Hello friends,
no way, we’re on the last article for this week before we go into Christmas. How’s that for divine timing? Talking about divine timing, this article dives right into that.
I don’t think I’ve ever sung a Christmas song with you.
Come on! Let’s sing one together before we part. I’m not sure where you’re off to or when you’ll return to my website, and if you don’t celebrate Christmas, let’s sing one anyway.
Alright, let me go and see the number one Christmas Carol. Let’s keep religion out of this just for this one moment, for the sake of Christmas and unity.
Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
‘Til He appeared and the soul felt it’s worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn’
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels’ voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn’
Fall on your knees, oh, hear, hear the Angels’ voices
Oh, night divine, yeah, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
Oh yes, said rise (oh night divine)
It is the night of the Lord savior’s birth
Oh, night divine (oh, oh, Lord, baby)
Oh, night divine (it was a holy, holy, holy, oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh night divine)
This is a (oh night, yeah, yeah)
Oh night divine, oh night, holy night!
Oh night divine, oh night, holy night!
Oh night divine, oh night
Oh night divine, oh night, holy night!
Omg! Did you know that I never knew this Christmas carol? I just listened to the live version Oh holy night – (Live) – Hillsong Worship after trying to remember how it sounds while I said the words. For me, listening to it, was really like listening to any piece of music, for me, it doesn’t speak of religion just because it sounds so great.
You know when I said let’s sing a Christmas carol together, the first song that came to me was the one that goes lalalala la la la …la (full of laughs) I bet you got that one, pretty obvious even if you’re not Christian.
Alright, whizzing back to the topic What if the guru and a father (for those who don’t have a father)/mother is your teacher in life? And if you have neither? What if I told you the clue to where you are in your life currently lives in this question?
Okay, have you seen yesterday’s article? If you haven’t read yesterday’s article, then please read it. That article (the question that asks, “What do you want?”) prepares you for this article.
Alright, where should we start?
Okay, so here you are, born from the making of both parents. Life happens, and you’re being raised by maybe just your father, or maybe just your mother. Maybe your parents never married, maybe they’ve separated, and maybe you’re torn between two homes.
You still do not know who you are, what you want, where you’re going, hence why either one parent or both are there to guide you. Maybe you lost both your parents. Who is guiding you? This is a crucial question to What if the guru and a father (for those who don’t have a father)/mother is your teacher in life? And if you have neither? What if I told you the clue to where you are in your life currently lives in this question?
So, you’re placed in the care of two, one or some wonderful person. Maybe you don’t feel that right now. That’s alright. Keep focusing on reading this, things will get clearer. Did you know that there are very few people on our planet that actually have a guru that will lead them to their highest, truest, lives, i.e., the one that, call it whatever you want out there, has designed for you when he/she/it made you? To be able to be the guru and a father/mother you’d first need to recognise something about yourself. Maybe an unfulfilled dream of yours will be carried out by your children in their highest, truest selves. Maybe recognising that the job you’ve been given is not only that of a father/mother but could even be that of a guru. Very seldom does anyone really look at it this way. Very seldom will your children look at it that way.
So, what if we looked at it as we’ve been created by the creator and with our creation, he/she/it knows our potential and lets us choose what it is we will become the best at when we’re down here on this planet? I mean we won’t ever know how much of a choice we have from all the things that go on in all the planets in the god knows how many galaxies in this entire space/universe. We, all we know is our existence in the form we come in.
You know, I once looked at the concept of why we’re sent here and placed in families, packs… united. I believe I observe this in this article My father beyond this world and my mother, earth. How my new relationship with my parents has led me to this article
So, now going back to yesterday’s article. The question, “What do you want?”
There you are, somewhere along the lines you have not chosen initially what it is that you want to do in the future. In the past, mainly back in the past someone chose this for you, someone/something planted the seed in you. If this isn’t destiny then what is destiny? This was maybe something you chose long before you got here. (complicated right?)
Okay, let’s forget you chose it, it chose you, and bla bla…
There you are, practising, carrying out what you love, passionate and good at and you’re getting better and better. Maybe along this road you got lost, you’ve never returned to what you love, passionate about and good at, maybe you felt that what’s possible for everyone in this massive universe, and for those who actually get it, is not possible for you, but what if it is?
Now let me get into this clue in What if the guru and a father (for those who don’t have a father)/mother is your teacher in life? And if you have neither? What if I told you the clue to where you are in your life currently lives in this question?
You know, people quit. Maybe some quit when they’re so close, they just never know how close they are. There’s no sign saying you’re close, there’s just the hard work, and the fact is, people who work hard get their just rewards. Who is seeing this? A guru? Your father? Your mother? Your trainer? Perhaps the only person that wants it hard enough… and that is only you, but who thinks you deserve your just rewards? When you’d receive your just rewards? Nope, that’s just not up to you. – T.

What I’m saying is that something (in my belief) is watching you, is testing you. It really is, to see if this time you will budge, this time you will stick, this time you will believe in yourself. – T. Dench Patel, 23 December 2020, 16:33
So, when you ask why it isn’t happening for you right now, even if you are putting your head down and working for it when you’re close to quitting when you’re frustrated to lose the finals… Who is really teaching you? Who is really testing you? Who do you put your faith in? this last question, just think about it properly. Who do you put your faith in? I’ll add a counter-question to that… Who has put its faith in you? It takes more than just a father, mother, sister, brother, a family on earth for you to be of service globally, while it’s likely that it would take a father, mother, sister, brother, a family on earth for you to be of service in a little town, but for it to run successfully small scale or large scale it would still need more… So, that question which you answered, “What do you want?” depends on your answer/answers.

Let’s look at a few examples to secure this truth.
Ludivine Furnon studied dancing from the age of eight. She was the first French female gymnast to ever win a medal at the World Gymnastics Championships. Check out her story on Wikipedia. She was “accepted” in Marseille (when she decided at the age of eleven to try as a Gymnast – considered a late age to enter into Gymnastics). Since then, she excelled pretty well.
Geeta Phoghat – Freestyle wrestler who won India’s first-ever Gold. Based on a true story, Geeta and her sisters were vegetarian and had to eat (according to their father who was also their trainer) white meat from a young age as a source of protein. Initially, Geeta wrestled with boys (and later down the line as she and her sister continued training the boys didn’t want to wrestle with them because of the fear of losing against a girl) Geeta even won in competing with contestants who had more weight than herself. A Hindi film called Dangal is based on this true story.
In my articles, I also go into the story of Jim Carey using the law of attraction.
The reason how and why I can write this article is also partly from my experience. When you read my books The South African: True Colours, The South African: Roamer there were two times when I was kicked out of the house. The first time I was sixteen (perhaps even early seventeen – somewhere there), and the second time I was twenty-three. Getting kicked out of the house the second time was quite an awakening, it got me asking more questions (we as a family are over this, while the first time was a very backward moment in history, apartheid just ending, being sixteen, asking to go to university and the control that the patriarchal society still had in the nineties). The question that really sat with me was, who decides I would win at what I want? In the end, it’s the highest power out there, maybe that’s my real father. It’s only years of experience after, that I can actually put this wisdom down here.
And so, the question really is “What do you want?” The how and when is up to something else, maybe that is your infinite father, maybe that is your infinite guru, just saying, just wonder… and maybe you are where you’re meant to be depending on what you want… no resistance, no frustration, no anger… it’s all a matter of divine timing?
How can one have the entire world in their hands when earth is a ball spinning in some part of space, in some part of many many many galaxies, by all scientific, mathematical, unknown formulas that no human can so far decode? So, can you have the world, or does the world have you, but who’s got earth in its orbit? – T. Dench Patel, 23 December 2020, 17:23
