Iruka: . .....and then out to other people. It becomes a river, a channel of love. And when you see your fellows, your neighbors, with love you see them the way the Father does. And this casts out any prejudice, or condemnation, or criticism that you would have for them. This week, again, I would like as your assignment to practice loving your neighbors, co-workers, whoever you come into contact with. It maybe just a person in the store, just a momentary action of paying for groceries, or something you have purchased. Show them love, greet them, ask them how they are, and then listen because listening is part of loving. Just being quiet while they talk, just being a listening ear. It is rare in this world to have someone who just listens, without condemnation, without judgement, without thinking of the next thing that you are going to say. And they will feel that and they may be amazed. It is a rare occurrence. This can be momentary, or it can take an hour or two. But try to practice this even only once, and see if you can tell a reaction in the person. Sometimes just a smile can lighten somebody's burden. Think back to the times that a smile has lightened your burden. That's all you needed was somebody to actually look at you as a person. Not as another person to get through the line or to get out of their way, just a person. And it will make you feel better also. And now I can accept questions.

S1: Hello, good to hear from you again. Its been an exciting week for me. Do you think that I am correct in what I have stated prior to us making contact with you?

S1: Hello, good to hear from you again. Its been an [[exciting]] week for me. Do you think that I am correct in what I have stated prior to us making [[contact]] with you?

Iruka: What you shared earlier is indeed progress, a real step forward. These children are teaching you about yourself. Do you remember when Christ Michael said "to approach the kingdom of God as a child"? This can be very enlightening and indeed they are showing you some insight to some problems.

S1: Thank you. I think that is very accurate. Do you think I have a learning disability?

S1: Thank you. I think that is very accurate. Do you [[think]] I have a learning [[disability]]?

Iruka: That is not for me to say. But if you can find easier ways to learn then do so. Anything that helps anyone learn faster or better, or improves their life is worth seeking.

S1: Yes, I agree. Thank you very much.

S1: Yes, I [[agree]]. Thank you very much.

E1: Hello Iruka, I would like for you to explain to me how does one who is impatient go about getting patience?

E1: Hello Iruka, I would like for you to [[explain]] to me how does one who is impatient go about getting [[patience]]?

Iruka: First of all, if you ask God for patience you will be sent situations where you can grow patience. In other words, you will be sent frustrating situations. It will get worse actually. So it may become frustrating. One thing that might help is looking at life, looking at time in the concept of eternity. Another thing is examine what is causing the impatience. I made an assumption that it had to do with time because many times it is time. You are stuck in traffic, or something you thought would take 10 minutes is now taking 30 minutes. So if its to do with time, think of eternity and that you have all the time in the world. If when you examine the impatience, pin-point the reason and then change the perception of how you are looking at the situation. Does this help?

E1: Yes, in terms of explaining what was causing the impatience, could you elaborate on that, for example what do you mean...

E1: Yes, in terms of [[explaining]] what was causing the impatience, could you elaborate on that, for example what do you mean...

Iruka: Become conscious of why you are impatient, what is causing the impatience. The example I used of time, sitting in traffic when it was supposed to take you fifteen minutes and its taking forty minutes. If that is what is making you impatient and frustrated re-think the time frame, either accept that you are going to be late or accept that it is going to take a lot longer than you thought. Before you can solve a problem, you have to pin- point what is causing it. And examine what you think about it and what is causing this anger and frustration. Does this help?

E1: Yes, While you were speaking it came across to me that sometimes my impatience is when dealing with people and how they perceive things. Now the way they perceive it I can't control it, but I think my impatience goes up when they don't use all of their intellect. What do I do then?

Iruka: You have to love them like the Father loves them. You have to accept them. This goes along with the lesson this evening. Accept them, love them, and then patience will grow.

Iruka: You have to [[love]] them like [[the Father]] [[loves]] them. You have to [[accept]] them. This goes along with the lesson this evening. [[Accept]] them, [[love]] them, and then [[patience]] will [[grow]].

E1: OK you can say that; "I accept them and love them" but the impatience is still there because it takes time I would say for the patience to evolve. So what do I do then just I guess as I am in a situation pray for the two that are involved at the time or just what...

Iruka: Pray certainly helps, but patience does have to grow. It will not come quickly. And again if possible, change your perception of the situation. What boundaries have you set up in the situation that you can take down? You obviously have certain expectations and they are not being met. Is it possible to change those expectations and perceive the whole situation differently. Of course asking for wisdom from God will help, but you have to change the boundaries that you have put up. Does this help any more?
