DIE AND LET LIVE

Did you hear the one about the seed that refused to leave the pod? Or the baby who refused to leave the womb? Or the 40-year-old who refused to leave kindergarten?

How many people do you know like that? People who stop growing, then just regurgitate their stuff over and over again for decades? I know habit slaves like that, too. In some ways, I'm one of them also. There are still some things I do over and again, hoping that one day I'll get a different result. Now that's insane.

A seed that denies its purpose, refuses to drop to the ground so that it might transform and grow into something beautiful and fruitful, withers and dies. And dead seed is good only for chook food.

Our human mission, should we choose to accept it, is to die to our seed-iness, and be reborn to fulfill a greater destiny. I don't think I'm the first person to ever say that.
The seed that clings to its seediness denies the possibility that it carries within its being. It says "No" to the opportunities of life. Chook food.

Being human is like being a seed; life's purpose is to transcend its seed-ness, rebirth itself, get on with the business of growing, and explore its potential. 

In an expanding universe, standing schtum is not an option.
 
Bottom line? – If you ain't growing, you're dying.
