Beginner Gardeners | More Apt To Cross More Learning GapsUnity Consciousness #314

.

Being more open and seeking learning opportunities is an advantage beginner gardeners have over many old heads. The willingness to learn gives the baby an advantage over the parent, which is why a child of 18 usually learns much more in those 18 years than the parent in those same 18 years. Length of time alone does not cause change or ensure improvement. Being an initiate of learning does cause change because it combines persistence, patience, understanding and time.

Everyone must cross gaps of understanding. These gaps vary in size. Learning gaps are dividers of knowledge of self. Learning gaps also block consciousness from being able to see multiple utilities in the process of crossing learning gaps.

A gardener must be growing in knowing self in order to grow in consciousness of unifying how parts of the ecosystem are interconnected and interrelated. This includes understanding the fixed and variable nature of Maat, of ecosystem and of self.

Knowing self leads to increasing consciousness of the sameness of self with all else and in all else. This is why the process of knowing self is the same as the process of understanding all else. To be able to grow (raise) something else requires personal growth because the process for growing healthy plants and livestock is the same as growing a healthy self.

In the early stages of gardening, openness to learning allows the student to display new growth. Beginning gardeners are more apt to cross many learning gaps that connect self to the plants and animals they are becoming one with.

Change is a fixed variable component of life and existence. Since change continues, learning must continue. This is something self-anointed master gardeners and other types of experts seem to lose sight of. In latter stages of gardening, understanding acquired tends to lead to a knowledge quagmire. Length of time gardening becomes the default measurement of expertise. This causes learning to slow way down or come to a standstill because the teacher aspect of self, now having gained a bit of understanding, is in the way of the student aspect of self. Understanding that was once utility has changed to understanding that now functions more like futility because that understanding has limited the agility of growing in knowing self. The person has changed from being an initiate of learning to being an officiate of learning. If not re-initiated, so learning is reinvigorated (like the life within plants), not only will this frozen state cause learning gaps to increase like an ever-widening crevasse, the chances of getting trapped on the wrong side of the gap increases. History has proven this to be true. Once this is realized, a person who considers self to be so well-versed on any subject that understanding is no longer moving and growing in accordance with what is needed, that person might not be able to adapt the genetics of thought processes fast enough to change behaviors to allow movement across the learning gap. History has proven this to have devastating, cold-blooded results.

Change is always coming, always arriving, always here influencing and settling in and always going. Life and existence is a process of maintaining rhythm with collective changes so that individual changes are made to stay in sync with the intended level of development. This keeps thought processes fixed and flexible enough to make necessary changes.
