Lower self and higher self - their relationship and the image of a tree
If some of the behaviour of human beings cannot be explained, it is because the relationship that exists in every human being between the lower nature and the higher nature is not understood. That is why you may see people who have been models of morality and virtue for years, suddenly fall prey to uncontrolled passions and succumb to all kinds of excesses. And conversely, there have been criminals or debauched individuals who suddenly choose to go down the path of goodness, of sacrifice, or of holiness. This is where the tree can provide us with an explanation. The branches of the tree are connected to the roots: as the branches grow longer and thicker, the roots also push deeper and deeper into the ground. Well, in human beings, as in trees, the very top is connected with the very bottom and vice versa. For those who are unaware of this and have not studied how the connection between the top and the bottom operates, many phenomena of psychic life will remain impossible to control or even to understand.
