Patience

In this answer to a viewer's question, "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about how our lives are reorganized when we start to see that our own will is in conflict with Life's Will. The Divine knows what we need before we know it. When we see that with more clarity, then that observation will organize our mind in such a way that we will begin to recognize what the Divine is revealing to us in each moment.

If you were empowered to change life -- in order to give yourself whatever is always good and true for you to know and have -- would you ever make any other kind of changes? For example, would you fear unexpected events, such as a loss of some kind? No! Even though they may come as a surprise, you already know that they herald a new beginning of something better.

Guy answers how to stop being anxious with his quote, "As goes my attention so comes my experience." When anxiety has your attention stuck on worrying about a stressful situation that's your experience. A change in attention relieves us from the stressful connection to anxiety.

Your present consciousness thinks in terms of getting things done so that it can be "over" and you can move on to the next thing. But real life is never done the way that nature wants you to believe. Real life is always being done, and you have a role in it, which is to attend to life while it's happening so that you can be purified by it.

Topics covered:  What we call our thinking isn't really us doing the thinking at all. Rather, it is a mechanical mind talking to itself about what each moment means; The nature that reacts mechanically has already concluded what the moment means even before the condition that stirs it to the surface. As we are, we are that reactive nature; Any time life runs counter to expectations, there is instantaneous judgment and resistance.
