Transformation Made Easy?

I was asked today for advice or a book on how to help a person to work through transformation.

The first interesting thing in the question was the person didn’t tell me anything about their own transformation at hand. Often times when a person calls out for help, they are so shaken by the process of transformation, they cannot even think in a logical manner any more. This is natural as transformation isn’t a logical process often times. It is a jumping off of life’s path or tracks into a totally new place. It’s a very dis-orientating situation.

The second interesting thing was the hope of there being a simple book to use in guidance.

What is important to understand in transformation is this:

Each person is their own puzzle, it isn’t as if there is a single book that will inspire you in proper manner. I work with each person very differently to help them cross thru many different angles of the process, in order to help them best find a path that matches to their spirit and heart.

For example I wrote “A Personal Tao” book to share in part my journey in transformation and to help others, so I wrote it in a generalized manner, but even in this… it wont perfectly be a guide for the masses, but only those in a similar place of mind and situation that I was in at that time.

Understand that in transformation it’s a very personal process, (hence Personal Tao).

While guides like myself exist, you also must learn how to refine your own awareness of life around you.

In this trust to your own smile, learn how to release judgement, to open up the options that best match to your spirit. The process isn’t an easy one since it requires a person to test their own boundaries and initiate growth. This is always a hard process for any person. People seek books and resources to make that easier, but those very same resources limit you to another person’s path also. You can get clues from such materials but in the end it’s about making the journey your own also.

Transformation is always a personal process. When finding guides or resources to help you, make sure that they respect your heart and nature. This is most especially true in books which contain static and fix states of mind. As powerful as any book can be, in the end all books are still limited, by (1) how they were written, and (2) by how you the reader judges it.

Since transformation is about jumping your tracks in life, these two factors are the limiting aspects of any book. While, a smile and an open heart are always limitless in the opportunities that you can find in any moment you are within.

The first step is then this: trust to the smile and open heart, then be aware that all around you: from, books, events, actions, people are the tidbits you need to assemble your own take-off and path for your transformation at hand.
