"Adam Kadmon" can
be translated as "The Projection of Man." Yahushúa, the Angel of the
Presence, is the Projection
of YH-- of
the godhead: the Only-begotten "Son". Because man is fashioned in God's likeness, the symbol
of the Tree of Life is therefore understood to represent both
natural man and Yahushúa, the spiritual projection, the emanation of
YHWH
Elohénu.
Very ancient, the
symbol of the Tree of Life stands at the core of Jewish
mysticism and underlies biblical prophecy. The dynamics within
the Tree of Life are therefore encoded in the Hebrew, the
Christian, and the Muslim scriptures. Understanding the
symbol's logic is fundamental to study of the dynamics of the
Crown Diamond diagram.

With roots in both Heaven
and Earth, the image of the Tree of Life is not forbidden to sons of the
covenant-- to those who are found to be in agreement with the inward
witness of the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, it is useful to remember that
we cannot not partake of its fruits without damage if we lapse,
absent-mindedly, into violation of the first commandment.
With HaShem YHWH
as our focus, however, we may safely partake of the mysteries that are
revealed to all who walk in the Position of the Son, led by the hand of
the Father, as did our elder brother Y'Shúa.
