What to DO now? Is it too late?

[Arwenn]

When I read your post, it reminded me of the sense of panic I had when I realized just how far behind I was from the rest of the group when I first joined. I remembered reading a great post by anart, which I will post below, from this thread An overwhelming feeling that there isn't enough time...

Hi SeekingtheTruth,

One thing we know for sure is that 'time pressure' - stressing out about not having enough time - is not only useless, it is damaging, I'd even say entropic. We can have no impact on time (it doesn't even exist) - we cannot change others and we cannot stop what is coming. However, it is my deep understanding that continuing, in the midst of this increasing madness, to objectively awaken and help others who are asking to do the same - to live as if there is nothing more important than THIS - every day, in everything, standing up for the Truth and becoming objectively Real is sending a signal out to the Universe that will be noted in the grand scheme of things.

If you consider that every step you take toward awakening sends out a signal - that every program you remove, every effort you make to be a representative of Truth and Creativity in this world sends out a signal, then the 'time issue' fades away. If you act as if everything you do affects the future, then there is an amazing amount of time in a single day to make a difference.

Perhaps it is about approaching it differently than as if it is a checklist of books to read or concepts to grasp. Perhaps it is simply a matter of doing what you love - being good to yourself - learning what is burning within YOU to learn and doing so with some level of joy that you have this opportunity, in this amazing time to do so.

We will do what we will do - and all there is is lessons. Pushing oneself to overcome interior barriers is vitally important, but stressing over not having enough time takes energy away from remembering oneself, doesn't it? Perhaps this is where faith comes into play. The Universe knows what it is doing and we have a certain amount of 'time' left to contribute in this venue - to send out that signal and do what is before us to do - what else could matter more than that? And, ultimately, what more could one hope for a lifetime?

The following was my signature quote for quite a while - perhaps you'll understand why...

FORGET "I should", forget it all. Replace it by "I LOVE TO DO ...." and skip completely the TIME issue. If you need five lives to accomplish what you WANT, let this be the first of those five. And then, without any "time obligation" or "should stressing" - start it. First step first. And ENJOY it. And LOVE yourself - take care of yourself.

This is the only thing that the Universe (God?) wants from you, I think. Arkadiusz Jadczyk

So - relax - have a little faith - and simply focus on doing what is in you to do - and enjoy it! :)

Cesar,

Your post sounds just like mine, and many others I have come across since I discovered this site. You are not alone. I have mentioned several times that there is almost always this ever present nagging sense of running out of time or of urgency. I take it as a sign to stop procrastinating and take care of what I need to do here and Now.

I have found that it is best to not dwell on the potentials for the future too much. I spent a lot of time in the past thinking about what may happen, if and when these meteors strike, if and when this ice age comes, if and when the "gods" return, if and when the Wave hits...it doesn't matter anymore. I've personally reached a point where working on my own personal lessons is my primary focus. Maybe that would work for you?

I first tried taking a mental note of reoccurring thoughts. Which ones needed my attention or demanded that I do something to "fix" them. I noticed that they mostly revolved around understanding my emotions or finalizing things with specific people. I have gotten to the point where it doesn't even matter what happens in the coming months or years, because we will all have to deal with it when it happens. For right now, do what you can, stay Present and keep watching yourself.

If you're anything like me; family and friends will disappear; but new ones will take their place (hopefully). Trust the process, trust that you are on the right path, even if the path is hard to see and soldier on!

You can ask yourself, and doubt about these assumptions, "late for what?" the ice age or comet rain is not a dead end date for your life, not to sound fatalistic, but i know of cases of people dying eating a candy or a grain of rice.

Also, yeah our bodies are temporal, they may go wrong and... let me share with you this beautiful quote and the dramatic scene.

"You step outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. And nowadays you breathe, and you risk your life. Every moment now...you don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for. Now, I can make these people feel better and hang on a little bit longer. I can save lives. And that's enough reason to risk mine."

In other words, you are not late for nothing. If what the cs' said about time is true, and that is proper of the physical world, and if you believe we are souls, then time is limited to our bodies, our souls and mind are not late for nothing.
