The Changing Face of Accelerating Change
By Zen Gardner
No man ever steps in the same river twice. For it is not the
same river, and it is not the same man. There is nothing permanent except
change ~ Greek philosopher Heraclitus
It seems things change more than we think – way more, and in
more ways. Even when we’re aware of the underlying reality of constant change,
we reference new changes by our memory and perception of old changes. And those
were based on previous reference points.
We seem to be judging change by points of previous
attachment, even though they continually shift. That cannot be very accurate.
Nor fully conscious.
While assessing a particular situation, as my mind wandered
backward to find context, I was surprised to realize how strongly and easily I
was able to reference my previous “points of view”. It jolted me knowing I’m
not that person any more yet it was so very available in my consciousness. But
that’s how the mind is wired. A lot of information is stored there awaiting
activation depending on our perspective and awareness. Hence we often have to
wade through a mire of influences whether we want to or not.
The Subtle Reflex
Everything’s shifting. And in shifting ways, in a shifting
perception of change. I realized what I was comparing to was a sort of
emotional imprint. I was looking back to different periods of time in my life
in comparison to what I’m going through now, consciously conjuring up old
impressions in contrast with a current experience.
I found myself doing this for whatever reason.
Understanding, nostalgia, encouragement, comparison. There’s so much that flows
through our minds as we seek meaning and definition.
But that really struck me. I realized how I frequently use
old imprints to gauge comparative changes. Not necessarily bad in itself as
there’s no doubt something to learn from experience, but I shouldn’t compare to
times in my life when I was relatively unconscious. There is virtually no basis
in comparative reality there once I’ve woken up to true conscious awareness.
On top of that, these current vibrational changes are
completely new, as am I. Recalling old imprints can subtly reinforce my attachment to them. Looking in relation to
an old perceived set point will only let me see so far. It’s almost beyond comparing
apples to oranges when it comes to perception shifts. They just don’t compare.
Another analogy might be a rock climber who won’t fully let
go of his gear attached to the lower rungs he made in his ascent. He’ll only
get so far. As you go higher your perspective shifts phenomenally, but he won’t
get to those really inspiring views if he won’t let go of those lower footholds
that got him started.
These memory reference points are psychically embedded in
emotions and memory clusters. It’s very similar to the crystalline knots a
massage therapist works out of muscle tissue that then have to be flushed from
the system.
Memory can be an anchor as well as a guide.
Letting Go in a Shifting Reality
It’s all good if we let this shifting reality pass and we
have solid anchors in conscious awareness. However a lot of people are fighting
these changes, consciously and subconsciously. We’ve known these major shifts
in not just our perception but the dystopian world around us would be hitting,
but as we get further into it our noses tend to get fixated on the dark details
and less on maintaining our conscious awareness.
That’s when blinding reactive mechanisms start to kick in.
It’s also known as confusion. When life seems to be in
disarray and we’re put on the defensive, which is a major tactic for human
control, left brained fear and survival modes start to take control. That’s why
it’s important to remember what we knew in the light when the times of darkness
fall. It’s also why we should act in the light while we can still see clearly.
To delay is as good as to deny.
What conscious behavior inevitably calls for is a lifestyle
shift. That’s what grabs stubborn souls by the throat. If someone doesn’t budge
and they keep refusing to acknowledge the evident Truths around them and yield
to those Truths by consciously making the needed changes in their lives, it can
be pretty tough. And it will only get tougher. These changes include
continually disengaging from the system, letting go of unfruitful and hindering
relationships, adopting a healthier lifestyle both physically and mentally, and
preparing spiritually and practically for the increasing economic and social
storms coming our way.

Defying the Control System
There’s really no reason not to disengage from the matrix.
Just begin in stages. Those imaginary handcuffs of the mind are weaker than
cooked spaghetti. It’s the habitual fear programming that keeps people from
doing the obvious. That’s the design, to paralyze humanity.
The awakening cannot be thwarted, but individuals can be
seriously hindered, mostly by living in virtual denial. We can’t say we
understand what’s going on and not respond to the call to help change things,
beginning with ourselves.
More often than not ours is to simply defy the system programming….
disobey, disconnect and disengage from anything they throw at us.
The rest will follow.
And don’t worry, change will continue to happen no matter
what. Remember, you are the conscious observer, not the reactive self.
Stay free.
Much love, Zen
