Resistance

[Wind]

Most people have an interest in changing at least some aspects of their persona and life. Those who come to this forum are all, expressing desire to grow and evolve. We are here to offer a platform for exactly that. However, we do not change anyone. Much of what each individual needs is their own focus of attention and their own responsibility. We provide support and guidance for you to do your own thing.

We continuously emphasize that to engage change and growth, you must ACT. You will not “figure” or think your way to a more meaningful life. It is necessary that you do stuff.

One of the things you can do is to set a daily Intent and then follow through on it. However small, this is you taking charge of some aspect of your life. It is you creating your life. It is you being the magical being with whom you have a need to align.

One of the things you can do as a daily Intent or, even better, include in your daily Intent, is to post on forum. You can post in community section or in your own private thread or in each. When you do this, you can go over your day or days. You can reflect. You can slow down and get some clarity on the rush of your day/s. You give yourself a chance to SEE or, at the very least, to glimpse. You also open yourself to guidance if you put it out there.

In each of these cases, you are ACTING and the acts are what we call “acts of power.” You are meeting the challenges that are so determined to keep you from changing. The more you do this, the more you will realize how attached you are to your past and present and how RESISTANT you are to change for a different future. Recognize this and you will feel more and more motivated to do the things that challenge that resistance and engage acts that constitute change. Setting daily Intent and posting daily are simple acts that are at your disposal if you only refuse your resistance. If you do not meet this challenge, perhaps it is time to reflect on whether you really do want to change. You have the choice of staying where you are but you may not want to deceive yourself into believing you want to change when you resist simple things that can take you down a new path.

A Warrior is ruthless, cunning, patient and sweet. How many times have we repeated this wisdom-packed mantra. However, it needs repeating and repeating. Let’s take a quick look at “PATIENCE.”

Patience is at the heart of a Warrior’s power. We do live in a fast-paced world where results are expected immediately. The internet gives us access to so many things that used to take time and effort-information, shopping, etc. Our medical needs are most often met with immediacy by telemedicine and magic pills. Our needs are met now in so many ways that it is no wonder our patience is thin or non-existent. However, when it comes to personal and Spiritual growth, there is no instant fix. We may desire and expect immediacy but it is not going to happen. This work is a lifetime journey. That means, it takes us to many places and, if we stay on track, we do grow and evolve but, as we do so, we come to realize that there are infinite miles to travel and, the further we go, the more we discover and the more we realize how much discovery remains. We find tools to help us on our journey and it is imperative that we apply these tools with ruthlessness. We work and we work. We face and meet challenges that seem to keep getting greater and greater. This is the Way of a Warrior. Many people start down this path. Some give up almost immediately, generally for reasons related to personal resistance as discussed in the post above. Others make some progress and decide they have learned what they came to learn and they go back to their old, habit-driven life where effort takes them in more of an Earth Walk direction. A rare few start to SEE the path unfolding and these people become Warriors. A Warrior is the person who practices and cultivates being ruthless, cunning, patient and sweet. These are all lifetime characteristics and are permanent fixtures for a Warrior. We know we will reach the end of our journey with miles to go but with many miles traveled while doing our best. “PATIENCE!”
