How to deal with transformations in your life

How to deal with transformations in your life

 

One of humanity’s greatest fears is the fear of transformation—essentially, the fear of life itself. Life is an endless chain of transformations; this is its very essence.

Transformations are inherently uncomfortable, as they should be. Comfort is the result of repetitive habits and the illusion of familiarity, safety, and control. Transformation occurs when the gap between our thoughts and daily life becomes difficult to bridge. Change, adaptation, and growth are necessary to return to (relative) harmony within and with life. Transformation is the bridge that leads us from our current disharmony back to harmony.

Each transformation is a step on the ladder we call “Life.” Transformations are the building blocks for the development of your reincarnated soul. Rejecting transformation is rejecting the process of life itself.

The Process of Awareness

Awareness is the process of gaining new insights into familiar events, thoughts, actions, habits, and patterns. It often begins with external stimuli: reading a book, attending a training or course, taking a class, or meeting new people. Receiving information (externally) and gaining experiences (internally) can lead to the creation of new insights.

The process of becoming aware unfolds as follows:
You encounter new external information. You can:

  1. Accept it, or

  2. Reject it.
    This decision involves both mental and emotional processing.

If this new information is meant to be part of your life’s evolution, it will embed itself in your thoughts and trigger physical, mental, and emotional reactions, vibrations, and resonances.

Two Ways to Respond

  1. Acceptance: You embrace it, go with the flow, adapt, trust the process, and support it with your thoughts, emotions, and actions.

  2. Resistance: You resist, refuse to flow, block, and sabotage the process with your thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Reactions to New Insights

  1. Guilt: This is the most common reaction and stems from upbringing. Parents often train children to feel guilt. Young children naturally do not feel guilt. When they display behavior deemed undesirable by their parents, the parents may press them until the child feels guilty. This breaks their spirit. Teachers and governments also contribute to guilt as a control mechanism, ensuring they get the behavior they desire.

  2. Shame: Shame is the most harmful, disease-inducing emotion found in humans. Shame disconnects you from part of your own energy. Its destructive nature can drive some individuals to suicide. In ancient Japanese Samurai culture, ritual suicide (Harakiri or Seppuku) to avoid disgrace was an integral part of the culture.

  3. Regret: Regret arises from conscience. Every person has two compasses: conscience and intuition. Conscience activates regret when you realize you’ve committed a disharmonious act, even as you’re performing it.

  4. Joy, Gratitude, and Excitement: These emotions reflect a positive reaction to new insights. You use them to support and enhance your self-expression and the harmony within and around you.

The first three reactions are often automatic, rooted in your biography and experiences. They stem from fear, insecurity, and distrust.

The Tantric Approach to Transformation

The Tantric way of responding to new insights is: observe, learn, evaluate, draw conclusions, choose, and act.

How to Handle Transformations

  1. Trust the Wisdom of Life: Trust in the correctness of life and the wisdom of the Universal Spirit.

  2. Avoid Resistance: The only way to transform is to participate without resistance. Steer, support, and facilitate the process without trying to control it. Guide it with your thoughts, emotions, and actions.

  3. Detach from Guilt, Shame, and Regret: These emotions are barriers that block the flow of life. Avoid judging yourself and others.

  4. Be Present in the Moment: Stay mentally present, feel and experience your physical, emotional, and mental state, and support the process by flowing with what the transformation demands.

  5. Draw Conclusions: Self-observation and judgment-free reevaluation of your needs, habits, beliefs, etc., are essential. First, ask yourself what the transformation means to you:

    • Where do you want to go?

    • What do you want to leave behind?

    • What do you want to achieve?
      Let your heart and conscience process the answers and correct them if necessary. If your conclusions are driven by fear or compulsion, you miss the essence and value of the growth process.

  6. Reprogram Yourself: Once you’ve detached from what no longer serves you, a long period of reprogramming follows. This intensive period is essential to elevate your consciousness. Let go of everything that creates disharmony in your life; embrace everything that fosters harmony. Focus on the right thoughts, words, and actions. Be mindful, 24/7.

Awareness and Self-Programming

Awareness means you can rewrite any “program” at any moment and make changes within yourself. Conscious individuals program themselves. Turn inward and rewrite your internal programs repeatedly. You are free to do what you want at any moment. There are no limits, only endless possibilities. There is no good or bad—only harmony or disharmony. Choose!

Final Reflection

The hunter sharpens his arrows,
The writer sharpens his pen,
The wise person sharpens themselves.
