question for the C's

[susy7]

I have a question for the C's, although the issue is personal, I wish that it be as a generality.

You tell us that there is, and I feel it, something important enough that will change the world.

Some among us do not anticipate the future anymore, not even one or two years ahead...

We're sometimes in the expectation of something, while continuing to achieve a higher state of consciousness and working on self.

What I mean, is that some among us are stuck or bounced between this expectation and the long term planning.

So, what should we do?

Thank you :)

I can relate to what i think you are saying: susy7;

We're sometimes in the expectation of something, while continuing to achieve a higher state of consciousness and working on self.

What I mean, is that some among us are stuck or bounced between this expectation and the long term planning.

So, what should we do?

For many of us, (me included) i feel that (and Pierre has voiced this in several recent sessions) it (the overall world situation) could not get worse, yet, day after day, month after month, and year after year, and this for many years now, has been getting somewhat worse and definitely more extreme in a negative sense... So, i think you are asking, if we will have time to achieve our goals, or if we should just give up now?!

And from reading the transcripts, on an ongoing basis, for nearly 5 years in my case, my impression is that, it is part of what we need to overcome. Meaning that, the process involves directly the person 'observing' thus, to a certain extent 'creating' the reality that we share, and that it is by believing that whatever happens will be the perfect outcome for each individual, and that we should strive forward no matter what, with what we have chosen, and 'expect' to become our reality.

As an example, i would use the present changing of the guards, in a socio-economico-political frame, such as the appearance of Mr Putin on the scene of the Middle-Eastern quagmire, which it seems is countering the all-negative previous 'timeline' as many have suggested, creating an alternate 'timeline' in which we insert ourselves because of our belief in it. If that makes sense. And today, i was thinking about this a lot, wondering if it is even worthwhile to make more projects, and project into the future a positive outcome to the present.

In that sense, based on the last session and your post, my question would be: Do we make such a difference, that we should just forge ahead with positive thoughts, never doubting that we will have enough time to create the change that we want to see in the world. Which also boomerangs back to the idea of becoming the change we want to see?

i might be off? Or is that what you are getting at: susy7?

It's a tricky thing, because there's the things we want to accomplish, and then there's the world as it is, which may not be so congenial to those goals.

I like Martin Luther's approach, who was purported to have said, "If the world were to end tomorrow, I would still plant a tree in my garden today." By putting out creative activity, and at the same time, paying attention to reality, you can shape the path toward the goal. It's a matter of not getting fixated on how it may happen, but taking it step by step. You keep the goal in mind, but let the universe open the path. I know it sounds all airy-fairy, but it does work.

Have you watched the Knowledge & Being videos? I think you will find some of your questions answered there.

I will answer, I just need to write well in English, I'm French :)

It can help if you write your replies in French, then run it through a translation program. A lot of people use google translate, but there are others. Plus there is a board where you can ask for help in getting your replies just right. Your English will improve faster than you think possible!

Thank you, because my question is perhaps poorly translated and as it is important

I really like that quote, I think it sums up the attitude of someone serious about doing the work. IMO it doesn't matter what will happen tomorrow, I'm still going to do the Work today.
An attitude of "If the comets are coming then what's the point?" Is like an excuse not to commit to making any real changes. Or someone who says "when the time comes I'll give up my body and die for the cause" again is excusing themselves from putting in the ground work now.
If we are thinking along the lines of moving towards a different reality then the more people who are making an effort NOW will send a stronger signal to the universe as to which reality we wish to reside.

I also like that quote and often use it without knowing that it was a quote
Part of my work involves forest management and there are good examples to learn from. In France an oak forest has a rotation time of around 180-200 years, in order to produce good quality oak timber. That means one of the acorns falling today will have to grow in the forest for around 200 years before it will be harvested. That does give a certain perspective when caring for the young oak trees today and similarly a gratitude for those who have taken care of the forest over the few hundred years. If one gave up caring for the young trees by saying what's the point, then there will be nothing for those who come after. In this case, you might say that there is nothing that will come after, but again we don't know and by tending to the trees, we have honoured the creative principle and thus shown ourselves to the universe to be responsible caretakers. Osit. (osit=or so I think)

One has to bear in mind that we are here in order to learn the lessons of life and if we are still here, that means we have still something to learn. Giving up means we have stopped growing.

But again it might not have been what you wanted to ask.
