My Patience will result in Consequent Success

Posted on Apr 21st, 2007 by Leendert : Illuminator ES Leendert
People and Friends who really know me, understand that one of my qualities is patience. And believe me the first thing an Integral Yogi Student needs to obtain is PATIENCE. :-) I have been learning to use this quality in a more consequent way recently. Since I have developed a certain habit in good practicing, I can measure the direct results. If I do things in a less consequent way, I also immediately see the effects of my in consequent behaviour. Now you would say that this is a reason to Change and it is. But on the other hand I sometimes need to be in consequent to really FEEL the effect of that behaviour. It reinforces my believe I NEED a regular consequent but free experience in my life. I have got to make choices and unfortunately I still make questionable decisions lead by emotions and externally influenced behaviour.
:-(   :-0   :-) I AM ALIVE! I can feel it! If someone wants to re-establish contact with the inner child having patience is an extra advantage. It can take a long time before the child accepts and trust my new behaviour.

I need to be very much responsible and consequent to my inner child, exactly as I have to be with my earthly daughter who I am raising as we speak. There is a BIG parallel between my child inside of me and the child my (ex) wife and I gave birth to on this world.

I have found all kinds of ways to enjoy a good relationship with my inner child, it took a while but it was worth every penny! (lol)

namaste Leendert;

Ah yes , PATIENCE…what a blessed quality to possess!

I think You wrote this post for me not for Yourself…lol . One of the things that I have to work on is patience……one of my goals in fact. This is probably the  hardest  one for me. And that pesky ego is rather difficult to tame.

I think I will be like `The Greatest Salesman in the World`…..**I must discipline myself with my new habits which is as follows……
 
I will read it each day for 30 days….First  in silence when I arise, then after I have partaken of my midday meal, and last before  just before I retire and on this most important occasion I will read the words aloud  **

`Baie Dankie` Leendert for shining the light on Yourself so we may learn…..I hope I can…
work on PERSISTENCE also!

* As a child I was a slave to my impulses, now I am a slave to my habits, as are all grown men.  My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows prepared for good seed . I will form new habits and I will be their slave*



love & light…to You,
Suzanne

PS….Chinese wisdom;

One moment of patience
May ward off Great disaster,
One moment of impatience
May ruin a whole life.

AS I said it is rather for me than You…or all the other souls who need this lesson!

love…

Children are so amazing.  They give us the gift of re-connecting to our own true essence, and resolve any unresolved issues from our childhood.

Your consciousness about have as close of a connection/relationship with your own inner child as you do with your daughter is brilliant!

And, Heather, I agree - I'm having my happy childhood now! 

Great post, Leendert - Thanks!
