Wanting Change

Change is not going to happen en masse. It’s is alluded to in both politics and religion, but it doesn’t take place. The only change that’s possible is when we stop holding a fixed position as our usual self.

The practice of sitting in silent awareness and not following mental distractions is the first step in training our mind to stay still, so that we can “come to our senses”. Just resting, relaxed and open to all sensations without fixating on the experience refreshes clarity. It’s just being alive to orderliness, outside the reactive chaos all around us.

Through the practice of meditation, we become less reactive and more calm because we are released from our self, and so are released from reactions.

Meditation isn’t religion; it is dropping all ideologies, and we start to see the cycle of events that have become predictable. There are very few people we can talk to about this, as most are caught up in their pattern of opinions/beliefs.

Change occurs when we break our mould.

Actual change is both a shock – and a joy –
as we have to let go of our past – and our confusion.
