Stuart Wilde - Wu Wei

Wu Wei is accepting life and not forcing it. It is being aware of the ebb and flow of the seasons, aware of the spirituality of all things, aware that in the great abundance of the God-Force, there is no time.

It is knowing when to act, and not acting until you know. You can wait forever if you have to. You are eternal.

Wu Wei is being content with what you are, with who you are, and with what you have now. It’s knowing that abundances and relationships of real worth, come only when and if you’re settled. When you’re balanced, the universe provides; more will always be there. But Wu Wei is the act of not pushing, not forcing.

Be the silent controlled person who is moving relentlessly toward freedom and away from restriction – toward your goals, one step at a time, in an organized patient way.

Wu Wei is also the ability to get around the blocks you experience as you try to materialize ideas and goals.

When life doesn’t want to dance to your tune, start by asking yourself these questions:

Am I in the right place? Am I too early or too late? Am I going too fast? Do I need more patience?

Do I need time to consolidate, to create an energy within myself that is compatible with my goal? Am I trying for something that’s too far in the distance? Do I need to set a goal closer to where I am now?

Ask yourself:

Is what I want appropriate?

Does my plan infringe on other people?

Does it require them to be something they don’t want to be, to do things they don’t want to do?

If I’m involving other people, what’s in it for them? ( Maybe the resistance comes from the fact that you’ve forgotten to include them.)

Have I looked after and honored everybody – made sure they are happy and ready to perform?

Is what I want self-indulgent?

Will it assist me in growing and becoming a better person, in achieving a more fulfilling life?

Or am I just indulging myself?
