Change for Transformation
The first
law of the psyche and of life is that energy cannot be destroyed, only
transformed. This implies change. Change is a constant of the universe
in which we live. It can go in either direction positive or negative.
Resistance to a new expression or state of energy usually cause some
degree of pain or negativity. Pain is the beginning of transformation of
energy whenever change needs to occur and there is a lack of
understanding or openness toward those changes.
Some
things within us can be changed and some cannot. We have a personality
with specific characteristics and a soul with a particular mission and
orientation. These things we cannot change. In other words, we cannot
change our identity.
However,
we can change the relationship between our personality and soul. This is
done by reducing the resistance in the personality so that soul can
readily express through it. The resistance is reduced by:
becoming more open, flexible, and receptive
learning from mistakes and from challenging situations
choosing to act ethically, virtuously and supportively of the
well-being of others
focusing on giving and sharing
broadening knowledge and understanding
growing in maturity and responsibility
Personality development is useful to soul expression to the extent that
any personality choices we make reduce resistance to the altruism that
soul urges us to express. Every time we do anything to reduce our
egotism, ignorance or inertia, we are reducing resistance.
When soul
can function more readily through the personality we are more integrated
i.e., more whole. Our higher and lower identity increasingly function
as one rather than as opposites. The process does not happen
automatically. Every step toward integration is a result of conscious
choices that we make.

1. What needs to change in your life, or what is changing?
2. In order to make appropriate choices rather than resisting
these changes, What do you need to do? What do you need to give?
And what do you need to receive? |
