GENTLENESS & JOY. These are two of the main characteristics of God's Teachers. Power comes from God, and God is Gentle. There is no need for defense when Gentleness is mastered. Strength and Gentleness go together.
When one feels absolutely safe, there is Joy, because Joy and safety go together. And Safety and Defenselessness go together. The ego thinks the opposite—I am more safe with impenatrable defenses.
Generosity is a state of being in which I gladly give things away. What is real is increased in the sharing. The real, such as happiness, is increased the more I give it away. I give away more of my happiness, and then Happiness increases.
"Patience" is natural to the teacher of God. We have time to wait, because we know all things happen to support our greatest good. There is no fear. Everything is in its perfect timing.
