Jer. 31:12

The analogy of a spiritual garden has long been used to explain our role in the creative process of Life. Jesus used it extensively in his parables, and New Thought teachers have also used the analogy of a concept as a seed of thought. Ernest Holmes carries the allusion further, comparing a gardeners care of the soil with caring for one 's soul. Just as the soil is a field wherein the creative intelligence of Life works, so also is your soul a field of creativity and intelligence. It is here that the Life of God flows through you, becoming for you that which It can become through you, according to what you believe about yourself. Just as a garden plot exists within the whole of Nature, what we call our soul is our use of the universal Soul of Life, for there is no separation within an infinite Life. Our life is the Life we call God. Your soul is a spiritual garden within the perfect nature of God. Your garden is creative because it is the nature of Life to create. Your thought is creative in the same way a seed is creative: it provides the limits through which the limitless Life is expressed.
