(the soul journey) Change from within ( part 4)

This is a personality-based question that really has no answer in terms of length of time. It takes as long as one lives. Change is a fundamental reality of life in time and space. Change is occurring constantly, but often we don't recognize it as it may be quite subtle. The personality is also always trying to keep things the same. Often changes are occurring but we are unconsciously living as if they were not.

When this happens, we tend to be out of step with what is happening in our life and in our psyche. As a result something does not work, things go awry and we are not content.


Sometimes the changes that are going on within us and around us are not the changes we want or like.
This is because we do not understand them. And this is why they exist. There are basically two causes for the changes we experience.


1. One cause is the necessity of subconscious, repressed content to surface into consciousness. These are frequently what we would consider to be negative things - something that exists within us that we are not aware of. It is something that we reject and do not own as ours, something for which we have not taken responsibility.
Because we are not aware of some aspect of ourselves and it wants to come into our consciousness, it is therefore causing many things to occur. We usually become aware of it by projecting it onto people or situations outside of ourselves so that we have the opportunity to see it.


It is a fact of psychological life that whatever is unconscious must in time become conscious. So there is always something from the psyche's shadows seeking the light of awareness. If we do not pay attention to it, it will then get our attention through negative expression of symptoms.

In the Soul Journey, we explore hidden content deliberately so that it no longer controls us, and so that new pathways for soul development and expression can be created.

2. The other cause of the changes we experience is the soul's activity within us. The soul is constantly emanating its presence in the endless forms of love, intelligence and power. It is the soul's power or pressure that triggers the subconscious content to surface, because if there is something blocking the soul's expression within the subconscious then a pathway for expression in conscious life must be cleared. The principle involved is that the soul can only express itself through the path of least resistance. Removing the subconscious blocks that are selfish, ignorant and fearful eliminates specific resistance to the soul's expression.

When there is no or little resistance within us, the soul will express itself based on our awareness of need within ourselves or around us. The changes we experience through soul expression at those times are greater integration between personality and soul. We inevitably then experience aspects of Beauty, Truth or Goodness. We become more the true Self that we are.
