THE DIVINE SEED WITHIN
Within the heart of every individual lies a divine essence—a seed of grace, love, and infinite potential. This seed is not bestowed upon a select few but is a perennial truth woven into the fabric of existence. However, whether it blossoms into its fullness depends on the conditions of life and our own willingness to nurture it.
Life’s trials and challenges often obscure this seed, buried beneath layers of karma, conditioning, and ancestral burdens. Yet, even in the darkest moments, cracks of light can appear—glimpses of divine truth that call us to honor and tend to this sacred potential. These cracks are an invitation to surrender, forgive, and live with humility.
Growth cannot be forced. The divine seed blooms not through demands or rigid timelines but through gentle care. Our role is to water it with presence, nurture it with love, and surrender to its unfolding. Effort is needed, but so is the grace to let go of control and trust the process.
Impatience often leads to suffering—the belief that we should be further along on the spiritual path. But who decides where we should be? True freedom comes when we release these self-imposed expectations and simply honor the present moment.
Forgiveness is key. The Divine forgives us endlessly; our task is to forgive ourselves when we fall short, when we forget, and when we return to old patterns. This self-forgiveness is not weakness—it is the strength that allows us to keep nurturing the light within.
In the end, the tree grows according to divine will. All we can do is live truthfully, openly, and with unwavering commitment to the seed within. The rest is in the hands of grace.

What is it that pulls us deeper Into the essence Into the dark To know the light It is grace itself The fragrance of the divine Our only true task Is to give ourselves to that pull. ------------------------- May you be still And remain equanimous May you transcend All remnants of neediness And meet others From your innate Inner authority. ------------------------ Eternity is the bowl we swim in Look everywhere with awareness The vast is all there is And us, swimming here, Loving, fighting, struggling, Dancing, weaving patterns That dissolve Back into that vastness. --------------------- Those who can listen from silence Will eventually hear the secrets of the universe. ---------------------- Soften until you become fluid Then flow into everything It's this hardness of heart and mind That creates the idea of separation. ----------------------- Release yourself From the karma Of ancestral burden For surely Family wounds Are handed down and down Generation upon generation Unexamined Until they find someone Who can heal them That someone could be you. ------------------------ It may be more wise To search in our humanity For our spirituality Than to try and escape our humanity In our spirituality. ----------------------- As the ocean Is contained in the tiny drop So is divine intelligence Contained in us It cannot be any other way. ------------------------ Eventually, with enough grace, You become quieter and quieter Until nothing of you remains And in that silent stillness Is all you ever really were And the beauty of your being.
