Sprouted Seeds
“...this Infinite is the Infinite Potentiality of all abstract personalness. God is Universal, Life is Universal, but at the point where the consciousness of man contacts It, It becomes personal. We are Its Personality.”
Ernest Holmes
Even though I know and have constant demonstrations proving that I am always carried by the flow of Universal Good, there are moments in my life when the uncertainty in the process of becoming overwhelms me.
I recently bought some sprouted seeds and nuts because they’re higher in protein, nutrients and easier to digest. Examining the offering at the farmer’s market, I couldn’t really tell the difference between a sprouted or regular seed. Germination - the transition phase from seed to new plant, is the process by which anything expands into greater being from a smaller existence. During this period, the metabolic machinery of the seed is reactivated and, using food reserves stored in the protective coat, produce the nutrients needed for the coming burst of growth; yet no taproot or sprout has emerged. The seed appears externally unchanged while internally there is a major activation of latent potentiality going on.
I feel like that sprouted seed. Something has been activated within me. I have great expectations as everything around me signals alignment with my soul’s providence. And yet, the taproot and plumule of this new phase in my evolution have not emerged. My ego-self tries to confine me in limitation whispering: “it’s too hard, you’re just going to fail, don’t bother, stay here nice and cozy, it’ll be just like old times!”
I feel something’s changing so I stay the course with meditation and prayer and I find patience when I see that my evolutionary progress cannot be stopped. I find Perfection, Order, Balance, and Abundance in the rich dark soils of emerging as even the coverings and coping mechanisms that once served and protected, now provide the very fuel needed for the next stage of expansion into a greater existence. I am grateful for the awareness found in sprouted seeds.
Affirmation: Today, I have great expectations! I consciously open myself up to Spirit’s gentle guidance, knowing my soul’s progress is certain and the way has been made.
