why patience is key

I concede that there is at least an illusion of change, as there are illusions of time and illusions of space-solidity. But I dont believe that the substance of change extends beyond the material, immediately perceivable world, and I believe that the illusion of change arises from the tensions of living confined to the dimensions of time and space. Because we are psychologically (ego) bound to time and space, and we believe that time moves forward, that we are in motion through space, change must exist. The ego cannot process stillness...so it creates motion, change, temporality of past/future to move back or forward into (past memory and future intention).





[nothing really moves forward/back, it cycles.]





Patience diminishes the tension between time and space by bringing together "that which time and space separates..." (PMH Atwater). Patience is the gray area, a ground zero of sorts, where time and space converge to bring one to their destination, where they arrive at their intention.





Destiny derives from the word destination, "a goal which is aimed at by each individual of his own free will."
