OUR
EXPERIENCES FORM OUR THOUGHTS and FEELINGS
and
OUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS FORM OUR EXPERIENCES
We
can look at how plants come into existence and gain an understanding of how our
physical reality comes into existence.
A
plant germinates in the ground, much like an idea germinates in our minds.
A
plant begins with a seed of some sort. Seeds can be in the form of tubers, bulbs
or the ovules of a flowering plant. But regardless of how it looks, it is a propagative
source of a plant.
Things
begin with thoughts. Thoughts can be in the form of conscious choices, daydreams,
intended visualizations, subconscious beliefs, unconscious fears, triggered memories,
etc. They are all propagative sources of the things in our lives.
A
mighty oak tree comes into existance from a single acorn.
A business empire comes into existance from a single idea.
An
oak tree can produce a few thousand acorns in one season, perhaps only one of
those will live long enough to fully develop.
A
person can produce a few thousand thoughts in a month, perhaps only one of those
will live long enough to fully develop.
On
the other hand, an obsure acorn may fall onto fertile ground and go undected until
it produces a strong root, becomes firmly planted, and rather difficult to uproot.
An
obsure thought may fall onto fertile ground and go undected until it produces
a strong root, becomes firmly implanted, and rather difficult to uproot.
Intentionally
propagating an acorn is much more difficult than nuturing one that has seeded
on its own.
Intentionally
propagating a thought is much more difficult than nuturing one that has seeded

Many
things can interfere with the success of the development of an oak tree. Even though the tree takes root, it's success is not guaranteed. We can help insure
its success by naking sure it recieves adequate water, supportive nutrients and
protect it rom possibly harmful pests.
Many things can
interfere with the success of the development of a thing. Once
the thought takes root, it must recieve adequate attention, good intentions, supportive
knowledge and be protected from possibly harmful pests.
When having a piece of fruit,
we might e're very aware that our fruit came from a tree yet not think, in that
same moment that it was a fruit that produced the tree.
We
are likely to give more thought our experiences created our feelings, thoughts
and opinions
We're
very aware that our fruit came from a tree yet not think, in that same moment
that it was a fruit that produced the tree.
Many
will rot on the ground, many will be collected by various animals and may rot
or mold before they ever use them. some will take root yet be destroyed before
achieving a full stage of development.
