Plant a Seed. Grow A Whole New World!

Today, I am Planting My Dream! Today, I am Planting A Beautiful Tomorrow! Garden Management Journal, May 11, 2004  5:52 PM in the History of Peace on Earth Just got through doing some very messy, soil on-my-knees Enchanted Gardening.  I highly recommend you do some for yourself as soon as possible!  All it takes is a pot on a porch with some sunshine to get started.  One pot leads to another.   Before you know it,  you may graduate into having a whole backyard of plants.   That¹s what happened to me more than 25 years ago. Yesterday, I feel into a deep longing, not only longing, but depression.  I had a give-up attitude. I wasn¹t sure how long I could keep going the way I was going. I felt cut off and in a narrow place where I could not see the whole of things. Today was a different day.  I spent the day Enchanted Gardening to achieve the Successes I am after that will come as I follow Mother¹s dictate to "Plant Your Dream!" Step One: Feel Your Narrow Places Step One was taking time to enter the narrow places--the Cracks. To feel these places.  I allowed  the feelings to come up.  I  experienced what I was feeling without running away or turning to addictive behaviors that keep these feelings from being named, or fully felt. Step Two:  Create Your Garden  Management Journal Step Two, Three, and Four was today¹s work. I began the process, working with creating bold title pages for my Garden Management Journal. I made a work of art of this. These Title Pages  helped me transform the fears, anxieties, and frustrations I was feeling yesterday into the results that I want to achieve. Enchanted Gardening begins in a three ring notebook.  Make a cover. Mine says,  "Enchanted Garden Vision Revival. Back to Basic¹s '04." Then I created a heading...in this case "The Amazing and Mystical Adventures of Life in the Arosa House and how it grounded the Enchanted Garden Vision." Then, inside the three ring notebook, I created the Seed Dreams I wanted on the Title Pages. Planting My Seed Dreams These are the Seed Dreams that identified the Plants--the results--I wanted to grow that would grow from the seeds I would plant in my garden of consciousness as well as in the literal soil: #1: Receiving and welcoming Spiritual Support and Strength to make moves (Movement)  with difficult agreements. This is one of my most difficult life issues: Taking a stand. #2: We are in need of a House mate at the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community.  Yesterday, this  condition wascreating anxiety.  Each day the room goes vacant, I have a financial loss.  I was feeling deep disappointment from high hopes of potential roommates that did not pan out. I could not see beyond my narrow place. My Seed Dream today read: "Wait for the Right Perfect House mate."  Apply Patience. Do what I need to do inside myself to draw in the person who is out there waiting. #3 My third Seed Dream is "I am Preparing to do Business."  I am in the process of taking my record keeping to a higher level of organization and connection. I planted Marigolds along the soaker hose. I put a marble marker to designate the area. I wrote "Good Business" on the Marker with a Indelible pen.  As I water each day or visit the stop, I will consecrate these energies in soil, as well as in my resolve. I will deal with the cracks that come up, that stand between me and my seed dreams. This  Seed Dream was a calling forth of the energies to enjoy the details I am about to experienceas I refine my record keeping at a new level as well as cull old materials I no longer need on my computer and in my files. Step Four: Put your Title Pages in Protective Covers-- Take your Dreams to the Garden Step four was enclosing each of my printed pages--my title pages-- in protective covers.  Then I choose Seeds --literal garden seeds to go with each Seed dream.  Then I went into our backyard garden to mark areas in fresh soil where the seed dreams  that I attached to each Seed would grow. I spent a number of hours doing this, and finished with designated Altar Areas surrounded by rocks where the Seed Dreams, the Seeds, and the virtues that went with each when they came to mind. To further set the Intentions, I recorded the plot with digital images that I will store in my Garden Management Journal to help me remember my days work. This is how Enchanted Gardening works. I hope you find the way I plant success for myself inviting This On-line Course of study further defines how to Plant Your Dream.
