Good Seeds, Bad Seeds
By Dr. William K. Larkin on July 27, 2009
Before technology, farmers would sort their seed themselves. They would save the best of their crop for the seed corn and then they would sort the kernels to find only the good seed to plant.
Stories of seeds have been important to parables and stories that teach. However, they have lost a good deal of their "oomph" because we are so removed from "seeds." Our usual experience is to find them in some food we eat and to throw them away.
However, seeds were seen as essential life forms. What you got depended first and foremost on the seeds you planted. They needed to be good seeds to produce a life-sustaining good crop. These good seeds were essential to life.
What might be comparable in our techno-world to seed planting? Our seeds are probably our thoughts. Today the story might read:
As
the person planting my life, my thoughts are probably something like these seeds. Thoughts are the beginning of what I utilize to produce words, more thoughts, deeds, events, and inventions.
Good thoughts produce an outcome. We can even measure this scientifically today. As a matter of fact, we are rather astounded by the effect and impact of good thoughts. They affect the saliva in your mouth which is the first line of defense against disease. In saliva there is immunoglobin A and B. Good thoughts increase the potency of immunoglobin A to resist disease. Negative thoughts decrease it.
Research shows us that thoughts can affect how our cells thrive-- what they assimilate and what they will expel. You might say that good thoughts and a positive mind are the best, most potent anti-toxins.
You are the farmer planting the seeds of your life. What fills your thinking: good seed or bad seed, good thoughts or negative ones? These good seeds are essential to life.

It is highly possible to feel generally good about life and to see that life is good, to affirm life, but not to feel good "in" life -in the experience of living it. It is one thing to observe life and to judge that it is good; it is quite another thing to live in such a way that "in life" you feel good. Our measures of the UpSpiral and our Emotional Scale begin to get at this difference. But it is VibeCore that begins to pull at this distinction and attempts to make what we feel about the world synonymous with the flourishing good that is in our lives.

Consider the amount of time in each day that your mind just wanders. Consider the amount of time you spend worrying about this or that. The amount of time your brain spends wandering is a part of the time we want you to claim back for "feeling good." You don't need extra time in your day to "feel good." You just have to decide to use some of the time in your day that you already have--time when you are thinking about something negative or something bothersome or just wandering over a dozen things that hit you, just one after the other. Take that time and say and feel gratitude, love, peace, joy, or hope. Say it over and over and over and feel a little bit of it. We are repetitive in teaching this exercise.
In the future, the great science and learning will be channeling the energy of the mind toward positivity as a means of preventing disease and disorder. We are way ahead of what is coming, way out on the cutting edge. You do not have to wait to "feel good." You can create the ambient soundtrack in your life that is positive, that will lead you to better and better moods for longer and longer periods of times. If this weren't so simple, it would be easier to do.
