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.
