lack of time? money? or both

[Plenum]

a lot of people on these forums have big dreams. Lives they would like to see fulfilled.

and yet, it doesn't seem to eventuate, at least in the short term.

the deciding factors seem to be:

* lack of money ('I don't have the resources to fulfill my dream')

* lack of time ('I'm too busy with work or family to meditate more often, or do the inner work that I know I need to do')

3d life is inherently about constraints, and making wise choices about the allocation of scarce resources within our reach.

so what's stopping you from being entirely fulfilled and actuated?

time or money?

and how to change the situation?

and how to change the situation?

Probably, by building a like-minded community. For e.g., very strong LOO enthusiasts would likely make a good community, as the LOO offers many of the psychological fundamentals and cosmic understandings for a consensus based group living, or at least increases the potential, exponentially.

I retract this post. I have come to the conclusion that some of this resistance was from the inside. Though appears to be from the outside!

Well my big thing is now, and has been for a long time, music. I like to play guitar and construct songs. (Although the term music could mean another instrument). This is the area I FEEL I have been guided, and I don't consider praying for guidance to do with my path if I question it, because I know exactly where it will lead; back to music. I've also have musical 'roots' and it has been a constant in my life whatever else is going on.

Also I just feel very, very ill if I decide to not do music and have to surpress myself loads.

At first my barrier was that whenever I would do it I would get asked to do something else, I could not just sit down and play. (Get dinner etc.) So I got far better at doing things which are mundane. I would have enough time to do whatever, and still have personal time.

But many times things have stood in my way. I have for instance, gotten ill for periods of time. Or there is an emotional 'drama' which stops me really being able to be at all focused. Although sometimes I write very good songs in this place. (Or poetry). Lack of money has been a problem, I'm hoping to get money soon so I can kind of, just live normally. Have a bit of a social life or whatever. Buy a few clothes.

But the real problem. After all this, is that life just takes it's toll. I can write a song whenever I sit down and play, but the passion with which I started has disappeared a bit because it is a disappointment every time I am interrupted, or I am dragged down by spending too much time alone; or I don't eat properly. Whatever it happens to be.

When I sit down and start to play on my guitar then all of time stops.
It's like I enter another world.
It's wonderful.
I would rather live in astute poverty than be denied my right to make music.
My soul can express itself - perceived problems are given solutions.
A connection to the Divine.
I have only a cheap guitar but it can make some pretty rich sounds.

In attempting to understand my geographical isolation and perception of being "stuck", I was finally told that I am still undergoing training. If I was to live in a more enjoyable location I would be too distracted to continue learning what is important. The interesting thing is the training "completion date" aligning with answers and dream "dates" that others have described to me. I should be experiencing change soon.

This belief;

3d life is inherently about constraints, and making wise choices about the allocation of scarce resources within our reach.

We need to be careful about what programs are integrated within the psyche of the individual, for this will dictate the 'output' and 'frequency' of the field and thus what is perceived in return through resonance. The 'external' is a reflection/mirror of the 'internal', and thus will always reinforce the current state of the individual in their beliefs and patterns of mind, be it conscious or unconscious. Often it's simply a case of getting out of the way of our own selves. You are supported in doing what you do not love to do, so why wouldn't you be supported in doing what you do wish to do, particularly if it pertains to expansion of awareness?

Alan Watts has a good piece on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZhIjGIdLQ4

Each time I do the Tarot my 'future' always comes out as extremely positive. This only started happening when I accepted more of my self and acting in accordance to my 'needs' rather than 'wants'.

Yeah!

I find many good aspects to it. For instance, you become more aware of whatever is going on inside.

When writing songs there are intuitive leaps made that I'm surprised I'm capable of sometimes. Or chords that happen before you have thought of them but which are perfect, or notes.

This is interesting. I picked up a dream today as I was watching a DVD of mine and both the dream and the conversation on the film were about 'football'.

It seems to me a nudge toward the fact it is all part of the plan. Or some sort of being 'in tune.'
