We plant seeds every moment of our lives. Some
seeds manifest faster than others. Take the oak
tree for example; once an acorn is planted it
takes 20 to 50 years before it produces its first crop of
acorns. Then another hundred years before it reaches
middle age; and if it’s lucky it can live for a thousandplus
years like the Seven Sisters Oak in Mandeville,
Louisiana.

Oak or Avocado?
Reap What You Sow
If you haven’t the patience to grow
an oak tree, an avocado tree started
from a seed only takes seven to
15 years.
All this depends on if you are the lucky acorn; only
one in 10,000 will grow up to be an oak tree. Those are
some astronomical odds.
If you’re planting acorns hoping to see that oak tree
grow, I’d go on with your life while you’re waiting.
In California, avocado groves run rampant in the desert
area. If you haven’t the patience to grow an oak tree,
an avocado tree started from a seed only takes seven to
15 years. For myself, I don’t have that kind of patience
(still working on that one);
I’ll just go to the store and
buy one.
Let’s look at the elephant,
once the gestational
seed is planted it takes anywhere
from 610 to 660 days
before that baby elephant
graces this planet. Thank
God I’m not an elephant; the
266 days from conception
to birth with my daughters
was long enough. However,
what about our thoughts;
can they manifest at the
speed of light? I guess that
depends if you’re the Dalai
Lama or Jesus Christ reincarnated.
Most of us are familiar
with the Law of Attraction:
Like begets like. It’s the
epitome of the seed you
reap having everything to
do with what you sow – as

avocado seed and the acorn.
The Law of Attraction is like that law of physics: For
every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction (or
reflection). Every action you take is met in kind. We are
vibrating atoms, neutrons and molecules walking around
in a suit called skin.
In Wayne Dyer’s book There’s A Spiritual Solution for
Every Problem, he discusses frequencies and transitioning
from solid frequencies to the intermediate dimensions of
sound. From sound, we move into the higher frequencies
of light and ultimately to spirit.
Dr. David A. Hawkins came up with a system to measure
these cellular frequencies – or vibrations – known
as the Hawkins scale. Studies have identified the normal
healthy range of the human body is 62-68 Hertz.
Studies show individuals with a common cold had
a cellular frequency of 58Hz or less; for flu it was 57 Hz
or less; for Epstein Barr virus it was 52 Hz. Everyone
measured that had some form of cancer had a cellular
frequency of 42 Hz or less. Clearly, high frequency cells
correspond with better health and ideally everyone should
strive for a frequency of at least 62 Hz.
In our own pursuit of enlightenment, we are trying
to raise our “vibe-o-meters.” How this is achieved varies
