- The Tree can be seen as a symbol of order as it converges into the one, but it can also be seen as order as it separates into the many.

As an Arborist this explanation touched me deeply.
I remember the day I choose to work with the trees and the feeling I had looking up into a huge white pine in a meditative state deep in the forest. I felt that up there between the crown and the sky was a connection I needed to explore to find myself(something like That?).
Best decision I could of made at the time , shortly there after I left the military, started working with trees. 12 years later I have a great outdoor job I love and a family with two healthy children.
Thanks, love your insight.
The only question is how does it feel like to be responsible for killing innocent kids. The problem of inphobes is that they hate human so deeply that they only love nature.
What the hell is an inphobe
@@niemamnicku1359 an arborist is not the same thing as an abortionist! 😖
No matter how much you dig, there still more and more meaning in this book. How is it even possible?
Squallada , One of many ongoing miracles 👍
Like the changing depths of an ocean, or the ever returning leaves on a tree, or the harvest each brings season after season. Yes. All w/in "the plan."
*Eternity*
... The Book
It's possible by grace :)
It’s called projecting interpretations
When you talked about Jesus wearing the crown of thorns, it struck me in the heart. I will spend my life, and I am sure my afterlife, drinking in the truth of His sacrifice, love, and absolute glory. I will be always feeling for His parameters, but He absolutely exceeds parameters. Thank you, Jonathan. When I learn about Jesus, with the Spirit’s help, I am soaring. ❤️
I’ve been drawn to trees for as long as I can remember. I’ve always loved drawing and painting trees…climbing them…finding myself staring at them for long periods of time. I’ve become obsessed with growing things and since COVID lockdowns.
This podcast is a gem! It’s become one of my favorites! Thank you for this topic….It popped up today and made me smile immediately! God Bless You All! 🌸🙏🏽🌻
Dude, I've literally been searching for years for someone on your level. A living person on this level anyway. Jordan Peterson had me excited at first but not so much anymore as he gets distracted easily. Found you through him. Great stuff. First time I've ever considered supporting someone for their RUclips work since 2008. Really good work. Thank you.
Have you seen anything of Jay Dyer or Church of the Eternal Logos?
@@amandalee8139all these people full of BS
My reaponse..
Idk how I made it 8 minutes into this BS. The tree of good and evil and the tree of life are the same thing. Life literally brings good and evil. The picture you keep flaunting of Adam on one side and eve on the other with the serpent literally represents the three pillars of the tree of life. Your attempt to deflect this puts the fig tree at the bottom... this would mean purity leads to the knowledge of good and evil. What non sense. God told them if they ate from the tree they would surely die. Eve represents Adams darkness. God in the crnter masculine and feminine energy on ether side. In the beginning there was darkness. Greeks called it chaos. Divine feminine. Hence the virgin birth leading to the divine masculine. That's why eve was the first sinner. She disobeyed God by eating the fruit. This represents Adam facing his own darkness. Through this act they did in fact ascend. For the fruit is actually the all seeing eye. Sirius. Did God tell a lie? No. They died and were reborn! The two tree's in the garden represents the brain stem and the ether on either side of the ruver of God. The four rivers are the four ventricles that carry your cerebral spinal fluid. Aka the river of God. Your spine is the serpent, and more specifically in this story it was literally eve's darkness. The four cheribum are the four corners of the mind. It's in the east because that's where the eastern star is. Aka sirius. The all seeing eye smh. Man has become like one of us... we are one in God. Nobody gets to the father accept through me... the knowledge of good and evil, aka you have to understand what evil is smh. You can only do that by sinning and to sin is to die. For their sins they were cast down simply because the eighth king, d evil, always returns. You can't have life without death, and you can't have good without d evil within. All things come from God. That includes your evil thoughts. Stop the dumb BS diagrams and misleading interpretations. You freemasons are sick in the head man, fr.
I have always been perplexed by the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree. As soon as you mentioned it being in the garden my mind went to that story. It makes so much more sense now.
Cursing supplementation itself. No need for supplementation if one goes directly to Christ.
@@shadowbody😂😂😂😂 keep telling yourself that lie

Johnathan i fell to my knees the moment you connected christ being on the cross as being the embodiment of the whole garden of eden story. The surge of understanding that washed over me was pretty f*ckin intense. I mean my goodness THIS is why christianity has endured and should. This is what i was missing when was a teenager dedicating my time to atheistic arguments and christianity bashing...i didnt fully see the deep symbolic understanding of the christian* tradition.
the same reaction of the same part of the video:)))
I'm Orthodox and i had the same visceral reaction
orthodox here also:))
Amen.
I'm a Jew. There is no Judaeo Christianity. We reject the New Testament. Would it surprise you to know that we have our own interpretation of this?
16 "Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called happy."
The Tree of Life is the Torah. And in it is contained G-ds Law. "O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day." King David
Make it about Jesus, Mohammed or anyone you wish. But it has a context.
So a tree is like a fractal. An infinite pattern essentially, representing many ‘independent’ yet inseparable things.
The symbolism in the world we live in, and how it all fits in with the Christian symbolism, is so profound it boggles my mind...
A fractal is like a tree. The tree is a library of values and an embodiment of principles.
One of them is the repetition of the fractal.
Awesome explanation. Thank you. Needed an *everything belongs* moment tonight and the Holy Spirit allowed me to not feel the lonely dryness I've been carrying lately. I get so much joy when in the mystery of symbolism. Thanks again for being a good voice.
I got very emotional towards the end there, that was fascinating Jonathan thank you.
The more I listen to your videos, the more I begin to understand what Jesus means, and the closer I feel to God, or at least understanding what his word means.
These are really great videos. Please keep it up.
Thanks for the touching comment. All the best on your own journey.

Tree/Brain
Words/Fruit
Seeds/Ideas
Heart/Garden
Light/Knowledge
Water/Thought
Plant/Hear
A tree produces fruit and when consumed there are seeds within and get planted in the garden, with water and light the seed will spring forth.
A brain speaks words with ideas and when heard, with thought and knowledge you can manifest.

This also corresponds with our chakras which are like a tree with our top chakra connected to God and the root chakra connected to earth. Genius!
Thank you! Screenshot taken.
@@divinegraceberbano1256 Thank you @Ron Tate, I suppose the best place to start explaining what the physical things of this realm translates to in the realm of allegory/metaphor so let us start with the "4 Elements" which are both literal and metaphorical and by the way the word element is a compound word,
(EL= Of God in masculine)
(Le = Of God Feminine)
(Ment = of the Mind) It is a suffix of Latin origin which means; the product of doing something a.k.a. "finished work".
The first element is Air (Literal=Air, Metaphorical=Breath) which is the most important or the Alpha, it is in all the other elements as well, the word "Spirit" is from the Latin word Spiritus which means Breath. We use Air to breath and to speak which passes knowledge. God is a Spirit which means that God is Air.
The second element is Fire, (Literal=Fire, Metaphorical=Light/Knowledge) Fire is an energy which empowers, an Atom/Energy creates, Atum/The Sun creates, Adam/The 1st Son creates which by the way all were split into two to create. Light is the first of all creation, it is through light that all things were created.
The third element is Water, (Literal=Water, Metaphorical=Thought) Water gives life, it is a powerful force on this planet, thought is about the most powerful force of the mind, water gives life and it's through thought that we conceive or manifest things into this realm, (Mary/Mariah/Maria) means "Sea of sorrow", She conceived the "Son of God".
The fourth element is Earth (Literal=Earth, Metaphorical=Body) In Genesis the first appearance is God/Air, He hovers of the Waters/Thought and says; "Let there be Light/Fire/Knowledge"
This was the first video that got me hooked, watching it four years later, and I'm still find treasures.....more Treasures than the first time. Thank you Father God, using the Bro Pageau so mightily....❤😂
Thank you. This was so heartbreakingly beautiful. This transcends language. Christ is beyond words. Opposites together at the same time. Mind-blowing.
Does it feel to you, like it does to me, that you understand somewhere in your deepest spirit in a way you can’t wrap your mind around? Like seeing a gemstone at the bottom of a pool. The water, light, and any objects in the pool obscure it, but you know there is something bright and beautiful there. The most valuable thing of all.
Thanks, Jonathan. I had to laugh, at the end of the video you talked about how you went on longer than you'd intended. As I could feel you wrapping up I(!) was thinking, "Oh man, he's wrapping. I'd love to hear more about ..." Keep up the great work, brother.
This was very helpful to me both in accessing the conversation of the Bible and opening up more of the Eastern tradition to me. Very cool. Thanks. pvk
Awesome, I wish it were longer! Can't get enough of this.
I remember a Greek Orthodox professor saying that when the eyes of Adam and Eve were opened, they saw-not only their own nakedness but also-Christ on the cross. Turning their eyes from the cross, they then saw how all the world followed the cycle of cross-tomb-resurrection, and rather than participate in this cosmic order by embracing any cross or vulnerability themselves, they instead tried to flee this order and return to the non-being from which they came-if only through hiding themselves. I want to say he attributed that to Maximus, but after years of searching (and a bit of thesis research) I still can't track down which of the fathers came up with this gloss.
It would indeed be great to know where that came from. Thanks for the insight.
I believe it came from somewhere in Maximus the Confessor but the story also involved some Athonite elder. Exact source uncertain. 🤷🏻♂️
Profound insights those !
Jonathan this was a phenomenal video! Unbelievable how great the mysteries in the bible are. I love how you take a thread or a theme in the Bible and show its manifestations and meanings like this and like in your video "Following a Symbolic Thread | Heaven and Earth From Genesis to Christ".
Awesome man. Wow. We have a great God
The moment you mentioned the crown blew my mind. He put on top what was at the bottom, just like he is the Alpha and Omega.
I'm re-watching this video on Good Friday. Nearly brings me to tears when Johnathan talks about the Crucifixion. Would love to have a video all about the Crucifixion and Resurrection around Easter time.
This is still one of the most amazing videos to introduce people to symbolism! I share it everytime anyone asks about understanding symbolism. Simply incredible!!
Perhaps the most concise and persuasive articulation of Scripture's pragmatic integrity. In a nutshell (from a tree of course, and in its season, speaking only for this squirrel). Excellent. Thank you. No questions.
I can feel my heart getting enlarged and filled with thanksgiving hearing this message explained. Thank you.
Thank you for this presentation. I appreciate all your efforts in this project. Perhaps the absence of the fig tree in the Crucifixion is significant in that Christ is naked, totally vulnerable without any attempt to hide behind fig leaves like Adam and Eve. Rather he embraces his vulnerability "despising the shame".
Great video. I have also done some investigation into this symbolism and come across another fascinating connection. I'll try to keep it brief. The Hebrew word for tree is "etz". When the LXX translators came to this word they had to decide between two greek words for "tree", dendron and xulan. For most uses they put dendron. However, for verses referring to a cursed tree (cursed is everyone hung on a tree), they would use the word xulan. Now fast forward a few hundred years, the book of Revelation never mentions the cross, however, it often mentions the tree of life, specifically, the "xulan" of life in greek. We can see here that John is making a connection between the tree of life in the garden and the cross. But it gets better. The rule from the garden is that if you eat the fruit of the tree of life you live. And in John 6 Jesus tells us to eat his body and blood, in other words, to partake of the "fruit" of the "tree of life", that is, his body on the cross. But what is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Well, knowledge of good and evil comes through the law, and Moses represents the law. He also had a tree, specifically, his staff. And his staff turns into a snake, just like there was a snake in the tree of the law in the garden. So the two trees represent the two covenants. The tree of the law, which is supposed to impart life, actually brings death (see Romans). And the xulan, which is supposed bring death and a curse, is actually what brings life.
A fascinating trip through language and how scripture uses language to display sacred paradox.
I know it's been 5 years since you wrote this, but I just found this video by Jonathan. You are so right! I also came to the conclusion that the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was the law. The law reveals the perfect God, but convicts all mankind, as Paul pointed out, it shows us our sins. I didn't know about the 2 words for tree and that is an awesome find and showing how the same word in connection with the cross is used for the tree of life in Revelation and His body as the fruit, is awesome!
As a person with a forensic-focused brain, this makes my head hurt, but in a good way. Thank you for helping expand how I think.
Great video. I learned a lot. Still processing.
Awesome eye opening video Jonathan. Looking forward to many more.
Powerful Pageau
So incredible that there is so much symbolism that can be drawn out of the reality of God in the flesh, his creation and order, and His preordained plan. Amazing!
Thank you for your interpretation. I look forward to appreciating all this in eternity as well.
Thank you for providing soulific edification. If I am allowed to propose suggestions for future content - what about Lord of the rings
Mathias Swartling yes lord of the rings would be awesome
I am so grateful for mr Peterson, not only for what he's done, but because on exodus he introduced me to you. Big fan Dr. Pageau! I hope my symbolic analysis can reach the quality of your's someday.
I’m someone who has been thinking and learning about both the Garden story and the Crucifixion for years. But this video has added so many things I didn’t see before. I was recently listening to Northrop Frye (a genius) speak bout the tree and the water. But you have gone further than even he did! God bless you and keep up the good work!
Not too obscure at all! I love this stuff. These videos on symbolism are quite literally changing how I look at the world.
Amazing video, as always. LOVE the idea of Paradise being on the top of a mountain with its rivers flowing down. Makes perfect sense!
This was beautiful and illuminating, thank you for making this.
Not too obscure at all! Absolutely fascinating and you presented everything very well! I can't get enough of this. Keep them coming!
“No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.” -- C.G. Jung
thankfully, Jung was smart enough to know, the fundamentalist "Creationists" were idiots. Jung and Freud were fantastic minds.
This just keeps reminding me of a torus field with zero point being the center of creation, the base of the tree with the roots at the bottom. Awe inspiring.
Oh my goodness! This was amazing! Thank you for explaining this. It’s Jan 10 and we still have our Christmas tree up. Jesus will climb that tree by Easter. Glory to God in the Highest!
I started watching this video not thinking that I would even watch a minute. I watched all the way through. Such good stuff, thank you.
Man... that was ... something. This whole story is far more mysterious than I have ever thought.
Thankfull for have known professor's Jonathan Pageau content. Thank you, Professor. from Brazil.
Those who become like children will know the kingdom: so children are vulnerable, and fearlesss. In eden they were vulnerable at first ...
Hey Jonathan. Your's is the best ever explanation I ever came across in decades.
This just blew my mind. Wow. Thank you Jonathan
Wow! Thank you! I've never been disappointed watching your videos. God bless!
This was so good! The mystery and symbology has been kind of confusing but you made this video so clear! Thank you.
I relisten to this video every now and then and I always hear something I could’ve sworn wasn’t in the video the previous times I watched. One of my favorite ones you’ve ever done! Your commentary on the parable of the sower is one of my favorites as well. Oh yeah, and the one on the symbolism of 666.
Your best video yet. This stuff gets very deep
wow. i love how you brought it all together in the end. beautifully done.
Clear. Useful. Lovely. Unspeakably dear that our ancestors spoke with and on symbols to crack open and conceal the structure of reality. You, as their presenter, are thanked by us, the receivers.
Just beautiful interpretation and study. Thank you, kindly. This rich description of the Garden just gave me a sweet creative idea....
Whoaaaa. I've been reading the gospels and the creation story repeatedly this month, and this was incredibly illuminating. Thanks!
I learn more about the person telling the story than the story itself. I am always amazed at the creativity of people retelling interpretive ability. 🤔
So edifying to learn it all, my worldview has been drastically impacted with these symbolic interpretations!
Thank you for this video. It's amazing how many authors and artists understood this symbolism and proceed to illustrate it in their craft over the centuries.
Hey Jonathan, I was listening to this very interesting meditation on how the crusifixion contained all the elements of the garden of eden. You mentioned the cross being 2 trees and the thorn crown being the fourth tree. I realized that the vig-tree is also there. As I recall the soldiers were gambling the undercloths of christ underneath the cross. Fascinating how your symbolic explanations are so readily extendible and applicable. Regards.
I remember reading Dante’s Purgatory and my surprise that the Garden of Eden was at the top of a mountain. When Dante and Virgil climbed back up to the surface of the earth from Hell, they were in the southern hemisphere which was portrayed (if I remember rightly) as a vast ocean because all land had been moved to the northern hemisphere. I can’t remember why. So they sail the ocean until they get to this island which consists of the different levels of Purgatory. I had no idea why Dante chose this scenario but your video makes me think that maybe he was drawing a picture of sinful humanity rising up from the chaos of the ocean to be cleansed as they worked their way back to the type of relationship Adam had enjoyed with God before the Fall.
Thank you for your videos on symbolism, Jonathan. For years, I have been enraptured by mythology and its symbolic significance, though I don't have quite the brain-power to tie these concepts together.
As an Orthodox Christian and writer, I am sometimes hesitant to dive too deeply into the symbolic meaning of events in the Bible because I'm afraid of being labeled a heretic or just another liberal Christian who doesn't have enough faith to believe in the events, and so I'm attempting to "spiritualize" them.
Ok, I thought I was jaded. You blew my mind, in a beautiful way.
You are just unbelievable. You're so good at explaining all these things that are never explained properly
This is such a great video Jonathan!
I think certain types of people have a need for the sublime and others have a need for the literal or practical. As a former atheist I always had the idea the literal was the truest and religion was claims of the literal. And that works for the more literal minded people, they see science and materialism as the best tool for their lives, but I've always been hungry for the sublime and which is I found new age stuff appealing in my teens. I've since recently discovered the sublime in christiananity and western culture as a whole and I must say I'm saddend I was never sold the sublime aspect of both as a kid, I feel robbed.
Very thought invoking, bringing a lot of ideas into focus and I liked the threads of continuity!!!
Thank you so much Jonathan! May God grant you many blessed years!
Thank you, Mr. Pageau, for sharing your knowledge.
Bro I've been thinking about the symbolism of trees and the Garden of Eden for months now and you've explained everything for me and connected everything neatly together
Brilliant class sir, I would say that there is all that AND the amazing fact that Jesus was a carpenter, a shaper of trees... The way the story comes together is just beautiful
Love it!I would love to hear a symbolic interpretation of Jesus walking on water and Peter attempting to do the same.The chaos of the water/ocean, the chaos of the storm, Jesus walking on chaos and ordering chaos.Just from my shallow understanding of the symbolism in the story, I can see such depth and meaning in it.
In the meantime, I have written an article about this. www.orthodoxartsjournal.org/icon-carving-of-christ-pulling-st-peter-from-the-water/
moved to comment because hearing the crown of thorns purpose scratched the surface and now Iam a step nearer to being enlightened. Many thanks.......
I have always been fascenated by the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon symbolism of interlacing representing the interconnectedness of everything. This includes the interlacing of tree branches and roots. And sometimes the interlacing of tree limbs with animal and human limbs as well. (and also with serpents) It reminds me of how different the mind set was of these ancient Celts and how much has been lost over time. Perhaps its not too late to recover some of this knowledge.
The word in Genesis is "lingum", not "arbor". It means "wood" but also can mean "tree" just as in English we can say "the wood" or "the woods" for forest. The antiphon for Good Friday in the RCC is "Behold the wood [lingum] upon which hung the salvation of the world." All the parallels of the Cross of Calvary with the Tree of Life are intentional.
Absolutely amazing! Subscribed!
I'm a new subscriber and I really like and admire your work on this channel. Blessings to you and your family. Love from Finland!
Just wow Jonathan. This is incredible. Absolutely incredible.
Pontius Pilate ate from the Tree of Good and Evil and cast us out of the garden once more.
Whoever wrote these stories must have been super geniuses. This is so incredible I haven't even processed all of it. It's absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for this.
From Wiki:
In all gospel accounts, Pilate is reluctant to condemn Jesus, but is eventually forced to give in when the crowd becomes unruly and the Jewish leaders remind him that Jesus' claim to be king is a challenge to Roman rule and to the Roman deification of Caesar. Roman magistrates had wide discretion in executing their tasks, and some readers[who?] question whether Pilate would have been so captive to the demands of the crowd. Pilate was later recalled to Rome for his harsh treatment of the Jews.[27][28] The tree of Good and Evil is the border between order and chaos
The story literally embodies the sentiment of them saying that the world was not ready to live in harmony between order and chaos. That people were still too chaotic to achieve Eden. That in eating from the tree of Good and Evil they'd actually attained some good. But they were still too evil. That is, they had attained some measure of order, some measure of control over their subconsciousness, over their lives. Some measure of control over their baser instincts and had started to be able to really project themselves out on to the world. He's then demonstrating that they'd not eaten enough from the tree. One taste was not enough. You need to eat more. He's literally saying there's not enough order. Neither in ourselves, nor in our societies. He's literally demonstrating that by having the chaotic mob tell him to kill the Tree of Life. To cast it away when it was presented to them again, for they were not yet ready, and then...
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.".
I mean wow. That's pretty incredible? I don't even know what to think of this.
This was excellent, thank you! More like this please.
Thank you, Jonathan!
Additionally, I imagine that the 4 rivers flowing in/from different directions are intended to represent the cross of Christ by flowing from North, South, East, and West.
Living water.
There were many trees in the garden. Remember God said you may eat from all of these trees except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
This great commentary was released weeks before my younger brother Trey died on February 19, 2018.
After his death I was drawn to the symbol of the World Tree or Tree of Life.
I’ve been wearing a Tree pendant ever since.
I’m not fully clear why I was spiritually connected to this symbol. What you’ve taught in this video has been very enlightening.
😘
Trey is near enough Tree.
Awesome. Not too much for me. I was blessed being brought up to read the Bible. From the cradle. Fascinating. Thank you so much. PS. really appreciated your input on the Exodus story with the panel.
He started at the garden too, when it was time for him to die. To the garden and all the way up the hill of the skull with that cross. It's been said, the Jewish people found the ark of covenant. They found it right under the ground where the crucifixion took place. And on top of the lid was dried blood, where they tested the blood and it was Christ's blood on top. He positioned the ark centuries before, for when the soldier speared his side, the earthquake happened to let his blood go through to sanctify the top of the ark of the covenant.
Mind is BLOWN. Wow.
Wow... amazing. I love every part of it. Thanks
Whoa. Pascha tomorrow will be seen with new eyes this year! XB in advance, and many thanks for the amazing content :)
Wow, such a mind-blowing interpretation! Drank all of it like a clear stream~
I must have watched this particular video thirty times or more. Each time I hear something a didn’t hear before.
Separating order from chaos seems like creating a closed system to me. We know that open systems are very unpredictable whereas a closed system is insulated from external variables and can function with improved predictability. Now picture that in reference to Earth and the vastness of space, as we currently understand it...
Geocentrism makes more sense now. Thanks Jonathan!
Not too obscure, it was a great insight. Thanks, and keep it up!
So beautiful!
amazing - how this connection between Christ, the cross and Creation was "hiding" in plain sight...
Welp, that's multiple times--in one day--that Hymns on Paradise has been recommended to me....
Guess it's time to read it.
Thank you so much! I will have to return to this more and more times!
beautiful presentation. Thank you so much
Amazing video thanks Jonathan! Just blew my mind at the end with Christ encompassing all the elements.
Loved this! I would watch another hour if you have more to expand on with this stuff
Mind is BLOWN AWAY..... PRAISED BE JESUS THE CHRIST....❤❤
Interesting! I immediately thought of that study on delayed gratification with the marshmallows when you said God was testing Adam and Eve and that eventually God was going to give them the fruit from the tree.
Belated thanks to Shane Patton, for suggesting a topic I didn’t know I would find so intriguing. Well-played, son.
