In the beginning, the soul was alone, yet united with the other souls. This contradiction is explored in three stories. Every single soul is important and has its own significance. The Tree of Life tells the stories of different religions. One of them is purely fictional, the other religions exist. But all the stories have one thing in common. They tell of God. We don't all speak the same language and therefore have different names for God. But isn't it actually the same God that we pray to?

Introduction
The soul is never alone;
she always finds;
through Jesus Christ;
to the father;
God our Lord;
Amen
If the soul decides to do so,
because God gave US free will.
The tree of life
"One story, one story of many"
High up in heaven with GOD stands the tree of life. Enveloped by the velvety black of the universe, illuminated by the twinkling stars in the firmament. Over a hundred thousand trillion leaves hang from its branches and twigs. These are strong and are carried by angels who invisibly support them. For the angels accompany our souls, both in heaven and on earth. They are the silent advisors of our thoughts, which sometimes appear like an inspiration. If a turmoil arises in heaven as well as on earth, they are the ones who can guard the souls and their minds. If we are very quiet and go within ourselves, we may encounter them. We just have to believe in them. Even if they do not show themselves, they are still there. Because they never leave our side and are with us. It is the tree of souls on which this form of leaves hangs. From this place we come and there we return. The root of the tree nourishes all the leaves, as well as its branches and twigs. From time to time, special leaves with a golden face also appear. These have a healing effect because they bring good to the earth. Through their endeavors and their deeds on planet earth, they bring the religions of "good" from our Lord God to their fellow human beings. I would now like to tell you about these holy leaves. But I will also tell you about leaves like you and me in one of the following stories.
Because every soul is special and deserves to be loved and to love.
Because God our Father loves every single being that he has created.
Never forget this.
"So now the leaves hold
on the tree of souls ,
in the round dance and in swinging
and the people are silent,
and now listen to the words"
One day God said that seven golden leaves must now fall to the earth in order to be born. He looked down on the earth, which HE had created, and found it to be not good at all! Something had to change, because wars, anarchy and hunger were raging down there on planet earth. That is why he had chosen seven special golden leaves. When they were born on earth, they were to be hope, a blessing for their fellow human beings and proclaim God's word.
So that people could continue to grow in the school of life. God stepped in front of the First Golden Soul Leaf and said: "Fall down to earth, YOUR time has now come." "NO, I do not want to descend to this planet. I am not brave enough and I am afraid." But God said: "Don't be afraid, I will always be there for you and listen to your prayers. You shall gain experience, solve tasks and be a blessing for the people who will live with you in your time!" And so the first leaf fell into his life.
God stepped in front of the second and third golden soul leaves. Both thought the same thing. "What if I don't please the others there and they don't pay attention to me?" But God breathed words into them and the two soul leaves heard them. "You will be beautiful and you will find each other. If the outer shell is flawed, the true beauty of the soul will outshine it a thousandfold."
So you fell down into the confusion, "tumult" of life and God now appeared before the next three golden leaves. "Your time has also come for the school of life. Their fear was great that they would not be loved. "We feel safe and loved here with YOU." They said to him together: "GOD OUR FATHER, we don't want to miss YOU?"
"I will always be with you. In your thoughts, in your heart, if you let me. I love all my children. Not only you, you golden souls, but also those who have done bad things. If they truly repent, they can always return to Me and I will forgive them.
The Lord has many houses and many paths lead to God. Sometimes it takes the bad to grow and shine with goodness. You three have so much in you! So let the others, the weak as well as the seekers, share in it and make them strong." The golden leaves fell down from the tree of life, into the school of life, onto the earth, into their respective lives.
Just as God had promised them, the three golden souls brought further good deeds and their religions with them to earth. Everything came to pass in its own time, just as it was written in the books of books. The seventh golden leaf flinched briefly and then shook itself powerfully and courageously. GOD is already an authority, it thought briefly while it was still hanging from the tree of life! It sensed God smiling. But it was such a smirk that you couldn't see it, you could only sense it.
God asked the golden leaf: "Aren't YOU afraid at all?" "NO, FATHER, I know that you are watching me". "It won't be easy for you, this life on earth." God was worried because he had taken a liking to his son.
HE put parables in him! "Tell people about it so that they may lead a better life. You will be the water of life for them and through you they will be able to come to me. So it shall be!" The golden leaf swallowed for a moment, now it had dismissed its concern. GOD, the Father, is an authority after all.
I love you, the soul breathed to her father. Yes, this great God loves ALL HIS CHILDREN. "Love your neighbor as yourself, do not forget this my son." "No, Father," he replied, and the seventh golden leaf fell down into the life that was meant for him. He never forgot the teaching that God his father gave him and spread it throughout his life on earth. He told people the parables that God had told him about.
When he told his brothers and sisters about this, he was one with his Father, just as he was with the Holy Spirit! When his end on earth had come, he rose from the grave on the third day; his soul ascended to the Father. There he sits at the right hand of the Father; from time to time he dwells by the tree of life. As do all other souls. The free will that God gave us, this free will to decide, is incumbent on every human being and every living being.
We have the choice to always find our way back to the right path. But by nature we tend to forget and look to the other person for the why! If we recognize this error, we have found the path to togetherness, the WE. We are then left with the hope of a 1,000-year kingdom of peace. Just as it is written in the Book of Books.
The poem of the tree of life
A leaf from a tree,
fell away into the confusion, tumult,
From now on it had to wander,
from one place to another,
until it found its mission in life,
accepted it or even passed it;
When a leaf fell from the tree of life, it was as if its form dissolved and only its pure soul traveled to an existence on earth. Or perhaps even to other spheres ?!
The life of the first leaf
As it plunged into the atmosphere of the earth, it was as if it forgot all the memories and knowledge it still had on the tree of life. Slowly, the soul of the first leaf floated down to earth. To a land called Mesopotamia. It arrived in a palace made of white stone in the city of Eridu. There this soul dived into the fetus of a woman who was in labor. Before it knew it, this soul blade was joined as a body and soul with a spirit and was born as a tiny human body.
Her mother and father gave her the name Brahmana. The meaning of her name was that of a high priestess. Just as her mother had once been one and had the same name as her. In the same way, the girl was also to become a high priestess one day. She was taught the thinking of her time. However, the top secret knowledge was passed on orally and it was Brahmana's task to pass this on to her children. So that they would also pass it on to their female descendants.
The people were too afraid that the myths of the goddess could fall into the wrong hands. That is why the traditions of the mother goddess were never written down. Instead, they were passed on orally to suitable ancestors. Her position was one of the most important of her time and so Brahmana learned this knowledge eagerly and quickly from her teachers. During a break, she sat down at a huge window, which was framed only by red curtains.
Just like the dark red of the curtains was the robe she wore. Her long, dark hair was covered by a dark turban made of fine fabric to give her the dignity she deserved. So she thought to herself, one day I will wear a white robe like my mother. But until then, she still had so much to learn. Sometimes, in her dreams, the Blessed Mother appeared to her. Powerful, sublime and benevolent, she sat on her throne surrounded by leopards, which were as gentle and playful as little kittens.
In the dream, she called out her own name to her and her daughter bowed down. Then she fell to her knees in front of her, down to the ground and bowed her face towards it. "Rise up and I will tell you your destiny! You will become a great high priestess of your time and rule. Rule your country with kindness and prudence and proclaim my message.
Since so far only one woman has been worthy to pass on the hymn as well as the sacred knowledge of my words to her descendants, I now grant you changes. Which you may use at your own discretion. If you do not bear a female offspring, then from now on our knowledge may also be passed on to a male offspring of your blood! Change this, for this is your destiny!" The girl then woke up from her dream and told her mother.
She smiled and took her gently in her arms. "Little one, no man has ever held this office for thousands of years! They can't handle it and there would be war, devastation, hunger and violence again." "But mother," Brahmana interrupted her, "men deserve the same rights as women! Sometimes I see them whispering to each other. They are dissatisfied! So give them freedom, please mother!
I don't have a brother, only sisters? Where are all the boys of the same age? I only see the old servants." "All male descendants of the city of Eridu are brought to a suburb near Kahal in their caves after they are born. They are well cared for there. Those of the women who are not fertile, or who are not supposed to give birth, raise the male offspring into adult men.
