The Nature of Trees by David Weedmark
Twenty-five years ago when I had my experience, it wasn’t talked about like it is today. The few people I did tell of it have been understanding and curious but to this day say they just don’t get it.
I’ve never been good at story telling and am very grateful for folks who are, like David Weedmark, author of The Nature of Trees.
The Nature of Trees is a spiritual journey that examines the relationship between the ego and the soul along one’s life path.
From The Nature of Trees:
“From my own experience, I would suggest that there are really three aspects of the self. Each is distinct from the others, but only when they are brought together is the self complete. 
First, I would say, there is the Ego.
Second, there is the Soul.
And third, there is the Path.
The Ego is the portion of our self that exists only in this world. It perceives the world around you and your body as being the only reality. It is more than your personality, but is certainly not the totality of who you are. It sometimes appears to have many voices. Perhaps those voices were what you were trying to number. I should suspect its capacity for disguise is almost limitless, but beneath each of those disguises, there is only one Ego.
The Soul is the portion of the self that transcends the physical world. It neither perceives nor is affected by the world around you. It neither perceives nor is bound to your body.
The Path is the place where you have balance between the Ego and the Soul.”
I was so grateful to find David and his wonderful book. In my journey of searching, I hadn’t been able to balance ego and soul and was growing frustrated not knowing what I was supposed to do with this “knowledge”.
Reading The Nature of Trees, I found the balance I was looking for in my life’s purpose, my path. I knew I had to trust what I felt in my heart and follow my intuition, follow my path.
I also knew I had to befriend my ego and allow my soul to lead the way. This is a discovery that has changed my life. I thank David with all my heart for his sharing his beautiful story. I hope you find peace in your heart when you read it. I hope you discover your balance. Love and blessings, TJ
