Becoming One with the Tree
Every time that any person wonders about reality or asks the Sacred Question they "Become One with the Tree". At that moment they open their minds and hearts to reality - the way it really is - and they accept the importance of reality in their daily lives. This is not only good for the individual who becomes "One with the Tree" but it is good for the Tree because it inspires the individual to think about the real world. Becoming One with the Tree (hopefully) will cause some people to contribute of themselves though Intellectual Tithing so that something of themselves lives on for future generations.

To Become One with the Tree is to realize that we are all part of the Tree of Knowledge and that the Tree of Knowledge is in us. Our very thoughts are made of words that were handed down through the generations and our knowledge comes from those who taught us. We live in the Sacred Moment processing this knowledge and adding to it so that those who come after us will have more to work with than we had. To be One with the Tree is to give thanks for what we inherited and to add something of ourselves that is worth being passed on to the future.

Newsflash
Marc Perkel, the founder of the Church of Reality is now listed on the American TSA list as a terrorist suspect. The TSA (US Transportation Security Administration) maintains a "selectee list" which lists people who are flagged for heightened security screening. This list, which has not caught a single real terrorist, is used mostly as a political enemies list against activists who are speaking out against government abuses of power.

"In some ways this is a badge of honor", states Marc Perkel, First One of the Church of Reality. In this environment of repression of non-Christian religions in America, if you aren't on the TSA list you aren't getting your message out. I consider it to be an acknowledgement that I'm doing my job."

This selectee list is not the worst list that the TSA has. Marc is not on the no fly list which would have prevented him from flying at all. This is just a harassment list that the US government keeps to intimidate activists.

As a result, the United States of America is now on the Church of Reality list of nations who are hostile to Realism and Realists and the US is a nation that is moving in a dangerous direction towards oppressing religious freedom.
