How does it feel to understand that Divine timing is not our timing?

So often we want things NOW, and then they don' t happen NOW. 

But then when we finally do (or don't) get what we wanted, we look back on the time when we were so deeply craving and hoping and wanting this thing.

And we realize that what we wanted didn't happen THEN, because it wasn't right timing. 

Trusting the Universe means trusting the Universe has perfect timing. 

A lesson in patience, non-attachment and acceptance, all rolled into one. 

Today’s inspiration is from The 33 Lessons:

“We hear the prayers from you; there is no time on this earth when a prayer is not being said, mumbled, cried out, whispered.”—​The 33 Lessons

If you know how to reach the Divine in prayer you are blessed beyond measure.

This one simple skill, available to everyone, provides unfailing support 24/7.

It allows you to receive Divine guidance on everything in your life—from spiritual matters to very earthly concerns. 

If you know how to be in touch with your Guides, this is yet another way of letting your prayers be carried forth. If you know how to do this, please take a moment and check in with your Guides now, with the simple question: "What is the most important thing I need to know right now?"

When we understand we have the support of a loving Universe, it is so much easier to move through the challenges we all seem to be facing this year. 

Here is how I think of this passage: that we are in charge of keeping our heart clear.

Our heart is our emotional center, the place our soul resides,  the center of our feeling and knowing. This is what we are charged with. 

To become clear, we must remove all blockages, which can include energy, emotions, anything that seems to get "stuck", anything that is repressed or ignored, or anything that we don't want to look at becuase we fear it might be too painful. 

We allow this feeling. And then we just let things flow. 

For the heart to be clear, it needs a steady removal of all feelings and emotions—the negative and the positive—so that this state of flow can be clear and pure. 

If you are feeling stuck, check your heart. See what needs to be cleared. Let yourself feel whatever that is, and notice the release that happens. 

Today's inspiration iis from The 33 Lessons:

“The thoughts of sadness lead to more sadness, and the thoughts of joy and beauty—the term you use is abundance. 

When you believe in one thing, you call upon the Divine to prepare this for you.There is nothing you cannot have. But there is much you will not want.
​
​So it is important to stay clear in the mind, for the mind is the place where you are most apt to become confused.”

I don't believe that thinking one bad thing dooms you to a life of bad things forever.

However, if you do perserverate on a continual thoughts of doom and gloom, or if you obsess or have anxiety about negative things, eventually the Universe will create what you obsess on. 

Your thoughts do become reality—yet there is a lot of flex and forgiveness here! 

The Universe supports your soul growth—the Universe helps you move to thoughts that are positive, compassionate and  joyful. 

Practice noticing your thoughts in an kind and easy way today. 

Don't force positivity or try to be "upbeat." 
​
​Be gentle on yourself, and allow change to happen over time. 

Today's inspiration is from The 33 Lessons: 

“The energies in themselves are neither good nor bad.
They are merely energies that you, soul in human form, mind in body, experience.
Yet because you are human, the darker energies are harder to navigate, just as it would be hard to walk through a river of mud.
This is why you choose the Light. You can move through it more quickly.”

I think about this idea a lot whenever I am in a situation where I am feeling: 
• pain
• anger
• confusion
• anxiety
• negativity
• stuckness

Whenever I start to feel these feelings, I remember this idea about dark energies, and how dark energies and emotions feel like slogging through the  mud. 

I can stay in the mud—or I can shift  my attention to seomthing Lighter, easier, more fun, nicer, kinder. 

​We can't always control the events or energies or people in our lives. 
But we can decide what we experience. 

Today's inspiration is from The 33 Lessons:

“Your people have been tribal people.
But the time for this is fast becoming decayed.

The protection of the tribe, the gain of the tribe, the striving of nation against nation, group against group, faction against faction.

The time for this is nearly done.” --The 33 Lessons

Oneness hit me like a river of Flow yesterday when I was meditating during the full moon lunar eclipse—I could FEEL many, many souls meditating together. 

Tribal means separating.
​Oneness is inclusive.

We are moving now, toward collective soul, toward understanding ourselves—and feeling ourselves—as One.
