How do you plant seeds in the middle of a battlefield?
Will the meek really inherit the earth?

I'm in the habit of having a micro/macrocosmic view to anything i'm involved in; universe, world, my country, my society, my family, my friends, my work place, my virtual world, Yahoo! Answers, and any section on it like R&S...... even my inner world; my likes and dislikes, the forces that are working there.
In each of these places a battle is taking place among various forces. Each of them try to gain the upper hand. If you start to know each of these forces; their nature, their motivations,etc, then little by little you see you love each one of them in a different way, and you feel that you want to mediate and make them all friends. If this job is done in your mind and psyche, you gain your individuation and maturity. If it happens in your family, you'll have a peaceful and loving family.
It can be done here in R&S, too . It is a microcosm of our society and the world. We can practice patience, democracy, respect, and love here. Then they permeate this virtual world and enter our real world .
R&S is also a macrocosm of our inner self . Those who are fighting unmanly here, have some psychological problem . Maybe they have been deprived of love, respect , and freedom in their real lives. Fighting them back just makes them worse. Let's show them how love can resolve their grudges.
So evey moment of our life is a battle taking place in a beautiful garden. A battle in which everyone wins in a way. If we can know the disputants and mediate among them, all of us can enjoy the beauties of this garden much more.
Have a nice day!

How did you know about the movie I'm making...
"The Secret Garden-Variety Battlefield"
LOL! Ok ok, so I'm not really working on a movie, but it's got a catchy title, yeah?
Basically, as far as planting seeds goes, I have come to realize that I'm not much of a gardener! I tried the whole seed planting bit for a while, only to find that I am way too much of a perfectionist! Yup... for some reason I'm just too impatient to allow nature to take its course. (lol, I believe this was once called "divine impatience!") =P
It wasn't until I began just watching other seed planters (gardeners) do their thing that I began to understand. I realized that it doesn't matter if seeds are planted perfectly, nor does it matter where they are planted, how they are planted, or even if they take root. All that matters is that they are planted in whatever fashion feels natural and good to the gardener.
When this is done, nature takes care of the rest. And, in fact, if and when the plants begin to grow, even they will re-seed the earth. So, seeds plant more seeds, and on and on... ad infinitum!
However... I guess if a gardener was dead set on planting his/her seeds in Battlefield Earth, they had better bring along some of that new and improved plant food... "Divine Miracle-Gro"
Now, as far as the meek are concerned... I didn't realize that the earth could be inherited. But, if that's the case, then I merely have one statement... That must be one heck of a "Last Will and New Testament!" (haha) =P

I've seen better, gardens that is. Horse manure carries a lot of venomous weed seeds with it.
Some would like it to be a battle field. That's why the meek don't really want the earth as is. Something'll be done soon.
You'll have to just go off and plow another field elsewhere with all the other gardeners that are trying to plant some good seed too, (in a row) if you really want anything fruitful.
Be a watcher.

Both, it's a battlefield in the middle of the Garden and no one cares that they';re stepping all over the new plants and seeds, one bit!
The Meek wil end up with the Earth because they're too shy to stand up and tell anyone that they don't want it.

It is both a battlefield and a garden! However, only the strongest plants (dare we call them weeds?) survive in this particular garden.
Did you know that dandelions can live just about anywhere, even in the middle of a highway, and they are quite nutritious (taste nasty though!).
The meek inherit the Earth? The meek are lucky to survive in this world. Jesus was drinking a little too much wine when He came up with this one!

It is what we think it is. I see the beautiful growth and am so happy, so full of joy in this place that it gives me the courage to work on our dream. Oh the seeds were planted... you said it yourself a garden a crop? Yes, the meek will.

Out of destruction there is much to feed the Earth so that new growth can occur. Yes, my friend, we shall inherit the Earth and renew the garden blighted by despair and blood. Ashes are good for the soil as green sprouts appear after a forest fire.

I. One does not if one has any sense.
2. Not at all likely. All the meek will inherit is a kick in the teeth.

Definitely a garden.
It just feels like a bit of a battle sometimes, but ...
"We are stardust, we are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden"
Of course we scatter the seeds, and of course not all of them 'sprout', some do, inevitably, fall on 'stoney ground', this is the glory of 'Life' in all it's grandeur, we cannot fully appreciate who we really are until we have covered all the possibilities of who we are not. ;-)))
WOODSTOCK
Well I came across a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him tell where are you going
This he told me
Well I am going down to Yasgur's farm
Going to join in a rock and roll band
Goin' to get back to the land to set my soul free
We are stardust, we are golden
We are 2 billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
Well then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a cog in something turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
We are stardust, we are golden
We are 2 billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Yes the meek will inherit the earth what is left of it plus a new heaven and new earth. With God all things are possible, his word does not return to him void but accomplishes what he sends it to do.
