Are You In A Creative Void?

From Linda Mackenzie

Coping With Spiritual Timing

Blocked? Frustrated? Know you are doing things right yet there still doesn't seem to be any movement towards getting your goal. Spiritual Timing may be the answer. To determine if Spiritual Timing is the cause of your delay, you must first ask these questions.

Are You:

  • Trying to control the situation?
  • Worrying about what people will think?
  • Confusing happiness with fulfillment of desire?
  • Insisting that your way is the only right way?
  • Rationalizing your situation to maintain your own independence?
  • Living in the past or future and not in the moment?
  • Trying to stop change?
  • Setting up too rigid goals and paths to manifest your goal?
  • Setting up expectations for outcomes?
  • Trying too much or too hard to fulfill your desires?
  • Using the ego to set up significance, projections, feelings or attitudes towards accomplishment of your goal?

If you answered YES, to some or all of these questions, it may be your personal growth that is stopping you from actualizing your goal.

To eliminate these obstacles you must work on eliminating negative thought patterns that may be getting in your way.

If you answered NO to all these questions, the next step is to find out if you are in a place that I call the Creative Void. A Creative Void is a time in your life where you are shifting, adapting and getting ready for a major change. It is a spiritual growth time, where like spiritual timing, there is little or no movement. You may or may not know what your next step towards your goal is and you might not even know the goal. You feel and know a shift is about to occur and things around you don't feel exactly right - but nothing seems to be happening. The Creative Void may be a time for information gathering, reflection, sitting still, eliminating things that are no longer necessary in your life. It is the time of spiritual growth and advancement towards balance in your life. To determine if you are in a Creative Void time here are some of the questions to ask yourself.

Do You:

  • Hold on to ideas, methods or things that inhibit your spiritual growth?
  • Need to get rid of attachment to people, places or things?
  • Want to find the missing balance in your life by including time for: Spirituality? Self? Family? Significant Others? Community? Career?
  • Need to let go of negative emotional situations?
  • Have to eliminate sources of fear in your life?
  • Need to make and accept changes in your mind, body or spirit to allow change to flow?
  • Have a need to find your purpose or service in life?

If you answered YES to any or all of these questions, you must honor this time of spiritual growth. Consider these things as opportunities for growth and work on them one-by-one. Always remember that the Creative Void is a time to resolve issues and allow balance to come into your life. It is the time to throw away the old and invite in the new. As issues and balance are resolved in your life, action will manifest and movement will follow.

If you answered NO to all these questions, it may be that Spiritual Timing is at work.

Synchronicity

Spiritual Timing is what I call God's Timing. It is a time when everything is in synchronicity. The right time, the right place and the right action all manifests when it is exactly right for everyone and every thing in the universe.

Everything is comprised of energy and we are all one. Therefore, every thought or action affects not only us but the universe as well. Negative thoughts produce negative energy just as positive thought produces positive energy. Universal truths (e.g., the power of love) are not perceptions and have their own energy.

Our perception, which is another energy, is just that -Our Perception. Every thing and everyone's perception is different from each other and is dependent upon their individual life path journey. When you think about the magnitude of all this perceptive energy it can be overwhelming.

Think of the energy of a flower growing, an ant busily living its life, the earth's energy or the individualized perceptive energy of the billions of people on earth. Each and every thing with its own energy!

Spiritual Timing orchestrates this energy for the good of all. Not just for the individual but for everything, everywhere. You may be coming from the right place, doing everything right, having the right thoughts and providing the right energy, but perhaps somewhere some thing is not ready for what you are to manifest. Synchronicity is missing, so Spiritual Timing comes into play.

When Spiritual Timing is the cause of lack of movement towards your goal, patience and acceptance can help you cope with the delay. There are no mistakes and there is a reason why everything happens or does not happen. Remember that we are comprised of body, mind and spirit and some or all of these areas can be addressed to help you wait until the Spiritual Timing is right. However you choose to cope with Spiritual Timing is exactly right for you. Here are some hints that I use when I get into Spiritual Timing.

Reduce Your:

  • Physical Stress by taking care of your body - Eat a proper diet - Take the correct dietary supplements and herbs - Get enough rest and sleep - Exercise
  • Mental Stress by quieting your mind - Accept that things are exactly right and stay positive - Understand that there are no mistakes and things will manifest when and how they are supposed to - Let Go and Just Be without expectation - Meditate and Pray
  • Emotional Stress by releasing attachment - Maintain an attitude of love, joy and happiness - Know you will be provided for and everything's all right - Practice patience - Gain comfort knowing that things are happening for the good of all
  • Spiritual Stress by cleansing yourself of negativity - Feel and connect to the Oneness and Universal Love - Trust your inner guidance always - Know that everything is exactly right and the solution is being taken care of

Following these hints doesn't mean that Spiritual Timing will work any faster. After all time is man-made and not a prerequisite to the master plan. What will happen is that you will feel part of the whole, gain understanding and peace and be able to assist with even more positive energy.
