A pilgrim arrived at the village where Abu Yazid al-Bistrami lived.
- Teach me the quickest way to reach God.
Al-Bistrami answered:
- Love Him with all your strength.
- That I already do.
- Then you need to be loved by the others.
- But why?
- Because God looks at the hearts of all men. When He visits yours He will surely see the love you have for Him and He will be happy. However, if He also finds your name written with affection in the hearts of others, He will certainly pay far more attention to you.

Hello dear friends !
As I wanted to give something back in return for the things I receive via Jane I wanted to put this reply , this theme:
It is about something I see happening around me. There is a growing tendency in the consciousness of people to speed up the ritme of the daily acitivities tot higher and higher levels. There is absolutely nothing wrong with speeding up things you do , But we have to be aware of something very important here . When you speed up your activities from within, driven by the wonderful powerful source energy that is life, there wil be good results while you keep doing the things you do in a manner as perfect as possible .But when you are driven by an overruling energy of lack of time , of fear not to be able to do as much that day as you putted , there is a negative stress response.
It ’s about that I want to share something with you. I see the tendency to speed up things out of a feeling of lack of time and it is a tendency we all have to be aware of because it is something that is present in the mass consciousness these days , that belief that there isn’t enough time to do the things, we have putted , to do. There is always enough time when you do each thing as perfect as you can while you try to love it what you do . Really it is so important that we add to the mass consciousness the idea of ” abundance in our present time belief experience ” . these days a lot of pressure is set on and by people in most of the jobs and it isn’t necessary to do that !!! really not !! Don’t get me wrong , it’s great when you can do things in a very quick way but only when you enjoy things in the meanwhile!! only when you feel that the quality of the act is good.
there is a lot of stress caused by the feeling of lack of time , that there isn’t time enoughe, and that is only a false belief in the mass consciousness. it’s a rather complex phenomenon with several factors playing part ; the fact that we have to make more distinction in things , the fact that we put ourselves to much obligations and a misunderstanding about the time space reality . I don’t wanna say that it is that simpe but we have to wake up an exercise with that thought that there really is enough time !!! And I’m the first one to say it isn’t that easy but it is so so so important that we change our old beliefs about the time reality… It is important for the coming times that we change that conviction to another conviction of ‘ abundance in the time reality experience ”
funny how I let myself go in this !! but it is so important !!! hahaha
so THERE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH TIME ,TO DO THE THINGS THAT MUST BE DONE , IN A PLEASANT WAY AND AS PERFECT AS POSSIBLE
warm greetings

Great comment, Frank! Well put. You are absolutely correct in your observations. Time is simply a manifestation of a life with physical dimensions; as long as there is life — there must be time! The more time you have, the more life you have; and the measure of your life will be determined by what you do with your time. Do you want to live a hectic, chaotic life, or a calm, relaxed life? Use your time, and choose your thoughts, wisely… These are truly the only things we have…
Thanks for the great post and the great comment! As usual, love, peace, joy, and wisdom are always on the menu here at Cyres Cafe!
May Peace Be With You ALL!

*sigh* I truly needed to read these words. As I was reading them, a sense of peace and relaxation just washed over me, and I truly appreciate them. These words, as well as the added bonus of “feelings’!
I HAVE been scurrying around these past two weeks, feeling like I “never have enough time!” to be getting done all the tasks that I feel are so important. I could feel myself becoming more and more tense, frustrated- and uncharacteristically GRUMPY!! You so wonderfully pointed out that we CAN actively change our thought process and focus to KNOWING we actually DO “have enough time” to BE creating reality in a calm, loving, meaningful manner. Thank you SO very much for these beautiful words. AND for adding to the “Happy Sparkle Thoughts” that are BEing positively added into this awesome “Uni~verse”.
