Dickology: The tragedy of the destruction of a Tree!

Dickology 2

Before reading this page I advice to read the first one. This blog will be like a book which You read starting at the last blog page to the first for more understanding. The book which I plan to write will be based on this blog but will be different, not only because it is written in 'Dutch-English. Not only You will start there at page 1 but it will be different as well because I got recently a secret proposal where I can not speak about yet, which can give another sight on this writings. But yes is the Universe not always changing?

It will also have some personal events. Dickology without practice are empty words, like many philosophers prove. Sitting in Your office reading books doesn't mean You understand it. Dickology is a knowledge of possibilities. In the beginning there was nothing and everything was possible. But we don't want everything, we want something nice. The world lives already a long time with knowledge's which ignore nature. We pay the price for that. I think its time to look for an alternative system, something new which learns from the past. It has to be always changing to be in contact with the universe, otherwise You will be human living in a laboratory. It has also to repair the mistakes which are made. Its an huge change but with the right feeling and understanding we can make this earth a better place than the one which we have got now, where economy is God and the holy spirit money. Why You think Banco Espirito Santo in Portugal vanished because of corruption And money mostly doesn't care about trees, nor Humans!

About Theory and Practice. The destruction of a tree: part 1

I got recently a phone call from my girlfriend when I was walking near the Teijo watching and feeling the river. She was in tears, sometimes sniffing, crying and finally almost hysterically screaming 'They are going to cut my favorite tree down!' Boom, suddenly my Teijo dreaming walk was abrupt disturbed. I said what? Which tree? Because she has on every spot of Lisbon a favorite tree. She loves trees, she loves to touch them and talk with them. Come to the Sé cathedral please, and so I did.

When I arrived there I saw her embracing a big tree in front of the cathedral. They had been brought down trees in the past on this square and didn't put any new back yet, so the square seemed to be becoming a little bit cold and bare. I went to her kissed her and tried to get her quiet, because the sounds which I heard through my mobile phone where still going on. A normal talk was not possible, so You better wait for the right moment. When she finally got tired, she sobbed 'there was a letter on the tree that they going to pull it down and I destroyed it.' And than she embraced the tree again and started to cry again. I took a look at the tree and it was really a big beautiful old tree. It must have been planted after the big earthquake of 1755 I guess. The tree was crooked in the direction of the houses next to the square and I told her, 'Yes the houses are at this moment more important than trees, its a shame but that's the time where we living in. That's why we try to make this world a little bit nicer.' It seems that was not good enough because the screaming started again and I was told to feel the tree, which I did. The strange thing was that at the moment I touched the tree at the other site of where my girlfriend was sitting she almost started screaming again, as if I was touching a button. When I opened my feeling to meet the tree and at the moment I touched it I saw some pictures, colors, and visions which made speak in trance. 'The tree knows that its going to die and knows that we can not stop it because of time. We have to go on with our art to make this world a better place.' It seemed to make her a little bit quieter. Speaking in trance usually does this to people. It opens different doors of knowledge at different times. The universe is always changing and so does the knowledge necessary for the specific moment. If You talk in trance You can listen to yourself or to your jokes and when it is not totally in harmony with the moment You can change the thing You were talking about before.

But the matter was not totally resolved yet. She now started blaming herself because she had not been at a meeting of the municipality where was decided about the fate of the tree. I told her 'if You don't know, You are innocent and even when You would have known what could You have done?.'

'I could have change their minds!.'

'How? This is a democracy, that means that the majority decides. That sounds very nice and honest my dear, but in fact it is a farce, because the people only know what they know and can be easily manipulated without that they know. They even think that they are humans and the people who know that they are not can, if they want, easy play with them. And than You have the thing with the Christianity which was ruling our continent and later a big part of the world for such a long time. The bible was written in a different time and there were many old books before. The other books like the ones from Mesopotamia and Egypt were almost the same stories. The only different thing is that the bible made a big change in the order of the universe. The male became suddenly the most important, while before the female influence was as important. The influence of the fertility of the nature was ignored. The contact with nature got lost. If You put that together with the fact that economy became in the last century when the church lost influence and power a sort of God, You understand that not the universal law will decide but the male rationality and money which have no eye for the nature. That's why People voted for the destruction of the tree, instead of trying to save it. They think they are right but in fact they don't know what they know. And that's not only a pity for this tree but for all life on this planet.'

In the beginning there was nothing and than there was made something out of it, dividing the everything what was possible in Right and Wrong and it was called reality. It was written down in several books which claimed to be true and which had to be followed. In our western world (Why we call it western?)it was for almost 2000 years the Christian bible. With this we lost the contact with the all-mighty which is always changing.

The destruction of a tree; part 2

2 days later my girlfriend woke me up early in the morning. She wanted to take photographs of the tree now it was still there. I felt her energy, it was strong and good so I felt that something was going on. When we arrived at the square I saw why she woke me up so early. On the square in front of the Sé we saw that there was a dozen workers, waiting ready to destroy the tree, next to the tree was a mobile platform. We started to go to the tree for the last time in its being now. Than I went to get wine to celebrate the trees last moments and as a homage to Dionysus the God of wine in ancient myths which was later extended to the protector of trees.

Titian, Bachus (Roman Dionysus) and Ariadne

In most old myths which I read the tree plays an important role. It is the connection with the underworld and that which is above, the sky and the water. The connection between heaven and earth and in some myths the man and woman were created out of trees. It also symbolizes the phallus of the man and the branches and leaves are connected to the female. And than we have the Tree of knowledge, a spiritual path to harmony with the universe and many more stories! So many stories and the fact where would we be without trees? What is life without breathing!

An Egyptian Tree Goddess

Here is the photo story of the destruction of a tree with a few comments.

The tree, with its branches reaching up into the sky, and roots deep into the earth, can be seen to dwell in three worlds - a link between heaven, the earth, and the underworld, uniting above and below. It is also both a feminine symbol, bearing sustenance; and a masculine, phallic symbol - another union.

Feeling the tree for the last time.

They are not bad, just bad education creates different creatures. Actually it has to do with a tree as well, the Tree of knowledge and the forbidden fruit. In the bible they made it as a bad thing to eat from it, in the summerian mythology which is much older it is a little bit more complecated. I will talk about that in a next episode.

The last dance

On the background the cathedral which is build on the place of an old Mosque! The Arabian or moors in Lisbon had more tolerance than the crusaders after them.

The Tree destroyer:

"Have ye forgotten that true and radiant morn, when in those hallowed and blessed surroundings ye were all gathered in My presence beneath the shade of the tree of life, which is planted in the all-glorious paradise? Awestruck ye listened as I gave utterance to these three most holy words: O friends! Prefer not your will to Mine, never desire that which I have not desired for you, and approach Me not with lifeless hearts, defiled with worldly desires and cravings. Would ye but sanctify your souls, ye would at this present hour recall that place and those surroundings, and the truth of My utterance should be made evident unto all of you." from the hidden words of Buhá'u'lláhh
