JANU: Handling controversy, then, bespeaks of initial inquiry into the fabric of conversation. Controversy is a request of inquiry for resolve, balance, peace, but also fosters analysis and understanding.
The current weather situation brings to mind in people, “Why is this happening? Are we being punished? What is wrong?” These perspectives are born from ignorance of inherent relationships among the elements of life. Natural changes in the evolution of nature are best understood as the eddies and currents of life caused by Life in motion. Each one’s individual life is described in this same way. Many upheavals and changes in the patterns of being are part of life in motion.
So the resolution to controversy is in the form of understanding change, both inwardly and outwardly. Now, navigating these flows of change in life is served best by understanding what’s being dealt with and adjusting one’s relationship with these.
Change is everywhere, our brother, and the forms it takes are without number. Awakening to the reality of this is what forms perceptions and understandings for decision-making and finding a path that adapts to change. So managing the life path is not blocking change, but understanding and adapting to it. Using your inner resources to anticipate and read the signs, so to speak, helps you make conscious changes, no longer just waiting for disturbance to force change. The motion in flow of life is not your enemy; it is your partner in life. Namaste.
