Me, Myself & I- 9


Horticulture
teaches us the opulence of fertility and reproduction. The etheric world throbs with a passionate and virile life. One can come to this life element amongst the very mechanics and orchestrations which comprise the whole ecology of life. There amongst the structures and the sub-structures and the super-structures and their superior-structures, is a whole enterprise which is having fun!


There is a natural joy amongst life which can be directly experienced out in the countryside. The peacefulness resounds within us, the colors are pleasing and so forth, however it is the abundant glee which emanates out from all of the growing, scent emitting, tendrilly, furrily, openly, burgeoning plant life which tells us that the leaves and the wind and the sun and the sky and the beings all throughout are having a rather fine time. Life is good!


So we may contemplate the bringing into this world of yet further life and so rejoice. The Horticulturalist knows life in its voracity and virulence. He has met with the Trinity in its unaffected and most wild happiness.

For the student who has not this element of understanding there is a compulsion to order, to cold divisioning and to decisiveness such is choleric, yet overly so - the very profile of the ahrimanic contender, who has forsook their natural joy for a seriousness that will consume them if their natural world does not return within them.

The gift of Horticulture is of a happy disposition amongst almost all of life’s conditions, not at the expense of rationality, but alongside the gravel and the tar.

This table (above) is not intended for diagnostic purposes - it is moreover an indication of the physical condition primarily and how it can be affected or afflicted by given influences. Second-guessing the spiritual causes to any condition within the physical is far more involved than any one table could explain, let alone from just one criterion understood, therefore this is just to be taken as is - and be noted duly as simply pertaining to the physical body itself rather than its occupant within.
