Horticulture: Weaknesses Transformed into Strengths


Characteristic weaknesses transformed into Strengths:

Virtues are natural to Man, and when desired, when called upon, when prayed for sincerely, deliberately and needfully induced, their messengers will beckon and their characteristics shall be grafted to our being. The weakness shall be restored into that which it was originally destined to become, as follows:

Dispassionate apathy often arises when the forces of nature one usually feels within have gone running out over the hills, leaving you far behind! It is not that the soul-consciousness lacks the eagerness or the nativity to commiserate the ways of life with glee and welcome such as they did in their childhood. It is largely a matter of that part of their nature being so excitedly untamed that it cannot find qualification in what appears to be mundane or taken for granted.

Life never strays far from its source, as they say, and when the forces return, as they will, the individual is given to such an exuberance as is never quite felt before! And it can be for the ‘strangest’ of things; as far as everyone else is concerned! 




The contrasting virtue to this condition is one of invested interest whereby the once dispassioned are yet seized with a well-earned fervor and new life once again, which will come of itself, most naturally.

Ungratefulness is treacherous, and is the second-worst offence next to blasphemy. It is a condition of the ego whereby the individual has accepted something for which they have failed to recognize the element of Grace in.

NOT one gift we are given is due to us. There is nothing demandable of Father God, nor unthankable from another who has benefited us to some measure. 



For all that we may believe we are owed, we shall always dishonour the true value of that which we have if we actually believe it is ours for the taking. All things which we enjoy – even that which has come through our labors, more importantly – is with us because of Grace firstly, lastly and in between.

When this is truly perceived by the soul and its egoic consciousness it becomes a virtue of Charity, when thus knowing that in the blessed state of receiving we depend on Grace for every day unto eternity. This knowing is blissful and eventful, and when fully realised it infills the ego with true prosperity – understanding that life itself is given, but not a given.

Desolateness is primarily a physical dilemma, one which folk often use the sweeter of foods to try to correct. When this weakness has been won over, it becomes Goodwill as the joviality of Nature is once again inherently known, experienced and realized. 

The Ambassador for Nature stands at that conjunction where the stars assemble their goodness and this planet’s children reply. He bows before the majesty of Grace, bringing before her both Reverence and Completion, accepting her bestowments with the honour and the privilege they endow. He distributes his gifts as they are given, pledging to further her work in kind both in and out of manifestation – in the blessed always.
