Understanding timing ends the struggle and restores flow
Forcing what isn’t ready burns you out.
Ignoring the moment when it is ready leaves you behind.
Both are the same mistake in different costumes — forgetting that everything has its time.
We all know the feeling: pushing so hard that every step feels heavier than the last, or waiting so long that the moment quietly slips away. The cost is the same — frustration, regret, and the sense that life is always slightly out of reach.
It isn’t life that’s out of sync. It’s us.
The universe is a living organism. It moves to its own rhythm, its own beat. To fight that rhythm is like trying to swim against the tide: exhausting, demoralizing, and ultimately pointless.
As we live in a rather disconnected society, where we act as if it is us against the world, we become unable to listen to the queues. Everything is relationships — with yourself, with others, with nature, with life itself. Successful relationships require us to listen. To not ignore the existence of another part in this relationship — otherwise, you cannot dance together.
It was never you, or me, against the world. It is us with the world. But for that, we need to return to dance with the world.
This is where the Hermetic principle of rhythm comes in. Hermetic principles are not articles of faith. They are observations — distilled long before modern science — about the patterns that govern life. They don’t wait for your belief; they describe what already happens. To ignore them is not rebellion, it’s denial.
And denial has a cost: frustration, confusion, the sense that life is “against you,” when in fact you’re simply out of step with how it works. Like hitting a wall — simply because you refuse to see it in front of you.
That’s why so much of life can feel “wrong” even when, in truth, everything is moving exactly as it should. The wall you keep hitting isn’t a mistake — it’s reality showing you what you refuse to see.
There is a time to act and a time to wait. Forcing when the tide is against you leads to exhaustion. Hesitating when the tide is with you means the door closes. Both create suffering — not because the world is hostile, but because we ignored its rhythm.
Living in rhythm is not passivity. It’s alignment, bringing us into oneness. It’s the ability to be present and listen, the discernment to know when it’s your moment, and the courage to respond.
For just as we can force and struggle, we can also miss opportunities, for the timing does close and goes.
“Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.”
Stop Fighting, Start Listening
This is the essence of what I offer in Personal Guidance: a space to see clearly where you’re out of rhythm, and to realign so that decisions feel natural and timing precise. It’s not about forcing or waiting forever — it’s about recognizing when life is moving with you, and stepping into that moment.
What It Really Means to Be in Rhythm
Everything moves in cycles — expansion and contraction, rise and fall, in-breath and out-breath. To ignore this rhythm is to live in resistance. To acknowledge it is to move with life, instead of against it.
The invitation is simple: notice the beat that’s already there. Listen. Act when it’s time. Hold when it isn’t. Trust that the rhythm itself carries you — not as a guarantee of ease, but as a way of being that brings you into oneness.
Because when you honor rhythm, you stop colliding with life. You dissolve separation. You start being one with it.
