All My Links

This last remaining seed was holding on in the breeze on a dandelion in my garden, by the way, there is no such thing as weeds in my garden, all life is life and should be respected.

But this image got me thinking, about the principle and birthing of consciousness, from where-hence I was pure consciousness to be born, where did my moment of conception of conscience begin, well before the physical 5 sense realm we know today. I do not mean born in the maternal sense of the word, but more so where within thinking can one begin to be self aware, it would be great to be able to remember that moment.

I think it was the Gnostics that drew on this idea, that we agree to a contract and become the human experience for whatever length of time is allocated. This seed in my garden is a pondering of that moment.

New week ahead and I hope everyone is well, and so as always thank you! :)

PS: This piece of music I think goes well with this...
