The #3 Law of Spiritual Alchemy
Doing something the same way will get what you have always gotten. Who could you be when you try something new?
We are all doing the best we can. If that was not so, we would do better. (wiser choices, better responses). In other words, we can only be as conscious as we are ~ we can’t know what we don’t know. Okay, that’s settled.
What are we supposed to do if we want to change for the better and accept we can’t stay the way we are?
Get to know yourself; even more than you do already. With increased self-awareness come shifts in consciousness. Shifts in consciousness bring more self-awareness. More self-awareness (knowing ourselves) allows us to see what needs to change in our lives and what we need to change about ourselves.
Once we realize we have everything to do with what we experience, we can do something about it. Of course, we must be willing to change.
Nothing in the Universe stops changing. We can choose to consciously participate. When we pay attention, we realize we get glimpses of our possibilities. Something we long for or a way of being that has alluded us. Those glimpses cause us to consider what could be different in our lives. As we become more self-aware, we realize we need to change first.
