During a recent consultation I was introduced to the concept of Substance and its relationship to Potency. In this case, substance refers to that which is the body or content of subject matter. Potency refers to the ability to take action and get results reflective of the subject matter. After my initial aggravation at my own imbalance of the two, I am slowly becoming aware of the complexity of right action and timing for all things. While it is true that taking bold steps to move toward new endeavors is important, it is also true that the substance of those endeavors takes time and effort to cultivate. For example, a person can want to be a farmer and can see how effective farming will be for the local community but if the farmer does not have the tools in place to conduct the farming, the vision will fail to manifest.
Sometimes the Visionary Self has to await the Learner Self to become engaged in order to work together for true success.
