# The Seed [[The Disease of Fear|And he said, "Fear, deep rotting fear."]] Within you are the great stories of the past. Not only _your_ past life, but also that of your great ancestors—those whose gene lines have survived until you, and will continue to survive through you. These gems are there within you. To drive your life in any direction you choose to. But you must choose wisely, because your choice ought to align with reality—any deviations are bound to cause problems. > _"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."_ > — Jeremiah 29:11 The gem, the stem cells are within you—those you can employ to write a new story. For you to morph the [[Information Geometry|Geodesic]] of your life. Your job is very simple. It is to identify who you wanna become. Then to inquire within, to ask for the gem to root itself within you and take shape. ``` Spiraling Toward Unity ◈ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ◇ ◆ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ◊ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ● ◆ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ■ │ ↓ ◈ Sati (Mindfulness) ◇ Dhamma Vicaya (Investigation) ◆ Viriya (Energy) ◊ Pīti (Joy) ● Passaddhi (Tranquility) ◆ Samādhi (Concentration) ■ Upekkhā (Equanimity) ``` > *"Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear."* > — Quran 2:286 _[[The Disease of Fear|so my Son, let go of that fear before we go back to the village]]_ --- > [[Come People of the World - Vipassana Dohas|Day 11: May the merits I have acquired be shared by one and all.
