"To take root," "to blossom and bud," are both images of growth and expansion that God initiates and causes to take place. But to "fill the face of the world with fruit" is more than this. It is to cause abundance to be present on the earth so that all can be fed.

    The kind of growth that God has in mind for mankind is the flowering of the spirit - the unfoldment of the petals of the soul which allows an individual both to become more themselves, and to carry more of God's light and love. This blossoming simultaneously creates an experience of inner healing while at the same time it ensures that "all be fed." 

    It is because purification allows one to embody the healing that the world can be nourished. Without the embodiment, healing is just an idea, not a means to bring the world from darkness to light. Purification involves deliberate efforts to increase one's capacity to embody God's sacred reality not for the self alone, but for God's sake, for love's sake, for the purpose of universal nourishment, universal redemption - the healing and upliftment of a planet. 

    Those who seek to purify, in some deep place within themselves want to be of greater service to God and to man. They seek to align themselves with Divine will and with the goal of God's plan for Creation - the healing of the earth. In order to do this, each must learn to bear the pain, joy, and responsibility of self-knowledge; the pain, joy, and responsibility of discovering all that one is - both the darkness and the light within. The goal of purification is to release the darkness in order to become what is most essential - the holy, light-filled core of one's being. This core is the reason for which we were created. It is God's purpose for us in the deepest possible sense. As we become more of our essence, we discover that God's purpose for us is a holy purpose; it is our reason for existing. At the deepest level of truth we find that God's purpose for us and our own purpose for ourselves are identical. Each of us is here to become love. Each of us is here to spread love. Each of us is here to contribute to the healing of the earth so that all can be fed.
