It is futile to resist change when it is inevitable.  It wastes energy and creates dramas which are harmful to self and potentially others.  The refusals’ of Laurent Gbagbo to relinquish the Presidency of Ivory Coast and Colonel Gaddafi to step down and accept the will of many Libyan people, exemplify  this.

Laurent Gbagbo’s refusal to accept what has been certified by the UN as the legitimate vote of the people, has been instrumental in causing death and destruction on a tragic scale.  Gbagbos’ conduct shows the absence, not the exercise of true power.   Likewise, Colonel Gaddafi’s will to wage war on those whom his position demands he protects, demonstrates will power not true power in action.

Mankind is living through times of great challenge and transition. During the first three months of this year, there has been a dramatic progression of events throughout the world. Earthquakes, a tsunami, the radiation leaks from the Fukushima plant in Japan, the removal of the Tunisian and Egyptian Presidents and demonstrations in Yemen, Syria and Bahrain from people seeking more democratic forms of government. The old ways of living and working are being eroded.

It is human nature to wish to cling to what is known and feels familiar but this invites discomfort and disempowerment.  Nothing can be taken for granted now.  Times are changing. Expectation and assumptions are in the process of becoming history.  Circumstances are stimulating people to evolve consciousness by learning to live unconditionally, to embrace uncertainty and be spontaneous.   Anyone who resists change will feel very uncomfortable for as long as their resistance remains.

Initiate change or challenge it when appropriate to do so, but do not resist change when it is inevitable. Accept it!  Like Colonel Gaddafi and Laurent Gbagbo, people are being invited to let go of control and begin living in the moment with total trust in their intuitive knowing. This is true power in action and once learned a very comfortable place to be!
