Change Is Also Restraint, Cessation, and Awareness
Changing from one thing or state to another is not the only change there is. Change is also to completely cease or exercising restraint.
When a change is inevitable, it simple means something has come to end, as all things do.
Is this something we really need to stay with, or is it enough?
This existence, simulation or otherwise, is one of learning as much as it is one of of experience; of this I'm certain.
What needs to be learned and eventually embodied, will make itself known. (Actually it is always there 'waiting' like everything else that will help us grow. We simply need to be mindfully aware)
Today, the idea of change have entered my field of awareness and I'm writing this post because it seems, collectively, change is literal; as in to change/exchange one for another, and mostly when 'forced'
I am conscious of the fact that everything is related; "this is connected to that" and so on ~ also that nothing we experience.
Just like how we happen to pick up on something is not a coincidence.
This programmed reality is built to almost overwhelm us with ques and hints of the choices that will push us further along our already chosen path.
If we are paying attention, then we may avoid the detour, and dangers of wondering off too far.
This is what accidents are; the further we stray, the more stubborn and unaware we are the greater the reminder and push.
What we need to do then is to take a pause from all noise to see what is truly going on. To understand what is being called to our attention and why.
How you are affected personally by a big corporate change affecting a product or service you may be using, it not random; there is something deeper going on, something meaningful.
I would recommend to first take a total inventory of your entire being regarding any change that is felt or noticed; directly are indirectly. Then sit with it. No matter how much time it takes.
A majority of the time fear prevents the necessary change from being seen and ultimately acted upon.
So much so that we, in an automated fashion, look for the next thing, that is perhaps the same or close enough as the previous, to attach ourselves to again.
Simply looking at any situation we are A change is involved will shift once perspective and to think deeper.
This is one of the reasons, if not the biggest one, where the wise of the old relentlessly told us to not have any attachments; and provided an array reasoning.
For as I myself has experienced, with attachments there are little to no room for change to be seen, much less implemented.
And as the saying goes:
The only constant is change
Just look around.
Everything changes all the time except the human condition.
Isn't that strange??
