1993.01.19 Aaron on Impatience

[Plenum]

this is from the Aaron/Q'uo dialogues, sesson 13:

- -

One of the illusions in which you dwell, and which you rarely see, is that all of your reactivity against another is truly reactivity against the self.

This is an unqualified statement:

All of your judgment against another is judgment against those faults perceived or manifest in yourself.

- -

You may judge another’s impatience while you do not portray the quality of impatience; but somewhere in your heart you feel the arising of that impatience, and so another’s impatience is judged and found disturbing to you.

and although the general principle being examined is that of reactivity, the specific example given is highly relevant. That of impatience.

it especially applies to those who are maybe a bit older, or more experienced, in relation to those younger and perhaps given less experience.

the impatience often arises as: "grow up, learn faster, here is how you need to change" ... without the acceptance of one's own past and mistakes and missteps. This is the kind of impatience that is oversolicitous is handing out advice, being too eager to assist (when unasked for), and feeling the weight of trying to 'save the world' ... when all that is needed is to 'save' and forgive one's own past.

indeed, all reactivity is against oneself, and what we see in the world is a projection of preconceived mental patterns that are just asking for more attention to be balanced, and finally released.

I found the Aaron/Q'uo dialogues a bit difficult to get through before, but there are the occasional gems that highlight a profound point, and drive a nail deep through the illusion, and offer a pinprick of undistilled intelligence to shine through.

peace and namaste.
