The path to transfiguration - preparing for motion

Variety and Vicissitude - even exile - may be the apprenticeship and bondage needed before the freedom of oneness can be reached.
- Dante Alighieri 'Paradiso' (1265-1321)

There is a constant fight to sustain motion. This struggle for upward mobility has its root in our natural evolution. The success of our transition is hinged on our ability to manage this struggle. Some species have gone into extinction because they couldn’t handle this move. Some others have biologically become more advance because they chose to embrace the fight. Larmack spoke of this in his theory of use and disuse.
While some manage this transition out of an all evident necessity, a few wise men handle the transition with a proactive courage.

Two things stand out is this journey 'Sight and Strength'
A scripture says '…the young men shall see vision', another says '…the glory of the youth is his strength'.

My emphasis will be less on vision and more on strength. This is however not an indication of priority as both are necessary partners. My believe is that we only require calm passiveness to see, but the strength to sustain motion towards the reality of our vision is where we often miss it.

I have come to realize that our generation suffers less from the lack of vision than it does from the lack of strength. The story of the biblical Samson gives credence to it. A lack of strength to accomplish vision will ultimately lead to the death of the vision. The very first evidence of a lack of strength is the diminishing of our vision. For those who are not familiar with the story of our brother Samson, the Philistines' first action after Samson lost strength was to get rid of his vision (eyes). Even when the strength was restored, the lack of vision made him wish to die with mediocres. If we will be sincere to ourselves, a cursory look at our very lives may show a lowering of our vision and dreams . What were your dreams 5 yrs ago, what are they now!. If our mind truthfully attests to a diminishing of our dreams, it is because of the perceived lack of strength to see its manifestation. In subsequent postings, we will see the technology of strength which I sum up in the word - detachment!

First things first, stillness is the perfect substitute to undirected motion. Consequently, there is a constant need to remain as still as we move. It is more important to possess clarity in motion than it is to move with the hope for sight.

The path to transfiguration requires great strength, one of the very first things that we must learn is the grace to wait! This is when our mind transition can become complete enough to find external expression. Your seemingly silent chapters are often the most influential chapters where reformation takes place. This is where energy is created and conserved, reality defined and oneness reached. Clarity of sight is the end product of this process. All who wait have their strength renewed. This grants them access to not just sustained motion, but sustained speedy motion.
