A human is not a “being” . A human is always “becoming”.
A human is not a “being” . A human is always “becoming”.
This physical body, mental plane, does not want to “be” the same everyday every minute. It changes every moment. You may feel pretty today but tomorrow you are crying to yourself because you feel ugly. You were very confident yesterday but today you don’t want to face the world. What the mind identifies as “self” isn’t an established state nor will it be. Not today, not tomorrow, not in 5 years nor in 50.
But as humans, we chase this wild idea of being perfect one day. As if one day we will be completely perfect and life will continue to be perfect after that. Every day we do crazy things to ourselves in the name of being perfect one day. But if we look close, there is no “being”. It is only “becoming'' and you will become someone you are not every day, every second, every hour, and every year until you die.
If your idea of being perfect is buying the latest vehicle one day, the next day a new model arrives. If your idea is to go to the gym to have that dream body, you cannot expect to stop working out when you get that body you wanted. Two weeks into it the body will start to change again. So you gotta keep doing it, keep becoming.
Sometimes we are afraid of letting go of who we are today because we don't have a clear idea of who we will become tomorrow. Change comes unannounced and as humans we often do not like what we don’t understand. So we refuse to let go of our older selves and hang on to old beliefs and ideas and nurturing simply because what’s known is better than what’s not known.
But what if everyday we come home from the daily survival run, and take a few minutes to access the entire day and try to let go of the parts of the self that feels like they are not up to date anymore?
Just like when we get updates on our smartphones, life can be upgraded consciously everyday.
The survival game is hard enough but if we are consciously willing to access our own self like we do with our daily gadgets, like throwing the outdated gadgets and buying the new machines, selling the corolla and buying the mercedes, updating the ios every 3 months, what if we update our own self on a daily basis? Has it ever occurred to you that we update every gadget, machine and anything around ourselves to a better working, faster working or to the newest color as soon as you get a chance, but you refuse to upgrade and ignore the main gadget that is responsible for creating all of these extra gadgets? That is the human gadget.
Has it ever occurred to you that this human mind and body, the main machine that made all these extra machines a possibility, has the highest potential to become the highest intelligence, the coolest machine, that humanity has ever made? Have you ever thought that this human body can be the source to bring devine to your own existence?
The idea of creating a portable telephone was not sent to us through another galaxy. It was there inside a human brain once upon a time and that one human created something out of nothing. One human wanted to travel faster so he decided to explore his own brain and found out that wheels could help us carry ourselves and created vehicles.
But do you know what else these humans discovered unconsciously? That whatever the instruction you give your brain, it can signal the entire body to do the physical task. Physical creation, of the brains assemble manual that comes with an idea.
So what is it that we don’t understand about becoming? Why should we refuse to let go of our older selves and beliefs. The moment any of us understand that we do not fit in the same clothes we wore yesterday, we need to make sure to toss them out and make some new clothes to fit into the size you became. The moment you realize that the ways you used to live by or currently living by, is not helping you anymore, that is the time you need to let go of the self you were and get ready to accept the self you are becoming.
Whatever your brain understands that needs changing, the body can follow. But the consent to change, adopt, needs to come consciously. Because if you do not embrace the inevitable change that happens with every interaction, every phase, every year, every age limit you pass, it is the body and the mind that will suffer as it really is constantly “becoming” and we have no power whatsoever to change the change.
The only way to change without giving yourself a hard time is to accept, adopt, and consciously allow the self to “become” the life you think you need, to survive the years left on this plane. Just like you wish to purchase that newest smartphone without fearing to lose the one you held so dear to you for the last few years, allow your human self a chance to adapt and change to the next level depending on the life situation you are in at the moment. Holding on to an older version is only limiting yourself to your maximum potential. You will only understand that when you hold that newest model in your hand.
