The depiction above relays the ancient symbols pointing to the higher and lower being of evolution of consciousness. This has always been the meaning of the symbols of the stone and the tree.
The Tree of Life represents the ascension/climb of the lower to the higher.
The clinging to the stone represents man's natural tendency to cling to the flesh/lower form.
Also in the depriction you will see other ancient symbols such as the Sacred Eye, the djed pillar, and the serpent head donned with the Fire of The Spirit.
And note how the human forms are shedding their natural element of water revealing their temporary state of flux and physical connection. One in that temporary state seeks to ascend the Tree of Life, the other continues to cling to its lower self identity. Both experience the slow deterioration of their physical form.
