34 - Hurry Vs. Happiness

Many of us are anxious, stress, time-pressured, and not fully present to the joys of our life. In our unawakened state, we feel lacking and pressed to accomplish the next task in order to feel more complete. But then there is the next task and the next. We never really rest and we can never feel complete by what we do because we are incomplete inside. That is the unawakened state. We explore our plight and the way back in this podcast.

Reviews

As you advised I am relistenig to each podcast over and over, they are all so very helpful.
I really enjoyed yesterday's Q&A very interesting, I am keen to hear it again as with all the podcasts each listen offers further insight.
Thank you so much for so lovingly sharing all you have learned..🙏❤️

Really really helpful. Thank you .
This session has made me realise that I actually fear stopping and the silence! This is for various emotional reasons from my younger days I have realised.
I am going to slowly create ‘stop’ times into my life on a daily basis. I will have to be strong to make this happen! But hopefully this pattern will then become a routine and I will stop fearing the silence. Even writing this makes me smile at myself, really .

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate you sharing stuff about your own life as well. It makes changes feel more achievable somehow.

Thank you William 🙏 I have a question (not sure if one of your podcasts addresses this, if one does, then my apologies for wanting an answer immediately 😬)…okay, so much of what you’re saying, especially directly to me when you respond to my reviews, is to “take baby steps” and “feel what comes up” and “don’t get too close to the trauma that bubbles up, because it can re-freeze the trauma.” I have been doing my best and for the most part, I think I have been doing a pretty good job. I have started to understand that the anxiety I feel that seems to come up from nowhere, even if I’m having a really great day, is my “huge cache” of repressed trauma that wants daily attention, moment-to-moment attention, because there is SO much of it and it is taking up SO much room inside me. So, I am doing my best to go against my original upbringing (my grandparents taught me that I was not allowed to be angry, hence the repression) and FEEL my anger. So when I feel it, I feel it so intensely, I’m shaking all over my body and I feel like I’m being consumed. So here’s my question: is the HEALTHY RELEASE OF ANGER negatively affecting my vibration? Does the Universe know the difference between a person who is just trying to heal, and a person who’s just enraged and stuck in that enragement? I feel like maybe I’m one of these people who has been conditioned to believe that “healing and awakening are blissful experiences” and if I’m feeling anger, I’m not only “doing it wrong”, but I’m attracting negativity…and I don’t want to do that. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for everything, William Cooper 🙏 And thank you for enduring my walls of text 🙏

Hurried sickness wow...I see how I learned to be really good at separating from self. If I reflect and look around everyone is SICK with hurry, busy and it's laughable to picture them STOPping to meditate. My spiritual journey has been personal, deepening, within. I wonder though if that is my need for safety not open to receiving from others. I know I will find stability and bliss with be my state of awareness...finding it is a knowing.
Walking these from 1 and I am seeing more clearly than ever before, not saying it has been pretty or easy. I am actually experiencing physical releases from my vessel 🦅

Thank you, William, another helpful talk. Having a long time spouse die has made me completely redefine happiness. I’ve had to redefine what socializing looks like. Regularly stepping out of my comfort zone and doing new things with new people when before, when my husband was here… Everything was easy. simpler. but i’m doing it.
I liked what you said… You are permanently awakened, but not stable. thank you for saying that. . I have really struggled with being human. and accepting that I will make mistakes again and again. I am getting better and listening to your podcast I feel very supported. Thank you. 🌹♥️💋🌹♥️💋🌹♥️💋🌹♥️
