Impatience

I have had something on my mind for quite awhile now and finally deiced I would pop in here for a minute and just ramble a bit about this dilemma and see if maybe you’ve been noticing the same thing.

For a long time now, I’ve been observing that when there is some sort of an announcement, maybe on Youtube or a similar platform, from a respected channel, or spiritually awakened being, or teacher, and they tell or warn of an event that is coming, like the ascension or the much talked about solar wave, or the next phase coming to humanity, that people immediately become obsessed with when - when is this going to happen? The ethereal star guide or teacher will often attempt to explain that they really aren’t able to give a date, because when they do the event will change, to accommodate those in anticipation of that date and will get pushed farther and farther away. So, when time has moved on, and it hasn’t happened, these people get very upset and begin to vilify the one forecasting the information. I’ve been noticing that pretty much, each time there’s mention of something coming, the only detail asked about this upcoming episode is when, not how, not why, not even questioning the reason or the intellect behind the forecasting of this event, just when? I very seldom see them challenging the veracity of the person or the accuracy of the information. It might be the perfect chance to for us to do some inner or outer research on this point ourselves.

I often see this, that when time passes and this event hasn’t occurred, people begin to get anxious and depressed, waiting and waiting, and the more popular the channel or star teacher is, the more of this vibration that goes out into the collective consciousness. This impatience lowers the frequency of not only this disappointed person, but the surrounding consciousness. So the anger or annoyance goes directly into the creation of this predicted upcoming event, bringing it to manifest, when it does occur, within a more negative state, rather than just allowing it to be in the natural flow. Plus the fact, that with all these disappointed people focusing on the negative side of this supposed event, because in their estimation it hasn’t happened soon enough, this only adds energy to the creation of their own discouraged version of this incident, ensuring that it will happen, but in what way, in what level of consciousness?

And have they ever considered that this may not be a positive episode? All they have is the assurance from the channel or spokesperson who first mentioned it. Have they themselves taken any responsibility for it, by putting their own positive energy on this potential event, or are they just waiting, waiting for it to come about, with no realization of how their own impatient frustrations may have changed this initial prediction or prophecy. Have they ever even asked themselves if they really want this to happen, because it is all an unknown. They’re just taking the word of someone else. Will the world be better off with this occurrence? Do they really know what they’re impatient for - and what are they really waiting for? They’re pushing the present moment out into some believed to be better. Yet, could their life really be better in some future moment if they are living only in anticipation of that faraway unreachable moment - that isn’t even their own moment, but something someone told them about! They have moved out of the now into some unknown potential and completely lost their own precious now, their only true moment and the only point in which they are truly whole and complete.

I remember when I was in the spiritual school I told you about, the teacher said, and I’ve always remembered this. “To be impatient is to hurry toward your own death.” Brilliant!

Impatience comes in many other ways too. As I said, it disallows the moment and the appreciation within that perfect moment. It keeps us from observing the world, our surroundings, and holds us from recognizing the beauty of each moment. There truly is beauty in each moment for those with eyes to see. When we stop to be wherever we are, we begin to notice things we’ve never seen or heard before, details of every little thing. If we’re standing in the checkout line at the store, and are willing to relax into that moment, within the buzz of conversations around us, we can begin to make a game of isolating individual words and it becomes interesting, like a fun game, filling the time, like listening to music. We discover the brilliant blue colors shining off the earrings of the lady standing ahead in line. It may not seem important to us now, but when we reach the other side of life, each moment we have lived in this human life, even the seeming tiny insignificant things like admiring the sparkling colors of her earrings, is valued like a precious gem that will never be seen or felt again. If our focus is on waiting to get somewhere else, only when we look back, can we realize all the treasures in that lost moment. I remember something my husband said when he knew he was going to die. He had refused to take any drugs for pain, because he wanted to feel like himself. He said, “I’m okay with dying, but while I’m here, I just want to be aware and conscious that I’m still alive.”

So many people are asking how to be happy. Well, I would like to add my own little gem and suggest that happiness isn’t something that can be pursued and forced into being. Happiness is our natural state of being and the only thing that takes us away from that state and causes unhappiness, is resistance - the resistance to what is. Impatience is another form of unhappiness. It’s when we allow the moment to be, will it bring forth its magic, the present, the present of Now.

Anyway, just another mind-walk I thought I would share. Thanks for listening!

Bye bye!
