The Vibrant Channeled Creator

Commentary:


Blessings come in many forms. Some blessings appear in the form of disappointments, of not getting our way or what we want. But often the things we want, we only want for a moment or a day – and then our craving for that thing or even that person evaporates. Sometimes the worst thing that could happen to us is to get exactly what we’ve prayed for.
To be patient means to “dwell in the moment”, to “be still and present”, allowing the design of all things to take their place. Impatience comes from living according to the clock. Time controls your mind, your heart, your sense of self-worth. “I do not have the patience to sit still and reflect upon what I thought about today or what I said to others.” And yet the words you use each day are the instruments through which you create the experiences of your life. Do you have any idea how powerful each word really is?
Commentary:
Reflect on these questions:
* How does my impatience serve me?
* How often during each day do I think in terms of time?
* And in how many ways does “time-thinking” contribute to my stress?
* Time is another way of experiencing the “gift of life”, of observing it pass in front of our eyes. How shall I spend the hours and days of my life?
* Do I want them to be stress-filled?
The grace of patience allows me to break free of the illusion that the next minute has something more to offer than this present moment. Believing that I am standing in the midst of an empty moment – as if any moment could be empty – is a profound illusion. I am the one in charge of filling in the moments of my life. My life is not supposed to be delivered to me, as if something is owed to me. With patience, I see more of what is in my own world in every single second.
Everything is possible for one who believes, still more for one who hopes, even more for one who loves, and most of all for one who practices and lives these three graces.
Commentary:
Faith, hope and love are nectar for the human spirit. We can live without a lot of things but we cannot sustain ourselves for long without hope or love or believing in something greater than ourselves. The practice of these graces – even in the smallest ways – can change the life of another person. Pessimism, complaining and dismissing opportunities because you are not given a guarantee of success and financial protection with that opportunity will eventually lead you into depression and hopelessness, as you are living the practice of “hopelessness”. Faith, hope and love exist because life is a labyrinth, turning this way and that, always letting us believe that we are not really on a path at all. Suddenly we discover we have all along been on a geometrically perfect path leading directly to an aligned center. Faith and hope along the path is the only wise choice. And as for being loving, my suggestion is that you go for broke. Decide to make this life an experiment on how loving you can be in one life. Decide that your cause of death will be: Died from love-exhaustion. Why not? Go for it. People die of despair and loneliness all the time – I know it. I meet people disintegrating from loneliness and heartache in my workshops all the time. Even though they may end up developing cancer or some other illness, I know that the energetic precursor for some people – not all, but some – was loneliness.
Finally, this passage to dwell upon as you enter the New Year:
“Let me not tell my life again what I want to do with it and what I expect from it;
Now I will listen to my life direct me. Who am I? What creative talents have I been born with? What does my soul know to be the Truth? I am ready to listen.”
I’d like to thank all of you for your support of all my work. I wish you the very best for the coming New Year.
Love,
Caroline Myss
