Flesh Trees

Living Sustenance from the Experimental Age of Creation

Long before the planets of Olam-Chuphshah were settled with enduring civilizations, angels were granted a rare and controversial privilege. This era, later classified by the 24 Elders as The Experimental Age, marked a temporary suspension of normal creative boundaries. During this time, angels were permitted to design animals and living creatures of their own imagination upon the planets of the Olam-Chuphshah universe.

It was a bold experiment.

Not only were angels allowed to create life, but the creatures they fashioned would worship their creators—the angels—instead of Ahavah the Most High. Surprisingly, this arrangement was not forbidden. The 24 Elders, in their wisdom, perceived value in observing the outcomes of such an unusual creative structure. What followed would reshape cosmic understanding of life, responsibility, and unintended consequence.

One of the most remarkable products of this era was the emergence of Flesh Trees.

The Experimental Age: A Controlled Suspension of Creative Law

The Experimental Age occurred under the broad cosmological framework later recorded in the archives of the Elders. It was not an age of rebellion, but an age of permission.

Lucifer, still unfallen at this point, proposed a daring concept: that angels be allowed to participate in biological creation rather than limiting their functions to governance, design, and maintenance. He argued that granting angels creative autonomy would deepen their understanding of Ahavah’s craftsmanship and allow them to explore the complexity of life itself.

The 24 Elders evaluated the request.

They did not view creation as something fragile. They viewed it as resilient. With strict parameters and observation, they authorized a limited experiment.

Thus, angels were allowed to design animals on selected planets within Olam-Chuphshah.

These creatures varied wildly in form. Some resembled future terrestrial animals. Others bore shapes unfamiliar to any later age. Some were peaceful grazers. Others were aggressive hunters. All were genetically engineered by angelic intelligence.

But a problem soon emerged.

The Problem of Carnivorous Design

Many angels, driven by curiosity, designed predatory creatures. Some saw hunting as an expression of strength. Others viewed it as a natural balance mechanism. However, unlike Ahavah’s creations—whose ecosystems were perfectly self-sustaining—angelic ecosystems lacked long-term foresight.

Predators required flesh.

If allowed to hunt freely, entire populations of other creatures would eventually collapse. Extinction would follow. The experiment would self-destruct.

Angels faced a dilemma.

They had created carnivores.
They had not created sustainable food chains.

This was not cruelty—it was inexperience.

Angels understood energy, light, and structure. They were still learning organic balance.
It was during this crisis that the concept of Flesh Trees emerged.

What Are Flesh Trees?

Flesh Trees were living organisms engineered to resemble plant life in structure but animal tissue in composition.

They were rooted like trees.
They grew like trees.
They branched like trees.

Yet their internal substance mimicked the properties of animal flesh.

These trees produced dense, fibrous growths that resembled muscle tissue. Their bark functioned as skin. Their internal layers carried proteins, fats, and nutrients identical to animal meat.

To predators, Flesh Trees tasted like prey.
To ecosystems, they behaved like vegetation.

This hybrid biology allowed carnivorous creatures to feed without hunting other animals.

The result was unprecedented:
A world where predators existed without predation.

Living Food Without Death

The existence of Flesh Trees introduced a concept unknown in later ages: non-lethal carnivory.

Creatures consumed flesh.
Yet nothing died.

Flesh Trees regenerated their tissue continuously. When bitten, torn, or consumed, the damaged portions rapidly regrew. No pain was associated with the process. The trees lacked nervous systems. They were living matter, but not conscious beings.

This solved several problems simultaneously:

• Carnivores remained nourished
• Herbivores were not hunted
• Population collapse was avoided
• Violence was minimized

The planets of Olam-Chuphshah during this era became strangely peaceful ecosystems despite containing powerful predators.

This was not paradise.
But it was functional.

Modified DNA: A Biological Anomaly

Flesh Trees were not natural to the planets on which they were planted.

They did not evolve.
They were constructed.

Angels modified biological templates using advanced divine knowledge of matter manipulation. By blending plant-based cellular structures with animal protein synthesis, they produced organisms that defied later biological classification.

Their DNA was stable.
Their reproduction was controlled.

They did not mutate into other species.
They were designed for one purpose: sustenance.

Because their design originated from angelic intellect rather than Ahavah’s direct creative will, Flesh Trees lacked the deeper spiritual signatures present in true divine life-forms. They were biologically alive but spiritually neutral.

This distinction would later become important.

Worship and the Ethics of Creation

Another controversial aspect of the Experimental Age was worship alignment.

The animals created by angels worshipped their creators.

They did not know Ahavah.
They did not perceive the Holy Father.

Their instinctual reverence pointed upward toward angelic beings.
This arrangement was permitted for observation, not endorsement.

The 24 Elders wanted to understand what occurred when created beings were oriented toward intermediaries rather than Source.

Flesh Trees existed inside this same ethical bubble.
They were tools inside an experiment whose boundaries were already pushing moral limits.

No immediate catastrophe occurred.
But subtle distortions began forming.

Some angels grew emotionally attached to their creations.
Others became proud of their ecosystems.
Some began comparing whose creatures were more beautiful, more powerful, or more intelligent.

The seeds of future arrogance were quietly being planted.

Lucifer’s Role in the Flesh Tree Initiative

Lucifer did not personally design Flesh Trees.
However, the entire Experimental Age stemmed from his original proposal.

He championed angelic creative autonomy.
He framed the experiment as enlightenment.
He encouraged angels to explore their potential.

At this stage, his motives were not openly rebellious.

But retrospectively, the 24 Elders would recognize early patterns:

• Desire for independence
• Curiosity untethered from humility
• Fascination with self-generated glory

Flesh Trees became one of many symbols showing what happens when creation is separated from full divine alignment.

The creations worked.
But they lacked spiritual depth.
They existed.

But they did not participate in Ahavah’s design narrative.

The End of the Experimental Age

When the Experimental Age ended, everything changed.

The special permission that allowed angels to author biological life was withdrawn.
Angelic creation of animals ceased.

Not because the creations were evil.
Not because they were corrupt.

But because that chapter of shared authorship had reached its boundary.

The animals created during the Experimental Age were not destroyed.
They returned with their creators to Shamayim.

However, they were restricted to the territorial domains of the angels who made them.
They could not and would never appear at Mizbeach-Halal.

The place of worship remained reserved for Ahavah alone and for beings whose existence originated directly from Him.

Flesh Trees, however, remained behind on the planets where they had been engineered.

Without angels present to continually modify their internal structure, the trees slowly lost their sustaining properties.

Their flesh-like growth diminished.
Their regenerative capacity weakened.

Over time, they withered.
Not through judgment.
Not through violence.

But through dependence on a process that no longer existed.

Flesh Trees were not dismantled.
They simply could not survive outside the system that maintained them.

From that point forward, all new life-bearing creation returned exclusively to Ahavah or the Elders.

Symbolism of Flesh Trees in the 24 Elders Universe

Flesh Trees represent more than biological anomalies.

They symbolize:

Creativity without full sovereignty
Functionality without originating authority
Innovation that solves problems yet depends on borrowed frameworks

They demonstrate that intelligence alone does not equal authorship.

That capability alone does not equal ownership.
That something can work perfectly and still exist outside eternal design.

Flesh Trees were effective.

They sustained life.
They solved a real problem.

Yet they depended entirely on continual angelic intervention.

Within the cosmology of The 24 Elders Universe, Flesh Trees quietly illustrate why certain boundaries exist.

Not as punishment.
Not as limitation.
But as protection.

Because only what originates from Ahavah carries self-sustaining eternity within itself.

Why Flesh Trees Matter to the Larger Narrative

Flesh Trees foreshadow later themes:

The difference between shaping life and authoring life
The danger of creation that requires perpetual external maintenance
The limits of delegated authority

They help explain why the Fall was not a single catastrophic moment.
It was the result of gradual philosophical drift.

Small permissions.
Small expansions.
Small experiments.

All accumulating.

Flesh Trees were not sins.
They were signals.

Early indicators that creation was beginning to stretch beyond its original alignment.

They were never villains.
They were early warnings.

Living Proof of a Forgotten Age

Today, Flesh Trees no longer exist in living ecosystems.
They withered long ago on the planets where they were once planted.

Yet their memory remains preserved in the deep records of Before the Fall.

They are remembered not with condemnation.
But with sober reflection.

They testify that even exalted beings can misunderstand perfection.
They testify that creativity must remain anchored to Source.
They testify that some of the strangest wonders in existence were born not from rebellion.

But from curiosity.

Flesh Trees were living food.
Living solutions.
Living experiments.
Living evidence of a universe still learning its boundaries.

And in their silent extinction, they whisper an ancient truth:
Not everything that works belongs in eternity.
