Rising Above The Law Of Fixaton And Instinct by philoedu(m): 7:58am On Dec 27, 2017
The law of change has being embedded with the evolutionary effort of man through which human race has come to slowly lift up himself from the baseline of all other creatures. The baseline where the destiny of all living things has been fixed by life pattern and instinct, through which man has, always strive since the time immemorial. It is obvious that the entire history of mankind has come to be clearly marked as a pattern of perpetual change, moving onward and forward. It has become the creature’s device from the rational human to those of irrational animals or other creatures.

This is true in the eternal –authenticity and a varieties of life habit and thought of man that is continually reshaping into a system of relationship, moving into a more harmonious and better understanding of his environment. It is imperative, not lose sight of this pattern of change, in the life of man in his evolutionary journey. Because it is this device of change through which we adequately comprehended and put into use the habit and attitude to masters the very cause of fear of change which is but an opposition to the overall pattern of the universe. To conform to this overall plan of the universe of change or perish, is always the nature’s warning through the manifestation of some devastation that often come to be witnessed over the centuries past even till this current period- like the climate change.

This is true, that often times, the fear and failure and indeed, the very shock of disappointment in human, are design to shake loose of this fixed habit that man has tenaciously clings to. But no matter at what level man has struggle with his irrational paranoia, change has always be the very device through which we adopt, embrace and even benefit by better habit of growth. In this perspective, education becomes the bedrock of transformation that starts the mind of the individual to grow and develop from within through introspection.The mind which has become accustomed to the freedom and impartiality in habit of growth, will always preserve something of the same in the world of action and emotion. It will view his purposes and desire as part of the whole. And of cause, in the absence of insistence that result from seeing them as fragments in a world of which all the rest is unaffected by any one man’ deeds.

Education causes the mind to evolve and expand as he moves from the primary level to the highest level through the constant changes in the very thinking process and reflections. It is this thinking process and reflections; we often come to develop an act of rationalism and become acquainted with what may be called potential power to advance. Make no mistake, it is through this avenue, we are capable of not only striving to solve individual and collective problems, but also confronting and coming to terms with our realities in our evolutionary effort. it is self evidence, that this theory, no doubt, conform to nature’s plan as found through human experience of inventions, that forces man to use and develop his mind power. The same is true that this law of change is the very sources of education. Understanding this reality; you will no longer oppose this inalienable heritage from nature that has given a wide scope of understanding of us and the environment.

It is significant though, to know that the traits that our creator seems most emphatically frowns upon in man are –complacency, procrastination, fear, and self-imposed limitation, all of which, no doubt, carry with it, not without consequences. Although, complacency and habit has come to won a victory over change and progress overtime, in this part of the world and this is unfortunate. It must be emphasized, though, that the only and only one means of which the creator provide man to break away from other irrational animal to ascend into spiritual estate, to be master of his own fate, is this very law of change.

And our creator do this through the simple process of mental attitude and draws a pattern of living, in conformity with nature and make it into a reality. With this irrevocable and unchallenged power of what looks like an absolute control, has since been considered by the others to be the most and only important prerogative for man. And to come to deny him or be denied this very right, no doubt, amount to repression and misconception of the central purpose of what man’s life is all about.

The fixed habit and self-imposed limitation is but an attitude that openly shun knowledge and all what it represent in man’s evolutionary journey, in the acceptance of living by the truth of others long past. The same is also true, that it is but an act of resistance to the truth and the very foundation they have come to predicate the truth. The truth that tends to represent what looks like a vociferous attack to growth and advancement, to use Debbie’s phrase.

[b][/b]Of cause, which in many individual’s ’ own perspective, ‘no one dare question, but represent their fear of the unknown and the unseen that becomes the very reason why people often instigate others to follow suit because they are comfortable with the state of affair. According to Debbie, the same is true, that they don’t often know how to ‘be’ and could not let others ‘be’, hence, the very concept of change has become not only instigative but unpleasant, although, sound great, but remain one of the most difficult, if not impossible notion to grapple with in its very basic essence.

The reason is clear, because in particular, it challenges the very status –quo which not only they have come to found comfortable but seems to threaten their very existence. But in man’s evolutionary journey, it is but a mandate that he must strive to comply with this evolutionary element of his being. This is true, if he must come to term with the infinite truth, the state of ‘just being’ to use Debbie’s phrase again, which is but a metaphysical dimension through which one become aware that we are just a student of the universe who must be humble and obedient to learn from everything and everyone around us.

The term metaphysical dimension here is but a dimension that transcends rational discourse without lapsing into rationalism, the last precarious refuge of the human truth to which man’s own thought tends always to aspire. Because, out there are forces outside of our control and comprehension that are totally defying any reasonable explication in our daily struggle for survival. It is significant to know that nature tends to lead man through change after change by peaceful means as long as we co-operate with her, but she result to the opposite and react when we neglect or refuse to conform to the law of eternal change.

It is probably one of the reason that when things get foggy, the universe is not playing any form of trick, but only a reminder just to try to stare man in the right direction for the sake of making an adjustment or an appropriate change. The reason seems clear, because, she enforce the law of fixation of habit and instinct in every living thing lower than human, just in the same way as it enforces the law of change and rational habit in every living things higher than animals. And when this is brought into full efficiency through close attention and discipline, it will always make a difference, hence, the level and degree of rationality do also vary. Therefore, those who oppose change are but vampire-like -associate who are more likely to drain you of life–given energy than restore the innocent qualities of your heavenly soul.
