Revelation 22:2 · World English Bible
in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The tree of life is the human spine, the central column standing in the midst with the river of spinal fluid flowing on either side, and its 12 fruits are the 12 powers or faculties seated along that column, one ripening in each turn of the cycle. This is the anatomy of the awakened body drawn as a garden: the nerve-tree rooted in the sacrum and crowned in the head, bearing its harvest month by month as consciousness rises.

ESOTERIC
The tree of life is the human spine, the central column standing in the midst with the river of spinal fluid flowing on either side, and its 12 fruits are the 12 powers or faculties seated along that column, one ripening in each turn of the cycle. This is the anatomy of the awakened body drawn as a garden: the nerve-tree rooted in the sacrum and crowned in the head, bearing its harvest month by month as consciousness rises. The leaves that heal the nations are the branching nerves that carry wholeness to every part, since the nations are the many members and organs of the one body.
When the current runs clean up the central channel, the tree of the spine yields its full round of powers and mends the whole living frame from within.
The tree of life: the human spine, the central nerve-column rooted below and crowned in the head The river: the spinal fluid flowing on either side of the column, the current of life within 12 fruits: the 12 powers or faculties seated along the spine, one ripening in each turn of the cycle The leaves: the branching nerves that carry healing outward to every member The nations: the many organs and members of the one body, the parts made whole by the current

Which part of my body has been quietly carrying this week for me?
The sushumna is the central channel along the spine, and the centers strung along it are said to open in their own order as the life force rises. Nothing is forced open out of turn.
The cook's blade stays sharp for years because he follows the natural openings in the ox rather than hacking across the grain. Working with the body's own structure is what keeps it whole.
The teaching is offered as medicine and the teacher as a physician, aimed at curing the wound rather than explaining it. A man shot with an arrow needs it drawn out, not a theory about who shot it.
