Life is a dynamic series of initiations, continually changing like the seasons
We manifest never ending opportunities for our transformation
Sometimes the initiation is in real time
Sometimes it will occur years later
Often we are in an adversarial relationship with life
We want to hang on, often desperately, to what we like, love, and feel safe with, even though life moves forward, the seasons change, and new initiations appear
And we want to avoid, stop or change what we don’t like, are afraid of, or judge to be wrong
Our judgements, resistance, denial, and conflict with our own initiations leads to greater suffering than if we engaged in the initiations
We often reject or ignore the initial manifestations and presentations of an initiatory opportunity
And see ourselves as victims when a more impactful opportunity is presented
However our deeper nature honours our transformation, and will continue to present initiatory opportunities, usually in a repeating pattern
The mindset and process of initiation (lost to western culture) opens the door to effective participation in life and true transformation.
