A farmer went out to his field
to sow seed.
As he scattered the hemp seed on the earth, some of
it fell on a footpath and was
trampled.
Other hemp seed fell on shallow soil with rock beneath.
Birds came and ate many seeds as they
lay exposed.
A few hemp seed began to grow, but
soon withered and died for lack
of moisture.
Other hemp seed
landed in a lavender patch
and the young seedlings were soon choked out.
Still other
fell on fertile soil; this
seed grew and produced a crop one
hundred times as large as had been planted.
If anyone has ears that hear, use them
now!
The Hemp
Seed is Word of God shared with men.
The hard path where some
hemp seed fell represents the hard hearts as
spiritual corruption
steals away the Word.
The stony earth
represents those who listen to sermons, but somehow the
Word never really
takes root and grows.
They know that the Word of God
is true and believe but when the hot winds of
persecution blow they lose interest.
The seed among thorns
represents those who see but whose faith is choked out by
materialistic
pragmatism.
They are incapable of helping anyone hear the
Word.
The fertile
soil represents honest, good hearted people.
They become the Word of
God, steadily spreading that Word to others who also
soon begin to see and
hear.
The fields are always wet with rain
After a summer shower
Then I saw you standin'
Standin' in The Garden
Wet
with Rain
You wiped
the teardrops from your eye in sorrow
We watched the petals fall
down to the ground
And as I sat beside you I felt a
Great sadness
that day
In The Garden
And then one day you came back
home
You were a creature all in rapture
You had the
Key to your Soul
That day
you came back
To The Garden
The olden summer breeze was blowin' gainst
your face
The Light of God was shinin' on
your countenance
And you were a violet colour as you
Sat beside
your father and your mother
In The Garden
The summer breeze
was blowin' on your face
Within your violet you treasure your summery
words
And as the shiver from my neck
down to my spine
Ignited me in daylight in
The Garden
And you went into a
trance
Your
childlike vision became so fine
And
we heard the bells within the
church
We loved so much
in
the presence of the youth of eternal
summers
In The Garden
And as
it touched your cheeks so
lightly
Born
again you were and blushed
And we
touched each other lightly as
we felt the presence of the
Christ within our Hearts
In The Garden
And I turned to
you and I said
No guru,
no method,
no teacher
Just
you and I and Nature
And
the Father in The
Garden
Listen
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I in nature with
the Father and
the Son and
the Holy Spirit
In The Garden
Wet with rain
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just
you and I in Nature
with
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
In that Garden,
The Garden, wet with rain
Yeah. Alright.
No guru,
no method,
no teacher
Just
you and
I and
Nature and
the Father
In The
Garden
Van Morrison
"With
one mind, we
honor the Food Plants we harvest.
Since the beginning of time, the grains, vegetables, beans, and berries
have helped people survive.
Many other living things draw strength from
them, too.
We gather all the Food Plants together as one and send them
a greeting of thanks." - Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address
Garden is defined as:
a paradise
rich, well-cultivated
land
"Once upon a time, when the science
and art of gardening was not yet well established among men, there was a
Master Gardener.
In addition to knowing all the qualities of plants - nutritious,
medicinal and aesthetic - he had been granted a knowledge of the
Herb of Longevity.
He
visited gardens and cultivated places throughout the World.
He planted
a wonderful garden, and instructed disciples in sustaining it.
Accustomed to seeing some of the plants come up and flower every year,
the people soon forgot to collect seeds, propagate from cuttings, and so on.
The result was that the garden eventually became wild, and people
started to regard this as the best garden there could be.
After giving
people many chances to learn, the Master Gardener expelled them and
recruited another whole new
group of disciples.
He warned if they did not keep the garden in
order they would suffer.
They, in turn, forgot - and, since they were
lazy, tended only those fruits and flowers which were easily reared and
allowed the others to
die.
The Master Gardener made
gardens wherever he could, but none was ever perfect as the one he himself
tended with his chief assistants.
It became known there were many
gardens and many methods of gardening.
People from one garden would
visit those of another to discover.
Books were written,
assemblies of gardeners
were held.
Men are easily attracted by the superficial.
They
say: 'I like this flower,' and they want everyone else to like it as well.
In spite of its attraction or
abundance it might be
an invasive species crowding out others providing medicines or food for
sustenance.
Among these gardeners are those who prefer plants of one
single color.
When the ancient gardener passed beyond he left an
endowment of whole knowledge of gardening
distributed across the entire
face of the planet.
So the
Science and
Art of gardening remains a scattered
heritage.
People brought
up in one garden have been powerfully instructed to the benefits or
disadvantages of how the inhabitants are supposed to see things.
They are incapable of recognition
of the need to return to The
Garden.
From
time to time true gardeners do arise.
Such is
the abundance of fake
gardens that when they hear of real ones people say: 'You are talking of the garden we
imagine we already have.'
What they have and what they imagine is
possible are both
inadequate.
The Real Experts, who cannot reason
with the fake gardeners, hang out together
spreading useful specimens in private to maintain vitality.
They are
often forced to masquerade, as
gardening is an artful science.
"We
live off of what comes out of the soil, not what's in the bank. If we squander
the ecological capital of the soil, the capital on paper won't much matter.
For the past 60 years, we
have followed industrialized agricultural policies that have increased the rate
of destruction of productive farmland.
For those 60 years, we let
ourselves believe the absurd
notion that as long as we have money we will have food.
If
we continue offending the land by
which we are fed, the food
supply will decline, and we will have a problem far more complex than
the failure of our paper
economy.
If monoculture is unsustainable, there is no
food supply.
When we face
the fact that civilizations
have destroyed themselves by destroying their farmland, it's clear that we
don't really have a choice." - Wes Jackson

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
