A constant factor of life is always…

“All that you touch
You Change.

All that you Change
Changes you.

The only lasting truth
is Change.

God
is Change.”

The one thing you can’t say about change…is that it’s boring.

It’s literally the one constant alongside love that helps to shape our human experience. Yet we never acknowledge the vast currents of energy that exists with the the waves as… we enter the change …. to “become” the change…then “be” what the change is calling for.

We smile, act ignorant, act oblivious as we go against the current of our intuition. Yet here’s a reflected note to self: Has your intuition every left you astray?

Some of us, as we choose the path, to go against the fear, to be who you were born to be. We stand in it. Figuring out how to live within the present, pushing past the past, as the future is created within the praxis of today. Praxis is the accumulating function of what culture is..and what it will always be. Change happens within divine intent wrapped within the “nature of reality (ontology), value orientation (value orientation), relationship to the divine (cosmology), a system of truth and methods of generating knowledge (epistemology) as well as a system of human contact (system of human contact), (praham 2014). Love is the frequency that allows you to build within this mindset. Reflected note to self: Who told you being great was going to be easy?

Only love frees us to be the beloved community we always seek to belong within while we rely on the principle of harmony within the universe as a natural order of human existence:

• The practice of “knowing that the spiritness permeates everything that is.
• The notion that everything in the universe is interconnected.
• Our collective is the most salient element of existence while the idea that self knowledge is the key to mental health. (T. parham 2014)

Nothing in this universe can survive centuries of dynasties without anchoring the human spirit of self to itself….Change is what awakens (the connections of) the spirit to love.

Reflective question to self: “if we cannot understand and love ourselves, how will we have the energy to love and understand others? (Thich Nhat Hanh)

I know this: the Sentimentality (of this world) does not exist within divine change. Change is about learning. It is love. #criticallearning
