Seed Thoughts

Excellent post on the Mustard seed, John. As I have stated many times, every inspired writing has a number of interpretations. Let me give a new one.

Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Luke 17:6
He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.

What is the similarity between a tree and a mountain?

They are both symbols of the kingdom of God.

What is the meaning of the sea? This stands for the peoples of the earth (Rev 17:15)

What is a seed?

It contains the hidden knowledge of life which is revealed when nourished. This is the life of the soul, the bridge of spirit (life) and matter (death).

This said, let us interpret.

If you believe what you receive from your soul (the mustard seed) you shall see the Kingdom of God (the mountain or the tree) and you shall take the kingdom from its high place and cast it among the multitudes causing the kingdom to permeate the whole.

John writes:
So, please tell me if I am wrong, but I think you are giving us one big clue when you said "contemplate". You are trying to get us to stretch our muscles and reach above the plane where are normally polarized, even if only for a minute or two, and tell the rest of us how their viewpoint has changed vs. their normally polarized viewpoint.

JJ:
Basically, you are right on John. It is important that we stretch ourselves. DK, for instance, is proof that one can intelligently contemplate that which he has not achieved.

As some of you know, he is a fifth degree initiate. Even so, he has given us quite a bit of information on initiations six through nine which he has not yet taken. The Christ himself is working on his seventh. The last two are not even taken on this earth. I am sure DK had to stretch himself to intelligently write about that which he had not yet achieved.

Only about 10% of the population has achieved reasonable mental ability, but I would guess that less than 1% has achieved mental polarization.

In turn, about 1% has achieved some functioning on the intuitional level, but less than one out of a thousand are polarized in that plane.

Most of the group here are aspiring to the plane of intuition wherein lies permanent soul contact and it can only do us good to contemplate our next step.

Soul contact has been compared to the Holy Spirit, but there is a subtle difference. The Holy Spirit is a great cosmic entity which surrounds and permeates all form. This entity has its representative on many levels and manifests through them. Just as there is one who represents the office of Christ, even so there is one on the earth representing the life of the Holy Spirit. DK calls him the Mahachohan. The soul more accurately corresponds to the Christ, or the middle principle - the mediator between God and man. Through the soul one may then contact the Holy Spirit or its representative or its emanations. The soul is the door to all higher contact. And through the soul one may tune into the world of the intuition. The world of the intuition is not the same as the fire of the spirit. It is more aptly described as "the light which gives light, yet burneth not with sentient fire."

Here is an exercise for you.

Emotional, mental and intuitional persons are contemplating the reality of God. What is the difference in their approach to discover?
