What Is Transformation…?

What would you like it to be…?

Is there anything in your life that you would like to be different…?
Are there elements in your life that summon feelings of resentment, frustration, anger, jealousy, fear or hatred…?

Now imagine coming to terms with such issues and being joyously happy in the process…

Imagine learning the skills it takes to maintain this joyous happiness and to deal with such issues as they arrive in your life, throughout your life…

This is my definition of Transformation…

Transformation however, doesn’t necessarily mean getting everything you want…

If you think it means that now, that’s fine… You’ll get over it once you’ve transformed…

A friend stated to me earlier this year:

“I don’t want to know the truth…! I DON’T…! When I pull into a gas station to fill up, all I want to know is that there is going to be gas in those pumps for me to put into my car…”

So… the first question for one to ask one’s self is this:

“Do I really want to know the truth…?”

There are a lot of people that claim they want to know the truth…
They claim they want to peer under the surface of what appears before their eyes…
But this can be a very painful process, full of surprises…
It can dismantle the world as one knows it…
That’s why most people prefer to remain on the surface of things…
For some it’s easier to just go home and let sleeping dogs lie…

So…

Do You really want to know the truth…?
Are you prepared to see the world for how it is, as opposed to how you want it to be…?
Not only does one have to be prepared to face what may be undesirable information…
One may also have to begin a process of unlearning some of the “supposed truths” that have been socially conditioned into them throughout their lives…

If one is ready for such an endeavor, here are some additional questions to tackle…

Are you prepared to question your own belief structure(s)…?
Are you prepared to question your own [emotional & intellectual] knee-jerk reactions…?
Are you prepared to venture outside of your ‘reality box’ in an attempt to put your ‘reality box’ to the test…?

How do you determine what is real or not… truthful or not… whether it comes from a source of accepted [or assumed] authority, or from an unknown, yet peculiarly coincidental [synchronistic] avenue…?
How do you connect right-brain dots in a primarily left-brain [entrenched] society…?

These are questions that one can only answer for one’s self…
And it may be one’s belief structure or [intellectual] knee-jerk reaction or ‘reality box’ point of view to believe that what one has figured out so far, is pretty much all one needs to know…

Is it…?

The challenge is to be consciously aware of what is occuring around us, as opposed to emotionally convinced that we already understand what’s happening, who’s doing what and how things really work…

The emotionally convinced can’t really learn anything new because they come from a perspective of “I already know!” [Whether they know they're coming from this persepective or not]…

The consciously aware will always approach information from a perspective of “What do I not yet understand…?”

Which one are You…?
