Speculations on the Tree of Life
Does the structure of the tree of life have any underlying logic to it connecting it to any other system or structure? Here are a couple of suggestions.The Tree of life and the Eight Trigrams
![The Tree of life and the Eight Trigrams](images/zztree2.gif)
The eight trigrams may correspond to sephiroth 2-8 of the tree of life. Note for example that the Sun Sephiroth fits well with the trigram composed of 3 yang lines whilst the Moon Sephiroth corresponds with the trigram composed of three yin lines. The central/neutral Tao may correspond with sephiroth 1: Kether and sephiroph 10: Malkuth. Both are on the central neutral column and both correspond numerically with number 1(ie 10=1+0=1). The trigrams are not positioned arbitrarily: each is placed so that it opposes its opposite and thus cancels out to neutral/tao.

The Triangle based Tree of Life
The basic geometric shape of a triangle composed of 6 smaller triangles may correspond with the (from bottom to top) "1,1,2,1,2,2,1" structure of the Tree of life.![Triangle Based Tree of Life](images/triangletree.jpg)
Note that not all the traditional pathways are illustrated here. Those interested will copy the diagram themselves and do their own research. The above diagram contains 9 lines +the 10 sephiroth equalling 19
