The fig tree, a symbol of God's people, represents a return to a life of spiritual awakening and growth. It's about understanding the value of life and the hope for a better future in the land of Israel.
In the narrative of the 7 Modalities Paradigm, this return to spiritual awakening can be seen as a journey towards understanding and harnessing one's prophetic genius. It's a call to not only anticipate future needs, challenges, or opportunities, as the prophetic genius would, but to also do so with a renewed sense of purpose and hope for creating positive change. Therefore, the fig tree, in this context, serves as a powerful motivator for individuals to delve deeper into their modalities, to cultivate their unique strengths, and to bear fruit in the form of proactive, forward-thinking initiatives that anticipate and address the needs of the future.

The phrase "having the eyes of your heart enlightened" (Eph 1:18) reinforces this concept, implying heightened perception and understanding. Essentially, the "FIG" represents someone with great insight and wisdom, seeing the world in a unique and profound way.
The fig is a powerful symbol in the Bible, representing both the physical and spiritual aspects of life. In the Old Testament, it symbolised prosperity and abundance, representing the blessings that God bestowed upon His people. In the New Testament, Jesus used the fig tree as a symbol of judgment, cursing a barren fig tree as a sign of the coming destruction of Jerusalem.
Fig - Land of Israel - genius of the Propheteia. It symbolises the return of God's people back to the garden and empowers the soul to "go and sin no more". It gives hope, explaining why life is worth living and how tomorrow can be better than yesterday.

The Fig, symbolizing the land of Israel, represents a return to a life of spiritual awakening and growth. This is similar to the role of the PRO genius, who brings a unique perspective to the community, providing specific, divinely inspired insights that guide the community's decisions and actions.
The PRO genius, or the 'Prophet,' in the 7modalities paradigm, is a key figure who brings a unique perspective to the community. This individual is endowed with the 'gift of the eye,' which in this context, represents the ability to see beyond the physical realm and into the spiritual. Prophets are not just about foretelling the future in a general sense, but they provide specific, divinely inspired insights that are relevant to their community's context. They have the capacity to 'decode' and 'define' reality from heaven’s point of view, much like how a skilled cryptographer would decipher a complex code. This process of decoding and defining is not just about providing a one-time solution or answer, but it's about offering a continuous stream of insights that guide the community's decisions and actions.
The Church at Ephesus, known for its prophetic insight, serves as a parallel to the Fig's role in symbolizing the land of Israel. Both the Church and the Fig symbolise a return to spiritual origins and a call to prophetic insight. In the case of the Church at Ephesus, this is reflected in its call to return to its first love, a metaphor for a return to the core of its faith and the prophetic insight that comes with it.
The fig wasp and the fig tree provide a fascinating example of mutualism in pollination, and this can be seen as an illustration of the role of the prismatic genius at the Church at Ephesus. The fig wasp, much like the prismatic genius, plays a crucial and unique role in the life cycle of the fig tree. The wasp's life cycle begins when it enters the fig to lay its eggs, and in the process, it pollinates the fig. This act of entering the fig is a one-way trip for the wasp, but it's a necessary sacrifice for the continuation of both the fig and wasp species. Similarly, the prismatic genius, or the 'Prism,' in the 7modalities paradigm, is a key figure who brings a unique perspective to the community.

In the biblical account, Jesus curses a fig tree for its lack of fruit (Matt 21:18-22), despite its outwardly healthy appearance. This action serves as a powerful metaphor for the expectation of fruitfulness in the kingdom of God. It's a call to move beyond superficiality and to cultivate a deep, inward transformation that results in tangible, outward expressions of our faith.
This expectation of fruitfulness can be particularly applied to the 'heart' and 'mind' of believers. In the context of the kingdom of God, 'fruitfulness' is not just about external actions or productivity, but it's also about the transformation of our inner lives - our desires, motivations, and thoughts. The 'heart' in biblical terms often refers to the core of a person's being, including their desires and will. A 'fruitful' heart, therefore, is one that is aligned with God's will and desires, and this alignment is demonstrated through our actions and decisions.
Similarly, the 'mind' in the kingdom context is not just about intellectual assent, but it's about a comprehensive understanding and application of God's truth in all areas of life. A 'fruitful' mind continually grows in the knowledge of God and His kingdom, and this knowledge bears fruit in the form of wise decisions, godly actions, and a transformed worldview. Therefore, the cursing of the fig tree is a stark reminder of the importance of true, deep-seated fruitfulness in the advance of God's kingdom.
