[SolSeed](/SolSeed) < [Seed](/Seed)
A [Seed](/Seed) is a container for storing [Life](/Life) until it is ready to germinate, grow, and develop into its mature form. All [Life](/Life) originates from some form of [Seed](/Seed). Speaking not-very-scientifically, spores, bacteria, eggs, including the fertilized egg that created you, could all be considered kinds of seeds because they all contain the necessary resources and information for [Life](/Life) to take hold and grow.
In purely scientific terms, seeds are small, embryonic plant life (see [Wikipedia:Seed](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed)).
The [SolSeedMovement](/SolSeedMovement) asks us to consider the term more broadly, to contemplate [Life](/Life) in our solar system as a kind of [Seed](/Seed) in storage. Each one of us constitutes an essential component of that [Seed](/Seed), necessary for [Life](/Life) to grow and mature throughout the universe.
This project of nurturing and protecting this [SolSeed](/SolSeed), then ultimately bringing it to other worlds where it can mature is the overarching goal of our organization. See [TheDestiny](/TheDestiny)
### Seed Life Cycles
**[Seed](/Seed):**
Sunlight & growth conditions > seed germination > growth > maturity > reproduction > transmission > the cycle repeats
**[SolSeed](/SolSeed):**
Sunlight & growth conditions on earth > life takes hold > growth and evolution > maturity > reproduction of life forms > transmission by human beings to other worlds > the cycle repeats
### Other Possible Life Scenareos
As we carry out our project of achieving [TheDestiny](/TheDestiny) we come into contact with other (alien) life forms.
In this case, we must consider [SolSeed](/SolSeed) as one [Seed](/Seed) among many in the universe, but one that is cherished and remarkable because it is our own.
