It all started with just a tiny seed. The seed by itself was just
that, by itself. But if the seed would allow itself to be placed into the
ground of a woman, mother earth, it could and would bring forth a tree
of its own kind. This tree, if planted in good ground and cultivated
properly, would bear many other seed of its own nature. In turn, these
seeds being buried in good soul (oops, soil) would bear many more trees
with many more seeds of the same kind. Although these trees were of the
same nature, each one would be of different character and personality.
Even the appearance of each would be distinct, but the similar essence of
the original was evident.
Editors Note-
in the next major writing concerning seeing the Kingdom inside, well be
bringing into view the City of God. In
my Fathers house (you) are many mansions involves the same principle as
the tree and the seed. See? If not, you will. Be patient with
yourself. Even a glimpse of something should encourage you for the
more you hear the more you see.
It sound so incredibly easy & it actually is except for one major detail,
which is necessary to cause this extravaganza. That one detail is that the
seed itself, being buried in the ground, would have to die!
CHOICES
Lets say hypothetically that the original Seed could think. It would
have to realize that in order to reproduce itself and become fruitful it
would, it must
die. So there is a choice to be made by this one; and the
choice must be made within a span of time.
Reason &Logic
Lets say that this seed
has reason & logic like human beings. Come on! Humor me. Lets just say!
Were free!!
Lets say also that reason & logic know that if the seed dies, then they
would also die with it.
I must mention, though you may already know, that reason and logic are
very selfish, concerned only with themselves. They dont care if theyre
reproduced, and they are unconcerned with promises of the same. They want
to exist now, and thats it. They wont change. They will remain reason
and logic. Besides, whats all this talk about getting buried & dying
when we have all of this life right here to live; with its explanations,
actions, reactions, causes & effects, worldly knowledge, etc. Yet these
devices of reason and logic are always changing, to accommodate
circumstances. We must come to the conclusion that since everything on the
outside is in a constant flux of change, reason and logic will never have
stability or be able to give someone a firm foundation on which to stand.
Does this seem reasonable and logical (chuckle)?
That reason and logic are the priorities, is the thinking transferred to
the mind of the Seed, who by the way has its own will. Oh boy! Am I
getting too complicated or far out, or dark & deep? Well, gold, silver,
and precious gems are sought for and found in deep, dark places in the
earth (you-made from the earth). If you never search for these treasures,
or if you search half-heartedly, the ultimate that you can have or be is
little, or nothing. Treasure must be searched for, in order to find it.
It must be dug for. Dig? It is not normally found on the surface of the
ground. And the more light that you can acquire, the easier it will be
to find the treasure, the treasure that is hidden in the field (you are
that field).
Getting back to reason and logic, they cannot properly explain the
process of a tiny seed being able to become multitudes of trees bearing
seed like itself. It just doesnt make sense. They will try to come up
with a logical explanation, which will always fall short. Its like trying
to explain how a babys bones are formed in its mothers womb?
Heres the crux of the matter. Any living seed that voluntarily allows
itself to be placed into good soul (oops, I mean soil), or a womb, or a
grave, will reproduce itself and bear fruit. Otherwise it will remain by
itself, alone.
Being a seed and knowing this,
the only alternative would be to surrender its own life, that it
might produce others of its own kind. This way it would continue on, even
be eternal, like a song! Wouldnt you think that this is the only
option?
Of course (off course) as logic intervenes, we are then fed reason and
doubts. What if it doesnt reproduce? What if it remains by itself
anyway? How can I be sure?
The only sure thing that you can know at this point is that if it is not
planted, and within time, it will perish and remain by itself.
Human Seed
Lest I
belabor a point, lets shift gears a bit, transfer the wide scope of
seed, and lets narrow it down to human seed.
Okay, lets take me for
an example. Im 42 years old (Im lying and thats the truth). So lets
say 42 years ago and more, I was planted into my mother, an earthen body
(lets hope so), or vessel where I was formed. I entered her as a seed,
a natural human seed. Before this I was dwelling in the loins of my dad,
another human being. Of course!
There were others in his loins also, my three brothers and four sisters.
Use yourself in this example and you will see it more
clearly. All eight of us were seed that were planted and nurtured in
moms womb, or door that led us out onto this Mother of the plant
kingdom. So we went from the generative loins of one earthen body (dad)
directly into the womb or door of another earthen vessel (mom), where the
seed was developed. As a baby or sprout of this human species, we then
returned out the door we came in and were deposited onto mother earth.
She is called mother because she is a receiver of the seed also. From
here we were to grow, develop, and reproduce after our kind or so the
story goes. Although you may not have thought of it in this context, does
this sound basic enough?
Having knowledge of this cycle & its repetitiveness, we realize that the
moment were placed onto the earth, we are being directed towards going
back to the earth, or grave to be more direct. Not to scare anyone, but I
do like to get to the point at some time. Also, every human
has the fear of death instilled into him or her especially as this destiny
of death is realized, at a close call, or as the day closes in. People
like to try to ignore it. What is the good in turning your eyes and ears
away from the truth of that which is inevitable?
Ive pretty much come to believe that you would not have even entered into
this writing if you were trying to avoid truth. This may sound conceited
but its the way Im thinking. I believe in this content. I wrote it to
stir up your own minds, am not concerned about being popular, and Im glad
youve come this far.
Getting back to dad, my parent (natural life) tree, heres a little of
what we have. Dad held in his loins not only my brothers and sisters but
also all those who come forth from them, the males. You can see that. And
by the way, are you using yourself or another whom you know as a living
example of this? Its really pretty simple, isnt it? Then why dont most
ever ponder these basic truths of life?
Is it
because its not logical? Logic itself being alive in our human natural
thinking brain doesnt want us to think on these things. As we muse over
these simple truths of life and death, we just may decide to do what is
right, denying logic its power and sending it to an early death. Logic,
thinking of its own survival and being denied by spiritual thinking,
would be weakened, and would starve. In turn the spiritual would be
strengthened. Does this sound logical? Chuckle! Logic and reasoning do not
want you dealing with life issues, but either way their end is death. But
you have a choice and the ability to rise above reason and logic unto
incorruptibility and immortality, two concepts that cannot be comprehended
by the lower senses, even being foolish to them. Yes we can leave the
forces of the cent-ses and prosper 100-fold unto dollars, $piritually
$peaking.
The ultimate goal of the lower senses of logic and reason is the using of
the earthen vessel (body) to expiration, and from thence who knows? They
also say, Who cares? Well I do! How about you? Sounds like something out
of Star Trek, but this is the real deal!
Concerning knowing, Im just a simple man possessing treasures of which I
do know are valuable. These are stored in the field that I bought with
everything I have and am. I got quite a bargain. Look at Matthew 13:44.
We also see that the entire product produced by dad, eight of which became
life in the womb (soil) of mom, were also in his dads loins. Dads
brothers and sisters were also there; and all who come from those males,
etc. We could go on but we dont want to get worn, or wear it out.
By the way, if you have the mental stamina or desire, you can keep on
going back until you reach the original parents. Believe me, theyre not
the Monkeys! I myself have not traced too far back, for too much of this
will fry your brain. Its just to get an idea of the roots of the natural
man in order to understand the spiritual better.
We narrowed the immense topic of seed down to one type, human. The
highest level of achievement with natural seed appears to be logic and
reason, the smartest person thinking him or her self to be the greatest.
Yet the natural human species remains one heartbeat from the final
curtain. The brightest thinking person has no power over this closing of
time, when it will happen, or what happens after.
Logic and reason say, If I see it, then its real. This type of
thinking always ends in death to the thinker and the body that carries him
through this temporary plane. Logic and reason are highly exalted by
mankind while they continually lead us on their own path with man thinking
that hes on his own course. While they tell us were okay, these
self-seeking inhabitants of the temporary steer us away from the eternal,
inhibiting true purpose. To logic and reasoning eternal thinking is crazy.
They would like you to just accept their theories and facts while these
facts are ever changing. This is all there is they say. What you see is
what you get. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Facts change but
truth doesnt.
Their type of thinking will also keep one from thinking of the inevitable
end of these bodies of death. To speak of death may put you on a
higher plane and into the subject of Life. Youve got to stay focused on
all thats going on around you, the temporary. Hmm!
I would hope by now that your mind is picked and stirred into a fresh
style of thinking. For me logic and reasoning have no reward that lasts.
And if something doesnt last than what good is it. Hello!! There must be
more. What I see with these eyes I am very grateful for, depending on what
I see, but these eyes are so fragile and limited. They are only compressed
dust. The end of what I see with them has no true value.
The elements that cannot be seen are the ones I desire to see. But since
they are invisible how can they be seen? Heres where we come to another
pattern of thought, FAITH!
