Stony Ground

It can be disheartening when a gift is offered and not accepted. But such is often the way of the world. Historically, new revelations are almost never well-received. Its messengers are often persecuted, rebuffed and shunned. Extreme cases - well-documented throughout man's history - have demonstrated that even the highest representatives of Divinity can, and will, have their physical lives threatened or abolished.

Why is this? Divine revelations can be likened to a sword. Their purpose is to cleave the old in twain, so that the New can be planted in its place. The Old Ways are the ones usually cherished by the masses, for like a well-worn slipper, they have contoured them to fit perfectly - not realizing that they had to wear away sections in order to achieve such comfort. The slipper fits snugly, but it is nowhere near what it was when first worn.

When the Sword comes, it carries with it a vengeance that gleams like the Sun. Its Power cannot be downplayed or denied. Those who cling to the old, who are rooted in stale dogma and outdated forms, first tremble in fear and then, they attack. The Messengers and Avatars offer to sow the seeds of a Higher Truth over mankind, but invariably, a large majority of those seeds fall upon stony ground. There, they are crushed beneath the heel, or plucked up by the birds. The Teachings go unheeded, man remains in self-imposed darkness.

These are fast-moving times. This is by design. Many teachings are being offered to mankind. Some completely false and misleading, others glowing with the radiance of divinity. With Truth making its scheduled re-appearance on the world stage, those who are intuitively discerning should be able to recognize it.

Be fertile soil, not stony ground. Allow those Seeds of Truth to germinate within the bosom of the heart. There will bloom the Rose whose beauty cannot be denied and whose fragrance will uplift all within reach.
