We found a local Bunya nut a few weeks ago. It was lots bigger than my head, spikey and sappy when we carried it up the hill. It was really heavy and we were intrigued to find out how it would ‘open’ and what the seeds would be like. It was the first time we had ever seen one of these extraordinary specimens.
My suggestion is to never sleep under a bunya pine when it is fruiting.
It is so exciting how many things God has created for us to discover and to figure out how they work, God’s abundance and variety blows me away.
I didn’t get a photograph of the Bunya Nut whole, but below are some photographs of it in parts and seeding.
It all just flaked apart and produced a number of seeds and a lot of mulch.
Pete found the following link written by Bruce Perkins, that has some interesting ideas to consider in regards to ‘fireless forests’ – bunya and hoop pines are species of these types of forests.
Thank you so much Jesus and Mary for preparing and Jesus for presenting the Assistance Group giving us a true ‘Education in Love’! I am so grateful to you both!
It is very easy to get excited about God’s Truth when I listen to Jesus and Mary share and being out of my ‘every day’ life gives me an opportunity to often see things more clearly. It is when I get back home and the unhealed emotional and physical stresses and pressures are more pronounced that I see where I am really at!
The most exciting bit about the assistance Jesus gave was that I got more of a solid understanding about a super amazing gift, and HOW TO develop it in harmony with God’s Truth and Love, that each of us has been given by God called our Will or ‘FreeWill’.
I felt pretty excited about that.
Unfortunately there hasn’t been that much logical or useful education on how to develop this gift in my life, until now (well until a few years ago when Jesus first publicly presented some invaluable information on the subject, see link below) I personally overlooked the importance of developing my Will to Love as God Loves – big mistake.
I have often used my Will ‘willynilly’ so to speak, or made choices to try and ‘give it away’ letting others make decisions for me, used it to get my emotional and physical addictions met rather than to Love as God Loves or chose to try to not use it at all (all CHOICES I have been making). Until relatively recently I didn’t realise I actually had a Will and what a gift it is.
Most of us don’t understand the power of this gift, if we did we would be a lot happier and life would be far more wondrous than mine currently is at this time. I hope that one day the God’s Truth about the gift of Free Will becomes part of mainstream education programs for children and adults alike.
If you are interested in specific, to the point, logical answers to the following questions:
What is my FreeWill? What’s so great about it? How it impacts myself and others? Why would I want to develop my Will in a positive direction & ‘How To’?
How do I develop my Will to Love as God Loves?
How to measure the results and changes, among all sorts of other awesomeness,
How to develop the desire to receive God’s Love and God’s Truth, personally, ALL THE TIME?
If each of us made the choice to use our Will in a positive direction, in harmony with God’s Laws and Love the world has the potential for exponential positive change!
I’m excited to begin to develop my Will to Love and find out why I haven’t done so wholeheartedly before now!!
