The Importance of Embedding Life

If you only have the words of a doctrine, then you really just have the seed. And seeds are designed to break open and burst forth into this totally different thing that you never thought it would look like. Once you have the flower, you won't even remember the seed in some sense. The flower doesn't even bear a trace of the seed, except that it then produces more and more seeds,. That then grow into more and more flowers.
