from Bashar 1-3-97 Q: Am I spending...Am I involved in too many different activities, such as I'm spreading my energy very thin, and such that... B: You may be a little bit, but I ask you the question that you can always ask yourself. Are you only choosing to do those things that excite you the most? Or are you continuing to choose to do things that don't? Q: O.K. That's a good point. Yea, I really need to look at that. B: All right, and also this. Even if you understand that many different kinds of expressions may be representative, of your highest excitement, all you have to do, to let everything work it's own timing out, is to simply act, in any given day, on the thing that excites you the most. FIRST, then, when you can do nothing else about that thing, act on the next most exciting thing you are capable of doing something about next and when you can do nothing else about that do the next most exciting thing you have the ability to do something about to take some action on. When you do it that way, then your day will show you just exactly how many things, you need to do. The things you have no time left over to do, in that day, didn't need to be done. Make sense? Q: Yes, uh-huh. B: Does that help you? Q: Yes, and let me just repeat, what I'm hearing you saying, is just live in the moment, for the day... B: Yes. Q: Don't get caught up in planning too far forward, future things like that... B: No. It is all right to have a general idea of where you're going. There's nothing wrong with the idea, of planning, in a general sense. But also understand that as you go, by living in the present, you also create the plan, as you go. So don't allow the plan to be too ridged, otherwise it gives you no spontaneity to create the plan, for who you may be at this moment, instead of forcing yourself to continue to be, who you planned you were going to be, who you may no longer actually be. Q: Mmmn.O.K. B: Does that make sense in your language? Q: Yes it does. Uh-huh. B: Did that translate through? Q: Yes. I think you're coming through. Thank you very much Bashar. B: Thank you
