The origin and causes of procrastination

In a spiritual sense, the origin of all things, and all created life, stems from God.

If we believe in God then, can we see a spiritual reason, or call it psychological if you like, for, and behind our procrastination? Where does procrastination arise from? How is it possible to arise? And considering that all things serve as in some way, when we realise that we are really a spiritual person, how does procrastination actually serve us?

Does procrastination stem from fear?

I was dreaming that I was a white man, in a community of black people. A sort of police force, or a body of ruling law enforcers, were going around, rounding up all white people to imprison, or to kill them. Some blacks disguise me in a black wig, and paint my face black, and one black lady gets a rock, and grinds it on my hip to break it, so as I will be disabled like a poor beggar, and so I will be overlooked, and not taken by these Gestapo like rulers.

This dream seems to be about fear, but what does it mean for me? If fear is indeed linked to procrastination, maybe this dream is showing me, that I procrastinate, in some area of my life.

Our dreams are always linking us to the origins of all of our current life problems. We just need to examine them, in the light of the understanding, that in some way, they always bring us the answers that fear, or procrastination, are blocking from us, and stopping us from seeing.

This dream shows me, that most people, myself included, are afraid of their own goals, and purpose in life, and will often self sabotage themselves.

Procrastination is ultimately only about self sabotage, of which it is a subtle form. The black lady that crippled me, represents my own ego, and the black community represents myself, isolated as soul, and feeling separated as I do sometimes, from all other souls.

The Gestapo type figures are enforcers of the laws of karma, or ensuring that if you procrastinate, the results of this will always return to you. If you don't call like to call this karma, it is perhaps better known as the old law of,

"What you sow, you will reap."

In the more old fashioned parlance, or ways of expressing truth in old idioms, and clichs of speech, this law comes out as,

"What goes around, comes around."

All these old expressions, have an inbuilt way of indicating, and pointing to the truth, inherent behind their often lost, and forgotten original constructions, and meanings. And there is
