Sugar was never so sweet July 6, 2011

The thing that a bee profits from the most is that it derives its sustenance from the very parts of a plant that are pervaded by the plant’s love life. The bee sucks its nourishment, which it makes into honey, from the parts of a plant that are steeped in love life. And the bee, if you could express it this way, brings love life from the flowers into the beehive. So you’ll come to the conclusion that you need to study the life of bees from the standpoint of the soul.

You can study the matter further by eating the honey. What does the honey do? . . . Honey creates sensual pleasure, at the most, on the tongue. At the moment when you eat honey, it creates the proper connection and relationship between the airy and fluid elements in the human being. There is nothing better for a human being than to add a little honey in the right quantity to food . . . it makes human beings strong.

 Whoever looks at a beehive should actually say with an exalted frame of mind, “Making this detour by way of the beehive, the entire cosmos can find its way into human beings and help to make them sound in mind and body.”

The day after I left the hot sultry Ozarks for Lotus Land, Qik harvested 3 gallons of honey from 1 of the hives. Though I wasn’t there, I still wanted to share the wonders.

Honey is the magic elixer in our home.   Bad burn?  Honey.  Deep wound?  Honey.  Can’t sleep?  Honey.  Emotional, mental, spiritual or physical upset?  Honey!
