The Mighty Templar Tree

Mighty Oak San Felipe TX

There is a Zen belief that within every acorn exists both the seed and the mighty Oak. The seed germinates; power emanates out of nothingness of the tiny seed, but the mighty tree which the seed is to become draws forth wishes- desires the seed to fulfill its potential as well. Unseen forces work from both above and below in the creation process… from both pure potential and fully actualized.

 
This also applies to the Templar Fellowship of America. The TFA began as a seed of hope for a global Templar network in the hearts of several Templars, which grew into a tender seedling and is now a sapling with fresh branches and deepening roots.
 

Just as the mighty oak beckons itself forth from the tiny acorn, so the Templar Way of innovation, introspection, interconnection and excellence in all finds its potential in the Templar Fellowship of America, with time, attention, care and optimism, the TFA will continue to strive toward the ideals put forth by the Templar saints who now reside among the starry branches of the great Templar oak. And then someday, the Templar Fellowship will serve Templars around the globe under the banner of Light.

Faith as Potential
How true!

Faith in the acorn is amazing.

The way I see it, spiritual potential exists within the acorn to become the mighty oak.

I believe that spiritual nature of the seed is synonymous seeing the potential within the seed. Some call this faith, others-knowledge, others-Gnosis, Katanoisis, and even Sophia... depending on which path is taken in arriving at the observation.

Regardless of the label, the essence remains eternal!

Best Regards,
Sophia

I believe this cloistered mystic used the acorn as a symbol of deep faith. One may hold the small acorn in their palm and wonder at the hard shelled seed, but it is through faith that we know there is an oak tree in there
Truths are universal
