The answer comes in many parts.
For most pe...Nope. <br />The answer comes in many parts.<br />For <b>most</b> people, what I said in 2001 applies. You have until 2003 to change. Which is to make a decision about following a spiritual path. As long as you do so, you will always find answers. Those who didn't, MIGHT have to face up to a lot of things. But, there was a lot of change coming anyway, and the best way to deal with is was to follow a healing, or a spiritual, or a creative path. And even then, learning to change the way they look at things is probably the best way of all, for it would lead to peace.<br />But trying to change a person, or event, or situation, is often led by our own egos, which we need to let go of.<br />Sometimes, accepting things may be the best thing of all.<br />You also have to look at this in context of all the other posts here. I do give hope, but I don't want to give false hope.<br />When my aunt asked me if she would ever be happy and I said no, she wouldn't, it took her 15 years to understand what I was saying, and then, she found peace, and then, happiness as well when her daughters got married and she had grand children. And her daughter was frightened and didn't understand when I said she would move to the Middle East, but when it happened ten years later she did, and was happy.<br />But most people in the 70's preferred to wait for the promised New Age utopia without ever accepting responsibility for changing themselves. Until it was too late. Most people let the healer do all the work which is a recipe for the healer to get sick, and I had to teach the healers,that your responsibility is to do the best you can, but the ultimate resposibilty lies with them.<br />So in that context, you will see that yes, we do help people change themselves, and that yes, many people have had changes in their marriage, job, etc.<br />But not without educating them first. And the first lesson is, acceptance; that may be all there is. And then, you can build upon that.Man From Atlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564058987138711708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29767791.post-42332813104345201062010-07-01T19:07:05.624-04:002010-07-01T19:07:05.624-04:00So, are you saying that all one can hope for is to...So, are you saying that all one can hope for is to just change the way they look at things and take refuge? One cannot change anything outside of themselves? Humans have no impact on the things around them (manmade or natural)? If so, then what is there to take responsibility for?<br /><br />Are you just helping people to change the way they look at things?<br /><br />What about taking it further and helping people change themselves which can then affect/change the things in their environment that may not be working i.e. marriage, home, job?<br /><br />If that's the case then it is'nt just a "so what".Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14981929104030631141noreply@blogger.com
