BASHAR: Channeled by Darryl Anka "PATIENCE" B: You may commence with sharing, number one. Q: My question has to with, ah... B: Speak up and be bold, so that all may share with you. Q: Okay, my question has to do with patience. How important is patience? B: Patience, how important is patience? All right, now we have discussed this notion a few times. The idea, from one point of view, even though we understand what your society generally means by the word patience, we prefer to redefine that term in a very specific way. Before we redefine it, we can say that the notion generally that your society has, that is called patience, is similar to what we have already discussed in the tool of five, that is called persistence and conviction. If you believe in a thing, if you know that a thing is true for you then the idea is that you will have the persistence, you will have the conviction, effortlessly. You will have the patience effortlessly and automatically to continue to pursue that thing, to create that thing, to allow yourself to realize and manifest that thing. However, in redefining the notion, in giving it a different perspective, a different slant, allow us to say that we prefer to define the term in such a way as to say that you don't really need patience at all, in its classical sense. The idea of needing patience implies that you are not having a good time, that you are not enjoying the challenges that you are choosing to attract into your life, that you are not seeing them for what they are and experiencing them for the learning lessons of joy that they can bring to you. In needing patience to allow yourself to suffer through the things that you are attracting in your life, to wait them out until they go away, in needing patience, you then create the feeling called impatience. You create impatience by needing patience, at all. If you understand that every moment of what you experience is your choice to experience, that you can transform the experience in any way that you want and if you are having so much fun, at any given moment, then it does not matter whether anything else ever comes along after that at all; then you will not need patience because you will be living in the moment. You will not be waiting for something else to happen. And if you are not waiting for something else to happen and you are living in the moment and enjoying it fully, then you don't need patience, then you do not feel impatience. And, we will trust that to some degree this has answered your question. Has it? Q: Yes, thank you very much. B: Is that of benefit to you? Q: Definitely. B: Well, thank you very much and remember ... relax.
