"Part of Eve's Discussion"
From The Good Thief by Marie Howe

It was like the moment when a bird decides not to eat from your hand,
and flies, just before it flies, the moment the rivers seem to still
and stop because a storm is coming, but there is no storm, as when
a hundred starlings lift and bank together before they wheel and drop,
very much like the moment, driving on bad ice, when it occurs to you
your car could spin, just before it slowly begins to spin, like
the moment just before you forgot what it was you were about to say,
it was like that, and after that, it was still like that, only
all the time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it seems like the writer was trying to pin down a specific moment but she can't ever come to explain it when it occurs and is left only to write about what occurs before and after. for whatever reason, this makes me think about non-anticipation. could she possibly be trying to pin down "non-anticipatory moments" or some kind of "neutral zone" in "time" if that's possible :)
if interested, what's your opinion on it ladies and gents???

and here are some quotes and what not on anticipation/non-interference from the Wave series just for the heck of it:

The “trick” that 3rd density STS life forms will learn, either prior to transition to 4th density, or at the exact juncture, is to think in absolutely limitless terms. The first and most solid step in this process is to not anticipate at all.

Q: (L) If someone wanted to win the lottery, for example, what would be the correct approach? What should they do, or be, or think, or say?
A: Completely pure intent, i.e., open. Nonanticipatory.
Q: (L) Anticipation constricts the channels of creativity?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) A person has to be completely uncaring whether they get it or not, so to speak?
A: Happy-go-lucky attitude helps.
Q: (L) So, worry, tension, anticipation, and attachment to the idea, we constricts the flow?
A: Yes.
But you noticed, I hope, that INTENT is not considered to be “anticipation” or “desire”. The words themselves may provide a clue. Anticipate: ante - before + capare - to take. To look forward to; to expect; to make happen earlier, precipitate; to foresee and perform in advance, etc. We see clearly the connection between anticipation and “time”. Intent: firmly directed or fixed; having the mind or attention firmly directed or fixed; engrossed; strongly resolved; a purpose or objective; will and determination at the time of performing an act.
Do we see a subtle difference? Even if it is somewhat semantically, it is sufficient to make us think about how to deal with our “creative potential”.
And, of course, we see that “completely pure intent” is a pretty tall order!
Thus we see that the key becomes ACTING NOW with intent, but NO imaginary anticipation for the future! A goal, with applied WILL of action, which
necessitates left brain conscious preparing and planning, via the heightened AWARENESS of the Right Brain, which deal directly with the present conditions, will
result in an opening of life changing creative potential.

Q: We’ve come to some kind of an idea that intent, when confirmed repeatedly, actually builds force. Is this a correct concept, and is there anything that you can add to it?
A: Only until anticipation muddies the picture... tricky one, huh?
Q: (L) Is anticipation the act of assuming you know how something is going to happen?
A: Follows realization, generally, and unfortunately for you, on 3rd density. You see, once anticipation enters the picture, the intent can no longer be STO.
Q: (L) Anticipation is desire for something for self. Is that it?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) OK, so it’s OK to intend something, or to think in an intentional way, or to hope in an intentional way, for something that is to serve another...
A: And that brings realization. But, realization creates anticipation.
Q: (L) Well, how do we navigate this razor? I mean, this is like walking on a razor’s edge. To control your mind to not anticipate, and yet, deal with realization, and
yet, still maintain hope...
A: Mental exercises of denial, balanced with pure faith of a nonprejudicial kind.
Q: (L) OK, so, in other words, to just accept what is at the moment, appreciate it as it is at the moment, and have faith that the universe and things will happen the way
they are supposed to happen, without placing any expectation on how that will be, and keep on working?
A: Yes.

the Mystic Female is the Infinite Sea of Potential... it is God in the “Not” aspect that only can BE when expectations, anticipations, assumptions and
obsessions are completely left at the door.
“Negative existence is the silence behind the sound, the blank canvas beneath the painting, the darkness into which light shines. Emptiness is the stillness against
which time moves. Negative existence enables a man to be what he is. It is the mirror of mirrors. Non-anticipation is noninterference, and allows the most perfect
reflection of creation.” (Lao Tzu)

If only we can act spontaneously, without being programmed into someone else’s belief system, we can ask the real question of ourselves; ask with no preconceived notion of what the answer will be; ask with no anticipation...

Q: (L) We have discussed a lot of concepts about “shaping the future”. In our discussions, we have hypothesized that it is something like an intentional act of shaping something good, but without defining the moment of measurement. In other words, adding energy to it by intent, but not deciding where, when or how the moment of measurement occurs. Like a quantum jump: you know it is statistically likely, but not definite, so you cannot “expect” it, but you observe so that you can notice when it occurs on it’s own, and in it’s own way.
A: Yes. Avoiding anticipation. That is the key to shaping the future... When it hits you, it stops.
Q: (L) When what hits you? The fact that it’s happening? That you are doing it?
A: Yes unless you cancel out all anticipation.
Q: (L) Well, this is very tricky.
A: Ah? We have doubts... And yes, you create your own reality!
