Numbers 9:18 · World English Bible
At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
There is a deep intelligence at work in you, and it does not move according to the restless timetable of the mind. The people wait beneath the cloud, and when it settles they settle, when it lifts they rise.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.
The same verse, read by one tradition.
EGO & BEING
There is a deep intelligence at work in you, and it does not move according to the restless timetable of the mind. The people wait beneath the cloud, and when it settles they settle, when it lifts they rise. This is the whole art of a life lived in presence. You stop demanding that the next thing happen now, and you let the moment show you when to move.
To rest in your tent while the cloud abides is not laziness but trust. When you stop resisting the stillness, you feel that the same power moving the world is moving you, and you rise only when it is truly time to rise.
Ego v. Being lens
What are you pushing on that has not finished getting ready?
The sage acts without forcing. Things get done because the right moment was met, not because it was dragged forward.
The skilled swimmer does not fight the current, he enters where it carries. Timing, not effort, is the whole art.
The same nature that moves the seasons moves you. Resisting its pace is the only thing that makes the waiting painful.
