The Seed

The chase begins, without warning, without a band, without a flag. You drag yourself through the motions of high school, jump into an investment that would be your college degree, or start whatever mindless job is closest to your path, with little to no understanding of what you really want out of life. Obviously because at that age you have barely lived.. and so you lean on the experiences you have had to help guide your decision making for the future. Whether it be you know how to wash cars, so you open a carwash.. or you liked helping your uncle build a shed, so you jump into construction. Or maybe you were ill as a child, and the doctors quite literally saved your life, so you dive into medical field. Regardless, you are in a rush for your independence, and so you are rushed into deciding who and how you are going to be at a young age. Sure you meet people, you grow with experience, but all of that grows off of the root of the seed that you planted when independence was manifested, and your chase begun.

From what I can tell, our problems started not with the necessity to take action, but with the intentions of the seed we chose to plant. You may have noticed, but two of those seeds were planted with the forethought of how can I make money.. we can wash cars, or we can build houses, we can learn to plumb, maybe even do electrical.. but none of these will thrive in the long term of our consciousness if all we have to water them with is a passion for helping people understand themselves..(yes it is me) Or if I am just full of “passion water” for building play houses for children.. or even spending 12 hours smoking the perfect brisket.. Whatever the case may be, in order to understand what our “passion water” is, we have to slow down, look at ourselves as if we are on a screen, and realize that all this time, we were just chasing dust.

All the mumbo jumbo

It all looks pretty silly from the outside in. Meditating that is.. Maybe even intimidating? Mostly because its so different from our perpetually rushed time clocks and schedules, school time, lunch time, break time, dinner time, work time, day time, night time, all of them demanding the next societally placed action for the next move to bring us closer to the next minute to get us to the next thing and the next thing and the ne…. I think you get it.

Psalms 49:3

“My mouth will speak words of wisdom, the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.”

Meditation is not something taken lightly when it comes to Him. The more time you spend intentionally slowing down, is time you are intentionally spending trying to hear Him. Attempting to understand that which has been inside yourself all along. Hearing the rippling creek flow of your “passion water” as it carves out a map for you to see where you were wanting to aim all along. You see, we didn’t know what seed we should plant when that gradual integration into the chase begun, but there is hope. There is a way out.. or maybe its more like there is a way in.. Into the ground of your subconscious you can plant a new seed, and with enough meditation, and focus solely on Him, you will find yourself, how He made you, in His image.

So yea, its gonna be unfamiliar, its gonna be uncomfortable at first, but don’t let that small circumstance keep you from doing it. I dont care if its gotta be the earliest or the latest part of your day. Only that you do it, and keep doing it, and the more you do, the more you will want to. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. Bringing you closer to Him and yourself simultaneously. Oh yea and the dim lights and the yoga music.. its not just a bunch of mumbo jumbo..

ASK

I have no criteria for how or from what perspective or proper grammar insinuations that I write these little articles but I don’t care. What I do care about is that my honest and closest message to the truths of which I have found come across to you. That being said I quite literally make sure to get my mind into a Theta wave state of meditation before I ever even begin. It’s like playing an instrument for me, the more I let my mind go of what I’m trying to do the better it usually comes across, rather than it being forced into a rhythm or making due being just a little out of tune..

SO, if you’ve been so kind as to read anything that Ive wrote and you have any questions about meditation, or controlling your thoughts, or understanding your “autopilot responses.” please, ask. As I mentioned above (indirectly) my “passion water” is helping people to understand themselves better. Hence why Ive been writing these mind dumps onto this platform so that maybe just maybe, it can help someone out of a quarrel in their own mind. So, may the Lord our God bless you. May you seek Him at all times, not out of fear from discipline, but out of the enormous overwhelming and indescribable love that HE has for YOU…. YOUUU!!! You You You can’t you see?! He loves your face, your mind, your experiences, your potential, He loves everything that you can be if you only look to HIM!!!!
