ABOUT MULTI-CROPPING
Thought Adjuster: “A well-seasoned farmer thoroughly understands the fundamentals of gardening. Not only does he benefit from the collective generational knowledge, but he also gains in expertise by personal experience. To determine the type of crops he will grow, he studies the soil composition, taking into account the sun exposure, as well as the fluctuations of the weather patterns.
“How does a wannabee-grower of the fruits of the spirit tend to the garden of his soul? First of all, he has to be very clear that such fruits are yielded through multi-cropping—not monoculture.
“And the fruits of the divine spirit [...] are: loving service, unselfish devotion, courageous loyalty, sincere fairness, enlightened honesty, undying hope, confiding trust, merciful ministry, unfailing goodness, forgiving tolerance, and enduring peace. [UB 193:2:2]
“Those are the spiritual crops that will turn your soul into a breathtaking and awe-inspiring inner Garden of Eden—as exemplified by the outstanding attributes of Jesus’ character.
“Secondly, you need to pinpoint which emotions and demeanors are detrimental to your tender spiritual crops, acting as undiscriminating weed-killers that jeopardize the livelihood of everything they chance to land on.
“Impatience is a spirit poison; anger is like a stone hurled into a hornet’s nest. [UB 48:7:19]Add pride, fear, greed, lust for power, war-madness, and jealousy to the blend, and you will get a highly volatile concoction that endangers life in general—not just the targeted weeds.
“Your soul is the rich terroir you set out to cultivate under the irrigation system of love. Your unstable emotions are the often-unpredictable climatic turbulences.
“I dwell within you to act as your Expert Consultant in the matters of the soul. I know the ins- and outs- of your persona and will help you identify and uproot once and for all the invasive weeds.
