Being Calm in Adversity
|
04 March 2011
Adversity is opportunity in disguise, although it may not appear so when dramatic and / or tragic events are taking place. Challenges, resistance and apparent misfortune always hold within them inherent gifts for greater self-understanding and empowerment. When you fully accept this you are aligned with the true power of your Being, competent to maintain your balance, equanimity and calm whatever situation confronts you.
The times of victimhood are fast disappearing. Events in the Middle East and North Africa bear witness to this, as people begin to claim their power. The old paternalistic way of governing or having power and control over others is crumbling. A deeper perfection is being worked out. We are witnessing the natural life, death rebirth cycle. The old is dying away, the new has yet to be born.Fearing adversity, change or the unknown is merely a projection of the ego mind which is always seeking to control events and know outcomes. The ego mind is never calm. Your natural state of Being is. You can access Being any time you wish by stilling your mind. Like truth, Being is experienced not taught. You cannot think truth. There are many ways that the mind can be stilled meditation, silence, being in nature, living in the moment or by totally accepting what is. Releasing any need for a situation or person to be other than as they are in the moment will return you to calm.
Times are changing. Meet upheaval, natural disasters and challenge calmly and without fear. In truth, there is nothing to fear. Currently, humankind is being presented with opportunities to evolve consciousness beyond the limitations of the fear centred ego mind, to claim and know the true power of Just Being.
