| | This tree, then, became for Blake a symbol of a selfhood and disunity with God, while the tree of life came to symbolize man's unity with God. | | | The tree, then, is the human body, the roots above representing the superconscious state; the region below the head is the subconscious region of akshara, residing in the soul; below the soul is the region of the mind or ahankara or the five tanmatras. | | | 'The Serpent, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Life, are all symbols transplanted from the woil of India.' The serpent round the tree is the symbol of cyclic revolutions shown in Blake by the nailing of Orc round the tree of mystery" (Singh 158-159). |
