The tree is found in most spiritual traditions as a symbol for the universe

"The tree is found in most spiritual traditions as a symbol for
the universe. All creatures have a role to play on this tree,
anywhere from the roots to the fruits, including the trunk, the
branches, the leaves and the flowers. Everything that exists, all
activities, all realms find their place on the tree of life.
At different times of the year, the leaves, flowers and fruits
fall from the tree; they decompose and become humus, which is
gradually absorbed by the roots. It is the same with beings. When
human beings die, they return to the primeval earth, but soon
they reappear in some part of the tree. Nothing is lost, beings
are forever disappearing and reappearing on the cosmic tree of
life. "

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
