Waiting Game
Time can be a real bugger. No other aspect of life on the planet can shake my faith quite like time itself.
The journey toward personal wish-fulfillment includes accepting obsolete belief systems and the steady influx of thought offered by others. When you realize that struggling against the influence of the past and the opinion of others is futile, you learn to accept these aspects of physical existence for what they are. Sovereignty in mind, heart, and spirit is remembered, and resistance to the flow of well-being declines.
Whatever happened yesterday, and who said what about something, is no longer relevant to whatever the hell you are creating for your life experience now. You get to a point where you may even marvel that you allowed these things to impede your birthright to a joyous life for so long. Sometimes it takes about fifty years to practice ‘acceptance’ until it becomes natural, and even then, old habits die hard:)
We knew all this stuff upon our arrival, but some of us must have wanted the really long and comprehensive exam (with bonus essay questions!) before we could remember who we really are. The key to boundless well-being and creative mastery is revealed in the art of acceptance, but we always ‘think’ that we have to earn the right to know that.
Meanwhile, as old operating procedures fade away with new conscious awareness, the pesky aspect of physics remains. Things like gravity, space, and time are all part of the program here on this magnificent planet, so even when we master the properties of allowing, we are still maneuvering around a physical plane that is defined by the laws of human nature.
And so it is with the aspect of time, in particular, that we often experience the concept of patience. Waiting for the real-time experience of your heart’s desire can be a bitch.
You have held the vision. You have done the work.
The relationship you know is on its way into your experience, the promotion that you are eligible for, the writing project that you completed and are awaiting acceptance, or even the future resolution to a problem are all feasible examples of the pending creations that you can just feel are around the corner. Your expectations are clear. You have elevated your vibrational signal of attraction by acting as if these things you are waiting for are already here. You trust in divine source.
But some days you just can’t help yourself. You take a look around. You notice that the things you want have not occurred yet, and suddenly you cannot help but pose the obvious question.
“So where are these things and when will they show up?!?”
And there it is. That pesky notion of patience. Asking the question ‘where is it already?’ has activated the denser vibration of doubt, causing you to tighten your grip on the present reality in which that thing you desire is not yet a part of. Once focus turns toward the absence of our desire, manifestation is held behind the veil.
Frustrating, isn’t it?
I would remind you to relax, and take a deep breath (or 500 of them), but no one wants to hear that when they are busy working in the energy of relative time.
Perhaps you might consider embracing the energy of pure acceptance. Reach for the vibration of appreciation for physical time itself. Know that it is all part of your glorious human experience to live on a planet that ‘runs’ on time, which is just one of the many physical wonders of our unique existence.
Surely one can acknowledge that time does, indeed, serve a useful purpose. For those of us who ‘live’ in it 24 hours a day, time enables us to enjoy our vacations, schedule our activities, grasp new concepts, and has been known to provide the ability to heal our wounds, both physical and emotional.
If you can (just for a minute), appreciate the essence of time itself, you may discover that you have loosened that impatient grip on current reality just long enough to allow the reality you desire to come into your experience.
And then you will say, “Ahhhh….there you are! I knew you were there THE WHOLE TIME!!!!”
I love this… waiting can be such a b!tch, can’t it?! I like to compare life to horse shows – you wake up early, show up all spic and span, ready for action… then you wait. and wait. and waaaaaaiiitttt for your class to begin, meanwhile trying to keep yourself and your trusty steed somewhat presentable. How frustrating!
Waiting… I try to spend as little time possible waiting. It’s a waste of my precious time, in my opinion. Of course, there’s certain things you have no choice but to sit and wait (much like horse shows… or doctors appts) The thought of waiting actually makes me uncomfortable… what exactly is it, that I’m waiting for? I’d rather not dwell on it, and go outside instead. Hehe. Whatever it is I’m waiting for, it will show up eventually, just like you said =]
