THE GARDENER THAT WE ARE

THE GARDENER THAT WE ARE 

 Everything that we desire must be planted as a SEED. WE are the gardeners. For ANYTHING to grow it must be planted, watered, and cared for. How can we expect fruit from a tree that wasn't first planted as a seed? Our thoughts ... are also seeds. Our actions (fruit) are the manifestation of our thoughts. Be sure to plant them in fertile ground. What we think, we become.

Universally, these seeds, will bring forth more of their kind. Like begets like. You must plant seeds of LOVE, PEACE, JOY, and ONENESS. All of us as the HUMAN RACE must have UNITY … not any other man-made racial, political, and religious system that brings about SEPARATION, or LABELS. There is but one point of origin (Source), for all things and all peoples. We are ONE … not MANY.

Instead of placing blame for your own thoughts and actions on god or devil, it is best to  accept your own decisions and responsibilities and know that the power to change is within ... not without. Your experiences are the direct result of your thoughts and actions, as well as the combined thoughts and actions of the human race. Good or un-good. And you learn lessons from each and every experience. 

Every one of these experiences is your teacher. Every person is your teacher. Every angel (messenger) that has ever crossed your path is your teacher. When you were in school, you were taught lessons, and given tests. Here, in Earth School, you are given tests, and taught lessons. These lessons (seeds of knowledge) are implanted in the garden of your Mind. Even biblical scripture record Jesus being mistaken as being a Gardener. Mary Magdalene was confused when, “weeping outside the tomb,” she turned, saw Jesus and thought he was the gardener. 

"... she turned around and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not recognize that it was Jesus. “Woman, why are you weeping?” Jesus asked her. “Who are you looking for?” She thought he was the gardener."

~John 20:14-15

There is much to discover deeper in the Biblical stories that reference gardens, and a gardener ... even from the very beginning. The very act of original creation, as presented in the Bible Genesis story, begins in a garden. 

"And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed."

~Genesis 2:8 

Traveling from the Old Testament, to the New, the Garden of Gethsemane was a place that Jesus and his disciples customarily visited. Its name derives from the Aramaic word "gat semãnê," which means ​"olive press" and dates to ancient times. There were many olive trees in the Garden. The Olive tree is one of the most beloved, sacred trees and its place is firmly rooted in Ancient Greek tradition and mythology. Traditionally, the Olive tree is a symbol of peace and friendship. 

Things are rarely as they seem. There are always deeper meanings contained beneath and beyond the surface stories. Please take the time to search for the Truth in all things. If the world were living based on Truth rather than eons of deception and illusion, we would have no wars, no famine, no dirty water, better health, and no crime.

I can only speak from my own experiences, and have personally been diligent and relentless in seeking Truth and Wisdom for many years ... sometimes at a rate of several hours per day. My eyes have been opened to so many things. I am experiencing freedom now, in a way that I have never know before. Health, politics, religion, education ... please explore your own options.

Whatever thoughts you plant into your CONSCIOUS Mind, and thus impregnate your SUBCONSCIOUS Mind with ... you'll bring forth the offspring of that thought. The longer you affirm these thoughts, you will experience the feelings, emotions, and actions of those thoughts. This goes for positive, and negative thoughts. The better informed and educated we are, the less likely we will be to buy into the illusion. Read, study, question, and grow. Divide and conquer? NO. Unify, and live Life as it was meant to be. Free ... for all people ... everywhere.

WISHING WELL

WISHING WELL

This chapter is dedicated to my friend and Mentor, Curtis Paul. Curtis transitioned home on July 23rd, 2019 at only 56 years of age. But his Wisdom, was well beyond his years. 

How many times have you tossed a coin into a Wishing Well or a fountain and cast your wishes to the unseen powers? We all have desires we wish to come true. We even make a wish when blowing our the candles on our Birthday Cake. But what is it that we wish for? It's usually something of great importance. Something that bypasses our ego and comes from the Spirit/heart. Love, health, happiness, peace ... All part of the hearts desire, and the desire of the Divine within.

Rarely is someone going to wish for a new lawn mower, custom paint for the Harley, rims for the car, or even a big-screen TV for the family room. It is always something of great personal VALUE that goes beyond material things. Notice how we toss in a coin (something of value) in exchange for something else of value? We are willing to trade MONEY, for SPIRIT-FILLED wishes. My friend Curtis Paul added while we were discussing this ... never do we use a slug, or counterfeit coin ... It MUST be real, in order to exchange it for something REAL.

Note also that once we make the wish, and toss the coin, we are finished. "IT IS FINISHED." We turn it over to the unseen powers of the Universe, and we detach ... Releasing it forever out of our hands. We simply KNOW that there is a force within and without ALL things that will bring forth thoughts, words, and deeds. We do not return to the Well to check on progress or wish again, we just detach and let be what will be. We don't worry about it, obsess about it, or become anxious about it. How awesome it would be if we were to do this with EVERYTHING. 

We are co-creators of this Universe. Every thought, word, and action originates in Mind. Yours, mine, and everyone else's. Before ANYTHING can manifest, or become material/matter, it first begins with thought energy. Then, spoken word ... Desire and affirmation, THEN, when enough thought and word energy comes together it will congeal. It will begin to form matter as we know it. Matter is energy manifest in form. "In the beginning, the Earth (matter) was formless (unseen-Spirit) and void (unlimited potentiality)." All that ever was, and ever will be is already here and NOW. The time is always NOW. Past, present, and future exist in the here and NOW. Once you understand this principle, you can use the power of the unseen for great things.

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."

~Ecclesiastes 1:9

Now back to the Wishing Well for a moment. Notice how we don't go back(wards) to the fountain and "take-back" our coin, or our wish? Except for Mouth (Goonies) ... We leave it there and let it bring forth what it may. Notice also how INTENSE we were at the time of the wish? We close our eyes, we concentrate, we center, we come to NOW, we take our time ... Really affirm what it is that is our hearts desire ... And then ... When the time is right - we toss it to the waters of Life and walk away in knowingness that there really is nothing else to do. We have turned it over to that which brings breath, Life, and consciousness to all the living. 

Learn from this inherent system of desire. Do not say "I want" For this will only bring forth more WANT. Say: "I choose to manifest _." Use the great "I AM" whenever possible. Keep your tense in the present. Keep your focus in the here and now. FEEL the feeling as if it has already happened. Keep your heart in charge ... Bypassing the ego and carnal mind. The Power within you KNOWS what is best for you and for all living things. Trust it. Listen to hear that still small voice that will guide you through all of your experiences. Remain thankful and grateful for ALL things ... Good and un-good. For even in The darkness, light and Love will finds its way. Be mindful and thoughtful as you create. Tend your garden of Mind as a Gardener would tend the fields. 

In John 20, Mary believes Jesus to be a Gardener. She then recognized him and called him "Teacher." Plant the seed now as a Gardener would, and KNOW there will be a harvest ... When nature is ready. There is no need go into the field and dig it up to see if it is growing. Just KNOW that it is. Be sure the seeds you plant will be beneficial to all, and harm no-one. 

In closing, may you have all that you wish. This is the Law of the Youniverse. Namaste.

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS

When It Rains It Pours

You've heard the phrase "into each life some rain must fall," and "when it rains it pours," but we have always used them with negative implications. Why is that? Rain brings life. It waters the plants and trees which it turn grow and provide us with oxygen and food for sustenance. Of course there are extremes that cause damage to life and property, but this is the cycle of nature in order to progress and evolve. 

We also know that AFTER the storms, comes peace and tranquility. Sunshine and pleasant conditions. This is how everything in the universe operates, including us. There are always ups and downs ... like a roller coaster. Frequency waves, ocean waves, radio waves, all is energy and all is in flux. Changing and evolving. Day and night, hot and cold, good and bad. But there are no markers along the path of polarity. There isn't a place where good changes to bad and vise versa. They are equal polarities of one principle. 

So it is with our emotions, our health, our spirituality, our mental state. Up and down, rain and sun. We have to find that place of balance between the sunshine and the storms. That place where it's just lightly drizzling. We can handle the drizzle much better than extreme storms and extreme sunshine. The Rain Forest is a prime example of the perfect balance of nature. My wife and I visited Portland, Oregon years ago and it drizzled every day. Sometimes the sun would be shining with a light misty shower. Much easier and comfortable than blazing heat at the beach and freezing cold in the Poles. Same thing with wet and dry. We need both. 

In the Bible story of the Apostles being on a boat with Jesus asleep down below ... the storms are raging. The winds are extreme. The Apostles go down below inside the boat to wake up Jesus so that he can calm the storms outside. In the Inner Mysteries of scripture, the boats, and arks, and ships are us ... our vessels. This is a myth with a deeper message. During the times in our lives that the storms and tempests are raging, we are supposed to go within ... inside our boat ... inside ourselves and awaken the Christ. When we awaken the Christ consciousness within, we get guidance as to how to handle the storms and find a place of safety. The "eye of the storm" is always calm. We are to learn to stay in the eye calm and protected while the storms are raging around us wreaking havoc. This is the deeper meaning. 

So when the rain begins to fall in your life, when the light of the Sun of God/Source Energy hides behind the clouds, awaken the Christ within. Ask for Divine guidance and KNOW that better weather is coming. It must. It is Universal Law. When times are good, and the weather is wonderful, don't waste these good times worrying about the next storm. Don't spend the chill going UP the roller coaster, being scared about the thrill coming down the next drop. 

Your mind is a garden. You must plant the right seeds, remove the weeds, and water and care for your thoughts. The thoughts will bring forth a harvest. Mind your mind ... watch your garden and care for what you are growing. You also need to water your seeds. Here is the rain of life. We need rain to grow our crops. Thoughts are energy and they will manifest into form. Keep an umbrella handy, and your sunshades. You're gonna get both, no matter what. Make the best of the rain/pain, and the sun/fun.

BIRTH IN REVERSE - THE CONNECTION OF ALL

BIRTH IN REVERSE THE CONNECTION OF ALL

Planting Seeds

In order for something to have a physical existence, there must have been a first seed. Naturally, the seed contains all the contents and essence of that which will manifest. For example, an apple seed contains not only the next tree, but an entire orchard. In order for the seed to bring forth Life, it must first be buried in the soil/Earth/Matter. Think about that for a moment. Before a seed can be born into Life, it must first be buried. 

Just as our spiritual Self has been buried here in this world, it comes forth into physical existence. Everything in this Universe has always been here and never leaves. Energy becomes matter, then becomes energy, etc. When you light a match, the interaction brings forth a flame into matter from the realm of the unseen. After the flame burns out, the energy returns back into the unseen realm of energy. On/off. 

ALL seeds of ALL things from this present moment back in time to the very point of origin are all of ONE source ... one substance. You are me, and I am you, and we are everyone else. Do not fall for the illusion that we are separate beings in a separate world. From one seed, comes the many. 

We say: "in the Universe," "in the world,” etc. This is because we are IN this and part of it and are whole with it. We are not outside of its existence in any way. The universe is one giant living organism and you and are the microcosm of the macrocosm. What we do to someone or something else, we do to ourselves. The golden rule gives us some insight into this ... "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

The same goes for our thought seeds. All that we desire must be planted as a SEED. WE are the gardeners. For ANYTHING to grow it must be planted. How can we expect fruit from a tree that wasn't first planted as a seed? Our thoughts are seeds. Our actions are the manifestation of our thoughts. What we think we become. consider the Truths contained within these scriptures so long ago:

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he".

~Proverbs 23:7

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind …”~Romans 12:2

“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.”

~Philippians 4:8

“As you have believed, so will it be done unto you.”

~Matthew 8:13

Worldwide, the “seeds” that we plant, will bring forth more of their kind. Like begets like. I ask all people everywhere to plants seeds of LOVE, PEACE, JOY, and ONENESS. This is the HUMAN RACE that must have UNITY … not any other man-made racial, political, and religious system that brings about SEPARATION and division. There is but one point of origin for all things and all peoples. We are ONE … not MANY.
