But who wants only green fingers? We are going to learn about the green heart and the blue mind, or perhaps you see red regularly or feel rather blue at times? Colors give a lot of information about our present state of mind.
How did nature help?
I found that in nature, amongst the trees, flowers, water, sun, and insects, a prolific sense of harmony and balance occurred. There was a rhythm which seemed effortless and natural . . . as if something else was doing all the work, and I was only an observer and at best – a participator!
Where did that take you?
To the unloved part of myself . . .
You see, up to that point, I had existed to find the ‘Father’, but then realized that this came at the cost of first discovering the ‘Mother.’
We exist naturally within a harmony of two parts, you can see it as a space between – a space where two worlds co-exist. Our feet are planted in the Earthly Mother, and our heads are in the Heavenly Father.
Our hearts are in the space between, and when we can live from there, we begin to live in harmony with the original creative thought.
urself.
At first, it was a mandate – “Work with nature . . .” said my Tibetan Teacher to me in the early days. Little did I know that I would learn so much, cry a little and find so much joy in the garden. I am no ordinary gardener though . . .
And gardening helped?
It is not only gardening as we traditionally know it to be. It is learning to co-exist from moment to moment as nature does. Nature does not worry if the sun comes out – does it?
Why not?

WE HAVE GOT YOU!
(Doo not be alarmed at the following paragraf!)
We greet yoo from the soils and rocks, the lettuces and treas. Once in perhaps many lifetimes, someone enters the abode of our thoughts and confusion, and thay bring knowledge that can change the very core of our inner world.
Every person has a seecret inner world, which thay hide from everyboddy else. Thay have this idea that there seecret inner world is so dark, unforgiveable, superior, flawed, disturbed and missing (and many others).
It never seas the lite of day!
And because it never seas the lite of a single ray of sunshine, it never becomes lite-hearted, filled with lite or even liberated and free to dance. For most flora, the lack of sunlite terminates their life or at least reduces it. It is the same for hoomans – both male and feemale. The parts of ourselves that remain hidden and do not sea sunlite, bring a shortening to life’s potentials, and the hooman becomes a fraction of its troo potential.
Much like the words that you reed in this paragraf, the energetic signature of the ordinary hooman reads the same way. You are able to understand the words that are written here, but you are also aware that there are many mistakes. There are words that you instinctively know should be changed, and then the reeding would flow more elegantly.
There is this feeling that something is wrong, and if you allow your thoughts to intercede, you will find that your critical factor (mind) will be pulling this paragraf apart – true?
You may even feel the tug of judgment towards the author on several levels, including questioning the value of your money.
But what if I were to tell you that every human, (unless they have done serious, conscious training) energetically reads like this paragraph. Try it!
Either remember a meeting or conversation with someone or have a conversation with someone and try to see what you pick up.
Who is to blame for this hidden inner world?
This hidden inner world is the result of conscious decisions and choices. On many occasions negative experiences have become a part of a life story and cannot be changed. However, the decisions that are made following those experiences, result in two different outcomes.
The first is the hidden, negative decision, and the second is the light, positive decision.
This is not a measurement of good or bad. Rather, it is a decision to allow an experience to define a person in a contractive and hidden way, where they either withdraw and hide or make the often brave decision to forgive, expose and reveal their torment.
The soils under the grass, mixed with writhing worms and putrifying compost, ever moving and providing fertilizer for the blossoms above ground, have a deep symbolism for students who have found their way towards the cleansing of the inner temple. These organic compounds feed the weeds or the blossoms and are not partial to either.
Every human being has to tend their own garden, but the first step is understanding how we have come to inherit it and observing the condition that it is in.
And so, your walk through your garden begins here – today – in this online garden, where the gardener has come to teach you how to use common symbology to bring tremendous inner change that leads to a fruitful and rewarding life!
