The Garden of the Mind
In the ruins of ancient civilizations—
on stone walls, in forgotten temples,
buried beneath centuries of dust—
there are symbols.
Two beings face one another.
Each holds a seed bag.
Each holds a pine cone.
Between them stands the Tree of Life.
To the historian, it’s a ritual.
To the curious, a mystery.
But to those with eyes to see—
it’s a blueprint.
These are not just carvings.
They are a map of the human mind.
The two beings mirror the two hemispheres of the brain—
masculine and feminine,
positive and negative,
logic and emotion,
the left and the right.
Both feed the conscious mind.
Both pour seed into the garden.
But only one can sit on the throne at a time.
This is why you must always be mindful of your thoughts—
because whichever side you nourish…
will govern the garden.
The seed is the thought.
The pineal is the activator.
The tree?
That’s your life.
The Kybalion says:
“As within, so without.”
“All is Mind. The Universe is Mental.”
That’s not metaphor.
It’s mechanics.
Your inner world creates your outer world.
Your beliefs become behaviors.
Your thoughts form patterns.
Your imagination becomes reality.
When you sprinkle seeds—your thoughts—
into your consciousness,
they do not disappear.
They take root.
And whether they grow into weeds or fruit
depends on how you tend the soil.
Jesus said:
“A sower went out to sow…”
Matthew 13.
Some seed fell on rocky soil.
Some among thorns.
Others on fertile ground.
Only the ones planted in good soil—
tended with care—
bore fruit.
So let me ask you:
What is your soil like today?
Are you watering resentment?
Are you feeding fear?
Are you letting weeds grow wild?
Or are you plucking them?
Are you guarding the gate?
Are you feeding your spirit with truth?
The pine cone—the pineal gland—
is how you see spiritually.
It’s the projector of your inner world.
“If the eye be single,” Jesus said,
“your whole body will be full of light.”
The seed bag—your subconscious—
is where every thought is stored.
And every seed will grow,
whether you want it to or not.
So I’ll ask again:
What are you planting?
Because the mind is the garden.
Thought is the seed.
And you…
you are the gardener.
Only one can sit on the throne.
So choose wisely.
Speak life.
Think truth.
Plant hope.
Pluck the weeds.
And tend your thoughts like sacred soil—
because they shape the world you walk in.
