I’ve been thinking a lot about change lately. 1 because I just started this HOS program and 2 because Obama showed us “yes we can” and all other indicators, global warming, financial shakeup, rising health/addiction problems seem to say “Please, We Need To!!”
And it seems that I continually run up with this idea that people are fundamentally lazy and don’t change unless there’s a figurative or literral gun pointed at their head. From this standpoint, we seem to only want to remove ourselves from what is painful, fearful, and seek an alleviation to the problem. But with that mindset, we’re not going to get very far. We’ll only change enough to avoid the thing we’re afraid of.
On the other hand, what I see happening with the Human Operating System and in various ways throughout my life and larger global history is people changing because they want to, because they are excited to, because in all honesty, positive change in exciting!
Devon talks about a default state, a place of activation where we are at our best. In the somatic field that I come from, we talk about potency and authenticity. This place of potency or authenticity is a place of excitement, enthusiasm, potimal health and has an inherant drive towards success. The whole idea of evolution in a sense seems to point to this drive, the natural unnending forward movement of the universe, the species, and us as individuals. Because, just as you don’t need to tell a tree to lean towards the sun, you don’t have to teach a human how to suceed, all you need to do is teach them how to be authentic, potent, activate their default… The success is inevitable.
It’s really thrilling to me that there are others out there who understand this, are teaching and living this. Are leaping, knowing that the net will appear because it has to, it is in our DNA.
