Transformation Thoughts

For Now:
The aim of transformation attempts an uncovering of the veil which clouds the awareness of one’s self. Implications follow which can start a process of inner change, which functionally affects the outward behaviour of an individual. Such a journey requires a shift in consciousness, an ontological move within the internal mechanisms.
Where does our personal volition fit into this process? it is possible that the will of an individual if appropriately harnessed can unlock the door through which a multitude of positive consequences occur. However, our wills often need directing and it is within this realm that key individuals present opportunity for either growth or regression. Such individuals cannot be guaranteed to present themselves randomly, but require the ’searching out’ by the one in need.
The question that often presents itself is whether such a process is based on ‘luck’ or ‘chance’ or ‘divine providence’. Transformation is an holistic journey, which incorporates the spiritual dimension of human ‘being’. It is now widely accepted than an overly psychological framework in the area of human transformation creates a vacuum that requires attention. It is, I believe, within such a vacuum that the place of God comes to the centre. This is not to say that God works in a way independent of the psychological and emotional aspects of a human being. Rather, God works both within and without such essences. God is an holistic healer and provides wholeness to the notion of transformation that a purely non-spiritual approach lacks.
