Inhaltsangabe

Inspired by physicist and environmental leader Dr. Vandana Shiva, this collection of essays draw on the wisdom of ancient and modern traditions to remind readers of the profound sacredness of the seed—how in its purity, it is the source and renewal of all of life. For centuries the planting of the seed in the earth not only nourished humanity, but also symbolized the mystery of life and the journey of the soul. Yet, modern culture has begun to lose an appreciation of the primal meaning of the seed. Tenderly created from original writings of mystics, shamans, monastics, and priests, and featuring vibrant photos, this book bears witness that the Earth is alive, and establishes that only by working together with the earth—with its wonder and mystery—can we help in its healing and regeneration and once again bring meaning back into the world. The book includes contributions from His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, H. H. the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje, Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Pir Zia Inayat-Khan, Swami Veda Bharati, Rabbi Arthur Waskow, Chief Tamale Bwoya, Blu Greenberg, and others.

CHAPTER 1

SACRED SEED — THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN TRADITION

His All Holiness, Bartholomew, Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch


Every seed contains the potential to save the world. Each seed can keep millions of people from starvation. Each seed is a mirror and guardian of the world's future. Each seed is the ecology that can sustain the economy. This is why seeds are sacred and why they are traditionally believed to be miraculous in indigenous circles.

In Christian scripture, theology, and tradition, seeds assume a divine dimension, ascribed to and describing the very Son and Word of God. The divine Word is mysteriously planted in people's hearts, where it calls for proper care and nurture in order to bear fruit. Thus, in the Gospel according to Luke, Jesus Christ tells the following parable:

A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell on the path and was trampled on
