Tree of Life - Eye of God
TREE OF LIFE/KNOWLEDGE – THE EYE OF GOD
The Tree of Life represents God as a joined mind and heart, as the crown and roots of the Tree of Life. Above all is the all-seeing Eye of God, within the Trinitarian symbol of the triangle. The heart is the foundation of faith and source of nourishment. God's omniscience often is portrayed through the symbol of the eye. The eye is the window to the soul and spirit, the organ of spiritual perception. The Old Testament prophet Ezekiel described God's glory and His throne upon wheels within wheels full of eyes (Ezek. 1:18,10:12). This drawing started when I saw eye-like figures in the branches of a tree. Then, inspired by a majestic oak that I had been looking at for months, I incorporated those eyes spontaneously, in place of the leaves
