A problem to solve

I can understand the principle of offering assistance to others, but I am still learning how to actually put this into practice. Obviously, when encountering real life rather than contemplations, readings, or plans, there are going to be some difficult situations to learn from. I am currently experiencing one such matter.

There are two separate beings that I could assist. However, I cannot assist them both at the same time. The reason for this being that they live in separate countries and need physical presence as a part of the help required.

I find myself willing to assist both and able to assist either - but not both at once. Both have major temporary problems, both are related to me as family members, both have been analyzed and are free from personal preference or 'my choice', and both are counting on me - but, there is only one me and I am unable to assist both at once.

I have tried entering the know-zone, but the preparations for my upcoming travels, difficulty with another problem, compulsory brain-washing courses, and trying to organize an overseas relocation for 'soon' are somewhat limiting my ability to rest there.

I therefore estimate that my lesson to be learned here is not am I or am I not willing to help, nor can I or cannot I help, nor am I free of personal desire in making a choice, but something else. Perhaps I have to practice waiting patiently for answers to 'appear', maybe I need to use communication with one whilst actualization with the other, or perhaps I have to find some other track from which to analyze this…

Whatever happens, whatever I decide, I am bound to learn something new to help my studies - at least I have that!
