The Tree of Life
In Genesis 1, humans are the idols of God. Not trees or animals. But there is a tree that conveys the life of God to the image of God. That's what the tree of life represents. Same with the tree itself. In ancient Near East, the trees are symbols of specific gods. And granted, it's a symbol, but in idle is a physical manifestation. So I just know, because this happened to me, the thing about the tree became a distraction from the meaning of the idea.
