The statue on top of a church in Porto, Portugal. When I saw this picture it made me chuckle to myself, when I look at it this person looks like is contemplating the sky and talking to his beast as if him and the beast were buddies. Perhaps your perception of the stone carving is different, for me this was a funny statue.
The title that popped into my head “I can transform you if you only let me”, it may be befitting in my amused mine, I imagined how the beast was being told by it’s master that he can transform it into something else.
To some degree this promise is true for us humans in general. This month, I had a few potential clients rejecting the offer of support. The reason for the rejection was “they know everything, “is not relevant”, “it is not my fault I do not need help”,” I can’t real with my emotions therefore I reject you”. It is then befitting to use the title “I can transform you if you only let me”. Nothing can happen without our explicit consent in this world. Nothing can transform about our lives unless we are willing and able to engage in that transformation. Nothing can be done to us without us agreeing in part to it either in this life time or in prior to birth or even in a different life time (if you believe in such thing). I am sure people will jump on my case with examples where consent was not given when others took advantage, but then again silence in a way is consent, absence of words can equate to consent.
This idea of people not allowing others to give them a helping hand, a change of direction in of course born out of other emotions that come up for us, and in part we have to be ready to receive the help, the guidance, the re-direction. If we take no responsibility for what is happening with us or around us we are indeed drifters in the sea of the unknown and therefore we can not make informed decisions because we are passengers and we are not agents of our own lives. In order to be a presence in our own lives, and be agents for change we need to be present in our life, we need to find ways to contribute to our own development and we somehow need to find a way to open our eyes to see. When I was talking to a friend today they said that they are afraid or lack the courage to delve into their own shadows so instead they hide and blame, and feel anxious and feel discouraged, not loved, not worthy. Their own fear of transformation is the very basis to the blocker of all help. The clients who rejected the support were afraid to be vulnerable, to allow help in, for if we no longer have that which made us miserable then who are we?
Have you ever rejected help for fear of loosing your “known identity”?
Have you ever rejected transformative work because that would have meant you had to give up a way of life that worked for you?
Have you ever self-sabotaged because that meant you had to re-invent yourself?
Were you ready to be another you?
Were you able to contemplate that if you made that transformation you may actually be on a more aligned path with who we are?
Just like you mobile an upgrade needs to be installed in our system also, just like how you set the privacy settings on your phone, in a similar way you need to work on your privacy settings. Just like on your phone updates can be installed within you either with your permission or on autopilot. Just like with the phone, sometimes our own operating system needs to get the upgrade (the beliefs, the values, the opinions we hold sacred) need to be upgraded. Just like your phone sometimes the upgrades are small, and imperceptible, and sometimes the upgrades are so transformative that we are no longer recognised as the same person. And just like a phone that no longer accepts upgrades because is so out dated and they stop accepting new apps, or start glitching, in the same way as human beings if we hold the same views, thoughts, beliefs and our system has not been updated for a very long time, we stop installing new apps (new viewpoints), we start glitching (we come into conflict with the world.).
So yes “ I can transform you if you only let me”.
