J said, "Look, the sower went out, took a handful of seeds and scattered them. Some fell on the road, and the birds came and ate them. Others fell on the rocks, and they didn't take root and didn't produce grain. Others fell on the thorns, and they choked the seed and the worms ate them. And others fell on good soil, and it produced a good crop; it yielded sixty per measure and one hundred and twenty per measure."

This is ofcourse in other variants a well known parable, and it provides yet another image to express the idea that the seeds of our newfound spirituality which Jesus seeds liberally don't grow well in the ego's soil, but when we start following Jesus and provide it with the right soil, it will yield surprising results.
