Toromiro Tree Of Life?

July 21, 2008

Did the story of the garden of Eden originate in the Tigris Euphrates valley? Is the Genesis Biblical account te earliest such story? Or are there earlier “garden stories” and “tree of life” metaphors? Did the Hebrew Eden story come from the Sumerian Edin story? Did they both come from a much earlier story? Asking questions, and the freedom to do so, is seeking TRUTH, which will set one free.

But where’s the toromiro tree come into all this?

The toromiro (Sophora toromiro) is a species of tree formerly common in the forests of Easter Island. The toromiro fell victim to the deforestation that eliminated the island’s forests by the first half of the 17th century, and it later became extinct in the wild. The tree is being reintroduced to the island in a scientific project partly led jointly by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Göteborg Botanical Garden, where the only remaining plants of this species with a documented origin were propagated in the 1960s from seeds collected from a single tree by Thor Heyerdahl.

All of the Garden of Eden stories (there ae dozens) speak of a tree of life.

The first meniton of a toromiro tree of life comes from Lemurian legends that have been handed down to numerous ancient civilizations. Polynesian legend says that descendants the Mu entrusted to Hotu Matua, who was the original settler of Easter Island, the toromiro tree. The point is not so much the actual tree as it is the TRUTH of the metaphor orthe TRUTH of the allegory of the garden.

Have you received the truth?
