The roots and branches of a tree represent different layers of the “I” at varying depths. We can observe these layers by adjusting the depth of our awareness. When we focus only on the physical body, we are fixing our awareness on the level of the body, which is like looking at the tips of the branches—a single perspective, a localized point, a concentrated depth. However, if we fix our awareness on the whole tree, or the source from which the tree grows, the “roots,” we see a more macro, comprehensive, closer-to-reality, and complete version of the “I.” This deeper level of the I is connected to the whole and more integrated. It awakens the moment you become aware of it, and from that moment, your experience of the holistic “I” begins. You will realize that you are far more than just the tips of the branches—you are the entire tree.
By reducing the influence of the box program and not identifying with this program, a new observer emerges when one disassociates from the program, allowing a new screen to be established to compare with the true reality. They correspond to the will to receive and the will to bestow.
Our understanding of reality depends on the quality of our vessel. Kabbalah teaches us to develop the sixth sense, known as the screen, enabling us to perceive the difference between our qualities and those of the Creator.
