*It Is All One Spontaneous Event*





Q:  I'm a procrastinator, and there's...


B:  Wait a minute...  (Laughter as he just sits there doing nothing).  Just
want you to feel at home.

Q:  Oh good, thank you.

B:  All right.  Now you may continue, if you feel like it.  Would you like
to come back tomorrow?

Q:  No, I'm here.  I'm all right once I get started.

B:  All right.

Q:  It's getting started that's the hard part.  Especially...

B:  Oh, one more time; one more time.  It's what?

Q:  Getting started, that's the hard part.

B:  "It's getting started that's the hard part."  Is this another phrase
that you have chiseled into steel, when, in fact, it's only written on
paper?  When, in fact, it's only a belief?  When, in fact, it's only a
habitual way of looking at things?  When, in fact, it's only an assumption?

It's getting started that's the hard part.  All right.  Maybe that has
been, in the past, your experience.  But that doesn't mean that right now
it's still not, at this very moment, an assumption all over again; from
scratch; from the beginning.  It is just an assumption?

Why is getting started any harder than doing it?  Your society has taught
you that it is.  But it doesn't have to be - not really.

Q:  It seems like when something is important fear comes in.

B:  Doesn't have to be; but we recognize what you are saying, yes.  It goes
hand in hand with many of the insecurities, the lack of deservability that
many of you have been taught to believe in about yourselves.  "I can't do
that."

But again, remember that if you can imagine it, that's your signal that you
can.  Or you would have imagined something else.

Q:  It just seems to be a pattern  -- like you say.

B:  All right.  But again, once you recognize it's a pattern, it's no
longer a pattern.  And that's only an excuse.

Q:  But if you recognize the pattern, and the pattern continues, it's still
a pattern.

B:  No.

Q:  Apparently.

B:  No.

Q:  Oh, it's not a pattern?

B:  No.  Once you recognize it as a pattern, then if it continues, it's
because you choose to continue it - consciously.  Now, if you no longer
choose it, then don't continue it.  But once you have recognized it was a
pattern, it's no longer a pattern.

Q:  Then it's a conscious choice at that point.

B:  Yes.  The only thing that makes it seem as if it has to continue as a
pattern is your assumption that it must.  That's it.  It doesn't have to.

Q:  Right.  Thank you very much.

B:  Does that assist you?

Q:  Yes.

B:  Thank you for waking up a little bit more.

Q:  Good.

B:  And besides, you started this long ago.  You're already well on your
way.  Remember also, that starting and doing is the same thing.  It's all
one event.  If you cease to think of it as a beginnnning and middddle and
an ennnnding... and in between here... and ooh, how long is it going to
take to get from there to there, and so on and so forth?

If you stop parceling it out, it will be more of a single spontaneous
event, with the beginning, the middle, the end, so to speak, all being very
close - and sometimes even overlapping.  And sometimes, even the ending
coming first.

Allow yourself more spontaneity and more trust; and there will not have to
appear to be so many beginnings to things.  Remember, remember, remember;
the end and the means are not separate.  The end /is/ the means; the means
/is/ the end; one and the same thing.

Cause and effect are the same event, one and the same act.  Right now.
Thank you.  Sharing!
