Mark 4:13 -
And he said to them,
“Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?
From this one verse, we can understand that the parable of the sower acts like a key that helps us understand the other parables.
So the parable of the sower is very very very important!
It acts, then, I suspect - as a sort of key that explains and helps learn all the other hidden teachings in many of the other parables of Christ.
And one of my current questions is: why was this not spoken as the first parable?
Before you are pondering that, let's get back to the general characteristics of the parable of the sower.
There are 4 versions of this parable, one each in the four popular gospels. Each of these versions comes with accompanying parables which expand and build off of the parable of the sower.
Each version of PoS (Parable of the Sower) is followed by, or is associated with, a teaching about lamplight and/or eyesight (thereby). This is so for each version, interestingly, except in Matthew's. Notwithstanding, Matthew's gospel still includes lamplight-related parables taught by the Messiah during other sessions than POS. And lamplight parable(s) in Matthew is/are related to POS, and with other lamplight parables, but they were spoken in other locations/times/sessions. They "branch off" of POS but are taught in other times/places/sessions.
The man called Job has been many times compared and evaluated as similar to Jesus. They are similar for their commendations as righteous and their role as a blameless but suffering servant. Jesus may have some spiritual reincarnational association to Job in a similar manner to that relationship between John the Baptist and Elijah. Interestingly then, Job may have spoken his own retro-"addition" to the POS, albeit I've only found a part that focuses on the weeds in POS. It is in Job 31, as Job's final speech before the Deity appears to speak to him, and also before Elihu speaks.
Therefore, this Jobic section has an important placement, coming before: "the words of Job are ended." It seems to mainly be a list of conditions which could cause weeds/thorns to grow instead of grains. Although, after all that Job has been through, losing his children, and most of his wealth and health, he likely is not focused on physical wheat growing, especially as his final argument/speech in the aftermath of the disasters and trouble that were upon him. This may be about, like POS, seeds grown in the heart, a more spiritual perspective, probably not so concerned about physical grain and weeds. His "retro-addition" may provide insight to the POS, especially given his association to Christ.
As stated before, in 3 of the 4 gospels the POS and/or its explanation, immediately transitions to or from a teaching about lamplight or eyesight. And these are related; Matthew 6:22 & Luke 11:34. It makes a logical sense that the POS may be the cause of the lamplight (and so also eyesight in John's gospel), specifically the result of the 30-60-100 consequences or 100-fold consequence at the ends of those respective parables.
To what kind of sight was the Messiah referring? How could fully grown crops cause sight? Since many of his audience could see physically, perhaps maybe this meant vision spiritually or mentally?
The seed sown onto the good soil, that grew a useful crop, was explained as those who heard the word and understood it. That is, they would have had some useful interpretation of the word that was sown. Visually, this could be a useful visualization or visual interpretation (or extrapolative visual interpretation) of that word. When a word or symbol is seen or heard, it is the interpretation and/or useful or correct interpretation that makes it useful. How could the symbol, or in the case of words, a sequence and combination of symbols, be useful without any interpretation, or even with an interpretation but without a useful interpretation? Perhaps then some of the versions of POS describe processes, which may not be conscious, of a heard word (or symbol(s) perceived generally?) growing into one or more useful interpretations of that word, and in the scenario of lamplight, that which triggers visual phenomena.
I mean, also notice in John's version of POS, which is remarkably shorter but still about harvesting from fields; the Messiah stated the fields would be white when looking at them from a specific way. And already ready for harvest, instead of having to wait for crops to grow for the harvest as in the other 3 versions of POS in the other gospels.
Why then speak of a field of what seems to be grain and/or weeds? And why are multiple seeds sown? And what are the specificities of the numerical consequences of the fruitful crops in the good soil?
I believe that the crops in the field in POS, relates to the monologue spoken by the Deity in Job. Specifically in Job 39:4, that type of animalian's children multiply in grain. If spiritually interpreted, the heart-field of POS may be able to provide grain (in the specific numerical manners provided in those versions of POS), for the animalians which are mentioned by the Deity. You can read about animalians and their possible associations to directions in "4D", in another article on this blog. If my sub-theory about animalians is accurate, then the spiritual crops/grain which are growable in the heart, allows COE or consciousness to go from the "4D" direction of "common visualization" (yuhly/ayluth/mountain goats/deer) then towards the "4D" direction of out-of-body (OBE) experience and its visualizations (pra/uhrud/wild-donkey/onager/swift-donkey), also associated with what is sometimes called astral projection. This idea coincides well with the lamplight likely being the allowance of the ability to see what is not necessarily viewable or accessible only to regular physical senses. This type of seeing would be different from visualization from the perspective from the physical body ("mountain goat direction"), and different from the perspective of the visualization back to the physical body ("deer direction"). Instead. It would be a visualization "shining an eye-lamplight" into the darkness/non-perception of what could be visualized from the perspective of the attached-imagination toward the detached-imagination (like an OBE's perspective) ("donkey/onager direction").
Researching astral projection and OBE, will disclose from many firsthand corroborations and accounts, that distance and sometimes force or effort is needed for at least some consciousness to break free from the confinements and bindings of the physical body. How much force/distance may be related to the numerical significances of the endings of various versions of POS. Namely, I believe that the 30 may also be related to Jonah, the 60 to Solomon, and the 100 to Christ himself. More than a few times, lamplight in the Messiah's teaching, is related to these three numbers perhaps, by way of relation to Jonah, Solomon, and Christ Himself being the greater of them, or relating to them in a seemingly indirect way in a tripartite structuring of concepts, sometimes varying the order which may be according to each specific "5D" direction that the lamplight shines into, which may explain the reverse order of 30-60-100 in Matthew and Mark as being mutually reverse "5D" directions in which a lamp-eye can shine. In Song of Solomon (or Song of Songs), the number 60 is distinctively associated to Solomon. I have yet to find the specific explanation for the 30 being related to Jonah, but I suspect that it relates to that Jonah technically had an OBE (or in his case a death or near-death experience) during Jonah's death. Song of Solomon refers possibly to Solomon's interaction with an OBE in which his consciousness goes into the wilderness (you can read the related article on this blog). In this subtheory, the numbers could correspond to distances and/or potency of OBE, consciousness perhaps in the "4D" "donkey direction", while the sequence of the numbers (or their corresponding concepts) may correspond to a "5D" direction in which a lamp-eye can shine. I have found a few directions, but I presume there would be at least 6, one "5D" direction for each sequence of the numbers 30-60-100 or their corresponding concepts, like Jonah-Solomon-Christ, which you may find in other places in Christ's teaching in the gospels.
A heart can have a definite limit, and whether that limit can be modified, or alternates passively, or otherwise could change, I have yet to learn. Luke 6:45, Matthew 12:34. However, if any wave-like activity can occur in a heart, and if the heart has (an) ROS('s), then it could be subject to cymatic behavior and techniques for using that behavior. Perhaps "higher-dimensional" cymatic activity could be also described in POS. Maybe seeds could be form nodes or form repeating patterns which appear like multiple occurrences of the same "plant" of specific numerical amounts according to the generating pattern of the seed, and depending on that heart-field's ROS's / capacity. If so, the POS could provide usefully specific numbers and dimensions explicitly and inferentially.
