Do not need soil to grow...




This was stumbled upon quite accidentally. I had an inkling of an idea for a new photo to place on twitter and came upon this article.

It made me think.

A mango seed does not need soil to grow, yet it grows by being sustained with water... eventually it needs some foundation to keep it upright.

So, we are souls living in this body, but yet we need this body in order to grow? So the soul needs this body to grow...

As a soul do we not ALREADY know? How do we remember what it is that we promised to do when we came here? Is that too a learning experience?

Does the soul not already know the wonderful things? Why is it necessary to experience lives of all kinds? Or is it just the purpose of the soul to experience for the privilege the Creator has given us?

Something to reflect on I believe.

I also enjoyed a few of the lines from this Nordic Link below which gave the inspiration. One of the lines which I feel many of us could relate to is : "Failure is additional knowledge to success." But here is the thing. If we fail, we do not always learn the first time or third time ... it might even take life times to learn from the experiences. So when we are "awake" we are more aware. And able to learn from the failed experience, in hopes of moving past it and above it.

Thank you Divine for this realization!
