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.
