'Renewal' Articles
Renewal is a physical law, psycho-physical. Grief then renewal. If no rain comes, then everything will catch fire. If no tears come, then all life energy will be consumed in time. The peace after the storm. Peace is renewal. Hope springs eternal.
Never seek renewal for another, ever. They will only see it as a threat, as they should. Seek renewal only for yourself. In that breathing room you gain, you may be shocked to discover they never needed renewal in the first place. Just you did.
Renewal is a returning to balance, an opening to flow.
“So as long as a person is capable of self-renewal, they are a living being.” Henri Frederic Amiel (Swiss writer known for his masterpiece Journal intime, 1821-1881)
“Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death.” R. D. Laing (British psychiatrist noted for his alternative approach to the treatment of schizophrenia. 1927-1989)
Storm Of Renewal
The topic is renewal. Sounds nice doesn’t it? Renewal? To make new? Sounds refreshing, no? People are terrified of it. It’s perhaps the state of being most avoided and treated like a plague. Nature/earth/God (what have you) has a process that is renewing. It’s also universal and people fear it. What renews a forest? Fire. Yes, and winter. The Norse believed that the world was formed in fire and ice. Humans? When we cut trees down and plant new ones? Yes, humans too. They are doing that exact same thing as the fire or winter. They don’t actually “create” the seed… Seek More
Weather The Storm
Can a physical storm hit and not create a sensory/cognitive impression? The electrical impulses zapping around our brain is like a storm. So where is the boundary between the physical storm and the cerebral ones? Perhaps that’s why a storm feels like a mini renewal? A lot of people report a storm “clears their head”. How do we weather psychic storms and come out renewed instead of lightning struck? What would happen if you stood out in a blizzard and spent the whole time yelling at it to stop being a blizzard? You would freeze to death. How many “mind… Seek More
Unstable Relationship
Let’s do a thought experiment, shall we? Anyone care to share one of their storms? Past or present, even future if you perceive that. Hmmm, not sure if this is one, but I’m trying to decide if a relationship is worth saving. It is, yes. Dealing with an unstable relationship. It has winds, “hot air”. It has fire, “hurt feelings”. It has floods, “tears”. How do we decide what to do if caught out in a physical storm? If the storm is just a light rain, do we run for shelter necessarily? First determine how much physical damage it may… Seek More
Cycle of Renewal
Why don’t you feel a physical storm is the end of the world? I know storms are usually pretty short lived, and if you wait a bit things will begin to clear. And if humans let psychic storms be, they would be short lived also. But in that case they resist, and instead make themselves short lived and the psychic storm rages on. Managed appropriately, a psychic storm will play out. But like a firestorm, if you feed it your energy it will not only consume all that, but will spark other people as well. How do we know renewal… Seek More
Your Center
There is a simple way to know when you are centered, balanced. It’s so simple as to be almost always overlooked. What is love? Love is like breath, you need it to live. Exactly, but let’s be more blunt. Love is the willingness to be in the presence of anything exactly as it is, but we get really delusional after that, really quickly. If you are willing to be in the presence of whatever or whoever exactly as it/they are right now, you are centered and will you be misinformed? I will take my relationship with my wife. If I… Seek More
Embracing Renewal
Renewal. It’s the spiritual season, and a benchmark for the world spirit itself. Renewal is a positive thing, no? Depends on what you are renewing? Exactly. If it isn’t personal it can seem wonderful, but personal renewal… We run from it like our life depends on it, do we not? Who embraces personal renewal in peace? This is why I can’t get anyone I know to meditate. It is also why you shouldn’t try. We need renewal or we can’t grow. This is true, but renewal requires letting go as we must do in cycles throughout our lives. Even if… Seek More
Secret Of Renewal
Friends, did you create yourself? If you did, why did you choose these things and then now feel you can’t accept the conditions? I create the mess of my self. I create the excellence of my self. I would say you do yes, but not the essence of yourself. I offer that you exist for the same reason the world exists. The same thing that makes a storm happen makes things happen in you. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a big storm and say a bout of mass hysteria? Perhaps stock market fluctuations that have no… Seek More
