CHANGE

CHANGE is simply the name given to the energy of movement that continually re arranges our outside world in accordance with, and in-sync with our inner world growth.

If we choose the path of self understanding, we must also be prepared for CHANGE, CHANGE and all things CHANGING as it reflects back to us our continual and rapid growth. One simply cannot undertake the path of self-understanding whilst fearing CHANGE. The pain of the Journey is not so much the strength and endurance it takes to trek the distance, but more so the pain is self inflicted is intensified by the holding on tight of our ‘baggage’ that almost pins us to the ground with it’s weight.
We would enjoy out Journey so much more where we able to cast off these weighted burdens, which are really just our fears packaged up in suitcases, backpacks, shoulder bags and large pockets. As we grow in understanding, this baggage grows heavier because it knows it doesn’t belong (untruths) anymore, and grows heavier in hope to finally drop off and be gone. All that is untrue will fall away by itself. As each chunky piece of baggage falls away, there is a major adjustment in our walk and stance and so our world CHANGES to reflect that.
CHANGE is GOOD! It’s a good thing! It means we are making choices and moving forward.

Never are we to attach any part of ourselves to any part of any person, place or thing.
How can a stage production change the sets between acts if we (as the actors/observers) hold onto and clutch to the structure and/or of the old set? How can the stage revolve if we insist on jamming it stopped with a crow bar?
CHANGE. Embrace it. It’s part of our natural state of Being.
CHANGE. It’s what we do. Yet ironically it’s what we most battle against doing, and it’s IN this very battle that we injure and wound ourselves as we struggle against what is really the most natural and instinctive thing for us TO do. To freely and continually live and flow in CHANGE.

We must, as a human race, shift our perspective and acceptance of CHANGE and shed our mislead beliefs that we have been programmed with regarding it. Like, that we must fear change, that change ALWAYS means bad things always, that change is always going to be for the worst and if it turns out ok then we sigh a ‘phew!’ that we were lucky that time, and that change makes us powerless and ever vulnerable.
This cloak of heavy baggage is a constant strain, pain and torment obstructing us from the sensual and pleasurable movement of Divine Change in motion.

CHANGE IS A GOOD THING!
CHANGE IS A VERY VERY GOOD THING!

CHANGE. It was never designed to be a punishment.

THOUGHT CONTROL

THOUGHT CONTROL


When a negative fear based thought comes in, acknowledge it for not being the Truth, then let that thought keep dancing and entertaining itself right on through and out the other side to be gone. Thoughts come in, this is their nature, just don’t believe them as they’re passing so as not to get caught up in the web of illusion that they are spinning you.
They are NOT real.

Each and every thought I have that is one that doesn’t make me feel good, is another one of those fear-based thoughts of untruths.

THEN as I catch these thoughts, I call it out as untrue and ask it just HOW has that thought got anything to do with my ‘now’ experience? It will have nothing to do with my very NOW conscious state of Beingness. So I promptly stop thinking those thoughts and don’t allow myself for even one second further to self indulge and succumb to the familiar comfort of wallowing in unnecessary grief and fear.

Each thought that I make myself bigger than, is one that goes away never attempting to return because I’ve busted it as an untruth and in my very process of doing so, it too could see for itself the untruth that it is. When a Truth is challenged, the untruth is clearly revealed and falls away into the nothingness that it is.
Bringing us back into our NOW space once again.

With all these static thoughts out of the way, I am free to fully BELIEVE, TRUST and have complete FAITH in my ‘Nowness’. In my still clear nowness, I hear clearly my Knowing as it gently guides me with directions. This is the only thing I listen to and wait for. And it does come. Always does, and always on time.

Between each direction while I wait for the next, I relax and enjoy my NOW and all that surrounds me.
The Guidance and Direction ALWAYS comes in its right Divine time.
I’ll stop this thrashing around in disbelief that is uncalled for during the waiting time in-between.
