Thank you! .

Thank you Raheri! I have so much to learn and this is a wonderful place for me to start.

Believe it or not I had forgotten completely about this thread. Out of sight out of mind. Regardless, let's pick up right where we dropped off.

Purification #30

Hail Lord of Faces, coming forth from Nedjfet, I am not impatient.

We all know how it is. We live in a fast-food society where we have instant gratification. We have information at our fingertips, twenty-four hours a day, every day. We expect our food fast, our items delivered as soon as we order them, always be the first person in line, and never be told “no.” And we expect this every time and become angry when it doesn’t happen. Hemet (AUS) writes that in this purification a direct translation of the text is “to hurry my heart.” It is hard to look into our heart and tell god that we are not impatient – that we don’t hurry our heart.

There are times in our lives that we want something so much that we can taste it. It is so tangible dangling in front of us that when we reach for it we just cannot quite make it. But we lose something in that anticipation. When we only focus on the ends, we miss the journey. That journey is so important. How we got there is tells a story about who we are and what we have done.

I would love for my degree to be finished right now, but if it magically happened I would have missed an understanding. I would have missed what it was all about. I would have missed the process.

Are you looking so single-minded on something that you have disregarded your peripheral vision? Are you missing something wondrous and beautiful? Stop! Take a moment to think why you want to be there. What is Netjer trying to tell you during the journey?

“Heru, Lord of Faces. Teach me patience. Take my fears and anxieties about what is to come, and help me to see what is now. Today is zep-tepi, tomorrow is its own. Today I will slow down, and listen to my heart. May it speak to me, and open me to this day and the blessings in it.”

good lesson to think about, thank you.

This lesson has given me a lot to think about. I can be very impatient, and the lesson has made me stop and think, and to realise what I'm missing in my hurry. Thank you Raheri!

Thank you for that, Raheri! Impatience is a negative quality I'm having to grapple with in my own life right now. Impatience gives rise to negative thoughts, to imagining one's own time and wants to outweigh those of others...

On this birthday of Heru-Sa-Aset - indeed, Heru teach me patience!

This is a very challenging one for me, very relevant.

This is a wonderful topic and each lesson teachs me a plethora of things to do in my own life.

"Bump" .

Thank you for posting this, Raheri.

I have to say that I try my best not to be impatient if at all possible. I do find that occasionally I'm in a hurry and need something to be done, and of course forget to slow down entirely. But for the most part, I think I struggle least in this area (thankfully!)
