"Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world."
~Ramana Maharshi
This quote expresses, in an ecstatic, Rumi-esque fashion, what I will be calling for the purposes of this posting the "Art of Change," or the "Science of Change." How change actually takes place metaphysically, or within any given reality.
The main reason I'm posting this is because I have been philosophizing about it so much lately that I need to express it somewhere. The concept has been buzzing around my psyche for some weeks, so I figure in my blog is just as good a place as any. Yeah? Also, the second reason is I'm just plain weary of being confronted with something I'd like to term "activist's syndrome." I will explain in full detail what this is, & why the understanding the art or science of change will quickly cure this very unfortunate syndrome.
Ok, so I'm going to set a few premises, do some blah blah, and then a beautiful profound conclusion will emergy whereby you'll spit whatver liquid your currently ingesting out your nose & mouth onto the computer screen, laughing yourself silly out of your rolling chair, onto the ground, hysterically foaming at the mouth and seisuring while you rocket your awareness into a state of transcendent bliss. I can't make any promises, but I'm pretty sure if you read on your experience will play out about like this.
The first premise is that everything we experience in the Universe, all matter, dense or subtle, is energy. Everything is energy, vibrating or pulsing at a particular frequency, a vibratory signature if you will. When we walk around a park or drive down a highway, we mostly experience what seems like fixed matter, mechanical in nature, will little apparent change taking place. But the truth of the matter is that everything we see on a day to day basis is an enormous flow of atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, & so on, all vibrating and pulsing in a grand dance of constant flux and change. Everything we see, including we humans, has a particular vibratory frequency or signature that differentiates it from everything else, yet the vibratory signature of all things greatly affect one another.
Here is a really fancy picture to wow you into accepting my first premise.
Ok, so that is the first premise. Everything is energy flowing , and everything has a vibratory frequency. When you wake up your vibratory frequency is at a certain level, and when you go to a heavy metal concert, the vibratory signature of that concert affects your signature. Everything we eat, say, think, see, etc., affects our signature. Some things have a greater effect than others. Since we are mostly water, it is important for us to drink the best water we can possibily drink, as it affects are unique signature more than we probably realize moment to moment.
The second premise that I want to establish is that of the law of magnetic attraction. This law has been popularized (more accurately sensationalized) in such popular works as "The Secret," which people now clumsily use to get more stuff. Well, I won't go there or pretend to assume what it's being used for. In fact, I'm more interested in relaying the proper processes for reaping the full benefits of "The Secret" than I am what ends people are seeking. So, the law of magnetic attraction basically states that like attracts like. The frequency at which anything vibrates attracts a similar frequency. So in the words of "the Secret," if you want cash just think of cash a lot. Which would probably work over time, but I feel is not even half the picture, since there is a whole lot more to our indivual vibratory frequency than just our consciously controlled thoughts focused in on "cash."
Other parts of our frequency include our subconscious garbage, our past experiences, agreements, beliefs, dogmas, ideologies, etc. If at some point in our life we believed that we were unable to make much money, yet we never de-programmed this belief, then it is still a part of our vibratory signature, and will thus prevent us from attracting the wealth we so often desire. For many, the subconscious mind becomes so overloaded with a certain idea or belief that it has to overflow into the unconscious mind, which affects our unconscious processes like blood flow, digestion, and cell maintenance. In this way, many people have certain tramatic memories stored in their cell memory! It can be much more tricky to alter the vibrations stored within our cells than lets say, digesting and pooping out a hamburger.
So, I suppose these two premises alone will be enough to express what I want to express. If everything is vibrating energy, and like attracts like, then the only way to attract what you want to attract is to change your own vibrational frequency. By the same logic, the only way to change what you want to change in the world is to change your own frequency. If you want to see more love in the world, going and starting a love campaign and picketing for more love will not be nearly as potent (I'm inclined to think love picketing would outright fail, but I'm not going to take a firm stance) as actually altering your own vibration to that of love. And yes, love is an actual vibratory frequency, not just an idea espoused by sappy romantics. I'm not going to supply lots of stats here, but if you do a bit of poking around (mind you, the internet has the collective knowledge of all human beings ever), you will see than indeed, everything, including love & anger, has a particular frequency. Love is high vibe. It makes us high, it makes us feel good. Some say it is our natural state. Anger, hate, greed, etc., are low vibe. They make us feel low, they make us not feel so good at all. Some beings, unfortunately, are used to this feeling, addicted, and thus feed on it. Others have just never experienced a higher frequency.
So, to be brief, "activist's syndrome" is a low-vibrational state of wanting to change the world yet coming from a place of anger, hate, greed, lust, envy, revenge, etc. When one tries to change anything from a low-vibrational state, one will merely attract more low-vibe states. When one wants to see peace in the world, the only way to attract this is to be peaceful oneself. Hanging out with peaceful people will greatly assist this process, as the peaceful vibrations (that is, calm, centered, steady, yet high) of others will affect one's own vibratory pulse or signature. Just simply being peaceful and acting in a peaceful manner going about one's own business will do more to create peace in the world than a million anti-chaos or pro-peace rallies. The anti/pro thing doesn't matter. Well, it matters a little, as it sets the intention for the gathering. But more imporant is the vibration of the individual participants and thus the collective frequency. If the frequency is high and peaceful, peace will be attracted. If low, welp... Here comes more low! Yay!
So to master the "Art of Change," one must simply select a process or set of processes that allows or facilitates the change of one's own vibrational frequency! If you want more wealth, simply thinking about money will do the trick, but better: Reprogram all beliefs about wealth. Surround oneself with wealthy people. Put up pictures every where of items associated with wealth, deities of wealth. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Make daily affirmations "I am wealthly, I am wealthy," over and over and over. Look! You have to change your frequency. This can take a lot of work. You are vibrating one way now, so in order to vibrate a whole new way, you gotta really go for it. If you want to have a peaceful vibe, seek out people providing ways of obtaining peace. Read books on meditation. Go on peaceful walks. Where peaceful colors. Listen to peaceful music. Just surround yourself with peace. Slowly but surely your vibration will begin to change. Over time, it will become much more steady & fixed. It will take a lot to move you from your peaceful vibration.
Figure out what you want to change about the world and yourself. Then, simply engage in an intense process of changing your own pulse. That's how its done.
Love.
