In the book of Genesis is being described how God created the worlds. Whether it really happened in this way and order is immaterial and a subject of personal opinion. However at a deeper level this story contains an important lesson of Universal truth, which also concerns our personal lives. It is important to take note of the fact, that God did one thing after the other and took care to take a rest in between.
Time and place upon the physical plane come into being by one thing happening after another, by one stage of development succeeding the previous one and so on.
Also in personal life, it is only ever possible to do one thing at a time, even though your Ego-mind is telling you otherwise and urging you to try doing several things at once without ever resting. Of course, theoretically it is possible to perform different tasks parallel to each other and never ceasing from action. However by doing so you are missing life's essence and the magical power of the here-now, which is solely to be found by immersing yourself in the present moment without thought of anything beyond that. If you constantly try to attend to several things at once or are hoping to be able to do so, you are lacking the power and concentration to follow the natural flow of life. And by never taking time to rest in between in order to wait for the things you have actively done and initiated to bear fruit you are exhausting your resources. Besides, never being satisfied with your present action and feeling restless during intervals of passivity are causing unnecessary stress. The Ego-mind is obsessed with the idea of ceaseless activity because it is afraid to loose and miss things/opportunities/people/time etc. and so it never allows you to peacefully rest and enjoy the present moment as it is.
In order to become free of this urge you have to shift your focus away from the Ego-mind and instead concentrate upon your Heart centre. From this vantage point of unconditional love you are able to trust in the natural course of life and to be happy with the present moment as it is in the safe knowledge that for as long as you are putting one foot in front of the other you will get wherever your dreams are leading you to go to.
