WHEN YOU BAKE BREAD WHAT DO YOU DO AFTER KNEADING THE DOUGH AND ADDING YEAST TO IT AND COVERING THE DOUGH WITH A MOIST TOWEL? DO YOU LIFT THE TOWEL ONCE EVERY MINUTE POKE THE DOUGH TO URGE IT TO RISE FASTER? IF YOU DO SUCH A THING YOU MAY GET UNLEAVENED BREAD WITH YEAST.
WHAT DO YOU DO AFTER PUTTING THE DOUGH IN AN OVEN? DO YOU OPEN THE OVEN COVER ONCE EVERY MINUTE AND MOVE THE DOUGH AROUND TO URGE IT TO BE BAKED FASTER? IF YOU DO SUCH A THING THE OVEN MAY COOL DOWN AND SPOIL YOUR BREAD.
WHAT YOU CAN DO IS TO KNEAD THE DOUGH AND ADD YEAST. LEAVENING THE DOUGH IS NOT YOUR BUT THE YEAST’S JOB SO YOU CAN LEAVE THE DOUGH ALONE. I BELIEVE THE YEAST WANTS TO TELL YOU TO LEAVE IT ALONE.
WHAT YOU CAN DO AFTER THE DOUGH RISES IS NOT TO BAKE IT BUT PUT IT INTO AN OVEN. BAKING IT IS NOT YOUR BUT THE OVEN’S JOB SO YOU CAN LEAVE THE OVEN ALONE AFTER PUTTING THE DOUGH INTO IT. I BELIEVE THE OVEN WANTS TO TELL YOU TO LEAVE IT ALONE.
YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE IN ALMOST THE SAME WAY. AFTER DECIDING THE DIRECTION OF YOUR DREAM LET THE YEAST OF YOUR UNCONSCIOUS MIND TO LEAVEN IT. YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ELSE UNTIL THE DOUGH OF YOUR DREAM RISES. AFTER YOUR DREAM RISES LET THE OVEN OF YOUR UNCONSCISOUS MIND TO BAKE IT. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MOVE THE DREAM AROUND OR POKE IT WHILE BAKING. AFTER YOU HAVE PREPARED WELL JUST LEAVE THE DREAM ALONE. IT IS A SHORTCUT TO MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE. LEAVE THE DOUGH OF YOUR DREAM ALONE WITH YOUR UNCONSCIOUS MIND.
JUST TRUST YOUR UNCONSCIOUS MIND...

What a lovely parable! Yes, it is not only helpful for baking but to be patient once a prayer has been said and the problem has been surrendered.
Peter, it's so nice a metaphor and so inspiring a message. Maybe we can just let go of the problem for a while, and return to it later. This may be a way out. Thanks.
