Change

Change! It is a living and moving dynamic that dances with time and space.

(Something to ponder: Is time change or is change time? Think about this carefully and consider your own thoughts about this. We will revisit this question at another opportunity throughout the development of these discussions.)

Change is constant in this world; and, yes, change is entangled in the web of time and space.

Change does not necessarily require a personal reason or in other words, an individuated purpose. Change is part of all existence and no life is without change. The beauty of change is caught up in time and time binds us, only to release us, again and again. When one is consciously seeking change, it starts with the binding of our ways and looking for purpose; and allowing controlled change in the direction of a deliberate purpose, only to free us in the process. There is an inherent contradiction in the process of change, which we will delve into in an upcoming discourse.

Change that naturally occurs releases us from the bondage of time and situations or circumstances: When change creates a release of something (for example, leaving a career for whatever reason), the release allows for other aspects of life and living to explore. Change in the scheme of fate and destiny is intrinsically part of all life: A lot of what we choose to change is born out of circumstances or situations that are or were outside our expectations. How one decides to handle situations outside of one’s private life and personal decisions is central to one’s life path and shaping of a future.

Change, in the aspect of a release of something/someone creates a renewed sense of existence. This “opening” of life is important to experience. Loss of something/someone usually precedes the opportunity of an opening or expansion. Expansion does not just happen, it takes effort through actions and time. It is important to work with change rather than against change. Working against the tide of time creates a form of friction which can lead to conflict and turmoil. Sometimes conflict is necessary despite the imposition of friction. Learning how to handle conflict and friction should lead towards the betterment of oneself and of others, as well as communication and success of outcome.
