The tree itself is an excellent way of analogizing 
the anatomy of the cosmos.  
	We are starting from the point of that part of the 
tree which produces fruit.  It is worthy to say that Jesus 
was as described, the first fruit, yielded at His ascension. 
Otherwise, He is aptly described as "The Branch", after 
which the Branch Davidians of Waco took their name.  
	If one is to go from one branch to another, one must 
climb down to some likely point and reascend, "warping" and 
"folding".  I  would guess that reference in the Orion file 
to "velocity drives" has to do with direct communication 
between extremities of the tree.  This is the manner in 
which we usually think of travel, how to overcome the huge 
distances, how to get to sufficient velocity.  
	The zylem and phloem, the two conduits of the tree's 
fluids up and down respectively follow the pathways that the 
man of unusual experiences describes for himself when he 
talked of having to perform various tasks, such as the 
retieval of a crystal for some dispossessed aliens, the ones 
who lost their ship during the Philadelphia Experiment.
	Generally, the root system of a tree parallels the 
development of the visible portion of the tree.  The girth 
of the root system is that of the girth of the foliag of the 
tree.  The upper part is analogous to Michael, the 
Sierpinski we see, and the roots to Gabriel.
	The seed that had become the tree is vacuum, let's 
say.  Each of ourselves is a nascent tree.  This is talked 
about generally in the book, The Clock Paradigm, which goes 
on  through "orcharding".  
	The stages of the tree from germination through 
fructation are, in the cosmos, those stages which are 
generally appreciated with varying degrees of accuracy or 
perception.  The trick is to generate those functions or 
those environments locally through some form of machination. 
	Undertanding zeropoint physics involves being aware 
of the range of the dynamics of the cosmos.  
	When one wants to go toward the trunk, one devides 
time to do so.  The ungerminated seed is zero-time, the bud 
is the second.  This is just like the saucer.  But the 
circumference is traced on the way to the rim, not around 
the rim.  Decoupling occurs at the rim.  The ring around an 
authentic or "electrodynamic" entity is the point of 
creation.  Decoupling is what happens, according to ordinary 
astrophysical study, when the cosmos is old enough or large 
enough that light may escape the attractive force of the 
ultradense body growing out of the big bang.  The opposite 
effect is gotten when going the other way, going so close to 
a black hole or other attractive body that one cannot 
escape, not even light can escape; such is called crossing 
the "Event Horizon".
	The equator of an EDS, electrodynamic sphere or a 
disc is analogous to the ground on which the tree as a seed 
lays.  The sending down of the roots first is equivalent to 
the zimzum referred to out of Jewish Cabbalistic teachings 
(which I have also referred to in describing the facial 
appearances of other species).
	Understanding the differences between species has 
been talked in terms of our immaturity, our laborious 
selfishness, our tendency to interact with each other in 
terms of a community that is internalized to the actor but 
which has a perversion that excludes others.  I talked about 
how individuals are never American until they are in a 
foreign prison and say, "but I am an American, you can't 
treat me this way."  But in America, we are fat, cute, rich, 
a color or something.  This occurs within local situations 
of governance: city, county, state and nation, which we do 
not serve nor respect when we allow for predation in the 
society because it is on the "other side of the tracks". To 
the big shots, the scum slamming us like sheep, we are all 
"inner city", the term used to get electoral permission to 
cripple and to murder in the general population; something 
we did not expect and persist to deny.
