Quan Yin
Rob: So I have Quan Yin, but she’s not on the dragon. She’s on the lotus blossom. Interesting. Okay.
Quan Yin, thank you for coming to speak with me, to speak to us. In a previous session today, I heard a question about how could/should we handle disappointments as they arise? So I’d love to hear your thoughts on that.
Quan Yin: Hello, Rob. Hello, all. As always, it is such a pleasure to be able to speak with you in this way. And thank you for receiving me.
You were correct in your analysis of disappointment. It’s really coming from a place, or that it only arises, when events of the world or events in your life do not happen the way that you expected — or as your teammate rightly pointed out, events as you WANTED them to occur — that all of this is really your attempt to control events. We often do this, even unconsciously. We have expectations. We have beliefs about what the will of Heaven is, about how events should unfold, and we develop expectations about those events and how they should unfold. But this is not always the most prudent way forward.
It’s very difficult for humans to fully understand the will of Heaven, the plan, the Divine Plan, and how all events should unfold for the greatest good of all. So it’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting something to happen, to unfold in a particular way, but this is really you exerting your own sense of control over the situations. And then, as you know, anytime you try to exert your control, it usually doesn’t work out the way you think or the way you expect.
So you were correct in discerning that the antidote to control is trust, trust in the Divine Plan. And you get there, you learn that trust, by surrendering yourself to the Divine Plan, even when you do not understand the fullness of what that plan entails. You are simply trusting that all will work out for the greatest good of all, even if you cannot see what that is for all.
It will be easy in the coming days to fall into this trap. Events are unfolding in your lives, on planet, out in a greater society and world events, that many will find disturbing, so there will be a natural tendency to have expectations about what all that means, how it should unfold, what the ramifications of any event should be. But again, there is a subtleness to this, that that is simply attempting to exert your own control, based on your own beliefs, which at this stage is not necessarily from a place of the highest perspective with the greatest good of all concerned.
And then, of course, there is also the possibility of being disappointed with yourself, that as you come to learn and witness events unfolding in a way that was different than what you expected, to get down on yourselves, to be disappointed with yourselves for not understanding the fullness of the plan. Patience! Be patient with yourself. Be compassionate for yourself. You are not meant to understand the full plan.
This is where surrender and trust come in. This is why they are part of the [Infinity] Keys, the Keys to Self and Keys to Heaven. It is you learning on the path towards your full awakening to who you are, how you fit within the world, [and] why you are here.
So again I will come back to compassion. Be compassionate for yourself, towards yourself. Just surrender, trust, and allow. Allow what is to come with grace and ease.
I trust that this has addressed your question. Again, we are so pleased with all of you and your progress on your journey to a full awakening.
So with that, I will take my leave and leave you with my blessings and my love and my compassion, for each and every one of you. Farewell for now.
