Lilies
A lily grower's perspective on Creation
The ultimate reason why we derive such personal satisfaction, when we help to generate another unique,
unrepeatable seed, then plant, then germinate, and then nurture another unique seedling to its first flowering age, derives
from our sole entitlement then, each time, as individual persons, to the tangible, quiet, specific personal thanks of our
Supreme digital Mathematician / Scientist / Biochemical Engineer / Artist Creator, for tangibly helping Him, as the co-creators
of the "good" (the digitally appropriate / fitting) in every way, that we are, by our unique human-divine nature.
The good old rule "that we should try to do our best, and then leave the Creator to do the rest," is obviously true,
and very effective.
All of Creation is a very long, vast, symphonic DVD, without the possibility of any exact "Repeats"
/ frame, in which we are all personally unique, essential, symbiotic, and unrepeatable; and under which all have been given unique
Assignments for Credit, including artistic ones, under instruction, and adjudication, with final accountability; that all involve
revealing more of the vast reservoir of latent, intrinsic Order, Harmony, and Beauty that has been programmed into all of Creation.
And this is only a mere temporal taste / glimpse of the rest of it, that will require eternity, for us to learn about and enjoy;
if we earn a good GPA in this brief Course of life.
To be uniquely identifiable, describable, distinguishable, comparable, measurable, fileable, precisely usable,
manageable, and accountable, every created being, process, system, input and output, and overall resultant, has had to be given a
unique barcode/password. The billions of timeless, consistent, reliable, effective mathematical relationships governing Creation,
as its immutable, binding Laws everywhere, could never have been accidents. As John Buell said: "there is on "Chance,
in Chance itself", as any Dice / Card / Computer game / Genetics, shows. Stats can only apply to individuality, under prior,
imprinted constancy, as our Computers confirm. Our Grocery items, our own Social Security / Bank-Credit-Social Cards-Phone
#'s-Email addresses, and our terms of access to this Yahoo List server, confirm the universality of this requirement. There
can only be one "Right" way of dialing up any resultant; as summed up in the Cause to Effect relationship.
All else is wrong; and we must "pay the bill" for all our misdialing on long distance! This is summed up in the
tragically "messed-up", unhappy lives of most humans, throughout History, never more so than today!
Digital Facts, the Truth, are the only realities, recognized by Nature and it's Creator. The rest, as
opinions and whims, are only human illusions and delusions, mostly ancient, ignorant, stupid, and too often, perverse and
destructive (as our Daily News confirms), to the harmony inherent to the Symphony of Creation. Opinions are only a
last-resort option to use, in the justified absence of facts. But today, they rule our world, to its great sorrow.
I think that a major function of the Digital Age, to which virtually all of mankind is now being rapidly,
firmly addicted to, in Physics, the first, largest and lowest of the practical sciences, with many great benefits, expresses
a desperate, perhaps last effort, by our Creator / Employer, to try to reverse our overall disgraceful human Track-Record in
History, by inducing us to act logically, truthfully, competently, promptly, and digitally, throughout all aspects of our lives,
right up through the Moral, to the Spiritual orders, from which the dependent lower sciences had to devolve long ago.
Our primeval, perennial favourite, Subjectivism in objective issues, and feigned Objectivism in subjective,
superficial issues, has been declared to be globally absurd, and obsolete, henceforth. And all the ancient barriers to human
communications, have just been removed, per the Cell-Phone, Internet etc. All our preferred alibis, from ignorance, and sloth,
have been taken away, at long last! If we humans had done our work better, earlier, the Digital Age might have come a millennium ago!.
The Creator's infinite Patience, seems to have almost been exhausted! Now we will go to Judgment, with some
awkward questions to answer, if we do not logically, digitally behave ourselves, throughout all aspects of our conscious lives,
henceforth. Professor God's 6000 + years Course for humans may be almost over; and I cannot foresee it being repeated, to mostly
disinterested, mutinous students!
Each time that we help to bring into publication, for the first time ever, of another of the almost infinite,
latent individual, unique expressions of His Beauty, that each seed carries, that are hidden in the gene-pools, of all living
beings, and then transcendentally (immaterially) finally in the creative ideas, values, and noble "works of Art"
of ourselves, as His children, students, and staff, we alone can personally receive such a reward; that has to be so earned.
It can never be inherited, otherwise received, bought, stolen, or just accidentally found, on the paths of life.
Most people in History have chosen to deny themselves this opportunity; and hence they have disentitled
themselves, to the inspirations, contentment, delights, peace and happiness that alone, can be earned this way, through good
achievements, in co-operative projects with their Creator/ Employer / Loving Father.
My keenness to get up at dawn, or earlier (usually about 4:30-5am each Spring to early Winter day, so that
I can have my breakfast before daylight!), to allow me in the Summertime to Fall, to excitedly see the latest new lilies etc.,
open their often pretty buds, to reveal their till-then hidden glory, is thus quite understandable. It is in response to
that uniquely personal Invitation from the Creator, to come alone, to the Show of His latest living Work of Art, at sunrise,
in my bushland "Secret Garden", where I grow my seedlings, that is always very inspiring, comforting and rewarding.
The certain, exhilarating knowledge that no-one else, but me, that day, or anyone ever again, in all of
Human History, will have received, or ever will receive, a precious personal Invitation to that particular glorious Art Show,
is what keeps me persevering in producing new Delphiniums, and Lilies, mostly Martagons; that require all the virtues of
patience, perseverance, etc, with hard, good work, in us, if we are ever to see a new one, that we helped to create for us,
and others to enjoy, during our lives. But when they flower, they are all well worth the efforts involved from us, in
co-ordination with the Creator's pre-programmed proxy, Nature.
Such a system applies throughout all the orders, aspects, and acts of our lives. It is the pre-requisite
of satisfaction, harmony, peace, total well-being, and finally joy, in our lives. Wisdom requires us to find, recognize, and
cultivate its benefits, wherever and whenever we can; including very tangibly, in our greenhouses and gardens.
With my general gardening activities, it has sustained me, in good health and spirits, over many past years of sad, stressful
times, caring for my dear late wife, with AZD. Now I am very well, vigorous, busy, at peace, with inner joy, and external
serenity. And hopefully, that this situation will continue, for the rest of my days.
So let us all keep at it, to the best of our abilities, assured that we will be amply rewarded, for all our humble
"Tries", to achieve any, and all of our good goals in life.
