David’s Guidance – 11/28/11: “The Time To Handle a Spoon For Knocking’s Sake”

The person writing knocks spoons down against the side of a bowl when she’s done with a batter. She makes raps against the rim, marking beats till the batter is gone from the spoon. Then she washes the spoon, puts it away till she takes it out for the next mix-‘n-beat session. We talk about this because there is a pattern, a rhythm to this exercise. One takes the spoon for knocking’s sake if they’re ready to complete an assignment, a task. We believe you are all able to do this — know when the assignment’s ready, done and the spoon is to be knocked.

Go get the spoon. Are you sure you want to complete the task you began? Do you think the task has merit? Are you involved in the task because the person with you said, “I want this. Please do this.” Many get inside feelings that the task they are involved in does not feel right. So, in this case, do you have enough oomph, or strength to say, “I do not wish to continue doing this. I wish to stop…now.”

Many stop tasks, or assignments when they feel no one listens and an audience is lacking. Others do not continue due to sheer pressure from others to stop. Do you continue because others egg you on? Do they make offensive comments? Are you pushed, prodded? How do you feel when one disregards your feelings and encourages you to do something when you said you do not wish to continue?

All these situations lead one to despair. Encouraging words are needed to allow the person more time to think how they are able to improve their situations. If some are not encouraged, they could fall deep, deeply down.

Oh. We say it is very important to support one if their task, or assignment makes them happy, fulfilled, joyous, complete. This is beautiful. We do not, however, find encouragement to be worthy of praise if a person doesn’t wish continuance.

How do you see yourself? Are you a true believer in yourself? Do you have common knowledge that all men (and women) are (created) equal and they go through life on even footing? They share similar traits, values, yet there are real differences.

Men walk lightly when asked to perform menial tasks. Men do not wish menial. Men prefer larger tasks. Women prefer menial as most physical, laborious exercises require brute strength that often is not possessed.

We discuss differences in generalizations, yet the point here that is made is you wish balance, agreement, yet it can be difficult by gender and human discord. To clarify, men and women may wish to get along and tasks can be managed together, yet since they each think a bit differently, agreement might not always occur. If one wishes light and the other less light, it is possible the decision will be reached by compromise. Not all decisions will be easily made. Not all will be managed well. Not all people will see your side and agree. Men and women may not see eye to eye.

This is discussed here because decisions about tasks are made with others. We need to take others into consideration when we decide whether a task is worth stepping into and counted as worthy of our time and effort.

If the one you love is trying to make you do something you do not wish to do, what do you say and do? Do you sit? Do you silently agree? What do you do? Do you go ahead willingly if you do not wish to do it? Why? Fear is the reason. Why do you fear? What is the fear about?

Go to the place where fear traps you. Do you find why here? OK. Now say, “I sit and believe fear is made to go to a place far away. Fear does not serve. I free myself today.” Take fear. Let it fly. See it carry away guilt, shame, many such feelings that weigh you down.

It is here we ask whether you know if fear holds others back from stopping the tasks they are engaged in. Can you share knowledge with them to help free them? Is this possible? Sharing that you see something they do not see is a gift to share. Rescuing is not acceptable. We do not discuss rescuing. Each person ultimately makes decisions. You are to ponder, ask, note, share. This is the gift to offer one if you’ve observed they are stuck doing something they do not wish to do.

How do you change a battery? Car? Household? You hook it up and watch energy flow through. The person sitting charges her battery each time she works. We enjoy this as we help energize her with this piece. She continues because it feels OK, makes her think, ponder, laugh. Then she goes to sleep when she’s tired. The day later, she’s ready and we give another. If you are ready to work endless hours and feel you can continue at the rate you’re working, go on. If not, consider why you are not stopping. Why?

OK. The people learn from my pieces, so I will make note that she sits, learns because she has to. She has to do this. If she were not, we’d fight. (laughter) (Part of the) Plan to write here on Book of Light. We note this because certain activities you engage in are planned before you came to this life. Some behave in ways that are strange, yet it’s part of the Plan. Go find one engaged in activities that suit them well. They say, “I feel great! Love my work!” Others engage in activities unhealthy. Part of the Plan, yet they choose this to consider another way to be. If unhealthy, consider whether you need shifting. If healthy, are you balanced and at ease? You know. You are the one who determines your life and how it runs. Not me. Not others. You run the show. You create the magic and make the lights go on and off.

How do I say more? No. No more. This is good and all we know is that you mumble, “Hey. I try and it’s OK. I’ll do it again if it’s meant to be. Can’t change. Don’t wanna. Can’t.”

So, we think you know what to do, how to do it. It is your trip. Your show, movie, play. All rides in your hands. That’s the story to tell.

I leave you with this: When a person asks you whether you are doing something because you are happy doing it, what do you say?

This is all.
