The Tree of Life
Father talks a lot about the Tree of Life. It is the way the child lives on the good fruits that produce LIFE & avoids the bad fruits of the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil, as he/she is then spared the work of discerning through trial & error, which often they are too little for anyway, and therefore any poison & necessary needed recovery. This is especially true for those who experience instincts and impulses that are bent towards harming themselves or others as is more and more frequent in the souls living in our post-christian era.
Feeding on the Tree of Life allows us to just be about living and growing strong in the good things of God. "Fasting" if you will, from things that do not produce peace in us (when possible... ). It gives us too the freedom to learn, naturally what things we may be choosing that do not produce peace in us and then take that to prayer so we can be healed or seek understanding from the Holy Spirit about why these things occur in our lives and/or what, if anything we can do. When we learn to live a life of dependency within a real relationship with our Father, He can be the parent, and we can be the child and this gives us an environment, or way, of daily being re-formed and re-raised by God. Enjoying life in Peace and providing the necessary stability to do so. Father says too that when we do suffer, it doesn't mean that the suffering always goes away when we turn to Him, but rather that we can be at Peace with it when we are IN His will. And Barbara too has insights in the Seeing Books about how some sufferings are unnecessary that we choose and we can learn how to not choose these things for ourselves.
The promised Era of Peace will be this time of Healing & Restoration where His reign will ensure this environment for everyone BUT HE GOES MUCH FARTHER and tells us what we can do NOW to have that until the world is changed.

The Re-dedication of the TempleBarbara RC: [The Menorah has been considered by some as portraying the “Tree of Life.” This is due to its arboreal shape and its bowls molded like almond flowers. It has also been understood as a mystic symbol of light and life - the symbol of God manifest in the world, through whom the Jews hoped for immortality. Temple Menorah’s have seven lights; Hanukkah Menorah’s (used for the Maccabee’s re-dedication of the Temple) have eight lights [1 Mc 4:37-39]. When the perpetual light of the Temple was to be relighted on the occasion of this rededication, it was found that there was oil enough for only one day; miraculously, however, the oil sustained the light for eight days. The Maccabee’s were the first Jews who fought to defend their religious beliefs rather than their lives.]
[Hanukkah, the Eight-Day celebration of lights, coincides with the Catholic Octave of Christmas this year(1997) I believe that perhaps not only will Israel eventually embrace Jesus, our God and Savior, but Catholics will eventually embrace their inheritance as related to Israel.] On the Chanukah menorah, eight of the arms are for the candles which represent the 8 miracle days, and the ninth arm is for the candle used to light the others. That special ninth arm is called the "shamash," and it is usually placed above the other arms, although sometimes it can be found to the side or below the others. |
Never forget the Tree—defend it always—The Tree of Life—where I am waiting. 12/12/96
I AM the Tree of Life. 2/9/97 The Tree of Life which I want built into the walls of the Church, growing heavenward, towards Me. ...The symbol of this little Church will be a great Tree of Life with thorned roses (8) twined around its trunk and into its branches. 4/5/97 The Rose of eight blooms that twines itself around the strong, vital trunk of the Tree of Life. By the eight roses (surrounded by thorns) My children shall climb the Tree of Life—“My Fruit” of the Tree of Life. They are Mine. 4/7/97 
The trees protect the waters, child. As My children are protected by the shade of the Tree of Life. Without this protection, the waters of My Mercy dry up. Jesus and My Creation protect these precious waters so that you may drink from them freely. Be drawn to the Tree of Life; meet Me in My Creation—people, places, and things from the Heart and Mind of God. 6/12/98

"This waters the Tree of Life..."
red: Precious Blood of J.
1/28/99 Trust Me, daughter, to tell you what is expected of you. Say to all those who will listen: your Lord God and Father loves you above all “things,” as I have will listen: your Lord God and Father loves you above all “things,” as I have asked you to love Me. Do you not see; can you not hear? I am with you. This is how I come to My children in this time. This is no secret, little one. I have told you all before—in My holy Word. Seek and you will find. And you need not look too far away. I am with you all. I have never left you, not for a moment. I come to you in many ways, chiefly through each other. If you would only look and see. AND I DESIRE MOST TO DWELL IN THOSE SOULS WHO EMBRACE THE SUFFERING OF THIS WORLD, OFFERING IT IN COMMUNION WITH MY SON JESUS. This is where you will truly find your Father. Look and see in the places of My repose, in the eyes of the afflicted. Here you will find your Father. These souls are purified and well-disposed to My coming. Their invitation comes to Me on the wings of their sighs and the silence of their tears. In these I see My Son Jesus—in Whom I am well-pleased. NOT IN THE SUFFERING ALONE, BUT IN THEIR GIFT OF THIS SUFFERING. THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT OF ALL. This waters the Tree of Life in the paradise of My heart. From these comes the greenest of sprouts, delicate and fragile in their budding, alluring in their fragrance.
The Tree of Life Eternal sprouts everlasting. Bringing forth savory and luscious fruit, like no other. Pleasant to the eye and a blessing to behold. The soul yearns for the life-giving force of this tree, but knows not where to find it. Neglected has it been; preferred instead to another tree, also pleasant to the eye, but bitter is the aftertaste and perilous to the soul. First, you must eat of the Tree of Life. That is your answer, child. Eat of the Tree of Life. Then all else will be given to you—but in that order. My divine will prevails. There are consequences for the choice to abandon your Eternal Father. Look to the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Lessons to be learned. Did he [the father] pine for his son? Withered in grief for his heartfelt loss? So it is with your Eternal Father. Your love is the balm that comforts Me, My little ones. Your vigilance, too, comforts Me in My Fatherly grief. Joined together by such great suffering—the power of this love sustains the world in its present state. Shalom, daughter of My heart—My peace.
Phil 2:6-15— “For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” “Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But emptied himself, .... For which cause God also hath exalted him,... .
