We live in a generation that enjoys instant messaging, microwaves, drive through restaurants, next day delivery, on-line banking and automatic teller machines. One-hour photo processing is now a thing of the past, replaced by instantaneous digital gratification!
In metaphysical circles we hear lingo like “instant manifestation” and “instant karma” and hear about the ever-increasing energetic vibration that allows for the facilitation of “instant manifestation. “
We are constantly cautioned about keeping our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and intentions on what we want, on what we desire to ensure that we do indeed manifest what we have been wishing for.
So much of the progress that our generation enjoys provides us with “instant gratification.” Along with all the hype in metaphysics on our ability to “instantly manifest,” when that which we wish to manifest does not bare fruit quickly enough, some of us may think and/or worry that we are doing something wrong.
Doubt and worry may then lead to questioning our deservedness - which we are then cautioned will create blockages and delays in manifestation. At which point we may worry because we are worrying, the process then becomes complicated and frustrating, leading us to wonder just where is the drive through for our dreams?
Like the pizza that is not delivered by the specified time, when our dreams are not realized or fulfilled fast enough we may get discouraged and “want a refund.”
While society still insists on quality, faster seems to be better, with quality plus speed taking the ultimate prize.
It seems that so much is in competition of the ticking clock and racing time that it can be easy to forget that this is a journey . . . easy to forget that there is a process . . .
The Goddess reminds us that just because we may be ABLE to manifest instantaneously, does not mean that is always the best or desired course for every particular situation!
If the ancients wanted bread on the menu they could not just simply make a quick trip to the corner store for a nicely packaged, pre-sliced loaf. There was no wonder bread for them. The ancients needed to honor the process of planting the seeds and nurturing and cultivating the crop. Come harvest time still did not provide them with a loaf of bread. The harvest of the crop was required and then there was processing of the ingredients to be used to actually make the bread.
There was a process that entailed the cooperation of all of the elements, planning and production by the people, and the willingness to see the process through the entire cycle - all, which began with desire for the end result.
Imagine if the ancients had given up when the seeds that they had planted did not sprout instantaneously!
Imagine if the caterpillar decided that metamorphosis is just too much work, too time consuming and that the cocoon is just too cramped and confining . . .
What a world this would be with no butterflies! Not to mention a world with no bread!
Sometimes the process is actually quicker and easier than we originally thought it would be. Other times the process is slower, requires more nurturing and cultivating and perhaps at times is more challenging than we had considered. And then sometimes the process is actually experienced as being instantaneous and effortless . . .
The Goddess asks us to consider that however the process unfolds, beauty and blessings are presented within the experience of the process as well as when the end result is realized.
The Lady wishes to assure us that if our dreams and desires are not manifesting as we hoped and expected, that this does not necessarily mean that we have failed to crack the secret code. It does not necessarily mean that we are doing something wrong or not enough or too much . . . it does not necessarily mean that we are failing to hold unwavering faith or that our intentions are out of focus.
She asks us to trust that everything within the Universe is following a divine and natural process, including the process of our personal manifestation is divine and natural. There are countless reasons why each process may be unfolding exactly as it is . . .
Perhaps the one we are destined to make beautiful music with needs to find their instrument and learn how to play it . . . if we moved on without them, we may enjoy some alternate success but would miss the masterpiece we were to make together.
Reminding us that sometimes the perceived delays are simply allowances for all of the elements to come together in a cooperative fashion.
Sure there is Free Will, we have a choice and within our choices “destiny” can take dramatic and different turns. This too is part of the divine and natural process. We are asked to consider that the Universe is multidimensional, and therefore is equipped to accommodate multidimensional destinies. Despite appearances, not much is linear or absolute.
The point is we cannot fail, we cannot do it “wrong” – however the process unfolds is perfect, with experience being the prize.
Many of those who have experienced instant, “overnight” success at anything will attest that there was a learning curve that followed . . . Perhaps their soul desire was to learn how to deal with and enjoy overnight success and all that particular process entails. Perhaps in this aspect the soul quest is to explore the experience of “sink or swim” – experiencing the sweet satisfaction of being thrown into something and while under the pressure of uncharted waters allowing the discovery of new and hidden talents.
On the contrary those who endure a long, challenging process perhaps are going through experiences that will prepare them for the success that they will ultimately realize. Leaving little to no “learning curve” or need to personally catch up with the energy of the success. Or perhaps part of their soul-quest is to hone their skills in patience and perseverance . . . Then there is the possibility the soul desire is for the sweet satisfaction of reaching the summit after a long journey. A sweet prize that is!
When we perceive the process as failing to unfold as we expected, this is not necessarily due to some blockage that we created. It is not necessarily because our thoughts were not focused precisely on the prize or because we are sabotaging our success with delays created by personal doubt.
We are asked to consider that the process may just be unfolding exactly how our Higher Self had hoped it would!
Perhaps perceived delays are due to the divine orchestration of multiple factors and elements, some of which we may not even be consciously aware of until they are presented.
The Lady asks us to look for the lesson we are learning, to look for the prize within the experience of the process and to consider that the experiences within the process are preparing us to be able to fully embrace the end result.
We are asked to consider that within this multidimensional Universe, that the process is not always going to be linear. The fastest journey may indeed be a straight line from Point A to Point B, rarely though is this going to be a scenic route.
Sure, our generation is enjoying a great deal of “instant gratification” and hooray for all of the conveniences that progress and advances have provided, truly!
We are also experiencing a Renaissance of Remembrance . . .
We are remembering that each of us is the Director of our Destiny!
Not only are we remembering and realizing that our thoughts, our words, our emotions, our visualizations and our intentions provide an energetic force for manifestation, unlike any generation in our recent history, science is now proving it! Hooray indeed!!
We are remembering at such an incredible rate that just maybe there is a learning curve to catch us up with the energetic platforms that our accelerated remembrance has ascended us to . . .
It is certainly valid and beneficial to be aware that our thoughts, emotions, intentions, beliefs, etc., are forces in which we wield the magic of our manifestation. It is certainly valid that we be mindful of what we are projecting through these channels . . .
Perhaps though, the process is not necessarily as cut and dry and it is not as absolute and/or linear as it is often made out to be . . .
This may be a good thing for then the process allows us to color outside the lines, to explore the multiple dimensions, layers and levels of our ever expanding consciousness.
The Goddess asks us to trust that ALL within the Universe is following a divine and natural process. When we relax within this truth and honor the process, we will indeed perceive and experience the process, as it is, as natural, beautiful and filled with blessings.
