Be the Change you Want to See in the Future, not the Obstacle that Belongs in the Past. Free Zoom Webinar, Monday 29 July, 7.00 – 8.30pm.

Most people know that Gandhi said:

“Be the change that you want to see in the world.”

This is a brilliant location from which to approach the need for change in situations, relationships of all kinds, world events and more.

For it shifts the focus of consciousness and responsibility for action back on to oneself.

In the West in particular, we are mostly conditioned into thinking that when things go wrong, or problems or conflict arises that we need to change the thing that is wrong that we perceive to be outside of ourselves.

But when we do this, we tend to focus on the problem or the obstacle and try and solve or remove it or blame the other person and try and change them.

And the more we try and fix or remove the problem the more it resists.

In accordance with the law – what you resist persists!

If, on the other hand, we focus on the internal changes needed to solve the problem or remove the obstacle in ourselves first, then we can change its energy or power and new solutions, opportunities and possibilities can present themselves.

Better to try and agree what kind of shared future we might want to have than have conflict about who is to blame for the differences of the past.

No number of wrongs ever add up to a right.

No revenge or injury inflicted ever healed a wound.

No bomb ever built a bridge.

No weapons ever built a peace garden.

You may or may not be able to change the world.

But you can change the world in you.

And if you can change the world in you then you have changed the world where it matters first and most powerfully.

And by changing ourselves we change our path and what governs us into what sets us and each other free.

For real change is never imposed or demanded, it is always invited.

And if we invite each other to explore the future together then by magic we can change the old past into a new and very different future.

“Let me know what you think and together we will find the way.”

In the film Field of Dreams the catch line in it is:

If we build it, it will come.

If we build the future we want together, then it will surely come.

Therefore why not come on the Webinar and help build it into being something that will make all our lives better for having been on it?

All are welcome and hopefully it will be an interesting and revealing experience together with some light bulb moments along the way.
