Parable of the Sower

This parable of Jesus summarizes the general outline of the development of us human beings (Spirits)

----------------------------------

Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. Such large crowds gathered around him that he go t into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood. Then he told them many things in parables, saying…….

“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Some fell on rocky places, where they did not have much soil. They sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow, but when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seeds fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seeds fell on good soil, where they produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. The crop was strictly sifted during harvest, and the dead ears were separated from the full ears. Then, after the harvest, the chaff is once more carefully separated from the wheat."

"Whoever has ears, let them hear .” Matthew 13

----------------------------------

This is what this parable means:

The region where the finest ethereal substance of Creation borders upon the Realm of Animistic Substantiality, is the field in which the human spirit-germs are sown. Small sparks cross the border from this Animistic Substantiality and immerse themselves into the virgin soil of the fine-material part of Creation, similar to electric discharges during a thunderstorm. It is as if the Creative Hand of the Holy Spirit were sowing seeds into the World of Matter….. (Lecture. “Man and his free Will” In the Light of Truth (The Grail Message) by Abdrushin)

While the seeds develop and slowly ripen towards the harvest many of them are l ost. These are the people who never developed their higher (Spiritual) qualities. They have decayed or withered, and must become lost in the World of Matter. The seeds falling on rocky ground refers to those who hear the Word and without deep reflection receive it with joy. But since they have no deep conviction (root), they last only a short time. When troubled, or when they face challenges because of the Word, they quickly fall away.

The seed falling among the thorns are those who hear the Word, but the worries of everyday life, fear of what people think and other distractions choke the Word, making it unfruitful for them to use it to become spiritually alive. The seed falling on good soil refers to those who hear the Word, understand it and try to use it. They produce works i.e. crops, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what they themselves have sown.

But those which have germinated and rise above the surface are strictly sifted during harvest, and the dead ears are separated from the full ears means that at the end of the time allotted for the development of the human spirit germs, (the time of harvest) their works will be weighed. Only those who have put their talents (the abilities granted to each human spirit germ) to use (i.e. worked with them)[1] will be deemed worthy of further consideration for continued existence.

Then, after the harvest, the chaff is once more carefully separated from the wheat, means that even among those who have used their talents, their works and their being will be evaluated by how well they align with the Laws of creation. The chaff are those who have used their talents to distort the Truth and created works to suit their own purpose, but not the Will of The Light.

Whoever has ears, let them hear.
