A tree branch does not grow separately from the tree - and its buds, leaves and fruit do not grow apart from their host branch. The unity of the group is obvious and without question. The central nourishment sustains each branch and its burden.
One’s thought process has a similar behaviour whereby the whole being is interconnected; and very simply put, if we are to consider certain thoughts themselves to be expressed or experienced as individual leaves, buds or fruit, we can understand that they are predictably very similar to the other branches of that same tree and its nature.
If an individual perceives the world in a particular way, it is as the fully formed tree unlikely to change into an entirely different species. However, and happily, the consciousness of Man does not manifest just the one tree, but a large forest of growth - and these ‘concept trees’ have sprung up at differing times ... some to wither whilst some are established - and they provide a frame of reference throughout one’s lifetime. If this was not the case our thinking would be piecemeal and gibberish. Logic is the tree for which our thinking cleaves to.
Growing a different tree takes time, yet it is vital to the task were one endeavouring to experience a new approach to an older problem. For example, and for practical purposes, many phobias and past associations can be overcome with the experiences leading to an entirely different tree of thought, rather than trying to modify the existing one.
