Planting My Garden of Consciousness: Potatoes or Tomatoes

“All law must be subjective; the soil knows how to take a seed and make a plant from it; it does not know whether it is making a tomato or a potato.”
—Ernest Holmes

I love this quote. It perfectly summarizes why we are where we are in this present day. What have we been thinking? What has lain hidden and unnoticed in the subjective consciousness of the world that has now manifested so visibly as violence and hatred, repeating itself again and again?

Once I recognize that what has been hidden is now out in the open—and I see it clearly and take responsibility for it—I am on my way to healing it. As Dr. Joe Dispenza often says in regard to his healing work, “If a thought can make us sick, a thought can make us well.”

However, it is more than just a thought. Yes, we can look at the tendencies of our thinking and acknowledge that those tendencies have manifested as our life, but there is something else: the actions we take based on our thoughts. What actions are we taking, and are they coming from our highest and most healing thoughts?

Today, I will examine my own mind and see what I am allowing in—and what I am pouring out into the collective. Am I thinking in solutions, or am I adding more to the problem? What am I focusing on?

Right now, I feel a great movement of energy on the side of Good, Peace, and Love. I am focusing on that. I am looking for it everywhere. I am living it in my own life. Will you join me?

If the soil (our collective consciousness) does not know whether it is making a potato or a tomato, but knows exactly how to bring forth change based on our thought and action, then our success as Love is assured.

Love and Aloha,
