~~~The Gardener~~~
We're here, not to share so much in words, (which are in themselves, a limited way to attempt to express that which is Infinite), but we're here to share by how we choose to BE. We've often heard the phrase, "Live by Example"...for actions speak louder than words.
In this Age of Awakening, we are being asked to "Walk our Talk"...and to SEE the lessons of opportunity being presented to us on a daily basis. When we make the conscious choice to look all around us, we can see the infinite variety of the expressions of Inner Consciousness making themselves available for us to learn/remember from. Our True Self speaks to us constantly, through our thoughts, other people, Nature, events, ect. It may be as subtle as a whisper in the wind, or as obvious as a storm. There is always an underlying message being given.
Are we willing to see how much sharing is actually taking place in ways we never realized before? Are we willing to SEE the Master Teacher playing the role of the Gardener through those who bring up our issues?
The Gardener tills the soil of our Soul to bring forth seeds that may have been laying dormant to the conscious state. When these seeds are brought forth into the light of the Sun/Son, we have a choice to cultivate and nurture them, or attempt to ignore them. By trying to ignore those precious seeds, (which will now germinate, take root and grow), they continue to grow bigger and stronger with each passing day, until they become so huge that they can no longer be ignored.
How many times have we decided to ignore someone who is playing the role of the Gardener (whether it's done consciously or unconsciously on their part)? What if we choose to see the opportunity for growth they present? If we do make the choice of growth, we can get to a place where we can BLESS that person for being the vessel of our learning experience.
To condemn another by attempting to avoid or discredit them, is an attempt to avoid a valid aspect of ourselves.... whether we are judging the person...or what the person represents. Once we become consciously aware of our Inner journey, we like to believe that we are all kindness and love...does the condemning of another fit into that category? We cannot serve two Masters. This shows us but one part of our individual Battle of Armageddon.
All issues hold flowers and weeds. We only have to see the beauty of those weeds for the true purpose they hold. We must also keep in mind...what may be as a weed to one, may, in Truth, be an herbal healing balm to another.
The Inner Journey of Remembrance requires us to acknowledge ALL aspects of ourselves. Through many years and cycles of lifetimes, we have accumulated a rather large pile of debris through programmed conditioning and preconceived notions. It is now time we sift through that debris, release that which no longer serves a purpose "here and now", to our Inner Journey...and bring order to that which does.
If you question your progress, just look in the closets of your home. Look under the beds, in cabinets, ect. How organized is it? How many items are you holding onto that you will truthfully, never use again? This can be a perfect example of how you're doing with the cleansing, releasing and organizing process. What is currently taking place inside us, reflects in our outer world...and vice versa.
As we sift through all the accumulated "stuff", we can also find hidden or 'lost' teasures that we had forgotten about long ago.
We all play the role of the Gardener to each other...AND to ourselves...as the soil of the "Secret Garden" of the Soul is tilled, cultivated and nurtured into a magical "Garden of Eden".
