Tree of Life

The Tree of Life was a real shrub from Edentia that was transplanted to Urantia and maintained at the center of the Garden of Eden. It provided the complement of the life-maintenance currents of the universe that sustained the corporeal staff of the Planetary Prince and later Adam and Eve. The fruit of the tree, combined with the complemental ministry of certain universe life circuits, renewed physical existence indefinitely. After the Adamic Default, the Tree of Life was guarded by Van and his associates. It eventually ceased to function and withered when Adam and Eve were reduced to mortal status.
