Master gardener says this...master gardener says that...
Someone rightly said, "Expertise has a tendency of getting in the way of progress."
An epitome of this truth is the master gardener mentality.
As usual, there are certain humans that feel they are the certifiers of all things in the world, even something mastered long before they came along.
This encourages humans to ego-trip and say, “I'm a master gardener.”
The evidence against humans being masters of gardening is insurmountable. Is there any need to recount what an ecosystem means, is and does?
Master Knowledge Of Self
To have any chance of becoming a master gardener or master of anything representative of the higher spiritual nature, understanding must evolve through the process of knowledge of self.
Gardening is part of science. With just a beginning understanding of
what science is, one can begin to grasp the necessity of knowing self in order to know anything else, especially if one hopes to master an aspect of the Creator's science, such as gardening.
As said many times before in many ways, what is sought to be understood is simply a representation, form and aspect of the Creator. It is also a representation, form and aspect of self. This is so because all creation is made in the image of the Creator from the imagination of the Creator.
In order to master gardening, one must understand the Master Gardener who created, designed and established the processes of life in all forms, including soil, plants, humans, Earth and Universe. In other words, in order for “something created” to master “the process that created it,” that “something created” must understand the Creator and the relationship of self to the Creator in order to understand the process that created it.
These three things must become unified in understanding in order to master the understanding. Simply put, the Creator used the creative process of gardening using seeds of spirit and matter to create humans and grow all else into existence. Since the process of gardening was used to create self, one must master self in order to master gardening. One must master the gardening of self in order to master the gardening of anything else.
A so-called master gardener mentality without simultaneous pursuit of knowledge of self is a suboptimal context; therefore, only suboptimal mastery can be achieved. A suboptimal context comes from the lower spiritual nature and interferes with understanding and gardening. "Expertise has a tendency of getting in the way of progress."
