like this image of the cerebral ‘canopy’ because it reminds us that consciousness is not a bird, as it often seems to be in the literature – hovering, detached, coming in at the top level and alighting on the brain somewhere in the frontal lobes – but a tree, its roots deep inside us.
Consider the world's mythologic depndence on the symobology of the tree of life and world tree and their association an awareness or wisdom; Adam and Eve eat the fruit from the branches , Odin loses an eye for a sip from a well at its base.
