Rushing

Have you ever experienced a barrage of pressing thoughts telling you what you need to do in order to make a problem go away? All of those frantic thoughts are essentially saying "Follow me" as they present their advice. The Divine never pressures a person into following anything. Instead, the Divine is always gently whispering, "I am here."

As you persist with the intention to slow down, you will gradually come to see that underneath your rushing is an agitation that is actually meant to stir a higher awareness in you.

Guy Finley talks about how rushing and being chronically late for appointments is connected to an unseen greedy nature that is always attempting to reconcile the moment in accordance with its own selfish interests.

But, it's hard to hear that still, small part of yourself when you're always so busy talking to yourself!

You've no doubt fought and won countless battles in life, yet repeatedly -- seemingly  inescapably -- you continue to find yourself at war, not just with others but within yourself, as well.

Classroom Talk: 11/20/2024 - Whenever we kneel to the temptation of some consoling indulgence, or struggle to acquire a power to protect us from a fear...we yield to, and serve the pleasure of a darkened desire that has promised, once again, to save us from (our) pain.

Classroom Talk: 10/16/2024 - In time, with enough struggle and effort, we can make of ourselves a momentary ruler of whatever kingdom we set out to create; but only when - and as - we learn what it means to rule ourselves do we lose nothing when that kingdom fades away...as must all creations in time.
