The Demand of the Law of Change. by philoedu(m): 1:58pm On Oct 07, 2022
The law of change has been embedded with the evolutionary effort of man through which the human race has come to slowly lift itself up from the baseline of all other creatures. The baseline where the destiny of all living things has been fixed by life patterns and instinct, through which man has, always strive since 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 irrational animals or other creatures.

This is true in the eternal –authenticity and a variety of life habit and thought of a 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 to 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 master the very cause of fear of change which is but opposition to the overall pattern of the universe. To conform to this overall plan of the universe of change or perish, is always nature’s warning through the manifestation of some devastation that often comes to be witnessed over the centuries past even till this current period- like climate change or homegrown escalations of troubles.

This is true to the extent that oftentimes, the fear and failure and indeed, the very shock of disappointment in humans, are designed to shake loose of this fixed habit that man has tenaciously clung to. But no matter at what level man has struggled with his irrational paranoia, and the change that has always been the very device through which we adopt, embrace, and even benefit from the better habit of growth. In this perspective, education becomes the very 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 its 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 such insistence that results from seeing them as just a fragments in a world in which all the rest is unaffected by any one man's deeds.

Education causes the mind to evolve and expand as it moves from the primary level to the highest level through constant changes in the very thinking process and reflections. It is through this thinking process and reflection; 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-evident, that this theory, no doubt, conforms to nature’s plan as found through the human experience of inventions, which forces man to use and develop his mind power. The same is true that this law of change is the very source of education. Understanding this reality; you will no longer oppose this inalienable heritage from nature that has given us a wide scope of understanding of ourselves and the environment.

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

And our creator does this through the simple process of mental attitude and draws a pattern of living, in conformity with nature, and makes it into a reality. This irrevocable and unchallenged power of what looks like absolute control has since been considered by 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 are but an attitude that openly shuns knowledge and all that it represents in man’s evolutionary journey, in the very 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 on growth and advancement, to use Debbie’s phrase.

Of cause, which in many individuals’ own perspective, ‘no one dares to question, which but represents their fear of the unknown and the unseen that becomes the very reason why they often instigate others to follow suit because they are always comfortable with the state of affairs. 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 to hear, although, it sounds 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 of which they have come to find comfortable but also 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 terms with the infinite truth, the state of ‘just being,’ to use Debbie’s phrase again, which is but a metaphysical dimension through which one becomes 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 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 cooperate with her, but she results to the opposite and reacts , only when we neglect and abuse and indeed refuse to conform to the law of eternal change.

It is probably one of the reasons 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 necessary or appropriate to make change. The reason seems clear, and obvious, because, she enforces the law of fixation of habit and instinct in every living thing lower than humans, just in the same way as it enforces the law of change and rational habit in every living thing 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 to say the least, vampire-like -associates who are more likely to drain you of life–given energy and potentiality than restore the innocent qualities of your heavenly soul.
