You are a miracle - Let it happen

From Patience to Spirituality – and Back

August 8, 2022•Awareness, Self-development

For today, I randomly picked a quote from the internet to get inspiration for something that may be important to share. It is interesting what quote my curser was resting on when I opened my eyes. Again, it is that patience thing.

Wanting to see more behind what is, is a natural impulse – at least in my opinion. Once we stop being curious about what else we can discover and want to gain insights or understand context, we may stop participating in this life. Life is growth in all possible meanings. When we are content with what we have, that’s ok, but being open and attentive to more is no contradiction. Actually, it is the result of being content. Contentment is a combination of awareness and gratitude. That condition automatically keeps the mind open, active, and awake for more things to welcome in life.

I think that is this active kind of patience: No need to hurry or run but take chances instantly when they fly by. As a frog sitting still on its water lily pad, only to let its tongue flick forward at the exact right moment to catch an insect. Only one millisecond earlier (or later), its lunch would have flown away.

So, it is about that right moment – not rushed, but not missed out of convenience or carelessness either. It needs a sharp yet serene mind. Or it simply needs the awareness that we are spiritual beings in a human body, making a human experience while rediscovering our spirituality (wow, what a sentence). Meditation can lead to this state… or simply the experience over the time we walk on this planet.

Spirituality is nothing we can or need to gain.
No one is more or less spiritual.
We all are spiritual beings covered by a body and the gift of forgetting.
It is only a matter of opening up to it to have full access.
Once that happens, patience won’t be a question anymore.

In Love and Light

An active kind of patience? Very thought provoking and you’ve given words to something I’ve felt but haven’t put my finger on.

Slow and steady is my mantra and at times I sometimes worry I’m too content and letting opportunities pass by, but as you say it’s a case of having enough awareness to recognise an opportunity and engage with it when it comes along, while still expressing gratitude for all we have in the present moment. A fine line indeed but one that’s worth pursuing with patience and persistence.

Thanks for sharing, I’ve just discovered your blog and shall follow with interest.

Hi Rae, thank you for stopping by and leaving such a profound comment. Like everything we develop patience is a process. From trying to catch what we can up to turning away and waiting until opportunity hits us on the head (which barely happens). We also need to be patient with ourselves while learning to be patient. Maybe that is the first step reach a healthy patience in alighment with our inner self.
Again, thank you very much for your lines, Rae.

My turn to ‘feel’ me all in a whole new way. At 4.30pm yesterday afternoon I had a slight ‘niggle’ in my chest and a slight headache, by 8.30pm I thought I was dying. Covid decided I needed to see something. And the Black Elderberry extract (its called Sambucol over here, and the research says it must have 5.7g per 15ml dose), is working like a charm, after this last 24hrs it has eased it off considerably 😀
Oh, and great post dear lady, very well written. And it does take a patience to feel its wisdom. Thank you for sharing yours 😀❤️🙏🏽

Oh, no, I had no idea you have Covid which is definitely not the best disease to have with your lung problems. I am glad the elderberry helped that well and fast. Plants have such power. They are still underestimated. Take good care, Mark, and get completely well soon💖

It is playing with my chest a bit but the extract seems to be keeping it at bay. And very underestimated. It was interesting that their ‘new’ virus tablet work the same way as the elderberry, and they are a similar color. I would be very interested in seeing what is actually inside them. The elderberry works by binding the spikes of the covid cell and slows its reproduction right down and allows your immune system to build up quicker to fight it off. Effectively reducing the time and intensity of the virus. But must be taken the instant you feel it coming on, even if its 2am in the morning, because even an hour or two can allow it to really get going and reduces its ability to block it. It only blocks what is already there.
Sorry Erika, I couldn’t give this information without explaining it or others would take it and if not done correctly they’ll think its useless 😀❤️🙏🏽

I have used elderberry with great success for good health. With Covid, I also discovered sunshine (vitamin d) to be a great warrior. Simply sitting outside made all the difference. Best wishes for renewed health. 🌞💫

That’s important information. You know, I am using plants and their essences in my practice and in my natural cosmetic products. So that’s very interesting. And yes, also plants only heal up to a certain degree. If you catch an infection early enough or a little too latet that can make the big difference. Thank you very much for sharing, Mark!

And thank you Erika, it is good to see ‘natural’ up high as it should be. This world is so chemicalized (and yes, plants are a chemical too), but at least being natural they are so much more tolerated. Because of our bombardment with so much in this century, especially in our childhood, we have become very much more sensitized and reactions occur regularly. I think all children should be planted in a garden for their first few years so that they will have many germs all over them to build a lifetime of resistance and wellness. But I think that may be illegal 🤣, but hey, they would thank us for it 🤣❤️🙏🏽

That is the big problem. I remeber when my daughter went to preschool for a year. They cleaned all the time. It is no suprise that the kids cannot develop a natural resistence against germs. And on the other side, as you said, there is too much information flooding body and mind constantly. It cannot differ anymore what is to be accepted and what not. The confusion leads to reactions like allergies.

It absolutely is. Otherwise, it is not patience but lazyness, or even a nexcuse for fear that turns into ignorance. Patience is keeping up the focus awake and attentive. Thank you very much, dear Jan!

Our spirits inhabit a physical body operating in a physical world which limits us physically but not spiritually. Patience helps us to continue to grow spiritually. Nice post, Erika, have a spiritually uplifting week 🌞
