"Human beings tend to judge life by outer appearances — the body, status, possessions, age, success, and failure. Yet these are only the external coverings. Beneath them exists something immeasurably greater: the spirit, the Self, the infinite essence of life itself."🫶couldn't be more true. The older I get, the more I can see that people's true spirit can not be covered by their external coverings :) loved it, Meredith.

I love this, Meredith. It's spring here in the Northern Hemisphere, and as I plant my garden, I ask for patience while I wait for the seedlings to take the time they need to become what they are meant to blossom into.

And isn't is wonderful to see those seeds grow and blossom into what they are meant to be 🤍

The conscious mind naturally attempts to preserve what is already known, safe, and trusted.

It constantly seeks absolute clarity, certainty, and control.

​But as your post beautifully clarifies - "you" are are not a fixed state, but a continuous becoming.

​Stepping out of the driver's seat and embracing this inevitable change is exactly what aligns you with your own inner, unlimited potential and divinity.

Chasing the external things for fulfillment is kind of like trying to have that artificial seed. The fulfillment lies in realizing what we already have within us is all we really need.

Thank you. Love the way you describe this relating back to the mustard seed, and the infinite with the finite.

Just about yesterday I was telling my 4 year old about the magic in Creation and I gave the example of a whole tree living in a tiny seed. Today I read this.. you have explained this so beautifully with the enable of mustard seed Meredith. Thank you ! 🙏🏻
