At the speed of a turtle … this is how it oft seems that things are accomplished in your world. In the world of spirit, where all truly understand the creative nature of thought, thoughts manifest instantly. In your world, you do entertain an idea, and at times the thought does not result in a reaction or a manifestation for some time. This is because in our world there is no time. In your world, time plays a vital role. It allows your thoughts to play out in such a way that you are mightily aware of their consequences.
You are a student in the School of Life. Study carefully how your thoughts become your reality. Pay close attention as time marches on at times at the speed of a turtle, and at other times at the speed of a hare. What role do your thoughts play in this perception? Every possible role. Life is a world of possibilities in which you make choices with your thoughts. Control them well, and use them to grow. That is why you are here.
