The persona of Your Enchanted Gardener
is something that helps me play a role
where I can enbody my Soul Identity.
At times at conferences, the spirit
of Your Enchanted Gardener comes into me
In this capacity,
I carry the deepest Seed Dreams of humanity in a Silver-looking box.
I take the box to conferences,
and use it in the coaching work
I do with others.
I smile, I ask others if they would
like to breathe in this or that significant herb,
and then I say, "See this Silver Box?"
It contains the Deepest Dreams of Humanity.
Some people get all caught up in how beautiful the box.
THey do not realize that there is something so much more
beautiful inside.
Then I open the box.
I say, "What are your Deepest Dreams doing in my box?"
Please, take your dreams out of this box and plant them.
When you Plant Your Dream
you have become the History of Peace on Earth.

This story was inspired by an favorite tale in a book
called "The Essene Book of Asha" by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely.
From the story:
The king and his retinue turned aside to Zarathustra's
place and saw a man who seemed to be a teacher,
with a group of disciples around him. All were happy
in an orchard and the Master appeared to be instructiong them.
As the King approached the disciples withdrew.
Then the king said to Zarathustra:
"I believe you to be the great Zarathustra and I have
come that you may explain to me the laws of nature
and the universe. If you are as wise a man as my people
declare, this will doubtless not take you long. I cannot tarry,
as I am on my way home from a war and important matters
of state await me at my palace."
Looking at the king, Zarathustra took a grain of wheat
from the earth and gave it to him. "In this small grain
of wheat." he declared, "are contained all the laws of the universe
and the forces of nature." The king was much astonished
by this answer, which he did not understand.
And when he saw smiles on the faces of those around him,
he was angry and threw the grain upon the ground,
thinking that he was being mocked.
And to Zarathurtra he said;
"I believed you were a wise man and a great philosopher,
but I now see that you are a stubbon and ignorant man,
hiding your ingorance beneath the cloak of exaggeration.
I was foolish to waste my time by coming here to see you."
And with that the king turned to depart and rode on to his palace.
Then Zarathustra picked up the grain, saying to his disciples;
"I will keep this grain of wheat, because it will one day
be needed by the king and will be his teacher."
Years later, the king again reached out to Zarathustra
asking for help.
Zarathustra has sent the king a gift wrapped in a leaf
and had asked the messengers to tell him that this was
the teacher who would teach him everything concerning
the forces of nature and the laws of the universe.
"I am not sending one of my disciples," Zarathrustra had said,
"But my own teacher who has taught me all I know about the
laws of life. I trust that the kind will be as apt to learn as
my teacher to teach."
Then the king asked where the teacher was and in reply
the messengers handed him the little gift wrapped in the
leaf. The king opened it and found the same grain of wheat
that Zarathustra had given him before.
He was greatly perturbed by the wheat and thought there
must be something mysterious and magical in it. So he put
it in a golden box and hid it among his treasures. Almost
every day he looked at it, expecting some miracle to happen,
such as the turning of the grain of wheat into something
or someone that would teach him all he wished to know.

The Legend of Zarathustra
