Matthew 13: like 18 - something, seeds

[GerWat]

A thought occurred to me as I was reading this passage about the Sewer and his seeds.  Want to know what you think.

The seeds are ideas, ideals and whatnot that God feeds the human race, the world.  Some people don't get it at all and continue on producing evil or selfish deeds.  Some people do well with these producing some or many good deeds.  It's not a harvest of individual souls that God is after but a harvest of good deeds.

This is why Gary can say the lake of fire by the door to Heaven is for us to leave the evil parts of our makeup.

Another spiritual savant I know of, Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis, said all of our thoughts become spirits with a life of their own, for good or ill, are fed and grow as entertain them, for good or ill.  This is just another way of saying the same thing.

We are gods, Jesus said so, right?  So this is our main purpose for existence, to create good.

Hmm?

" It's not a harvest of individual souls that God is after but a harvest of good deeds."

Interesting question.
Wasn't Jesus talking specifically to the disciples after pointing out that He was speaking in parables so that people would not understand Him unless He revealed what He was talking about?

I.M.O we are individuals. We are children of God because of Christ and through Christ.
The good deeds are the work of Christ through us, not personal works but His.
The rocky ground is all the religious differences that distract us from that truth.
The rich soil has had all the weeds, rocks etc removed- that is done by the sower.
He sows, He reaps, He nourishes, the seed does not germinate until it dies; THEN it bears fruit.
Part of His plan for us.
