Change VS Stability
The human need for a sense of security, versus the human need for chaos and change in order to restructure and recalibrate is a strange contradiction to observe...
Whether it is during our childhood, in relationships, in our home or financially… The sense of security and stability is imperative for a human being able to thrive. From experience, when we don’t feel stable in any of the above-mentioned environments and dynamics, we can lose our ability to gauge our personal worth. You see we as humans tend to base our sense of self from outside validation, like the more structured our reality is the more we feel we "know"... like it's all fixed, and it's true the more we believe in something the more it manifests and makes it real in and for our reality. The safer we feel, the safer we feel to explore.. but we can be "safe" in the wrong environments... sometimes it can come down to "better the devil we know, than the angel we don't"... eventually though these situations can end in a complete breakdown that can feel like chaos at first...
And then on the flip side, humans tend to grow and make the biggest strides within chaos! When our lives seem to be falling apart, when we experience trauma that shakes the very core of our perceived sense of security, it becomes most noticeable that life is really not that stable. That what we feel and think we know is not necessarily accurate. Which in turn makes us more adaptable, more conscious, and more resilient to counter for the fact that everything we hold true could be snatched away at any moment. It’s like chaos can hold the key, if approached in a healthy way to develop, to restructure and reconfigure our lives to be more constructive!
So maybe it's about instead of resisting the times we go through changes and chaotic "feeling" times, we learn to allow them to change us, we let them reshape our current existence and know ultimately that by embracing the opportunity to change we can utilise it to our benefit. We can use those times to recreate a better stable environment, because we've learnt a whole bunch of new knowledge that we can apply to create a new reality for ourselves...
I find it the strangest thing to observe when I’m watching my mind. When I am rewinding and reflecting on my life. We are taught with the true spiritual practice of detachment to lose our need for concepts, structures, and beliefs… That when we do this our need for self-conceptualisation disappears because we are not reliant on our external environment for validation to define ourselves. Instead, we come to the discovery that we are nothing, we are part of everything we are the beat of the heart of source energy, we are one with all things. That chaos holds the same value as stability... they are just two sides of the same coin... that the most important thing we can do is be the change we wish to see in the world... to do unto others as we would have done to ourselves x
