Sacred Seed of Life by Me

[cleverlyconfidential]

Finding Wholeness in Breath

There are moments in life when you encounter an experience so profound, it alters you at your core. For me, this was my recent Breathwave session at an event called Good Medicine, facilitated by Patrick and his incredible team. In that sacred, welcoming space, I connected with myself in a way I had never thought possible—deeply, fully, and unapologetically. For the first time in my life, I felt…

Found this because of @sanddoc06 . No clue where it originally came from, but I had to share it.

"During an archaeological dig in a desert area north of Jerusalem 40 years ago, a seed was discovered which was determined to be in pristine condition but had obviously seen many a year.

Now, despite falling from its parent 1,000 years ago, it has grown into a mature tree, and botanists examining it believe it may be an extinct species that was used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years—even receiving a nod in the Bible.

Neither Israeli botanists, nor Dr. Sarah Sallon, a physician who founded the Louis L. Borick Natural Medicine Research Center at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem, could determine what species it was from simply from the seed covering. So they did what nature intended—they planted it.

Using a well-documented technique that saw 2,000-year-old date palm fruit pits germinate, Dr. Sallon soaked the seed in hormones, liquid fertilizer, and water, and then planted it in a pot of sterile seed; then waited.

Despite its genetic code being exposed to environmental stressors for over 1,000 years, the seed sprouted after 5 weeks. The shoot was protected by a caplike feature called an operculum. As the shoot grew, the operculum was shed—leaving something for the team to radiocarbon date. It narrowed down the age of the almost 10-centuries-old seed to between the years 993 an 1202.

Fast forward 14 years and the plant has become a 10-foot-tall tree. Dr. Sallon shared images of the tree, its bark, and its leaves with botanists around the world. One expert suggested it belonged to the genus Commiphora, found across the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Africa. A genetic analysis subsequently revealed this was the case, but a perfect match was lacking.

Pictured: The tree, now 14 years old.

Dr. Sallon and her team thought it was an extinct species known from history as Judean Balsam, but the best way to confirm that suspicion would be to have some aromatic traces similar to the resins of the myrrh tree to which it is related. However, no such fragrant compounds were detected.

Instead, the chemical analysis of the leaves identified a group of phytochemicals known as guggulterols which have been observed in a related species called Commiphora wightii that’s known to possess certain cancer-fighting properties in its resin.

A medicinal balm, the origin of which is not known, is mentioned in multiple historical texts including the Bible as ‘tsori,’ and rather than the fragrant Judean Balsam, it’s this tsori that Dr. Sallon and her team believe they have found.

They must wait until the tree, now 14 years old, produces flower or fruit to know for sure if it’s an extinct species, and if so, how to perhaps keep it alive.

Dr. Louise Colville, senior research leader in seed and stress biology at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in London who wasn’t involved in the research, told CNN that it was a major accomplishment to grow a seed that old and possibly lead to a resurrection of this Biblical botanical.

“What’s surprising in this story is it was just a single seed and to be able to have one chance for that to germinate is extremely lucky,” she said.

“Working in a seed bank, seeing the potential for that extreme longevity gives us hope that banking and storing seeds that some at least will survive for very long periods of time.”"

Note: This is such a good demonstration of why seed banks are so important!! They give us such real and massive hope for deextinction and the revival of endangered species.

"don't make it political!" .... what proportion of death and suffering must occur before politics are involved. if this isn't political, what is even the point of any politics, ever. of democracy. the words are "by the people for the people." if i am going to be left alone by my elected representatives to "figure it out" - to undergo damage, hardship, fear. what the fuck did i elect them for. what was their job. the entire point is that they handle this shit. this is why we were supposed to be electing leaders.

poverty is political. misogyny is political. gun control is political. climate change is political. how much aid a community gets is political. what the fuck are you talking about. it's been political this whole fucking time.

i keep eating winter melon flavor things to figure out if i like them and the result is inconclusive every time

[blacktoothcomics]

so, i really love this macro in the way your granpda really loves his singing motorized bass fish.

like, it's true because it's funny because it's true, and thus i am delighted by the absurdity? the first friend you make should be yourself. the first partner or child or even parent you should have, needs to be you. you are your practice for other people, does that make sense?

when i was a kid, with undx autism and a CNS auto-immune disease, i was PUNISHED for being SELFISH, and because i was autistic with a CNS disease, punishing me for setting boundaries and saying no had robbed me of the chance to

1) practice confidence in communicating my needs

2) honor other people communicating their needs (made me a bit of a hardass)

3) isolated me from trusting the word of my closest friend and confidante, which was me, my body, my stomach aches, my CNS illness, my texture fatigue and my overstim and my dietary restrictions and my itchiness for wild whirling physical activity (you know, normal kid stuff)

you gotta think, why does that singing bass fish delight grandpa so much? it's so dumb and corny??

well my friends and cousins, that singing bass fish is the husk of your grandfather's enemies. that's the moby dick whale pinned up on the wall and made to sing and dance for our amusement.

grandpa can't fish in the rivers to feed his family, anymore, the pollution is that bad and the over-development of wild areas has decimated local game pops even in the clear lakes.

singing fish on a motorized placard is a hilarious and dark troll on the absurdity of our current reality. don't underestimate grandpas who love soggy corny kitsch, they are actually very smart and jaded too, lmao.

and anyways, understanding me as my own child, parent, friend and partner FIRST has helped me immeasurably, in the friendsmaking arena.

cast aside ye chains of fear, it's not selfish or vain to practice on yourself how you want to develop relationships with other people.

it's just good medicine.
