The Next Ten Years of Light- Chapter Nine


WORRY NOT

In the scheme of all things, we all know that worry is a fruitless occupation and is only an excuse to stay in the same rut on our record of life. Since there really is no time, only the illusion, then there is no need to worry about getting this or that done now or to beat ourselves up after the allotted time has passed to accomplish a task. If we but look at the task as an experience, then we see it as an opportunity, once again, to focus on the now of the event and to put our input into the part we are to play in that event.

When we say, “Don’t worry” and that “since there is no time…really…,” it could lead many into using this concept as an excuse to sit around and mope, hide, or lay dormant. If that is the choice we make when a task is presented to us, then that is the path or the learning we are experiencing at that time. The key here is to realize that we are choosing to do nothing. It, in itself, is not a mistake, but unless we put the conscious mind into realizing that it was our choice, then we may keep repeating this scenario over and over again. Repeat issues, even if the names and places are different, are opportunities for us to choose again. Consciously choosing to look at our last choice and to make a different one this time leads to more growth and propels us along a new path.

Worry not! We may spend days, weeks, years, or lifetimes making the same choices. Our soul will try to give us new scenarios to appear different so that we can see things from a different perspective and maybe that will propel us to make changes. The process is continuous, and any choice we make ultimately gives us experience .

Worry not! There is no final judgment that says “You have blown it my friend…move over…someone else’s turn is about to begin.” The infinite gives infinite opportunities. The creation of creation is innately infinite in all possibilities, changes, objectives, or anything the mind can conceive.

If one chooses to stay in a worry mode, then the reasons are within the thing we are worrying about. The emotional component of the concept “worry” is in itself a red marker (talked of in an earlier chapter) for it tries to focus us on the event that we are worried about. The key here is to be able to say, “Let me look at this event and use my mind and soul to bring clarity into my now.”

Let me give you an example. Suppose you are about to embark on a trip of great distance and you are worried about leaving your family behind. You say to yourself, “Can they get along without me? Will everything work out well if I’m not there? Will they have any distress over my absence? Will Johnny get to baseball practice on time? Will Sara Jane cry if I’m not there to put her to sleep? If the plane crashes and I die, will they blame me?” All of these worries scream issues of self-importance, control, and change. If we look at the issues and spend some time on them, we may be able to make other choices in our everyday dealings and thus give the soul a new lesson learned to use as a positive example in future endeavors. As long as the worry continues, the longer we need to look at the issues surrounding the event that initiated it in the first place.

Worry subsides with action. If, after looking at the issues in the now that seemed to create the response of worry, it continues, follow the steps for releasing fear in chapter 3. As with any “road marker” called emotion, it has a tendency in this physical world to hold on tightly, and it usually takes action on the part of the individual soul to release it. Sometimes we just wait it out, and the time and other life events change our focus so that it appears to us that we are no longer worrying. In actuality, it has just gone into our cells and registers as an imprint to sneak up on us again at a later date. It is important to release these road markers from our unconscious storage bins.

Another way to release worry and other stored stuff (that needs to be released) is to have bodywork done by light workers. There are a variety of modalities available. The important thing is to find the best connection for you. While you are in meditation for release, ask for a modality or worker to be shown to you and then follow the lead. Sometimes you will be led to a place that will help you learn about a certain modality that is not already residing in your conscious mind. Follow the path and you will be led. Remember…we all have those seen and unseen that are there to help and guide us if we but only ask and are receptive to the guidance. It is not always a clear ABC type of answer, but there is always an answer.
