As Change Escalates, The More We Will Need Each Other...11/17/99

During this time of wars and weather, we will need to rely on one another more than ever. There are many spiritual disciplines who describe  this very idea,...at this very time. Now, here is the ironic challenge...during this time of extreme change is when we as humans, will most likely to act out. I now call this phenomenon "the passage of change". It is a form of mental, emotional, and spiritual processing we will likely  endure.

In the mental health field we see this everyday. When a person starts to make changes in their life - even if it is positive one - and in their best interest, a high risk of self sabotage exist. Not only does each individual struggle with themselves; they are likely to receive resistance from family members and friends. Does this sounds crazy and backwards?   Yes,  but true.

We as humans tend to like predictability and routine, of ourselves, as well as those around us. When change occurs in our lives (for better or worse) we put on the brakes and say "wait a minute, this doesn't feel right". It is during this time we will need to break down events into smaller pieces. Move slow, but always forward; complacence is regression. As we become more familiar with our new environment (and self), we will be able to move into change more easily. Those who cannot or will not make the changes needed, will be likely to experience shock and trauma. A typical profile of a person most likely to do poorly with change are those who try to control their environment. Some times known as "control freaks".

Those who need to know where everything is at all times. A need to make sure everything is in it's place. This person lives by a code of "the way things ought to be...this is how it is".

Those who appear to do best with change, are often those with some form of spiritual orientation. This person is able to be strong, but flow with discord and unsureness. Their external reality is less directing then their internal vision. This profile lives closer to the code of "we are all just kind of guessing". This person is more likely to encourage people to "follow your own truth, not mine". Often ones truth coincides with the other. Instead of "this is the way it is"  they say  "there is no one way". There are now several corporations who have caught on and use this principle. Instead of trying to manipulate or force employees to work by "this is how it is" they have shifted to empowering the employee and solicit their input into the decision making process. It is a huge success. (You can read more about this in my book "The Inverted Pyramid"). In what appears to be undeniable changes ahead in both weather (earth changes) and war, we will need to rely more on our intuition and our communities. Many spiritual disciplines have announced we are in times of difficulty and enlightenment. It will be" the passage of change" and how we handle in which one may suffer or expand.

The Hopi's call it "The Great Purification". I call it "The Transition". See: http://www.earthchangesTV.com/mitch/index.htm
