In the first part of workshop 2 we learned about the ways in which our life energy is blocked - internal blocks and external blocks and some ways of clearing the path to more energised patterns of living. This renewed energy can be harnessed to change our life in the direction we dream of.
The word "change" is a pale (safe) reflection of what we really can achieve if we want to. "Transformation" is a possibility for us if we should wish it and be prepared to pay "the price". However, a safer, more cautious approach is also valid if that s what we desire.
The price of transformation is self-honesty, courage and forbearance (i.e. being willing to suffer some initial discomfort in order to create life experiences that will fulfill us). Forbearance (endurance) comes from the cultivation of faith or trust in our inner and outer guidance.
Change and transformation both require that we let go of those things that no longer serve us - even if they were important or useful in the past. This frees-up resources (e.g. energy, time, love, money) to implement new ways of living that will be more fulfilling and less dis-heartening for us.
Where will our guidance come from?
Some people seek a wonderful super-person (guru) who will tell them what to do and how they should live their life.
In contrast, these workshops are based on the principles that...
- There is no "ideal" way to live - just many valid choices
- No-one consistently knows what is best for us - not even ourselves
- Life is partly an exploratory or "unfolding" process, requiring us to "seek our path"
- Life is partly a "such it and see" adventure in which we try and test things to find out how true and relevant they are to us and our life right now
- Other people are a source of ideas and experiences that may or may not be helpful to us
- Some of the guidance for our life comes from external signals and some comes from internal signals (inner guidance) - to make the most of our life we can tune into (listen) to both potential sources of guidance
- Neither inner nor outer guidance are right all the time - discrimination, learning, wisdom and experience all have a part to play - making life rather complicated at times, but also more interesting and challenging
- In addition to "having a good time" our goal in life can be to create a life story that is so good that it makes dying worth all the effort and sacrifice.
