It is in giving patience that we receive patience. What flows out, flows in. Some individuals are born with an innately calmer temperament. Others are not. Some are more stable, steady, even-keeled, unflappable, imperturbable. Others are not. Thus, a state of effortless patience is more inherent for some than for others. I am of the “others are not” disposition. My husband is of the ilk of the unflustered. He is, for the most part, a rock of levelheaded tranquility. For some of us, it’s very much an evolutionary journey of perseverance to acquire and, as a consequence, respond with the spiritual quality of patience. Then, we’ve arrived at the pristine headwaters of equability! I am learning that outward patience— the effect—begins initially with inner patience—the cause—towards myself. Everything that I am and you are affects the sender but is also a gentle or harsh wave felt as it spreads throughout the universe. When the unruffled waters of patience are inwardly peaceful, I then have utter patience with you—the receiver. In this sense, I reap the initial blessing and gift of patience, because I am in self-governance of myself. And, you are secondarily the recipient of my calmness. Harmony has circulated within and without. The more I am patient, the more you and you and you and the world settles into a greater degree of balance and accord. The same result occurs when any person is at peace. But, it begins, first and foremost, inside of my self-home in the realization that there is no such thing as any outer influence but only what I accept and therefore self-create within the confines of my mind and beliefs. In other words, someone or something or some condition or some location or some event doesn’t “do it to me.” I do it always unto myself! I’ve done it to me! Patience is a practice of continual self-awareness wherein the reflex movement of frustration, irritability, and impatience are caught before I have an outburst of energy directed at unsuspecting you. Emotionally, it may likely cast you backwards by surprise! St. Teresa of Avila wisely knew that, “The gift of patience is patience.” It’s a simple thing but not always easy to demonstrate, especially if, in our formative years of “conditioning” at home, there was a parent or other significant person who modeled impatience a good deal of the time, sometimes in the form of an unspoken or spoken motto of “get it right the first time!” Later, the inner work begins to re-condition and transform our self, moving the inherent choice and power from external sources to the interiority of Self. Still another remarkable outcome in this feedback loop of awareness and conscious self-conditioning is that it again begins within me. The patience I am treating you with is the patience I am originally treating myself with. I am not inwardly trouncing myself or losing it with unconscious reactivity shown as annoyance, anger, or fear. This is love given twice. Patience is the natural abiding state when the mind becomes quiet, the heart slows its pace, and the whole mind-body system settles into comfort, safety, relaxation, and true rest. Be still. Be still. Be still and reside in Self-mastery. The ultimate of patience derives from unconditional love—a love that does not find fault, try to change, compare, make lesser than, make fun of, criticize, condemn, or judge even me. Love is really another name for peace, which rests upon the inner foundation of patience.     Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:2 At the end of the way is freedom. Till then, patience.

“Perhaps you know the story that is told in two different ways. One is an ancient Hebrew teaching and the other an ancient Hindu teaching, but the story is the same in both cases. There was a disciple who went to his master and asked, ‘Please, Master, show me God. Let me know God; let me be in God’s presence.’ Over and over he appealed to his master, but the wise master did nothing about it except smile and say, ‘Yes, in time. In time.’ “Then, one day the master felt that the time had come. So, he said to his disciple, ‘I am going to take you to our secret and sacred temple. There are three rooms in this temple, but I can only take you into the first. After that, you are on your own. If you find the way, you will ultimately find God. If not, it will have to be another time.’ “The disciple found himself alone in a room that was empty except for a golden statue of Jehovah God. And after the disciple got accustomed to the idea of this room, the feel of it, he felt something wrong. He said, ‘No, this isn’t it. The atmosphere is too heavy here. I will have to go further.’ So, he found his way into the next room. After entering the second room, he commenced to breathe more freely. As he got accustomed to the surroundings, he saw that again he was in an empty room, except for a statue of Jehovah God made of crystal. He felt the lightness of that crystal; he felt the lightness of the atmosphere of the room, and he said, ‘This is more like it!’ But after a while, he realized that even though this was more like it, it wasn’t it. “So began the search for the entrance to the third room. You know he found it, and you also know what he found. He found himself in an empty room—completely empty. There was nobody there but He!” Joel S.

Tiny grains of sand. Billowing clouds sweeping by. All life is equal. Children play, laugh, run. Grandparents beam their great joy. All life is valued. Horses running free. Snow leopards grace mountain heights. Each precious life lived. Gender, race, creed, age. Each a blessing of their own. No life less, greater. Dragonflies circling. Shaded in the arms of trees. All life is Spirit. Trusting hands reach out. Let us be kind guardians for other’s viewpoints. Flower faces glow Sun’s golden, glimmering light. Let us take it in. The way forward calls. Life embraced in unity. Bees drinking nectar.   Within each of us there is a gift. As [St.] Paul tells us there is only one spirit that animates us all, but that spirit brings itself forth in different ways. Joel S. Goldsmith, Rising in Consciousness Now—in this minute—you are living, for you cannot live yesterday and you cannot live tomorrow. The only possible thing you can do is live here and now this minute. And, of course, tomorrow in your experience will really be now also. Otherwise it won’t be at all. It has to be now. It is all a continuous now, now— now! This minute is now. Next minute will be now. It’s all—now! Joel S. Goldsmith, Rising in Consciousness What will you choose now?

Divine music heard for persons on that wavelength. Timeless transcribers.   Melodies float through in pure, original states. Masterpiece received.   In silence, tuned in, compositions can be earthed for those receptive.   Some are so aware who can embody rich sounds, their own true note caught.   If you don’t go within, you go without. If you are empty of self, you’re full of Self. When you are free of desire, you realize and experience that everything is. You have opened to the state of consciousness wherein everything already IS. Divine Consciousness IS.   Other Mystical Offerings: • Soul Purpose • Soul Note • Soul Assignments • God’s Assignments • The Timeless Trek • The Divine Broadcast • “Be-ing” In Our Right Work © Haiku poem and prose © by Zane Maser, 2020.

Some inner moments can be inexpressible, beyond what words tell. Insightful silence. Let it percolate inward. Keep the sacred close. Jewels are secret. Many misunderstand Truth. Higher realms too pure. Wisdom is Spirit, the Light of revelation at inmost Center.   Every spiritual impulse that takes place in the consciousness of a master is felt in the consciousness of all those who are attuned to the Spirit. …Never can there be freedom on earth until there is spiritual freedom in the individual. Never will one be free until freedom first is felt in the Soul. Joel S.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. Rumi, 13th century Persian mystic   Your heart has to be your guide. If you are sincere, you will know where to go and what to do. If you are working out of your ego, you will find fault with everything. I can tell you this much, everyone is in their right place. There are no mistakes. None have been made. None are being made. Those people who are with certain gurus belong right where they are, for the time being. Turn within and your heart will tell you where to go.

A goblet is created from glass, yet it is simply glass formed. It never becomes anything other than glass. Thus, the expression of the goblet is always united and indivisible from its original state —not two separate substances but at all times one.   A star appears to be an isolated entity in its spacious surroundings, yet eternally its context is the stellar background within which the embrace of the sky holds it.   A branch extends from the tree’s trunk, nonetheless its aliveness and fruitfulness is in its connectivity to the whole seen and unseen system of the tree.     A wave surges up, expressing a unique, individual moment in the ocean’s ever-changing ebb and flow and then settles back into the entirety of the global waters, forever joined with that body.   A majestic mountain peak is thrust upwards, creating a focalized masterpiece of beauty that still rests within the context of the landscape, its parental bedrock of materials, and the forces of nature wherein lies its creation and structure—one vast panorama.   The multiplicity of individual manifestations and expressions throughout the universe—every appearance of what seems to be a singularity—is in truth all godlings within the one divine, spiritual Presence in whose Consciousness the collective godling family is eternally unified.     Every natural object is a conductor of divinity and only by coming in contact with them… may we be filled with the Holy Ghost. John Muir, naturalist and mystic   All life is one, though it has a diversity of manifestations. All law is one, but it is applicable and operative in a variety of ways. There is not one law for matter and another for mind, not one for the material and visible and another for the spiritual and invisible. There is the same law throughout. James Allen, beloved British mystic   This post is dedicated to my dad, who today would have been 102 years old! Another post, “For the Love of Dad” was written in his remembrance for an incredibly gentle soul who graced my life and is eternally present with me and in my heart.

States, stages we pass through. The soul unfolds freshly born. Layers left behind. Forward, backward steps, detours, scrapped knees, hills traversed. Clouds, rain, gold sun rays. Always does the seed of full divinity wait, ever receptive. Soil damp, fertile. Hidden does new life break free. The start, end assured. In the presence of Spirit, earth is revealed as heaven, for they never were different or separate.   To bring forth music or art, something more than an understanding of the principles of painting or music is necessary, and that something more is called soul. Without a soul, a painter is not an artist, nor a musician a musician. Joel S. Goldsmith, master mystic and teacher   In deep meditation, when one shuts out the land of finitude and matter, the realm of Eternity, the vast heavenly kingdom of God’s omniscience, is found to lie tier upon tier in endless vistas before the inner vision.

When there’s only now, what’s there to compare it with? Presence is what is. A mother swallow feeding her newly hatched chicks only knows this now. Pear blossoms open to absorb spring’s light, clear air. Raindrops nourish now. Alive is this breath. A heartbeat is this full pulse. Not the last, next one. The entirety of eternality flows right now forever. Live in present tense. Now is all that can arrive. Instant by instant.   A seashell never becomes a red rose, a mourning dove, a snow leopard, or a rainbow. A moment never becomes anything other than it is.   Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. Omar Khayyam Wherever you are be all there.
