The Law Of Divine Timing depends on the ‘Gestation’ of your own spiritual evolution.  Achieving this, God’s timing will bring your desires into your life.  But first, you must cultivate awareness, attain the acceptance of what is and what will be, show self-responsibility, take action, witness momentum when things start moving, and see the transmutation (change).

An article in BrainZ magazine says, “Transformation, evolution, and change aren’t linear, and we are constantly cycling through these stages. For the purpose of explanation, we choose a starting point. We begin with awareness. In awareness, we are often caught in confusion or curiosity. We’ve recognized that there is something we’d like to change, something we’re not in love with in our lives, or there’s potentially something new we’d like to experience.  When we’re in awareness, we realize that there is something we want that we don’t have, and we come into this stage of acceptance.”

Life has not brought us what we want YET.  (However, we’ve developed the beginning awareness and we are open to this potential change happening.)  Our new awareness brings us the knowledge that we are where we are because of our misuse or lack of self-responsibility.  Perhaps we need to study our inner child with healing.  Do we have shadow inner beliefs at work? With those realizations, we take new, different actions. We may see amazing results coming with our variation to our usual behavior.

We are aware of new creative powers.  Changes in ourselves help make divine timing start to happen!

IF your Divine Timing Event depends on the Divine Timing of another Soul, then just believe that the Universe/Creator knows this and will orchestrate your results.

“When you have pain within you, the first thing to do is to bring the energy of mindfulness to embrace the pain.  ‘I know that you are there, little anger, my old friend.  Breathe — I am taking care of you now.’

So every time you have an energy that needs to be transformed, like jealousy or fear, do something to care for this energy, for this negative energy, if you do not want this energy to destroy you.  Touch the seed of mindfulness, and then all of its energy will be able to establish itself in your (inner) ‘living room,’ like a mother tenderly embracing your pain.  With that energy of mindfulness, you are doing the true practice of meditation with regard to your pain, your emotions.  If you are able to maintain mindfulness for five or ten minutes, you will experience some relief right away.

It is necessary for mindfulness to be there to play the role of mother, of big sister.  If you are able to keep this up, the result could be there, maybe, in three or four minutes.  You breathe and you concentrate solely on breathing, ‘Breathing in — I know that I am breathing in; breathing out– I know that I am breathing out.’

After a minute or two, you practice this way: ‘Breathing in — I know that I am angry; breathing out– I know that the anger is still in me.’  Ten minutes later, you will feel better.  It is a sure thing, on condition that the energy of mindfulness is really there; and if you keep it up, concentration– and not only concentration but also deep looking– will also be there.

You will be able to look deeply at the true nature of your anger.  This discovery, this understanding, this wisdom, will liberate you from your pain.”

True Love, Thich Nhat Hanh, P. 55-58.

“Have you wondered as to the purpose of pain? Perhaps you feel depressed or out of sorts and wonder why this is as it is. Maybe you’ve searched to find healing methods or alternative modalities that will restore your life to a state of wholeness. Sometimes you succeed yet at other times, you fall victim to illness and disease. Each resulting consequence takes you either closer to a carefree existence or to an existence complicated by such maladies. Do you push back on what life has to offer? Do you demand it to be without one thing or another?

Searching out solutions to new aches and pains often produces detours within an otherwise structured life. We understand that certain things are added for a purpose. They are implemented to redirect you back to the things you undertook to experience once upon a time in this life. Did you ever see pain or disease through this lens of understanding? Yet, when such issues arise, a re-evaluation must occur because you have to search for solutions to these new aches and pains.

You have to change things up and sometimes even evaluate alternatives to lifestyles and eating habits. Were you to see a benefit in everything that happens to you, could you sleuth out any benefits here? How might a course correction occur without the addition of an illness or disease? Would you even consider making changes to your routine without pushing against what is?  Do you see through those lesser thoughts and suppressed emotions you are becoming energetically misaligned internally? Release what doesn’t serve you and no longer harbor such energy within.

In other words, pain and disease are engaged when you are not seeing what you need to see. If you could see these things without pain – would pain ever be? Can you look again to find what you may have missed before? What do they allow you to see that you did not see before their introduction? After doing some soul-searching, how might you get back on course?

Perhaps you could take charge of your thoughts. Take charge by redirecting those errant ideas when you need to do so. Move thoughts away from what you don’t want and into those better-feeling ones that make you happy. Move toward a space of comfort and joy. Move troublesome scenarios from your mind and change your focus to happier topics.  Know life is but a series of choices. You can listen and engage insights and new understandings or choose yet another path.

Choose all that moves you into a state of better alignment. This will enable Universal flow to orchestrate what may be amiss. Seek to have the Universe work on your behalf in tandem with what you seek. Do so when you set the stage to enable more to be.”

“I’m allowing myself more and more to trust my intuitive wisdom rather than my analytic mind.  My analytic mind can’t really handle the complexity of the situation, so I go from moment to moment, just listening.

When you ask me a question, I stop for a moment.  I go empty.  I’m not thinking about the answer.  I’m going empty because in the emptiness is the answer — a better response than I can come up with when I use my analytic mind to figure out what I should say to you.

What has happened to me over the past several decades, I’m sure partly through psychedelics, partly through meditation, through grace, and through evolution, is that when I don’t need to think about something, my mind is empty.  I’m not thinking.  I’m empty.  I’m just here.

Listening is an art that comes from a quiet mind and an open heart.  Listening uses all your senses, and it is a very subtle skill, not only with the ears but with your whole being.  Your being becomes the instrument of listening.  Your sensing mechanism in life is not only your ears, eyes, skin sensitivity, and analytic mind, but also something deeper in you, an intuitive quality of knowing.  With all of your being, you become an antenna to the nature of another person,”

Words of Wisdom: Quotations from One of the World’s Foremost Spiritual Teachers, Ram Dass, p. 4.

Ram Dass, formerly Dr. Richard Alpert, became a multigenerational spiritual teacher and cultural icon spanning from the 1960s through his peaceful passing at his home on December 22, 2019. Be Here Now sparked a watershed of Eastern spiritual traditions and practices.  Ram Dass devoted his life to service, founding the Love Serve Remember Foundation, the Hanuman Foundation, and co-founding the Seva Foundation, Lama Foundation, and the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in Taos, New Mexico.

“Accept everything just the way it is.

Acceptance is perhaps the most important attitude to overcome mental challenges in life.

It’s a state of mind. There’s no destination or goal with acceptance. It’s simply the process of exercising the mind to be tolerant of anything life throws at us.

Why is it powerful?

Because instead of fighting against negative emotions like anxiety and stress, you’re actually accepting them the way they are. You’re not bitter, and you’re not creating more negativity out of your negativity.

Through acceptance, you pave the path for negative emotions like anxiety to become less powerful. You’re not fighting against them and making them worse.

But to be clear: Acceptance is not the following: It’s not indifference or apathy. It does not involve giving up or not trying. It’s simply about accepting things without judging them.

It is what it is. Whatever happens happens. It’s about being patient and allowing the natural flow of things to take place.”
