Life turning events!

Have you ever noticed that sometimes life takes a turn and we don’t even notice it? Oddly, somewhere down the line, we feel the changing winds and start noticing. 

That awareness that we are noticing the change is the beginning of life's turning event. Events happen but we need to internally feel what they mean. 

We get college admissions and move out for the first time, secure the first job, begin to pursue artistic interests and acquire new hobbies that we haven’t been able to pursue.

It’s not until we see that the internal state of mind begins to resonate with the external state of change that we start valuing the events and changes that are taking place.

We notice something is amiss first, then search for what has changed, spot the change that in the first place we began noticing, reason out whether change is good or bad, come to a state of equilibrium and internal convergence takes place.

At this point in time, we start accepting the change as useful, beneficial hence good.

However, the important part of such conclusions is the reasoning process and what gets added to it as an input. The neutrality of our thoughts and our biases are both at play at the same time. They are part of the conditioning we receive from our childhood.

It’s therefore vital that we are able to undo conditioning to see anything without a bias, become neutral, and arrive at a conclusion about the event. A good event and a bad event are a reflection of strong biases about what matches our conditioned minds. The event must be noticed, made sense of, and accepted for what they are. 

Feeling good about anything then is often just a reflection of the external state and internal state being in complete cohesion.

A sustained amount of cohesion in the way to notice tends to sharpen focus, brings happiness that there is little resistance, and drops the weight of posture we carry around with ourselves.

Creativity, productivity, trust, and cooperation begin where biases, judgments, and expectations are dealt with with the state of mind in equilibrium.

Cultivating noticing, observing, questioning, and then placing an unbiased picture of it with cohesion would qualify to be a phenomenal life-turning event.
