You can use this glyph/map/mandala as a meditation tool if you are drawn to do so. It is meaningful as a metaphor for the chakra system and depicts the heavenly bodies and for our purposes; Jung's psychology. It is an ancient symbol. The most comprehensive body of knowledge about it can be found in the mystical Hebrew texts known as Kabbalah. If you are drawn to research it, there is a wealth of information available on it on the Internet and in sacred texts to which it leads. It is one of many such glyphs that may be used on one's journey toward wholeness and understanding on our unique individual and collective place in the Universe. However, it may be one that is useful to you or there may be another that you find yourself more drawn towards. Perhaps, as you say lies in the receiver which is ourselves. :-)
I apologize for the confusion, as Linda mentions here, this image of the Tree of Life was posted in response to the request of a group member of "Jung, Alchemy and the Tree of Life". This is a 4 week online seminar and it available to members who are registered for it. I may have posted in the long place here and therefore it is out of context for you.

Hello Aleksandar,
You can use this glyph/map/mandala as a meditation tool if you are drawn to do so. It is meaningful as a metaphor for the chakra system and depicts the heavenly bodies and for our purposes; Jung's psychology. It is an ancient symbol. The most comprehensive body of knowledge about it can be found in the mystical Hebrew texts known as Kabbalah. If you are drawn to research it, there is a wealth of information available on it on the Internet and in sacred texts to which it leads. It is one of many such glyphs that may be used on one's journey toward wholeness and understanding on our unique individual and collective place in the Universe. However, it may be one that is useful to you or there may be another that you find yourself more drawn towards. Perhaps, as you say lies in the receiver which is ourselves. :-)
Thanks for the help Eva
The Tree of Life is a map of Cosmos, Psyche and Matter...
