A young farm boy was told by his teacher and benefactor that it was time for him to go from his childhood home and find his divine, fertile field in which to create his own future. He said that this divine fertile field was waiting for him and would grow his seeds with great speed and with full richness. He said,in fact, this divine, fertile field was so fertile that he should take great caution not to drop seeds carelessly, because even those seeds would grow quickly and to full expression of the essence of the seed's inner intention.
The young apprentice was wide eyed with visions of green fields as far as he could see. In all directions around him he would plant and water and tend to his field with great care and love. He could envision this great field all around him where he could plant and grow whatever he chose. More than anything he wanted to have a sheltor full of, music, song and celebration. He wanted to have fresh water to drink and plenty of food to eat and share with his family and friends. He was eager to start his search for the fertile field.
The young boy left his teacher's side, reluctantly, and took to the roads to find this divine fertile field he believed was waiting for him. On his quest he had many happy adventures. He met fellow travelers with whom to share a campfire and companionship. They sometimes shared stories, songs and celebrations and were never without food to share with each other. He often slept alone and comfortably under the stars and was not at all frightened of the sounds he heard in the trees around him. He found that no matter what the weather or Mother Nature produced he always found a safe place in a cave or under an rocky ledge were he could build a fire and be warm and safe from the winds and rains.
The young seeker discovered that when he became thirsty he always found a stream or well nearby to quench his thirst. And when he became hungry, he never failed to find a bush with berries or a wild yam to eat. He grew more confident as he traveled in search of his divine fertile field where he knew he would build a home and grow his crops. He traveled North and South, East and West. He traveled for many months searching for the fertile field his teacher had told him was out there waiting for him.
Finally the young man gave up and returned to his teacher. "I have failed," he said. "I never found the divine fertile field of which you spoke."
"Ah" said the teacher. "Are you sure you did not find it?"
"No." said the boy. "I traveled very far. I went to the icy mountains of the North and the warm sandy shores of the South. I went to where the sun rises and where the sun sets and I did not see any fertile field the likes of which you described, where I would build my home and dig a well, the place where I could plant seeds for harvesting."
"You did not fail, my boy. You found the fertile field. The fertile field is all around you in every direction as far as you can imagine. It is the fertile field of the divine where your every intention is planted and grows for you instantly. When you became thirsty, did you not find clean water to drink?"
"Well, yes." said the boy.
"And when you became hungry, did not food appear for you to be filled?"
"Yes, always."
"Did ever once you not find shelter when you looked for it?"
"I always found shelter when I needed it." said the young boy.
"The fertile field is everywhere waiting for you to plant the seeds of your intentions. As long as your intentions come from a loving heart, you will see your seeds of creative thought grow to full blossom." said his wise teacher.
"Close your eyes now and see the divine fertile field all around you. The field has been tilled and is ready for planting. The soil is rich and dark and row upon row as far as you can see is waiting for your seeds of intention. Think with your heart. What loving thing do you want to plant? A happy home? A happy family? A renewed spirit and planet? Is it peace of mind you desire? Is it a strong and fit body to enjoy? Feel your intentions as they are manifest right now. Feel love and appreciation in your heart. Allow the seeds to grow in every row, in every direction, as far as you can imagine. Feel the joy of your happiness taking to the soil to grow more happiness. Feel the greatness of abundant prosperity planted in your field. See yourself reaping the love and peace you have planted. Receive your harvest now."
