Dendritic tree

Man is a physical creature in which a godly spirit dwells placed there by God according to His image.

In this physical world we are stretched between two realms. Both beckon to us every day. It is in that spiritual realm between two spiritual dominions we make all choices.

It is a realm of spiritual currents ebbing and flowing. Most of the choices we make in our heads, our minds, are the result of choices we already made in our spirit without words or ideas projected on our minds.

We use our physical minds to interpret what we think we see or understand. This usually depends on rationalizing these images into an acceptable form.

We are very subject to the influence of ideas already dwelling in our minds which may come from either realm. Our minds, the "dendritic tree" spoken of in Cannabis is the tree of knowledge.

In the brain we have electrically excitable Neurons (neurone or nerve cell) which possesses a cell body (soma) and neurites, dendrites or axon. They do not actually touch one another but use chemicals called neurotransmitters, serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine, to pass messages across gaps called a synapse. These cells may form a complex pattern called "dendritic tree". It is in this dendritic tree that our consciousness thinks and where we are are aware of thinking.

We project our own images and beliefs on the screen of our mind and believe in those images. They become our reality based on the leading of the spirit we choose to follow..

Man made ideas, philosophies and religion do this all the time.

The "dendritic tree" produces images that we defend and cling to to create a sense of stability and assurance. We literally bow down and worship these mental projections, these idols of the mind.

They may include ideas about God and His rules for "good and evil" and we often unmoor the symbols of sacred texts from their original intended meaning and mold them or hew them from the original intent or purpose so that they will fit what we would like to believe is reality.
