In times of stress, worry, fear, there is often the feeling that if I could just get Answers Now I could take care of whatever the problem might be.
This demand for Answers Now comes from many sources, primarily fear and frustration.
Energetically frustration comes from a sense of strain, obstacles, resistance, and unmet expectations.
When wanting something to work and it doesn’t, there is frustration that somehow you are doing things wrong and you need relief NOW.
If the frustration goes on long enough or is intense enough, fear will insert itself especially in the form of self-doubt or a lack of trust in self, in the situation, in life.

You may feel pressure to get these answers immediately.

The ego presses for answers Now, especially answers which come from an outside source because in this state of self-doubt, answers within are suspect, not to be trusted.
