The Story of the Seed
There are times when a human will plant a seed in the ground, knowing that the seed will not sprout immediately, but it will have a blanket wrapped around it in the ground to protect it until the time it is ready to begin germinating.
And the seeds that are placed in the ground have within their consciousness a knowing that not all of the seeds will germinate, but this does not matter to the seeds.
It is simply the intent of the journey. There is no sorrow with the seeds that do not germinate, for they simply return back to the whole. But there are some seeds now planted that have a blanket around them, that have a hope that someday will release that blanket when the time is right and all the elements of the earth are right. Then the blanket is released and they can germinate. Many of these seeds do, and the blankets leave them. There are rumblings within the seed, great rumblings, and it begins to awaken. And then there are discomforts within the seed as it begins to germinate, as it begins to come forth.
And then something magical happens. There is a type of intervention as the seed is awakening, and it is coming out of its own shell and beginning to poke through and beginning to grow its own underground branches. There is a type of intervention that takes place. It is a melding of energy of the consciousness of the seed with the new-to-be consciousness of the entire plant. It is like, if you would imagine, a shaft of energy breaking through the ground, coming down to the seed that is coming into its awakening - a shaft of energy that reminds the seed of the full potential of who it was prior to when the seed only thought it was a seed at the outer level. It is like a lightning bolt perhaps coming down and affecting the seed and saying 'it is now time to come out, it is now time to come and do your true work.'
You thought your true work was perhaps being a seed in the ground but that was not it. This melding and merging of energies, this divine coming together, takes place, and now miraculously the seed begins to sprout. And it takes in energies of the earth, the water, the ground, the nutrients, but it is also absorbing great amounts of energy from divine sources. And the seed breaks through the earth, and it now sprouts into a magnificent plant and then feeds others. And as the others feed from the plant, the plant does not die; it continues to sprout new leaves and new fruit. Each one who comes by and tastes of the fruit of this plant of the seed, then carries a degree of that energy and that love and that spirit with them. Therefore, ultimately, sooner or later, all are touched, all begin to carry the attributes of the seed.
