  Awakening ,   Self-Awareness – reflections on conscious living & inner growth The Seed and the Bloom of the Soul Introduction Every seed holds a mystery. To the eye, it seems small, closed, and lifeless, yet within it lives the promise of another dimension. The moment a seed sprouts, it begins a journey of astonishment, a passage from silence into growth, from hiddenness into revelation. The story of the seed is the story of every soul. “The lost is never lost — it is becoming.” The Sprout’s Astonishment When the seed first cracks open and becomes a sprout, it enters a world entirely different from its seed form. It looks back in wonder: “When I was a seed, how simple was my life. Now I am a sprout, and my journey has begun.” The sprout does not yet know what it will become, but it feels the mystery of transformation, the first whisper of possibility.
