16. The Breath of the Fool
This is certainly a cliché in the realm of the internet, and undoubtedly blasphemous in both religion and science. Let's celebrate. But with Reason.

Sixteen signifies celebration, and the Legal Permission by Authority of Natural Law to do so. There is much of a fixation on the mythological structure of “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” A man, another man, and something that is without relatable translation in words but is understood through experience, regardless of religious affiliation or even moral intelligence. I know this may be controversial, and I recognize that I am breaking the structure as it has been in this series up to this point- but what of the imagery of “Mother, Father, and Child” as seen through a spiritual lens?
The seed was first inert, its potential living within itself as a dream. Through an internal process that was both enzymatic (“mechanical”) and also sentient, the seed became animate- initiated into the seedling phase. A new process became activated, and the seedling was apparently challenged to rise further into its potential (living within itself as a dream) or to simply release from the tension that is existence on the physical plane. Due to the knowledge intrinsic to the Genetic Memory of the seed, the seedling came into an awareness of the “rules of engagement”- beginning first with the dream’s vision, leading to the roots giving a sense of nourishment and stability, now having learned how to leverage this stability to put forth effort to grow upwards. This knowledge, now transferred into application, initiated the seedling into what is now the sprout. Congratulations.
The Genetic Memory is both “All-Loving” and “All-Business.” It exists within the sprout, but it wants to expand upon what it already understands within its knowledge pool. The Genetic Memory recognizes what is necessary for the successful growth and survival of the seed through its life cycle, but this knowledge does not exist within a vacuum. The Genetic Memory holds a relationship with Time. As there are many layers to the complexity that entices sentience to explore the living experience, despite all of the tensions, so too are there layers to the spiritual analogy of “Mother, Father, and Child.”
Because! Just as Genetic Memory (bound to physical nature) can be likened to “Mother,” and Time (bound to ethereal nature) can be likened to “Father,” so too can the Earth (physical substance to nourish) be likened to “Mother”, and the Sun (ethereal substance- light- to nourish) be likened to “Father.”
The seed did not realize that its roots were being developed until the seedling pressurized its container and broke through to the dimension in which they were functionally applied. The seedling did not realize its delicate leaves were being developed as its head until the sprout was no longer pressurized and sprung forth to show its nature. And now- the sprout is coming to understand chlorophyll and all of the enzymatic processes within photosynthesis by means of direct experience: no lecture required. The Earth (Mother) and the Sun (Father) come to learn new depths of love and relation by means of celebrating this unique moment: the sprout coming to show itself, giving rise to a new series of challenges and experiences that will test what is known for the sake of opening into the unknown. The Breath of the Fool: there are the known knowns, there are the known unknowns, and there are the unknown unknowns. This is certainly a cliché in the realm of the internet, and undoubtedly blasphemous in both religion and science. With all of this said! Happy Spring to all who enjoy this writing from the Northern Hemisphere!
