The Apple In The Field I was visiting Findhorn last year, staying at a lovely B&B called 'Rainbow Lodge'. One of the guests who was leaving the community and moving back to Australia had just been to the local Safeway market. While there she had picked up a few very large red apples. Though they said they were organically grown, she still wondered how they remained so fresh when the ones in the Park Store (the little store run by Findhorn Foundation that provides all organic, non altered food) weren’t as appealing and seemed to 'fade' in a shorter time. She had read about the new trend of radiating food to keep it fresher longer. Since she didn’t really want to eat apple that wasn’t all natural she wondered if I would ask it if it had been radiated and if so what that did to it. This is the answer I received. Q: Is radiating our food destroying or altering it in any way?A: The apple presented has changed in the fact that what it was is indeed not what it was. The facts given to you are not what is needed by any being on this or any other world because what changes you or I or anything that is not known as natural will change eventually everything that is. In the case of the apple presented. Once it grew free in the field. True the pesticides or other implements were alleviated and all went as planned but with the incoming annoyances offered and the disappointments of others came the induction of things as these. This apple such as it is will change the chemistry of all that injest it, because it was not grown where it was free. This would (not only) also alter all that ingested it but shall also alter ones that desire to become one with Nature. For to remove that spark that connects you with this kingdom, one must ingest it with this intent. If that intent is removed then the connection is lost and the connection between man and Nature no longer survives. Nature is giving and in her wisdom has offered you all that is needed to sustain your race. It has provided through the years everything needed to become what was needed to survive and sustain all on their quest in your world. Yet in your haste to change things, you accept that changing what we have given shall bring you more. (But instead) shall become again what shall change you into something far different than what you assume today.
Nature is a gift and what she provides should be taken as such. To reject such is to challenge her. This is not possible and thus this must be said. All will and shall become what is not desired unless ones realize that what they desire is not what shall be. For Nature speaks in ways that shall challenge all that upset their ways.
We ask that you abide by her rules and submit only to what she provides. To resist will only cause you and all you love to become something different. Release the perfection and realize that all things are as they should be. We alone rule this place and others may change this but in the end we shall survive. Shall you? We do not know but we ask that you honor the gift that she has given and the life that she has provided. For to alter anything is to change their path and with that yours. Each has chosen their course and this is not what Nature has chosen.
