Some pairs of words describing actions and feelings connected with time that reflect individual predispositions as well as states of balance or imbalance:
waiting - acting impulsively
slowing down - speeding up
being still - keeping busy
patience - impatience
TRUST - FEAR
feeling at ease - feeling hindered or blocked
letting be - taking control
hope - despair
being present - being preoccupied
fullness - emptiness
engagement - withdrawal
aliveness - deadness
Of all of these, trust in the Divine in and through the passage of time is key. It allows us to wait, to hope, and to be at peace.

My Beloved Teacher,
ReplyDeleteI can feel my "self" in time, in my mind and body, going through what seems to be a tug of war between these 2 polarities. It is if these dualities within me are being pulled apart - as Jesus spoke in the "wheat being separated from the chaff."
I feel grateful for your teachings which provides the 'food' for my thoughts, my soul.
I give thanks also for the blessings recently found in my meditations. I have been able to access a neutral 'field' in my mind, in which I can stabilze my 'self' and find peace during this transition -- from a life willed by my ego-mind, to a life willed by God, in time, through my heart.
with gratitude.
Johanna
