Ask- the Tree of Knowledge: “The Tree of Knowledge”

By Sri Sunkara Sankacharya

ASK

The Tree of Knowledge When examining the myths and folklore of the ancient Vikings and earlier Norse Tribes of Scandinavia, we find a recurring Legend passed on as fact.

Before the beginning of time when the Spirit was upon the earth for all to know and see, the first man grew from a sweat gland upon the Sap of the Tree of ASK. The tree, ASK released Spiritual spores, the invisible zygote manifested form in the physical.

The cells within became fecund, activated in life, triggered by Spirit, built into an ovum or egg attached to the root of the Great Tree, which bore the primitive, ancestral hermaphrodite of the human race. In ancient times numerous gods were upon the earth and in the inner lands of Spiritual and Astral realms.

Following Natures Involution & Evolution trajectory, came the Devolution of the Races of Man, the gradual descent to the remainder of today. The legend tells of how the gods ceased to argue and came together in mind and Spirit, projected their consciousness to the Tree known as ASK, The Knower of all to be Known and created from the Tree, ASK, the ancestor of man.

Each culture in History, with the exception of the current modern groups, has produced a Tree of Knowledge sacred to the peoples. In a world lost in materiality humanity clear-fell the carriers of Knowledge. The Tree, a Spiritual source, a point of refuge; without her leafy arbour there is no human life. Hug a tree and draw upon her strength, tune to her wisdom, wonder at her androgynous nature, hear the words whispered in the winds upon her leaf and in her breath.

In China, the Sung-Ming-Shu, is the ancestral Chinese Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Spiritual Life.

The Pippala Tree is the occult Fig Tree of Knowledge from the Sanskrit language of pre India. In Vanuatu of the Pacific Islands the Nutapika Nut Tree is the main source of protein, however it is the Banyan Tree which is the giver of Spiritual Wisdom and holds the Sacred stones. In Tibet the Sacred Tree of Knowledge is still known as the Tree of Life Zampun. Malaysia has the Spiritual blossoms of the ever flowering Tree of Wisdom, the Angsana Tree.

ASK The Tree of Knowledge

In the Qoran (Koran) the Scriptures speak of the Ababel, the Tree of Mystery the Tree of Knowledge. Asvattha, the giant fig tree of ancient India, symbolic of the Supreme Spirit the ever-lasting refuge, the Tree of All Knowing, rooted in Heaven and in earth.

Each leaf is a Song of Revelation, a Veda. To have supreme knowledge is to know the song within each and every leaf, the fruit of Asvattha gives eternal Spiritual Life.

ASK, the eternal rootless tree of Timelessness rooted in Spiritual Ground self-generating Mother Nature, the Spiritual Source, the anchor from which the Phoenix of Spiritual Immortality ascends. ASK is the name of the Scandinavian Ash tree, known throughout time as the Tree of Knowledge. Ask, ASK and you shall be answered herein.

Each culture in History, with the exception of the current modern groups, has produced a Tree of Knowledge sacred to the peoples. In a world lost in materiality humanity clear-fell the carriers of Knowledge.

The Tree, a Spiritual source, a point of refuge; without her leafy arbour there is no human life. Hug a tree and draw upon her strength, tune to her wisdom, wonder at her androgynous nature, hear the words whispered in the winds upon her leaf and in her breath.

The Mountain Chant is an Affirmation of Old Truth, Larger than Life, Truths of Concepts, Actions and Ideas in a Cascading, Free Flowing Dialogue, setting the Tone for the Spiritual Journey ahead. The Vedic Chant stirs the Higher Self to seek Spiritual Perspective and the Answers to Life’s Questions, a World on the Brink of War, Religion & State, and the Violent Nature of Man, its Origin and Future.

ASK – Were You There? then follows; ASK explores Answers from Spirit in the Tree of Knowledge to Eighteen Questions from the Family of man. Each Question is identified by Separate Heading.
