The beloved tomato is the one fruit many still think is a vegetable. Few also realize that tomatoes were one of the first commercially available genetically modified (GM) crops ever. Under the guise of incorporating healthier and concentrated natural compounds, GM tomatoes are about to make a comeback on new research that aims to pack in the same amount of resveratrol as 50 bottles of red wine into one tomato.

Earlier forms of this GM crop included the transgenic tomato (FlavrSavr) which had a “deactivated” gene. This meant that the tomato plant was no longer able to produce polygalacturonase, an enzyme involved in fruit softening. The premise was that tomatoes could be left to ripen on the vine and still have a long shelf life, thus allowing them to develop their full flavour. Normally, tomatoes are picked well before they are ripe and are then ripened artificially.

What scares you off? What do you resign yourself to as some fundamental reality regarding the powers that appear to be and what you can or cannot do about yours or humanity’s situation? More subtly, what makes you stand back in an intimidated state of awe-stricken wonder, whether consciously or subconsciously?

Scarecrow’s are straw dummies, crude approximations of humans hanging on a stick to scare away crows and other predators from feeding on farmers’ crops. Sound familiar?

We can see it today in society, and it’s worked for millennia. This cowered sense of frozen resignation to self appointed higher powers ruling mankind is rampant in the human psyche. This is all due to their perceived superior capabilities, supposed heritage, and assumed occult and perhaps inter-dimensional powers, all baked in massive amounts of oppressive hubris.

“The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.” ~ Lao Tzu

After climbing through the jungle, making my way through the grueling forest, dense and bewildering with trails, I came to a clearing on a ridge, on what I sensed must be the very top of the great mountain in the clouds. And as I made my way to the ridgetop and clearing, I saw that this was not the top. I saw it was beautiful and magnificent, but it was after all only a plateau. And from the plateau above the bewildering and winding complex of trails I now stood, I could see in the distance what could only be assumed at this point to be the peak. Perhaps there was a mountain more massive behind it too.

And on the story goes…

If you started thinking of alignment as a-love-ment, you would willingly position yourself, and lead yourself, from a place that feels and creates all things wonderful. ~Archangel Gabriel

Sun drawing close to the end of Scorpio, along with South Node in the anaretic degree of Pisces, gives a sense of plunging into watery depths this week. The past most certainly can be added to the intense, transcending watery theme, with the adamantine Saturn forming a subtle aspect to a preponderant Hades (Transneptunian) all week. No doubt that the amorphous Neptune meandering through his home sign Pisces also adds to the watery feel in the transits.

God said:

What you see is what you get. You may see that you are surrounded with challenges. That’s how you see it. I do not ask you to kid yourself. Life in the world is not always easy. Sometimes My children find life very difficult.

You can rearrange your thoughts and come from a vaster vision. At present, you can see only so far.

What I am suggesting is that you be open to the possibility that even on the hardest days of the drama you play a part in, life is a blessing. Certainly life on Earth is strewn with blessings. Life is a gift you are given. Even what you would undo if you could has the earmarks of a blessing within it. When the blessings are hidden, you can look for them.

Nothing is the undoing of you unless you kowtow to that idea and hold yourself up as forlorn. Naturally, you focus on your life, yet there are other lives out there, and you can get your mind off yourself and become your own blessing. It is inadvisable for you to look for fault. It is inadvisable for you to be on the look-out for anything you don’t desire.

Yet My children seem to be in waiting for misfortune of one kind or another to drop at their feet. Instead, anticipate good fortune, health, and sunshine. You can do it. Have you been waiting for the doldrums? Have you been waiting for an axe to fall? Have you been currying the favor of what you call mistakes?

Make way for happiness. Encourage happiness. Bet on it.
