Changing Habits

Changing ourselves involves learning how to develop those states, behaviors, and dispositions that are healthy, while allowing the unhealthy ones to atrophy from neglect.    - Andrew Olendzki, "Turning the Corner"

 

While I think the quote clearly states how one can change a pattern or a habit, perhaps a bit more explanation is required.  

If  a person is a smoker and smokes twenty cigarettes a day, the only way that they will change to not smoking is to slowly drop smoking a cigarette a day until there are no cigarettes to smoke.  The habit of smoking is erased by neglecting to smoke the maximum number of cigarettes per day.

The urge may still be there and will disappear if the now non-smoker ignores it.

Many Paths Of Truth

The picture above is titled “The Many Paths Of Truth”.  What I find interesting is that I am not sure who created it.  So, is it really the truth?

What does truth mean?  Is it the physics of the natural world-type truth?  Is it what is right for one person?  It might be a lie for another person such as who is the right and truth in the two sides in a war or conflict.  Or, is it the truth of religion?  If religion is all myth, then the truth is nothing?  Is it the truth of our hearts? Since our hearts are mortal, then we have limited truth.

It is all very fascinating.  What is the path of truth for you?

Transformation Washes Through Us

This picture reminds us that there are grand changes in the Earth’s energy from the recent full moon on February 1 2026.

Feel the changes sweep through your body.  As it changes, notice that you are very tired and grumpy.  Then, you are full of energy and excitement.  Then you are sad or even depressed.  Then you are filled with love and joy.  Forgiveness is easy.  

Do these symptoms sound schizophrenic to you?  They are very close to the symptoms of that dis-ease.  Currently, you are in a state of dis-ease so it is not any wonder that the symptoms are very similar.  Through this change, we throw out all that we have valued because it no longer carries weight.  Notice that all of the crimes against THE PEOPLE – YOU AND I AND ALL OF US – are being uncovered and brought to the forefront, or, as one of my friends says, “into the light”.

We are not willing to be told what to do, think, say, believe, value, or obey.  We are free minded with free will.  We can choose differently than we have in the past.

Go forth and change and cause change to happen!

Blessings,

Judy
