The tree in the seed

[WindInTheLeaf]

If the tree lies inherent in the current state of the seed(which is ofcourse not an isolated seed but rather contains everything), would one be able to see the future by surrendering completely to the present? The future must lie in the present just as much as the past lies in the present, and as the past disappears, the future perhaps becomes crystal clear?

 The present is just an appearance. ? The tree is the seed, the seed is the tree,  both are nothing. ❤️ You’d have to be very intelligent to pull that off.

Maybe it's possible. Surrendering to the present moment is key to awakening to your true being and maybe someone has aquired such a power to see into the future.

@Nahm Yes of course. The seed and the tree are one and the same, and cannot be separated from the rest of the universe, as everything is contained in every part. And since everything is nothingness manifested in infinite ways, the seed nor the tree nor anything else is there, but is mere imagination. But if reality is illusion, then illusion is reality, and although everything is nothingness it is not nothing. Patterns arise, following lines of intelligent design, designing itself. So if one became enlightened to the degree of becoming the impartial creative force behind it all, in a way becoming the universe, then one would be able to see things happening before they happen, as everything springs out of nothingness or creative force or whatever we might call it. And if one completely surrenders to the source of all things, and every result lies within the source - IS the source - would that person that is no longer a person not be able to see everything without looking? I have not had much sleep and a 12-hour shift, i don't know if this makes any sense or if its just a dream.

And if your true being is everything that is, becoming that would mean accessing all experience within you, the infinite possibilities of nothingness. But it would require you to be both nothing and something, like one foot in the finite and one in the infinite. Like lucid dreaming, where you become aware that you are dreaming but remain in a dream that is now under your control.

Let the seed grow by blowing on it. Then even the infinite possibilities of the future will be unveiled.

It’s a dream. There isn’t a timeline.

Yes it does feel like that.

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.” Matthew 13:31-32
