American, and the animated soul of a Latino.By trade, I'm a Computer Systems Engineer, who specialized in setting up systems for large, high-rise hotels in Latin America.For the past 29+ years, after investigating many fields and debunking a lot of information, I've been designing a system that I named ASTRONICA (very little in common with classic Astrology). In short, it's a technique that anyone can use to (1) get to know their true inborn attributes, qualities and skills, and (2) to determine the ongoing conditions (exocauses) that inevitably influence us and our environment, at any given time or place. You can test the efficiency of Astronica for yourself, by visiting the Astronica website (www.astronica.org, in Spanish or English - online since 1997). Try out any of the free and user-friendly apps that you'll find there—they're all based on astronical algorithms, handled by AI. You can go there either with a desk PC or a laptop. But if you're mostly on the go, feel free to use a smartphone or a tablet. No registration, no cost, no hype.After retiring from the Hotel/Computer business, and after having put together the Astronica system, I began to write in two different fields: fiction and non-fiction. In the non-fiction section, I've written several books about Astronica (e.g., The Astronica Handbook, The Cyclegram, Dynamy and Polarity, The Cosmic Tree and The Hidden Circle).My writings in the fiction section usually include characters who live in the imperceptible "threshold area" that's between our every-day reality and the rest of the Multiverse (e.g., Imo, The Keepian and an ultra-short story, Nothing Speaks). I like to call this genre MetaFiction: the Reality that lies beyond reality.Currently, I live in Caracas, Venezuela and work every day on the Internet, to expand and further hone the Astronical resources. Now and then, when my Muse nudges me, I take another shot at story writing, so feel free to look me up.EN ESPAÑOLSoy una especie de híbrido triple. Mi crianza familiar fue definitivamente europea (Bélgica), mis años de adolescencia fueron muy influenciados por el estilo de vida norteamericana (en Glendale, California), durante la era del inicio del Rock n' Roll, ¿Alguien se acuerda?), y el resto de mi formación fue determinado por la siempre animada cultura latinoamericana (en latinoamérica y las islas del Caribe). Esto fijó en mi el orden y la disciplina del europeo, la visión moderna e imaginación progresista del norteamericano, junto con el alma expresiva del latino.De profesión, soy Ingeniero de Sistemas Informáticos, especializado en la instalación de sistemas para hoteles grandes, en América Latina.Durante los últimos 29+ años, después de investigar muchos campos y desmitificar una gran cantidad de información, he estado diseñando un sistema que llamé ASTRÓNICA (tiene muy poco en común con la Astrología clásica).Se trata de una técnica que cualquiera puede usar para (1) conocer sus verdaderas cualidades, habilidades y atributos innatos, y (2) para determinar las condiciones sidéreas (exocausas) que inevitablemente influyen sobre nosotros y nuestro entorno.Si quiere, puede probar la eficacia de Astrónica, visitando su website oficial (www.astronica.org, en español o Inglés - online desde 1997). Pruebe cualquiera de las aplicaciones gratuitas y fáciles de usar que allí encontrará—todas están basadas en algoritmos astronicos y en la aplicación de IA. Puede visitar el sitio con una PC de escritorio o con una Laptop, Tableta o Smartphone.Después de retirarme de los hoteles y luego de haber desarrollado el sistema de Astrónica, empecé a escribir en dos géneros diferentes: ficción y no-ficción. En la sección de no-ficción, he escrito varios libros sobre Astrónica (por ejemplo, el Manual de Astrónica, El Ciclograma, Dinamia y Polaridad, El Árbol Cósmico y El Círculo Oculto, los cuales irán siendo publicados en ésta y otras Editoriales online).Mis escritos en el área de la ficción son cuentos que suelen incluir a personajes que viven en el imperceptible ámbito que está entre nuestra realidad cotidiana y el resto del Multiverso (entre ellos están: Imo, El Cuidián, El Andrógino y un cuento ultra-corto, Nada Habla). Me gusta llamar este género MetaFicción: la Realidad que está más allá de la realidad.En la actualidad, vivo en Caracas, Venezuela, y trabajo todos los días en Internet, ampliando y perfeccionando los recursos Astrónicos de mi website.Una que otra vez, cuando me visita mi Musa, me animo a escribir otro cuento, así que no dude en buscarme.Mi Blog también está a su órden (http://astronica1.blogspot.com).
