Be the Thought, Become the Change.

Sometime in late 2007 I wrote down these words... since they resonate with what I later found within the TT course I post them here to mark my own small beginnings on this portal.... they came in a sequence.. hence the beginning starts at One!

ONE

What most
of us wish for is for meaning in our lives, and for our lives to have purpose
to us. Without this sense of purpose our lives seem incomplete, and it is this
sense of ‘something missing’ that leads to finding compensation through other
‘means’; such as addictive activities and dangerous pursuits. Ennui is a common
response to this ‘inner lack’. We long, and in our longing we latch onto less
than desirable replacements and alternatives. In this way we perpetuate our own
form of slavery. The slavery that we exist within is our own fear, or ignorance
of, what lies beyond our imposed perimeters.

As a
sentient species we have become caged within a form of social hypnosis; and yet
the clues to our predicament surround us. They surround us in myths, tales,
stories, and images that have percolated through the centuries of our lives.
These signposts have been maintained and perpetuated by those who came to help
us: the initiates, the mystery schools, the guides.

Such
stories and myths are the seeds of our own adventure.

In order
to move forward it is time to embrace the call for stepping out onto our own Path of Adventure and awakening. It is
not that difficult – we do have assistance.

The first
major step is to recognise that we live within an intangible prison, with
invisible yet palpable bars that restrain us. So the first step is one of
making a choice. This choice
is to accept or not to accept our own predicament.

The next
choice comes when we decide to make changes. That moment of recognition, and
then accepting the need for change, is the first act of putting one’s feet upon
the Path. Everything begins with perception. To see is the mechanism for
creating. Therefore, how we see the world leads to how we create the world in
which we live. This is because perception creates thought; and our thoughts can
lead to creation of eventualities and situations through the manifestation of
our intentions. Our thoughts are energy, and energy attracts similar energy: like attracts like. We are in a position
then to attract the energies toward us that correlate and resonate with our own
thinking patterns, be this positive or negative.

So, to
begin: Be the Thought, Become the Change.
