As we prepare for spring and for the Abundance that is freely made available by Father through Nature, let's consider the possibility that perhaps plants receive their nourishment not only through the soil, but also through the bounty of resources that shower us from the "heavens" on a daily basis. From water and amino acids, to metals and crystals it all is made available to Nature and us on a daily basis from the "heavens".
From the book titled "The Universe" from the Life Nature Library, by David Bergamini and the Editors of Time-Life Books, 1969, we learn on page 70, that about four million tons of matter reach the earth each year. We also learn that this is the result of about 100 million shooting stars and billions of micrometeorites arriving to earth on a daily basis and that perhaps this "dust" accounts for up to 10 feet of Earth's "topsoil". Mr. Bergamini tells us in this book that today's farmer plows "ancient star dust". If you visit this article for 3rd grade schoolchildren, you will learn that this "annoying dust" contains different minerals including iron, diamonds, and gold.
Now consider that the above estimate accounts for only shooting stars and micrometeorites. How much more resources would be accounted for if one took into consideration that which the solar wind carries into the Earth from the Sun? Or what about what the Earth receives from the interstellar matter which contains such items as hydrocarbons, amino acids, and water [1] ?
Why dig into the Earth for her resources when we are daily showered by such Abundance? Why even work for money when gold and diamonds rain from the skies on a daily basis? All we need do is breathe the air, absorb it through our skin, and yes even smile to Freely receive these amino acids, water, gold, diamonds, and so on. Could it be this is why "country people" who live where the air is clean tend to be more healthy and robust than "city people" who are covered by a cloud of pollution? Could it be this helps explain why many People are restored to health when they go to health resorts way up in the mountains where they breathe in fresh, clean air and bathe in the SunLight?
Based on what I have been reading and learning from Father, I suggest that perhaps the reason plants are able to absorb nutrients from foliar sprays is because leaves are meant to absorb the nourishment that arrives daily from the "heavens" (perhaps via the morning dew?). Otherwise, there would be no mechanism by which plants could use any nourishment received through the leaves. After all, if as we are told, there is nothing in the air but mainly oxygen and nitrogen, and rainwater is completely "pure" then why would evolution create a mechanism that would allow a plant to absorb nutrients from the leaves when non exist to be received in the first place?
Now the question becomes, how could we change the way we garden, nourish ourselves, and perhaps even how we live our lives so as to benefit from the resources Father makes Freely available to us each and every day? And perhaps even more important, how do we receive and enhance our capacity to receive such nourishment in a way that is Harmonious with the Divine?
...a mystery adventure of introspection and observation awaiting our Desire to walk in the Father Way of Truth.
