The Inhale and the Exhale. Constant Change.

The life force in this dimension of reality that we are together experiencing is built upon one thing. Constant change. The inhale and the exhale. Birth and death. This is the essence of life itself. Without change nothing can happen, nothing can exist.


Our programmed minds fear change, and most of all fears death. For our body’s mind simply cannot see beyond death. Our mind fears change so much because the mind cannot control change. The mind likes to think itself perfect, always right. Change itself implies that things cannot be stagnant, therefore we can never truly be correct. Ever. If things are constantly changing, the information our mind tells us must be constantly reevaluated. Yet the mind does not want to reevaluate itself over and over. Again, this implies that the mind was not correct or could be wrong. The mind simply hates the idea that it could be wrong.

Our whole body resists change. This is not its natural state however, this is its programmed state that loathes change. Just watch people. You will notice most people tend to hold their breath unconsciously. You will also notice how deep people will dig their heels into the ground before letting themselves be pulled under by the current of change.

This resistance to change makes the change itself seem that much worse, that much bigger. We turn a mile walk into a 30 mile marathon simply by resisting the inevitable change.

I must admit, my first lesson of this came to me the day I brought my daughter into this world. Though it took years for the true wisdom in this lesson to sink into my consciousness. In a very real and physical way, I learned how powerful our perceptions can be. The pains from the birthing process are legendary, any mother will tell you of the powerful changes that occur during this process. Physical, mental, and emotional. I credit my ease during the birthing process to the mental and emotional preparation I did before hand. I took the time to understand what my body would experience and why. I understood fully it was a temporary pain that was necessary for my body to give birth. Instead of clinging to each moment of pain and agonizing over it- I felt each labor pain, and I let it go. Felt the next pain, and too let that one pass. My true focus was on the whole journey, to see the process through to the end. Before I knew it, my baby girl was born and the pain subsided.

The pain of change is very real and it is a necessary part of the process of life. Agonizing over every second and whim of change distracts from the final result. Life itself.

I am constantly finding myself back at this piece of wisdom. Life itself is change. Resistance to change is resistance to life itself.

this is great. i often talk to my friends about pain and such and felt that one analogy encompasses a big portion of how to deal with it. I use the star and the black hole. If the body is a star and pain is energy, one can either hold it in and collapse within one self, pulling in ones enviroment, be it house, friends or family or one can let it go shinning brightly in hopes of being able to be born again into a new star.

i hate pain but i invite it into my life because we are afraid of two things, not getting what you want, and losing what you have, when i am afraid of something i ask myself which one it is and it helps me to realize where my fear is coming from

Great analogy and 100% true. It is a scientific proven fact that our perception and feelings we carry effect the world around us and the life we lead.

Absolutely.

Without pain how can we define pleasure? Most people don't want to think about that.

Two forces motivate everything we think, feel, experience, etc. love and fear. Finding the root of our fears is seriously one of the best things you can do for your own well being.. usually when one seeks deep enough, we find that all our fears come from ourself and no exterior force.
