What have I changed my mind about?

I think I’ve changed my mind about a lot of things over the years.

As I gain more knowledge and experience, my mind sees things from a different perspective, so I change, then my mind does.

Change, something that’s in the air lately, (with Autumn, a new moon, the equinox and all), has not always been my favorite thing. All the discomfort, I don’t relish even the idea of it, but whatver we do as humans to hang onto all things comfortable, I’m well aware that change happens. How else would we evolve? (if only there WAS another way)

Today, I’m revisiting how I feel about change. I’ve been an observer in an immersion situation of sorts. It’s a little like being a bystander but at the same time getting pulled in often enough, that I feel my own energy affected. Here in summer town, out of towners are the ones enthralled with the changing leaves, most of the residents are less than excited for the weather that’s coming. Changing colors is a reminder no one wants to acknowledge. I get that, but I’m trying my best to stay an observer for now.

Which is the reminder I got from a book I started reading today. It’s a book I’ve read several times at different ages in my adult life and loved each time. Honestly, it’s as though it’s a new book every time.

‘Untethered’ by Michael Singer, is probably the best written explanation of how our minds and consciousness interact. He beautifully explains how our vibrational energy doesn’t come from food or sleep, but instead from not pinching it off. (which we do when we let our minds talk us into all different things. He tells a whole story about the exhaustion caused by one bad event, then how it can disappear when a really amazing thing happens. His stories are simple and relatable and truly help illustrate complex concepts.

Today I’ve decided to change my mind about change. I’m doing my best to sit back and observe my thoughts on the subject.
