TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE
Change is an essential part of life. It is the dynamic that moves us through the present, away from the past and into the future. Its cycles of growth are natural, just like the distinct stages that the fetus passes through in the womb leading up to the crisis of birth. But change can also be stimulated by active, confident planning to move in a direct path towards some desirable future by revising our behavior, laws or social programs.
The will to improve can also be oriented towards something more spiritual with the intention of transforming and lifting inner qualities of mind or heart to better express the soul in daily living. Responding to a deeper sense of group purpose within an organization, adjustments may be initiated to enhance working relationships that enable a more useful and positive impact on world need. Transformational changes that flow from the spiritual level of the soul into the material world of time and space are causal in nature, deeply affecting outer behaviors and social norms, ultimately revitalizing and irradiating the substance of many lives.
The prayer, meditation and invocation that we practice within the Triangles network supports this sort of transformation, calling on the energies of soul and spirit to initiate and take the lead in lifting the qualities of being and relationship. This enlightenment is not just within ourselves and our individual triangles, but also brings light into the wider environment of social behaviors and economic relations. This is being amplified because the oneness of Humanity, as expressed in esoteric teachings, is becoming more widely recognized outwardly. It is this development that seems of critical importance against the backdrop of social upheaval and constant mutability in the everyday lives of citizens throughout the world.
Both an understanding of human nature and the evolutionary growth of consciousness form a required framework for transformational change. For it is only with such a framework that we can begin to observe the world of time and space from a stable, fixed point of spiritual identity, independent of time and space. It is only from the detached perspective of the soul, wise and loving, that we can recognize that we are living through a cycle in which the spirit of oneness is re-shaping consciousness. Out of all the current distress, humanity is in the process of reorientation and can experience a rebirth.
The art of transformation is a work in progress – altering the substance of our nature takes time, rhythm and quiet persistence, and all the more so when it is Humanity itself that is in the process of metamorphosis. By seeing our lives and our communities as places of transformation, we aid what is a natural birthing process.
