It’s not about the
SIZE of the SEED…: DAY 4
The Desteni of Living
– Utmost Potential (Part 4)
The Principle of
Realising and Living my Utmost Potential
In this post and posts to come, I am discussing what
‘Realising and Living my Utmost Potential’ practically means – through showing
how I have (and still do) live and realise this Principle.
STEP 1: Recognizing my
own Potential (Self Forgiveness)
Obviously this MOMENT
where you step back, access your potential/being/awareness, assess the thoughts and emotions and then
CHANGE – the CHANGE PROCESS, is a process in itself as well…and this I will
continue with in the next post, together with a practical example of moments
during the early years of my process that were significant when I started
accessing my potential, my me and started growing as the seed of potential, of
awareness…eventually into and as LIFE.
One afternoon, a friend of mine’s 4-year-old asked me to
watch a movie with him – The Lorax. As I was watching the movie I could
immediately relate two specific dimensions walked within the movie to what
we’re walking here in relation to the seed of self-potential; when you become /
realise yourself as the seed of potential when you show yourself how you can
change. In this post, I will share these two dimensions and how they relate to
the seed of self-potential and do suggest watching the movie.
"It's not about
what it is. It's about what it can become."
In the movie, there is an interaction between two characters
– where the one is holding a seed and the other states “It’s not about what it
is. It’s about what it can become”. Essentially meaning that it’s not the SIZE
of the seed that is of significance…but what that SEED can BECOME…
Having a look at the SEED of self-POTENTIAL we’re in the
process of walking here – I find this to be quite relevant, because when you
start walking your process you have to walk it MOMENT by MOMENT. You cannot
KNOW who (in your beingness/presence) and how (in your thought, word and deed)
you’ll become – because this is not a process that is walked with knowledge
only, there is a direct-relationship between knowledge and APPLICATION.
Meaning: your self-change process starts small, like a small seed – the MOMENTS
where you realise that you can stop participation in thoughts/reactions and behaviour
patterns and then actually change within yourself and behaviour in that
MOMENT…this is where YOU as the SEED start growing.
So, for your self-potential to become REAL, to be LIVED –
there has to be a direct-relationship between knowledge and application/living.
The knowledge in this process being writing, self forgiveness
(which is the practical process to walk,
facilitating change from consciousness to awareness) and then the application/living
of what you realised about yourself in how you can change that you could see
while walking writing and self forgiveness. So, the process, the platform of
ACCESSING the SEED and then GROWING as the seed is HERE – all that you need to
do is walk / apply it for yourself…
What many will be able to relate to when it comes to this
process is: especially in the beginning – where you really only start with the
very, very, very small seed – you cannot immediately see / experience yourself
changing, because the change happens gradually as you move yourself and change
yourself in thought, word and deed. This is the part where the above statement "It's
not about what it is. It's about what it can become" is of significance –
because the process of change takes time and patience, and in space and time,
as you walk change moment by moment – every moment you apply/live the change in
real-time: you as the seed start growing, almost unnoticeable until your being/awareness
starts breaking through the mind/consciousness, embodies itself into and as the
physical and you can noticeably start seeing/experiencing your self-change
based on how you change in your living and general experience.
I, myself – when I started walking this process, there were
moments where I wondered whether I was changing…but it often showed in the most
unexpected of ways in the most unpredictable of moments, where my self-change
NATURALLY came through based on the dedication and discipline to the SMALL
MOMENTS I applied/lived self forgiveness and changed myself in thought, word
and deed.
In the next post I will continue with the second dimension
that opened up while watching The Lorax movie and then bring all the knowledge
and information I shared thus far into practical living examples for you to be
able to more practically comprehend how and why this process of change takes
time, patience and discipline. Because, if you look at a seed – a seed starts
GROWING from WITHIN…it doesn’t ‘look to the future’ in terms of ‘thinking
about’ what it’s going to become, nor does it ‘look to the future’ and think
about the process it has to walk to reach its utmost
potential. This is what we often do within our Minds…we project to the
future, look at the process ahead…instead of realising that self-growth
of self-potential and the becoming/living of our utmost potential is a process
walked from within, moment to moment into and as the without.
