Tree Of Shadow
On the Tree of Life, I spoke of the lights of God. But for there to be the emergence of the divine lights, the God being had to withdraw portions of its essence from the whole of reality. This left shadows to compliment the divine lights. These dimensions of light and shadow not only have an impact on our plane, but they interact with each other as well. The planes of light and the planes of shadow are paired, sort of like multiversal yin-yang symbols.
You see the touch of the shadow planes in some people stronger than others. It isn’t as common, sort of like being left handed, and they do call the tree of shadow the sinister path. It’s possible to use the tree of shadow in the same way you use the tree of life. Each virtue has a companion vice. Each life affirmative ideal has its own facet of despair. The shadow and the light are not at war.
“Where there is much light, the shadow is deep” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (German Playwright, Poet, Novelist and Dramatist. 1749-1832)
“When the light is crooked, the shadow is crooked” Yiddish Proverb
