There are 4 stages of spiritual growth. The first is when the seed is planted. The seed doesn’t know what’s out there. It’s buried and cannot see. Its entire world lies within the boundaries of its own shell. It doesn’t know what it doesn’t know.

Then something happens. Inside its shell, life begins growing. Life pushes the outer walls of the seed’s perceptive barriers until a breakthrough happens–and the shell cracks open. Now it knows there’s more than it knows.

The third stage is emergence. The seed’s growth pushes itself toward the light above the surface while rooting itself firmly to be grounded. It hasn’t even seen it yet, but it knows the light’s there.

Life masters its growth in the fourth (but not final) stage. It not only grows into a new world it is not fully aware of, but it also plants seeds of awareness to grow into an awakened community. The seed is now a forest of life supporting and communicating with each other. Connected. Self-aware while also aware of how all life is affected. Without even knowing how it is–it just is.

2020 is cracking open the shell of humanity. Your perceptive filters are about to widen. We are on the verge of the kind of growth that nobody even knows yet what it is. We’re about to begin our emergence beyond the surface, knowing there’s a light above but still blind.

This is where we are. So don’t give up yet. Everything happening was only to get you to open your shell. What’s next is up to you. It is time to emerge.
