    Dear NKKA and Tami,

    >> I am not very sure what that last sentence means .If i understand
    what you are saying correctly, fear of change prevents the practitioner
    from accepting the potential "gain" from the practice ? Is that waht
    you intended to say? <<

    Yes.

    Change is a Universal Force. It is omnipresent and omnipotent. *Every*
    *thing* changes. All *forms* are temporary, only the essence of form is
    eternal, thus *forms* are in a *constant* state of flux.

    The Universal Force of Change is positive -- unless it is opposed, in
    which case, it is *experienced* as negative. But even if it is
    *experienced* as negative, it is ultimately positive.

    Most human culture instills within us the desire for everything to stay
    the same, or at least close to the same. We equate the familiarity of
    sameness with *safety* and *comfort*. We know our way around sameness
    and we feel powerful because of it.

    Change threatens the safety of sameness and makes us feel less powerful,
    so we instinctively shy away from it, deny it, ignore it and in every
    way try to retain our safe sameness. By doing so, we set ourselves up
    to *experience* the positive Universal Force of Change as a negative,
    threatening thing that disrupts our safe sameness. When we fight
    against change, we *experience* it as a negative force; and since it is
    omnipotent and we are no match against it, we feel less and less
    powerful.

    We come to *fear* change. And this prohibits us from *experiencing* the
    *positive* Universal Force of Change.

    The *positive* Force of Change, when unleashed, is an amazingly
    transformative and freeing gift from a Divine Providence! We unleash
    this positive Force in our lives by *embracing* change. Only then do we
    recognize/inherit our true power to consciously transform ourselves.
    Only then can we *participate* in that omnipotence and *guide* our
    changes.

    But when we fight against Change and deny it its due, we become
    powerless and ever afraid.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
