EARLY-MORNING MOMENTUM

I wake up every morning at around three o’clock. Many years ago there
was a great poet named Rumi, who said, “The morning breeze has secrets to
tell you. Do not go back to sleep. Do not go back to sleep. Do not go back to
sleep.”

I’ve written many of the books that I have written when I’ve been
awakened like that. What is it? What is it that awakens me? It’s like I can
almost tell you the exact time.

In a film I did years ago, called The Shift, they show a clock and it is 3:13
A.M., almost to the second, every single time. Is that the angels? Is that
Divine Source? Is that someone saying, “This is your purpose; this is the
time when there are no distractions”?

The thing we most want to say is that Source is available to you at all times.
But what is important about your story is that for some reason that is the time
that you decide to listen.

But there’s nobody  else    around  to  distract    me.

And that’s the important conversation to have. So what is it about that time?
What is it that’s happening that makes you more resonant, more receptive? It is
that the momentum of your thought has stopped while you are sleeping so there
is no contradictory vibration going on within you. So now you are more likely to
hear.

Esther has been saying to herself when she awakens in those early-morning
hours, “Am I awake? Because if I am awake, I am going to get up.” In other
words, she can more easily pick up on the thoughts we are offering because of
the absence of resistance at that time. That’s what you’re talking about.

Yes. But I find for me, the most creative moments are during that middle
of the nighttime.
