9 Jesus said, (1) "Look, the sower went out, took a handful of seeds, and scattered them.
(2) Some fell on the road, and the birds came and pecked them up.
(3) Others fell on rock, and they did not take root in the soil and did not produce heads of grain.
(4) Others fell on thorns, and they choked the seeds and worms devoured them.
(5) And others fell on good soil, and it brought forth a good crop. It yielded sixty per measure and one hundred twenty per measure."
(My NonLinear Interpretation):
Here, the sower of seeds is the *realizer*/sage attempting to share his/her Awakening with the masses! Scattering those seeds (of truth) among the people, the *realizer* observes the outcome:
Those seeds that "fell on the road" naturally dissipated, meaning with soooo much truth hiding in plain sight, in every moment, in everything said and done, there are many more multidimensional truths being expressed than will be immediately acknowledged, because when the entire Universe can be dissolved/resolved into a single point, it's like a kazillion people/objects all trying to fit through a doorway all at once, and hence a timeXspace issue, in that living moment.
"Others fell on rock, and they did not take root in the soil (however fertile), and did not produce heads of grain." This means that some people are just not yet *ready,* and hold firmly to that place in their hearts, adamant that what they are already doing is the way to go, or at least the way for themselves, personally (not realizing Universal shared responsibility). These folks will clam up/shut down and tune the sower/sage out, determined not to be invaded by any extraneous data that doesn't immediately fit into their conventional mindset/defense mechanisms/reasoning/comfort zone...
"Others fell on thorns, and they choked the seeds and worms devoured them." These are the folks who readily fight back, get nasty, and argue / go to war for their conventional beliefs. Highly defensive/offensive/offended at any suggestion that they may have taken some wrong turns along the way, they will sooner go on the attack to protect their vested interests, and set out to destroy the messenger!
"And others fell on good soil, and it brought forth a good crop." These folks were "ripe" for the harvesting of Universal Truth/Enlightenment, *ready* to *listen* and learn, and *do the work* to selflessly live up to their inherent responsibility to become Awakened on behalf of all sentient beings.
"It yielded sixty per measure and one hundred twenty per measure."
Here, the one X two measure is the superimposition of the *two truths* upon the *One,* meaning that, to become Awakened/Enlightened of the true *Universal Process,* one must UNproject oneself back to his or her inherent, original *reality,* to *access* Enlightenment, but then, with all life/*Existence* (the Something/*One grain of Sand*/God Particle) beginning with that very first step outside the *Core*/The Nothing, one has no choice but to project, to create a life for oneself "out there," and to keep it projected "out there," in order to live. But that living projection does not have to be done UNconsciously! "Zen mind/beginner's mind" means having *accessed* Consciousness and then gone back out into the world of living/projecting, *mindful* of the *higher truth* that reigns above one's own personal creativity.
Therefore, one must journey all the way to selflessness/Emptiness (of all projection) in order to become Awakened/Universally *Balanced,* but then, having become *realized* (at least once), one must *balance* that Ultimate Awakening with the everyday practicality of one's own creations, meeting each side (those *two truths*) halfway (the one X two measure)! Enlightenment is a neverending journey of relentless return, because no one can "sit on the core" like a pillar of salt, and every time one goes back out into the world to project and play/create, one experiences newer things that then again have to be carried back to the *Core* on yet another and another journey of dissolution/resolution/*Aha!* One will make many, many journeys to that Universal *Core,* each trip climbing *higher* and *Higher* in the process!
Buddhists, though highly realized, project Enlightenment farrrrr away from themselves into many, many more (linear) lifetimes to come, but a concern I have with that is that, when none of those lifetimes are happening (meaning, being NonLinearly *accessed*) for one in the foreseeable *Now,* it becomes a bit of a pyramid scheme, in which there is never *success,* because when and if one ultimately dissolves and resolves everybody and everything to within herself/himself, after many, many more lifetimes to come, there won't be anybody or anything left outside oneself to reflect/*reflect* that success upon! Becoming the Cosmic Christ when no one and nothing is left to witness or reflect that Cosmic Christ sort of makes it a moot point/Point! Instead, I believe that with every new *aha!,* however small, the person has a selfless responsibility to immediately turn back around, into the *state of the art of the heart* of the everyday world in its currentmost status, to SHARE what has been learned/*realized*/*accessed,* which is the truly selfless and compassionate and Empathic way/*Way* to go, as opposed to forever chasing a distant linear goal in a NonLinear Universe that is soooo *One* that it is only then for that *One!* John Lennon said it so well, when he often talked about how the Beatles took "one step at a time, and didn't think about anything more" after that...just that every next step...so all their *energy* and *focus* could stay fully present with them in the real (current functional status) world, and every next step was in its best place to meet...*success!* This is the way/*Way* to take everybody and everything along with you, into ever-increasing Consciousness! *One* step at a timeXspace!
Enlightenment is not an escape. It's an inherent responsibility to *share*...in the *Now!* The scientific Jesus' sower of seeds was trying to do just that!
