| [[Patience]] is allowing enough [[time]] to elapse for the Father's outcome for you to prevail.

− | [[Patience]] is limitless when you ask for it.

− | Student: Yes Welmek, I've always felt that I inherited [[wanderlust]], maybe from the [[Blue Man]], and that I kind of thrive on [[confusion]], and [[uncertainty]]. But I worry about the [[ethics]] of being over-exuberant in front of others, or too rapid of a [[change]] of the [[steps]] to [[mercy]] that we once talked about, several months ago.

I wonder if you could comment on that? | | But there seems to be a built in [[mechanism]] in us to stay in a fixed condition and not move out of fixed conditions and not to expand too rapidly.
