Don’t Ask

Some things are better left unsaid.

Most of us have heard this many times throughout our lives.  Sage advice reminds us to keep our mouth shut in order to avoid potentially offensive words toward our fellow human beings.  It would be prudent for us to consider the same sentiment regarding the process of creation.  Being privy to the heart’s desire of someone who has shared their dreams with us is an invitation to proceed respectfully.

Creators get excited about the indications that an intended outcome may manifest in the near future.  Naturally, they want to share this potential development with a fellow human being that is aware of their intended creation.  When time passes and their hopeful prediction has not yet been realized, well-intentioned queries from interested parties are inevitable.  These inquiries can often change the energy pattern by introducing a thread of doubt and quite possibly contribute to the delay.

Of course, we always mean well.  In a situation where we know that a fellow being has started a new business venture, we certainly would like to express our encouragement by asking how things are going.

We might say something like, “Any prospective clients yet?”

Really?

The energy of this form of question is about as helpful as asking a couple who is trying to conceive a child if they are pregnant yet.

I have to remind myself that a good witch is ever mindful of the appropriate time to keep her mouth closed.  Offering silent energy that is loving and supportive toward a fellow being is so much more productive than asking a ridiculous question.  Someone who is in the process of concentrating their intentions toward a desired outcome may already be dealing with their own questions of self-doubt.  The additional energy of a pointless inquiry is never required.

After all, when a friend has trusted me with their dream, I should think that they will be sure to let me know as soon as their dream has come true:)

    Ms. Bean,
    Perfectly said! I practice and practice, I hope I am making progress to listen rather than ask. Girl you are always dead on with what I need @ the right time. Sometimes I say “Jillian get out of my head!”

    And sometimes I listen and I can hear you!
