TTA,
Your questions were...
1. What does the Tree of Life have to do with Time Travel ?
2. What/How does the Tree of Life apply to ones life ?
I think the second one is structured differently than your original question, however, I believe it will cover your inquiry.
..................................................................................................
I am going to respond to the 2nd question first with a comment made by a "Magician" named Suba. Suba has been involved in what is known as "High Magick" for quite awhile and is very adept with his particular discipline.
I think that his description of his view of the Tree of Life is what I believe as well, and as good a description as I could utilize for our discussion

The purpose of the individual ...
" It is only the simple things, such as moving to perfection, refining myself through contact with my higher self, becoming aware of the beautiful things, coming to know who I am at each moment, controlling my life, keeping from being consumed by this vampire society, and regaining many gifts bestowed upon humanity that have been lost ".
Overall purpose of the individual...
" They say divinity lies within us, and it only takes a second to realize it, and be enlightened; I say, the divine "seed" is within us, and that divinity is "potentially" within us, if we are able to purify ourselves, and come to "earn" it by rending the "veils" that are exist before us. For this is the truth, even before we can think about enlightenment.
By building our "foundation" , by purifying ourselves of our lower animalistic natures, and by growing the seeds of truth planted within us, we then come to realize the temple within ourselves, while transending each plane ( of exisitence ) until we reach our "home" ".
"The Tree...
It is hard to describe something, that is indescribable. Any work is considered the beginning "ascension" within the Tree of Life. The Tree in its basic formation, is an empty coloring picture, awaiting for the individual to color it with their life.
Each place within and upon the Tree, represents levels, energies, intelligences, situations, colors, sounds, images, thoughts, forces, places, experiences, etc...
It is "the beginning" in learning "who" we are, finding those "cycles" we have created, and learning how to overcome them. Malkuth is the first of the Ten Formations" , or "vortexes" upon the Tree.
The Tree is a Grand Configuration of all paths of the individuals of humanity. It works from a physical perspective, to an emotional, mathematical, energetic, light, force, expansion, contraction, creative, destructive, and infinitely many other different forms of perspectives. "

The above was quoted from writings of Suba. In thinking about your questions, his writings or thoughts apply the best to the 2nd question. Now, I did put some words within quotation marks...I did this for a reason.
1. Seed
2. Potential
3. Earn
4. Veils
5. Foundation
6. Home
7. Beginning
8. Who { we are }
9. Cycles
10. Vortexes
I think you would be able to recognize a pattern in these key words. We have within us a seed, the potential of that seed is unrealized; will it become an oak ? or will it become a weed ?
Any progress we make upon the Tree is earned. It takes alot of work and study to move within the Tree, many mistakes are made along the way, sometimes painful, but this is a cross we must bear on our journey within the Tree.
There are veils that we create within us that prevent us from seeing the truth about our life. We hide emotions, thoughts and energies behind these veils.
So we construct a foundation to build a path of ascension to realization or understanding ourselves, beyond these viels, and provide ourselves the opportunity to cultivate the seed.
As we do this we enter onto a path of "returning" to that One place from whence we originate, the 1 ( One ), the place from which all begins.
We all need a place to begin, to start and construct our foundation.
As we move or build upon the foundation, we will begin to recognize cycles, cycles of habits, cycles of life, and the cycles of all creation.
The vortexes also become clearer. Even though the Tree is symbolized as ten seperate spheres and with paths between them, it all exists in one place, a sphere within a sphere, cycle within a cycle...
and this is where it becomes difficult to describe the nature of the Tree in depth. It goes very deep indeed, my friend.
The paradox's begin...

Time is short today, so this is what I can post at the moment. Feel free to ask any further questions, as in most cases, answers bring about more questions.
Later, I will post the origins of Kaballah as claimed by a man named S.L. MacGregor Mathers.

My signature line is an accurate description of the purpose of studying the Kaballah and the Tree of Life.
