If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Persistence, Then Patience | Soul Definitions
Unity Consciousness #265

.

“Persistence and patience” is more accurately stated as “persistence, then patience.”

Persistence

Persistence is continuous, consistent, insistent, attention to process.

Persistence is doing what a process or series of processes require.

Persistence requires understanding. Persistence understands what must be put in and the steps necessary to create transformation so that what comes out is what is expected.

Unfortunately, it is possible to be continuously, consistently and insistently doing a lot, but doing so without understanding. When this occurs, rarely will you get what you expect.

Patience

Patience is consciously not giving up on self, someone else or something, but instead, due to understanding, allowing the process to work.

This allowance for process only applies when persistence is also taking place.

This is the only acceptable kind of patience. Patience is not waiting on something to happen or for someone else to do something. Patience is not about waiting, it is about working. This work must be spiritual work, mental work, emotional work and physical work. Physical work is not necessarily “manual labor” but it simply means some sort of physical effort is always involved in a process.


Understand greatness already within. Understand seeds of change you can also plant at various depths in the soil of a persistent, then patient soul.
