Growing Food: Green Thumb Not Required But Three Things Are

Food Fight #51 – Another Grown-Folks Misconception

So you say you don't have a green thumb? Good! I don't either. We're not supposed to.

Mother Earth Grows Food

Earth has the green thumb. This planet is designed to support life and the reproduction of life. Also, seeds and roots contain the stored power and instructions for growth. Growth is their main purpose and focus. Earth, seeds and plants are anxious to bring forth life and food that supports life. They are all very good at what they do because it is a part of their genetic makeup.

Humans Don't Have A Job In Growing Vegetables

Our human job in a garden is to place seeds and plants in the ground and step back – way back out of the way. Our main job and duty is to respect Earth, plants, seeds and all that supports their health. Respect for Earth is self-respect. Self-respect is food for life.

Humans cannot give increase (growth) or create life. These are Divine powers. Those who believe they do have a “green thumb” are probably doing unnecessary things and more likely to run afoul of Earth because they believe they are in control. An unhealthy approach cannot produce a healthy result even though it may appear to be so.

Green Is The Color Of Growth Not Envy

Willingness to listen to the rest of the natural world and learn from it as a student hungry for the power of pure knowledge, is the Earth seed that must germinate within us. This is much better than having a green thumb. Because learning (growing) takes place at the cellular level, as we grow in harmony with Earth, we become green through and through – nature-ly so.

Violence, Volcanoes & Blaming God

Nature-ly Not That Way #1

Somewhere, a volcano is active, forming - same for violence. Both beyond our periphery unless we are right there or until a sensational eruption is broadcast. Despite some likeness between violence and a volcano, two aspects, the essential and the evil, forever separates them.

Why is it usually said, “the volcano erupted violently?” A volcano exists in accordance with natural law. Just like a tornado, earthquake, hurricane, tsunami or thunderstorm, a volcano has immense power indeed. The release of this energy is not an act of violence because a volcano is nature-ly not that way.

Violence is a human characteristic. Violence is intentional action to harm. Violence is any degree of intent to lessen birth rights. Violence allows the violent to escape. Violence hides behind survival. Violence is the ultimate aberration of fear. Violence runs counter to creation. A volcanic eruption is the crowning ceremony of the maturing of being in sync.

A volcano is a part of the recycling, replenishing and reconfiguring process. If current-day humans were taught truths, we'd be praying for the release of gases from volcanoes more than we pray for our sports teams to win because a volcano helps the global air we breathe.

A volcano, even if underwater, is also a release valve that helps alleviate pressure from the incredible energy at the Earth's core.* This, along with geysers and hot springs, helps keep the planet from blowing up; however, witnessing a volcano expel orange, red and brown liquid rock hundreds of feet into the air is to see a celebration of magnificence far more fulfilling than any fireworks display.

Volcanoes help make the soil and seas more fertile. Volcanic eruptions are benevolent not violent. Volcanic gases and ash are important to living organisms. Volcanoes also bring forth obsidian and pumice. Beyond their natural value, each is precious due to work uses and spiritual uses. Where is the violence in all this benefit and beauty?

A volkano is an essential expression of exquisite elements. To term this “violent” is to blame those who established the conditions from the very foundations.
