TLOTTW:How to move from waiting to receiving

Many of us, myself included, are stuck in the eternal waiting phase. Although we are hopeful and optimistic, even realistic in the knowledge that what we want is within our grasp, we still wait for some sift in Universe or in our minds to click so that what we want would manifest itself in our lives. This wait can be endless, for the simple reason that we cannot muster up the courage to believe that NOW is just as good time as “some day” and we have the right to be impatient and excited about the possibility of our dreams coming true now, not in the future… But in our idealism patience is a virtue, and we develop that virtue further and further, making ourselves sit and wait in perfect acceptance of what we have now being enough, even though our hearts was longing for more… Much more.

Patience is one of those virtues that I have begun to think of as my enemy, although it is something that I have always valued about myself. Self-sacrifice is another… In a movie I saw yesterday the main character died in perfect acceptance after just one night with his true love, and he promissed before taking his own life in an honour ritual: “I will search for you in thousand worlds and live hundred thousand lives until I find you.” Care to guess how many life times he’ll end up searching? A minimum of 100 001 would be my guess. If you see patience as a virtue, and if suffering for your love is a virtue to you, that’s exactly what it’s going to take for you to receive it.

“Once I find you,” I tell my True Emotion Mirrors in spirit: “I will never leave your side again. I will not spend another childhood alone without you, no youth will I waste looking for you, I will never let you out of my sight again.” Then, usually we laugh and say: “Until we get sick of all the happiness and we need to suffer again – but that’ll be a thousand years from now.” But… We won’t be expecting to search thousands of years, only say… 20? 😀

To change from waiting to receiving, you’ll need to change your ideals. Find romance in things falling into place. Rather than thinking: “I prove how much I love him by waiting forever” think: “I prove how much we love each other by simply walking into each other’s lives; nothing can stop us.” Remember that your emotions are directly linked to that of your True Emotion Mirrors and the changes in your mood will resonate with theirs. You can balance your mutual wishes by simply sending these thoughts to each other, if you are True Emotion Mirrors . If not, then you have to start thinking more broadly and call for the True Emotion Mirror instead, without the need of you knowing who it is.

We have all been raised to be realistic instead idealistic. Our culture thrives towards realism. You haven’t been broken completely, that is why you are falling short here – your friends and family who are happy in a marriage you would never settle for haven’t been broken because there was nothing to break. They were born with low expectations and “realistic” world view, but you had romance in your heart – you knew someone loved you more than you could ever imagine. You knew you could expect to experience true, profound love one day… One day. But your optimism was shattered by realistic thinking, and although they didn’t get all of you, they did take away your belief that now is as good a time as any. True Emotion Mirrors are rare to find simply because people don’t expect to and they settle for so much less. Convenient and comfortable, just the way they were taught to.

Men often expect to marry and perhaps fall in love again and end up getting a divorce. This is their fear rather than a wish. They manifest it easily, by finding their True Emotion Mirror, who on their turn is waiting to find a married man and never get him in the end because life is stupid. Both get what they expect to manifest in so many of your stories. Change the ideal and you’ll change your life.

Another thing you need to let go of is the idea that God is stopping you from having what you want because he thinks you are “not ready” and that you need to jump through countless of hoops for that to happen. It is true in a way that you need to be ready, because God won’t risk  your ultimate happiness for a short term goal, but you have to know when enough is enough. I described it like so: “I could be walking around a track in order to receive what I want. My goal is to record everything on that track, but after I gained experience on the first round, I notice things on the second round that I didn’t notice before. I could keep doing this forever and forever until I wear out the entire track, but I have to know when enough is enough.” THAT part is up to you. You have to know when you know enough about yourself and life.
