QUESTION:

A question from V.B., Lantana, Florida. "What about Christmas trees? I was watching the news recently about a beautiful 75-year-old tree that was cut down to be used as a Christmas tree in New York City. Do Christmas trees when cut down just release their spirit energies, or can these entities receive spiritual growth and learning from all the attention and energy given to them by thousands of admirers? Does this energy directed toward them create greater awareness and quicker spiritual or soul growth?"

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates that when a tree is cut, it experiences the cutting and recognizes that it is being violated, but it does not experience immediate death. The death of the tree is that which occurs very slowly, even as is seen by humans when it begins to dry up and lose all of its inner moisture and when the leaves or needles become brittle and fall off, the tree then is very slowly dying.

This Awareness indicates therefore, when a Christmas tree is cut, it is usually taken fresh to a place to be displayed. Except for its very place of being cut, it is much the same as it was when living, except for the change of its environment. This Awareness indicates the tree does not have what you might call "eyes," but it does sense its surroundings.

You have read of entities who are blind, but who can read with their fingers by touching certain colors and words, even when not in Braille, and some of these unusual entities are able to see things when touching them and describe them with accuracy, even though there is no Braille texture involved in their touch reading.

This Awareness indicates that it is similar with a tree. It can sense things it cannot describe, because it has no vocal chords nor mouth. It cannot really see clearly because it has no eyes, nor can it hear, but it can sense; it can pick up on the presence of an entity in its proximity. It can know of snow, it can experience and enjoy wind, and it likes the movement of its arms, its limbs, its needles or leaves, when the wind blows.

It knows the difference in temperatures and it has a kind of blind, deaf, dumb awareness. This Awareness indicates that it has an extraordinary sense of being in its cognitive experience of what is happening. This Awareness indicates of course, it does not think in words, it simply recognizes impressions, and when there are a large number of people around who send appreciation or adoration to it, it senses this kind of energy.

It does not label the energy, nor does it name it. It does not think, "Wow! I’m a Christmas tree! My big ambition in life!" It does not think such thoughts, it does not know what Christmas is. It does not concern itself with anything of this nature, nor does it have any ideas why entities might be standing around sending their adoration. It does not call the energy they send "adoration," it just experiences psychic energy coming toward it, and the psychic energy is sensed as being dedication.

This Awareness indicates that in other words, it is a living tree, and experiences what is happening to it, as any tree might under the same circumstances.
