Where to Now?

Which would you choose? Most people want to make a difference. Why? I suspect because they want to see tangiible results for their efforts. But do tangible results mean that something happened that will sustain over time. Or, are we seeing a "temporary fix?" Something that make US feel good about making the world better place by making someone else better.

The question I have is "Did we really make them better or did we really get a temporary fix because of our own self-importance? Do we really have the power to make others better in the firast place? The truth is the only person we have the power to make better is ourselves!

On the other hand, being a difference is whole other matter. It is clear that we enter into a symbotic relationship to experience mutual transformation. Transformation is the only experience that truly "makes a difference." Once there is an irresversible change in mind-set then one's entire outlook on life transforms. Whatever one needs to "do" to make his or his life work becomes an opportunity not a unsurmountable challenge.

The major challenge with being a difference is that You will have to change along with whatever or whoever it is you are trying to change. In other words you subject-object relationship will have to change to Oneness.

I remember when I used to conduct Minority Enhancement programs. I thought I was actually changing them. O found out they decided whether they chose to change or not. And all the science in the world I imparted made absolutely no difference until "they" decided that want to learn.

This is the breakthrough: Until I transformed my mind-set from improving them to "being the change" (Gandhi) I sought for them, then I made absolutely no difference!
