The mighty oak tree is within the tiny acorn.  The magnificent butterfly is within the lowly caterpillar.   The great world leader is within the small child.  It is all potential.

Yusef speaks of the potential for change and growth that is within each person. He assures us that even though growth may seem impossible, the potential is there nonetheless.

Who, after all, can envision an oak tree from a small acorn, a butterfly from a caterpillar? If you weren’t aware of the cocoon, could you believe it?  And how can YOU become something more, or different, than you are right now?

YUSEF:

Growth is not a matter of chance.  It is the effort each organism, and each part of the organism, makes to push past the restraining forces.  The seed must push out of its restraining shell in order to become the tree.  The seed pod is often stronger than the new growth straining to be free.  It takes the external force of water or an animal or something else to assist in breaking down the barrier to growth.  To the seed this may even be a violent episode.  And yet the result is the freeing of the life within to grow.

The life you enter [on the Earth] is in itself a restraining force, as most persons believe what the senses communicate and forget that you have a direct connection, a conduit, to all knowledge.  If you could imagine all that is possible, if each person were open to that source of knowledge, it would change life as you know it.  Each person would receive the information they need to contribute to the overall body of knowledge on the Earth.

It is happening more and more, and changes are becoming more dramatic, but the potential for growth is so beyond your understanding right now that you could not imagine the possibilities of life in the full, the “Kingdom” on Earth.  We wish this for you.  We wish to share the great unfathomable joy we know.
