Foreword
By Mark Simmons

When I met Shawn Carson he was teaching the Meta Pattern and as a "Jungian"
and student of Kabbalah I immediately was captivated by the lining up of
opposites, the association of the problem in earthly, sensation grounded
experience, followed by a solicitation of resource and then, a collapsed
integration between the newly anchored resource and the real-life contextual
experience. To me this was Jacob's Ladder, The Tree of Life, brought to
awareness and joined elegantly, bringing the new and unconscious into the here
and now and into matter as is its higher intent. And that tipping point of new
reality requires a future pacing of integrated experience in several other earthly
contexts in order to induct into a true new reality.

Shawn also taught and utilized the Jigsaw Pattern which reminds me of a
checklist of logical levels , contextual possibilities and attributes that determine
what's happening now. And in the Jigsaw Pattern I saw the Tree of Life and
became hopeful that one day I could use the more complete Tree of Life to work
on myself and coach others. I knew the key was to be able to access and utilize
the Tree of Life experientially. This is important because I believe that the Tree
of Life offers the most complete model for change and transformation in
personal, group and world and that this requires a visceral, conscious and active
participation in the Tree of Life’s patterns, structure, energy and meaning.

I gave Shawn a book, Tarot and the Tree of Life by Isabel Kliegman,” a book on
the Minor Arcana of Tarot that uses the Tree of Life as the main system and
metaphor to explain the worldly, contextual situation of each card. Within each
card lies the Map of the World at play, the thoughts, beliefs, values, energies,
rites of passage, personality types, archetypes, identity and life task contained
within the card. The cards have movement and symbolic connection to each of
the sephirot, their implied purpose and meaning in the cycle of life. Trusting his
own experience Shawn noticed how the historic Tree of Life was set up as a
Mirror image of himself, how the map of the ten sephirot encompassing four
worlds maps the universe as we know it. Adding to many experiences from
Hypnosois and NLP Shawn became aware of the personal growth and coaching
possibilities within the 22 paths on the Tree. From NLP Shawn recognized that
the essence characteristics and positions of the Ten Sephirot were identical with
NLP eye accessing positions and body experiences, which he knew and trusted
from working on himself and hundreds of clients. Shawn said that he reversed
the right and the left of the historical Tree so that the Tree of Life would be in
the position of the client. Reflecting a new generation of individuals and
practitioners who value their own experience, Shawn saw the need to experience
the Tree from within and not from the outside or top down. Most conventional
Tree of Life learning is Top-Down. In the dream of Jacob's Ladder the Angels
are going up and down the ladder. Today this revelation is still ignored. As the
angels go up and down a loop forms and completes the circuit system between
heaven and earth. The loop includes the returning light that manifests the new
reality and creates every experience, belief and material revelation you know.
Shawn knew that change requires experience and participation in the whole loop
not just the context point of one problem.

Each of the ten sephirot is an entry point and an essence characteristic, each a
field, and earth unto itself. Ten stations on the tree of life, where experience can
be changed, attention can be altered, resource can be noticed and personal
history can be transformed. As paths are traveled new loops completed, the Tree
provides context, pattern and framework for the most transformational work
making material changes take place, creating new neuro-pathways and changing
history.
