Building a Butterfly Garden

Have you heard this expression: "The thing you are seeking is seeking you"?

I recently found a book titled Reality Unveiled by Ziad Masri.

The first words are "What you seek is seeking you."

This concept was so profound to me when I first understood it.

Let's make three assumptions together to work out this hypothesis:

First, we're human which means we are mammals which means we evolved here on Earth.

Second, nature, along her evolutionary path, has developed a lot of ways for things to go from the unreal to the real. Babies that weren't here last year are here now. Plants that didn't exist a month ago are in my garden now. There's a never-ending cycle of things popping in and out of existence.

Third, humans have the unique capacity to envision our future and develop tools and methods of making those visions a reality.

If you can agree to these things, then check out this hypothesis:

The fundamental drive of any species - plant, animal, or otherwise - is to carry on its genes. One could argue that is the whole drive underlying the evolutionary process. Any living thing, plant, animal or otherwise, has to eat in order to live long enough to reach reproductive maturity, reproduce as much as possible, continue in some form to help ensure the survival of the offspring, then pass away.

Plants have evolved a particular way to use mammals and insects to help them with their process. They use pollen in flowers and seeds embedded in fruit to entice creatures to eat the fruit and then spread the seeds around through...various means. They entice the creatures by making the fruit delicious, nutritious, sweet, and nice to look at. Creatures get a craving for this kind of food whenever it's in season and do their part of carrying on the genes of the plants.

It's not much of a stretch to say that there is more in the unreal, the quantum, the potential for more plants. The quantum realm is an infinite place of vibrations, frequencies, potentials, and probabilities with which we interact all day every day through our thoughts and emotions.

Have you heard that quote from Carl Jung - it's more of a paraphrase - where he said, "People don't have ideas as much as ideas have people."

There's a lot of truth in that.

I argue that when any one of us has an idea, it's more than just available to us individually. Instead, I think that the idea is always there in the quantum realm, but humans have to evolve sufficiently to manifest it. This is why similar phenomena tend to develop in different places in the world at the same time.

I suspect that ideas use humans similarly to how apple trees use deer. An idea will give us a picture or an inkling or a hunch that pesters and won't go away, the same way an apple tree makes a tasty apple to lure the deer. Our job is to find out what that thing is and decide whether we are going to be a catalyst to bring it forward.

Keep this in mind the next time you get an idea that won't go away - especially if it's an idea that could benefit humanity. That idea is seeking a way to happen, and you tuned into it. It wants you to do something.

The next move is up to you.
