Master - Gardener of the Soul











The man sooner or later discovers that he is the master - gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

James Allen



  
A gardener places seeds into a dark rich soil, and then fertilizes, waters, and weeds out any stray growth that may choke out the new sprouts.  With the gardener's loving care, the earth supports the growth of the plant in this process.

Divine Spirit plants intentions and insights into the master - gardener's mind for nurturing, growth, and flowering.  If the mind becomes cluttered, creative perceptions do not survive the incubation period.  Lacking the gardener's tender loving care the sprouts of expression no longer thrive or grow. The natural process of personal growth becomes stunted without investment and the Universe ceases to support the unfolding.

A gardener selects plants that will tolerate the surroundings.  He or she may even put up small fences of protection to ward off invasion from little critters.  This keeper of the land will monitor the moistness of the soil in addition to anticipating the predicted temperatures to further protect the processing of the plant.

As master - gardener of the soul, ideas must be chosen that best support inner thinking and strong boundaries need to be created to protect thoughts that are still incubating.  Through discussions emotional climate is tested and results indicate which new insights will be kept in our personal green house while others might be mature enough to be displayed in the public garden of friends. 

As seasons of life pass, the master - gardener of the soul views the rewards from the well manicured mind.  An abundance of enhanced colors of thought randomly dance across the fertile soil.  All debris with potential to choke out brilliance now resides on the compost pile.  Tears irrigate memories, keeping them from growing parched, brittle or dry.  A sunny disposition maintains the warmth in friendships preventing the potential of isolation or erosion.  The excitement of what will germinate next expands, and the master - gardener cultivates visionary meditations that open gates to all future possibilities.
