The Tree of Life - George W. Carey
INTRODUCTION
Table of Contents
What Jehovah, Eve, David and John Say
"And Jehovah God commanded the man saying, Of every tree in the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die.
And the woman said unto the serpent, ‘Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
—Gen. 1:16.
"And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
"That bringeth forth its fruit in its Season, whose leaf also does not wither,
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
—David in Psalm I.
And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life bearing twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the Nations.
—John the Revelatory Chapt. 22.
PART ONE
Wonders and Possibilities of the Human Body
Table of Contents
THE human race has been asleep, and has dreamed that property and money are the true wealth of a nation, sacrificing men, women and children to the chimerical idea that danced in visionary splendor through their brains. The result of this is to be seen in the uneasiness that prevails everywhere. But humanity is waking up, slowly but surely and beginning to realize that it, itself, is the most precious thing on earth.
The old-established statement that the individuals that make up the race are imperfect is no more true than that a pile of lumber is imperfect, that is to be afterward reformed or built into a house. As it is the carpenter’s business to take the lumber, which is perfect as material, and build the house, so it is the legitimate work of spiritual man to take the perfect material everywhere present and build, by the perfect law of chemistry and mathematics, the perfected, harmonious human being, and with this material, employ the same law to build up society collectively.
It is a well-known physiological fact that the blood is the basic material of which the human body is continually builded. As is the blood, so is the body; as is the body, so is the brain; as is the brain, so is the quality of thought. As a man is builded, so thinks he.
According to the views of students of modern alchemy, the Bible—both the Old and New Testaments —are symbolical writings, based primarily upon this very process of body building. The word Alchemy really means Fleshology. It is derived from Chem, an ancient Egyptian word, meaning flesh. The word Egypt also means flesh, or anatomy.
Alchemy, however, in its broader scope, means the science of solar rays. Gold may be traced to the Sun’s rays. The word gold means solar essence. The transmutation of gold does not mean the process of making gold, but does mean the process of changing gold, solar rays, into all manner of materialized forms, vegetable, mineral, etc. The ancient alchemist studied the process of Nature in her operations from the volatile to the fixed, the fluid to the solid, the essence to the substance, or the abstract to the concrete, all of which may be summed up in the changing of spirit into matter. In reality, the alchemist did not try to do anything. He simply tried to search out nature’s processes in order that he might comprehend her marvelous operations.
To be sure, language was used that to us seems symbolical and often contradictory, but it was not so intended, nor so at all in reality. We speak in symbols. If a man is in delirium, caused by alcohol in his brain-cells, we say he has snakes in his boots.
Of course, no one supposes that the words are to be taken literally. Yet if our civilization should be wiped out, and our literature translated after four or five thousand years, those who read our history might be puzzled to know what was meant by snakes in his boots.
Again, it has been believed by most people that the words, transmutation of base metals into gold,
used by alchemists, referred to making gold. But a careful study of the Hebrew Cosmogony, and the 'Kabala, will reveal the fact that
