Embracing Change: The Journey from Ter Incognita to Tranquil Landscapes

Climbing a mountain serves as a powerful metaphor for life's journey, illustrating the transformative process of moving through different terrains—both literally and metaphorically. As we ascend, the landscape around us shifts, from barren deserts to lush forests, mirroring the changes we undergo within ourselves. This journey is not just about reaching higher elevations but about embracing the unknown (ter incognita) and making it our own. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, we can learn the importance of flowing with change, creating healing spaces, and finding ease in our endeavors.

Embracing the Unknown

Years ago, during a mountain climb, it became evident how the environment transforms with elevation. What starts as a desert evolves into a woodland climate, demonstrating nature's adaptability. This physical transformation is akin to the personal journey of stepping into unknown territories in our lives. As we navigate through the day-to-day, we are essentially explorers in newfound lands, making the unknown familiar and creating a home within it.

The Journey of Change Inside and Out

The shift in terrain is not just an external experience but also reflects internal transformations. For instance, moving out of a professional practice brought about a fear of losing connections and attachments. However, this transition was an opportunity to venture into new spaces, both physically and emotionally. Despite encountering what seemed like the perfect property to establish a healing center, it was the internal journey that revealed the true path. The analogy of tossing a stone into water to see its ripple effect illustrates the importance of recognizing when something flows effortlessly and when it requires forced effort.

The Vision of Creating Healing Spaces

The dream of creating healing and meditation centers worldwide is a vision that requires not just financial investment but also personal energy and resources. Sometimes, what seems like an ideal opportunity on the surface might demand more than we are capable of giving, especially when other life commitments, such as family, are at stake. Learning to recognize when to step back and create space for what truly matters is crucial.

Flow vs. Force

In any endeavor, whether it's establishing a new business or navigating personal growth, the essence of flow versus force becomes evident. Joseph Campbell's notion that if it's your path, doors will open effortlessly, highlights the importance of allowing things to unfold naturally. When actions are forced, they often lead to stress and detachment from the true self and purpose. Conversely, operating from a place of flow energizes and inspires, making the journey enjoyable and fulfilling.

The Role of Consciousness in Problem-Solving

Albert Einstein famously stated that problems cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness that created them. This principle applies to our personal journey of growth and exploration. If we are to truly evolve, we must elevate our consciousness and approach challenges from a new perspective. Letting go of preconceived notions and embracing space for new possibilities allows for genuine transformation and the creation of something entirely new.

The Power of Intuition

As we continue our ascent, paying attention to our surroundings and to the changes within us becomes vital. Developing intuition helps us discern between opportunities that will lead to growth and those that will hinder it. Listening to our inner yes and no signals provides clarity and direction, enabling us to navigate life's path with confidence.

Conclusion

Life's journey, much like climbing a mountain, is about embracing change, both externally and internally. As we ascend, we encounter different terrains and challenges, but it's through these experiences that we grow and transform. By remaining open to the unknown, flowing with rather than forcing change, and listening to our intuition, we can create spaces of healing and ease in our lives. This journey is not just a solitary endeavor but a collective exploration where we all play a part in creating a world filled with brightness, life, and tranquility.
