JANU: Position in life has interdimensional attributes. “What does this mean?” you ask. When one is said to take a position about anything, they tend to see themselves as representing a reality of significance to them. People can share positions for a moment, but even the sharing reveals differences. Perceiving yourself as taking a position can be a limitation in the midst of the flow of life and reality. Pondering the position with introspection allows for processing, comparisons, so-called fact finding and evidence. Taking a position on the validity of change, relativity, connectedness, timing, and relative existence allows for perceptions that can relate to others for a moment.
What this reveals is the wisdom in allowing, seeing the truth of everything for the moment. Understanding reality brings about a lessening of fear about perceptions of instability and change. What is there that is permanent, to hang on to, and why the need for things to stay the same? Change challenges flexibility, adaptability, new thinking, new understanding, and profound perception and understanding that never stands still. So where does that leave ‘taking a position’ in the common sense? The wisdom of change and the ongoingness of life allows for evolution, realization of potential, discovery, and new vistas. What is the relationship between ‘taking a position’ and adapting to change, which is the flow of life? Namaste.
