In the Bible Jesus told a story about a farmer Duality Review  scattering seeds. First of all some seeds fell on the path and the birds came and ate them up. A number fell on shallow soil and withered in the sun because they had no root. Some fell among thorns which choked the growing plants. Other seed fell on good soil where it produced a large cropSwedenborgian writer Edward Mitchel says our minds are like soil which differ according to our willingness to nurture seeds of wisdom.Some people are like the hard ground of the path. They have an outward opposition to higher principles. As a result they have no interest in spiritual ideas that casually enter into thought. Consequently the seed of truth does not sink in.

Some of us may be like the shallow ground. We might become rapid converts to new ideas to us of writers in spirituality and religion. We may become quite emotional or argumentative in their favour. But a superficial interest in discovering what is meaningful is not deep enough to survive the trials of putting ideas - say about mindfulness self-restraint or compassion - into practice. Also needed is a willingness to be more patient less greedy and more concerned for others.Some of us have plenty of thorns in our makeup. Thorns have the advantage in being native to the soil. They are at home in it. And so in our natural minds worldliness and self-centeredness finds a hospitable home and thrives. Consequently when we allow these pleasure-seeking and self-serving thoughts to rule our life we become indifferent to the seeds of the spiritual life which can no longer grow.
