Good Timing
We live in a technological society that has embedded itself in all sorts of artificial timing. From the watch you wear on your wrist, to the stoplight at the traffic signal, to the timeouts that we experience if we don't log in to something on our computer soon enough.
All these external things seem to have some sort of artificial timing but that's not the one that I'm talking about. I'm talking about how nature has this delicate, exquisite internal clock mechanism that knows where and when to bring forth life itself.
Can you imagine what this planet would look like if there were no human beings on it that had lived in artificial time? Or our planet that does have cultures that lived directly in accordance with nature's cosmic natural timing? So many of these ancient cultures have been externalizing their teachings to you and I but we tend to get caught up in the artificiality of our technology.
When to wake up, when to go to work, when to cook our meals and so on. Integral health has at its roots this beautiful flow: the subtle nuances that cause a blade of grass to emerge from the soil at a certain time. How birds seem to know where and when to begin nesting and preparing to lay their eggs and hatch their young.
You and I have this same internal exquisite timing that is beyond artificiality. And it's right there in front of us all the time, pun intended. The ancient cultures taught us that there were rhythms and cycles to the stars and the planets and that we were immersed in the Symphony of energies of the arrangements of all of these celestial bodies. This became especially powerful during conjunctions, trines, during solar and lunar eclipses and so forth.
It’s hard when one is so immersed in artificial time to pause and reflect that we would be so much healthier to live in accordance with how nature already knows how to operate. And we are not in nature we are nature as much as any blade of grass or any animal.
And further there exists what are called nature spirits, beings that assist in the movement in our material environment including the spirit of the water, the spirit of the air and so forth. Many may find this humorous because it's outside of their learned experience and yet ancient cultures who developed themselves spiritually not only knew this beyond comprehension but to a state of inner realization of the truth at hand.
That is why your exposure to nature is so important that you nest yourself in that natural rhythmic cycle of all things. That you engage in spiritual practices that bring forth the good timing within you that knows where to be and when to be there.
I realized that at first thickened seemed very challenging as many of us in western cultures were brought up not knowing any difference and yet we are so fortunate to be exposed to ancient teachings from cultures that practice this inner timing as a way of life. And all we have to do is yield with our hearts to that true inlier realization of divine timing that is beyond a religious context but rather within the natural flow of the order of all things.
That, you can achieve through spiritual practices including prayer, meditation, and exercises devoted to revealing this perfect and good timing within yourself.
