The Sacred Assyrian Tree of Life is the divine knowledge. The Tree is ancient wisdom. It is a path for human to become a perfect-man (insan kamil)". The Tree is a bridge between the world and God and His Heaven. It is a ladder to be climbed through ascetic life and a device to receive divine powers and knowledge.
A Tree generally represents the nature of the forces behind Creation on all levels, from microscopic to macrocosmic.
The significance of the Tree is seen in the ancient world among Assyrians and Egyptians. Jews later on inherited the concept of the Tree, apparently from Babylon, slightly modified it and formed Sacred Teachings of Kabbalah, a Jewish mysticism that means, Ghabel Alahah, in English, Accept God/Receiving. The Tree is seen at the second chapter of the Old Testament, and throughout the whole Bible.
"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." (Genesis 2:9)
And amazingly enough, even the very last verse of the Bible refer to the Tree of Life.
”Blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city”. (Revelation 22:14)
