GARDEN Speak- 9th May 1991

THE turnip is a most hardy vegetable that can endure conditions other vegetables would shrivel up and die with. If old man turnip could converse with Man he would share the knowledge of sharp, prudent thinking. He could speak, not with cunning, but actuality, of the secrets of the seasons and when best to plant by them for the rest of the wellbeing of the garden. He would not favour the flowers, nor the aromatic herbs, but in plain speak contrast the properties of both trowel and soil, principally and practically, and to the point.

Should the peach ever sing to you, it would be of far-off places and of sunlit dreams; ignoring both weather conditions and grub habitation. The peach should not even know from which tree she fell, for her place is in the etheric realm of inspiration, and she lives in the hope of one day becoming more like unto a bird than a fruit. But at the time of that great springing from the branch, she cannot lift upward. . . and sorrowfully impacts the dirt below, again and again.

A well fed watermelon is a very content chap indeed. Usually quite asleep, but when roused is amiable and ready to please, providing that they might consume and swell in the manner that pleases them also. The watermelon would tell you that he is a mistaken fruit, left out of those realms, held back through his slovenliness.

The bean should explain the importance of social order. He would rather keep to his own kind, however, and is loathe to share any properties of the entire plant as he simply doesn't know of them.

The sugar cane embraces all men and is fulfilled by pleasing man. Sweetly seductive, the sugar cane seeks a marriage that overrides the other plants and would promise, promise, promise, day and night, anything she believes would please you to hear, true or not.

The EGRET'S Teeth- 9th May 1991

THE egret is a bird whose digestive and assimilation processes do not require excess saliva in order to consume its diet. Muscles carry the small portions to the stomach, where the digestion works on whole pieces at any given time. The teeth do not perform the function of chewing, even though tiny teeth are in place in the skull formation.


Within many mammals today there are redundant physical attributes that appear, when questioned, to perform no particular relevant function within the physiological order of requirement. It is assumed therefore, that such physical characteristics relate to former species and imply the evolution thereof. However, as we know, physical attributes do not merely apply to physical function alone, but are in fact reliant on higher cosmic values that perform many valuable tasks in assisting the physical existence.

So one might question, to what valuable purpose does the egret require his teeth. (Perhaps to flash an alluring smile?)

Similarly there are many organs within the constitution of man that are misunderstood. In the instance of dual kidneys there has been the explanation that one serves as back-up, as it were, for the other should there be failure in one. Though this is useful in the unhappy event, one might question why man is not served with six kidneys, given this logic. Also question as to why we are not indeed equipped with two livers, intestinal tracts and so forth. We suggest that the performance and nature of the two are completely different, even though they may work independently from one another.

The animal kingdom can be found reflected within the constitution of Man. Without Man the animal kingdom could not determine its way into physical existence. In order to draw into matter those cosmic forces required for the systems of organized metabolism, one must have a series of corresponding magnetic counterparts to call those particular forces and attributes into. Man himself holds the qualities that enable those cosmic forces to be attracted down into physical substance thereby assisting those kingdoms beneath to be clothed in a similar way. They are dependent on the constitution of Man for this to occur. Should humanity completely withdraw from the planet, so too would the corresponding lifeforms of kingdoms below cease to manifest in like way.

There are beings within the elemental realms awaiting to be called forth within the future evolution of Man's physical existence. Man holds the keys to the earthly doors for such beings if the opportunity is to arise that they too may evolve and progress in this fashion.

Similarly Man owes his expression to certain Gods and their existing evolution, without which those vital cosmic forces could not be called into manifestation.

Happiness- 8th May 1991

WHEN most folk are asked what they should seek to derive from life itself it would be rare to find an answer other than happiness.

So to reflect on this state and the achievement thereof is valid before one can really help any individual and hope to awaken them to higher desires that will in fact assist them in realizing such a goal.

It could be said that when a man has dreams, hopes or aspirations, it should be for the very great, the very highest pinnacle, rather than desiring an outcome that cannot further their existing condition. Certainly in asking - or as some would have it, expecting - happiness, they are in fact asking by measure for something great, and also achievable.

Philosophically the question of eternal happiness, however, today will not be addressed. Personal happiness and true happiness of soul is the subject upon which we shall enter.

There is of course the immediate and the dream/imagining existence. A prisoner held within a solitary cell might expect that a single hearty meal should provide a measure of happiness. Secondly, a glance at the abounding sky would infill his being with happiness; and of course thirdly, certain release from bondage. Although all three conditions would invoke cheer in such a soul, the soul is not truly dependent on any of the three to meet with the goal of being truly happy. In fact the prisoner could be happy at any given moment, locked within the same conditions in which he was unhappy. The despair and grief is symptomatic of the fact that the individual cannot accept the present conditions, and everything within his being is rejecting that which is imposed on it.

From this illustration one can see that the individual himself can determine, to a point, his mastery and perception over the conditions in which he is held. By the act of rejecting such conditions he is causing a measure of discomfort. For it is not the conditions themselves who have master over his consciousness, but his wrestling with the desire to change such conditions in order to achieve the expected happiness.

Also we might add that change in itself does not necessarily bring with it the desired fulfillment. If the only expectation from any change is that of happiness, rather than indwelling in the experience of the new, then there is little point given that the happiness sought can be experienced at any point, in reality anytime, anyhow.

Physically when a man relaxes there is a calmness of muscles. When smiling the facial muscles have relaxed into that attitude. When the consciousness is relaxed in the world in which it operates, there is the experience of happiness and wellbeing which flows from the head down to the toes. 

To be active and motivated there must be control over the state of tension and relaxation. Tension from one muscle to another brings action and reaction, and without tensing and flexing (and exercising), the will could not drive the body into outer activity - there should be of course, paralysis.

However, total tension, working one muscle against another with no rhythm - extraordinary tightness - causes also such paralysis, as the muscles thereby would be frozen, locked as it were, against each other. And so relaxation is essential, that for one muscle to work, another must necessarily give over and relax. For the vitality to flow throughout the entire system this active and passive communication must persist in regulated episodes throughout physical existence.

From this one might suggest that happiness can at anytime be achieved, and is best, even in small quantities, to be realized before one anticipates changing oneself or the conditions surrounding oneself.

Sister Cities & Incarnation- 6th May 1991

THE concept of sister-cities is quite a reality, though not necessarily as proclaimed by modern thinkers. However there is such a relationship between certain geographical continents and their divisions, with the peregrination of souls on a large basis going from one incarnation to the next. Therefore a very real affinity is placed between these two regions, and the peoples of the past and of the present; also conversely, those working within the present who are looking toward their future destination.

At differing points of the Globe there are different qualities issuing forth which can offer any given race of men certain influences that work upon their entire beings. So it is necessary for souls to partake in the manifold influences, rather than congregate in one particular center, time and time again.

Conflicts which dispute sovereignty and attempts at altering the social order of particular regions are often motivated by either a past consciousness of this order or a future push for preparation. Although interference is neither beneficial nor legal in current affairs, it is however motivated for these reasons.

Whole communities within a single lifetime can experience an incarnation that during a period, marked strongly an impression upon them. And out from that group of individuals has grown a very tangible yearning to return to that former set of conditions that impressed them so. The ghosts of such desires can haunt the bloodline of succeeding generations to come, without their conscious knowledge. For the sake of future experience and expression, these bonds with the past, which are but veritable fetters, must be denied the desire to further their hold on such communities.

Even in an apparently inconsequential lifetime the forces that insteeped a given people may have sweet reminiscences for the souls that took their part within that given period. However if this was not unbalanced within the individual's ego-substance, it should not present such strong arguments for continuance. 

 All folk can be affected by such tendencies. Here is one clear reason why recollection of past incarnations is suspended and denied to those individuals who cannot shear away from such ties and bonds of the past - altogether painful and unproductive in the process of moving on to greater and larger experiences. The ego is developed to the point where it can move about the world gathering new influences and gleaning from all cultures that which it needs to fulfill its learning requirements.

If this were not so there would surely be only twelve tribes of man, which would identify and cling to their zodiacal sign, denoting what should have been incorporated into the whole man: twelve offered in the make-up of the whole.
