Those last months have been rich, to say the least. Thank you eternally. I rejoice when I see the evolution of the Forum members made available by the ongoing research for Knowledge/Love. That makes me think about Hope, Faith, and Love as described by Mouravieff. It impacts me profoundly. It seems to me that the infamous Help on the way has come, as those revelations bring about Faith, and make one serene in regards to what's to come next. Be not oppressed.
How lucky are we to be around here and benefit from your life-long work. That in itself is mind-blowing. I opened SHOTW1 again since a long time, it reminded me how much effort and work were needed to get there. And even then, I can just sort of try to grasp it.
This month's FOTCM calendar quote is:
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves and the world around us.
Socrates
I think it really is apropos to this discussion and discoveries. The more is learned, the more humbling it all is. Belief is important to bridge the gap between what we can't understand due to our limitations and what we can. As with limiting emotions being an impediment to progress, so beliefs can be.
Emotion that limits is an impediment to progress. Emotion is also necessary to make progress in 3rd density. It is natural. When you begin to separate limiting emotions based on assumptions from emotions that open one to unlimited possibilities, that means you are preparing for the next density.
Limiting beliefs are an impediment to progress too. From what I understand of emotions, they are a grouping of impressions, and those have to rely on one's belief center in some sense. As we gather more knowledge, our impressions and perceptions change according to what we've discovered. The nature of our thoughts is based on our beliefs, hence the importance of analyzing our beliefs to realize how they impact our thinking.
“Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.” says Stephen R. Covey.
I can tell my perceptions are changing as I realize more and more how the world is full of wonders, everywhere I look. For example, since I've done a bit of masonry during the course of the renovating project we have, I now can't help but envision the enormous time/effort/energy EACH stone house has required, as I know construction in some more details now, I look around when I drive and think, what a legacy do we have here! And I am not even talking about sacred places or monuments. That stands for every designed object that we use, every cell we are made of.
The more I understand how life and things work, the more I am in awe, it develops an encompassing emotion made of joy, respect, and serenity.
Those successive realizations lead to enhanced gratitude, respect, and honor towards the ALL. What a chance it is to be able to feel that way. Delighted is a good way to put it.
I don't understand much and yet more and more dots are connecting. The real difference is that I finally understand I am my own judge towards my attitude in life. I will persist, I will strive, as this is what I owe to the Universe.
I really appreciated the Chess analogy augmented by fabric's perspective. Also, the river's analogy is a good one. I'm not sure we can go further in investigating why what we perceive as time would not be relevant in superior densities. Choices and intentions seem to really be all that matter, ultimately.
As I'm reading Stephen Covey's 7 habits, I'd like to share some views inspired by it:
Time is a preoccupation, you can't do anything about it. It's not in your circle of influence. You can't manage time, you can manage yourself. Time is only relevant for us to organize ourselves in regards to our roles and objectives. Defining those and learning to manage oneself optimally in function of what is most important to us is the best we can do about time.
Time can swallow you if you live in constant urgency, dealing with important things to do only when they become urgent. You can be swallowed that way, and all the resulting stress will lead you to dissociate and do unimportant and not urgent stuff the rest of the time.
If you don't set priorities and can't say No to yourself and others' bad ideas, you will also stay in constant urgency, between important and unimportant things to deal with.
Question is: what could you do that you don't already do that could benefit you tremendously in the long run?
If only you could focus on what's important while it is not urgent, then you would deal with urgency less frequently and in a better way too. You have to steal time spent on unimportant and not urgent things to instill it towards important and not urgent ones.
Some imagination now: It seems to me that relating to the chess game, at each move comes a choice between these 4 categories for us. The goal of 3/4DSTS is to keep you far from focusing on important an not urgent things, not much food there. Hence they spend a lot of their energy making the other propositions better, especially 3 and 4, interfering and all. It's the hero's journey to learn to focus on what's really important, and the more you know what's important and keep focusing on it, the harder it is to interfere in your choices, knowledge protects and free will augments.
