A Human Becoming

 We are all Human Beings. Yes. Even You. No matter how much you or I am in denial of this, it is so. And we just keep on Being all the time. And whether or not we are Being someone whom we can be happy with or not is completely up to us. No matter our past circumstances, what happened to us, who we are Being Right Now is up to each of us.

No exceptions.

So many of us settle into a way of being at a very young age and never evolve after that. And there is nothing wrong with that. For most people they have become someone that they can be that is familiar, that is comfortable, even if the only comfortable part of that is the familiarity. And there are really no surprises left in their lives. It may or may not be very workable. And it is the known. And for so many of us it is the familiar known that may not be great over the unfamiliar unknown even though that unknown could be fantastic. Or, rather the devil you know over the angel you do not.

And then there are the fewer numbers of people who, for a vast array of different, and usually very personal, reasons make the choice to become someone else. Who's way of Being just no longer works for them at all. And, for everyone that I know at least who has hit that moment where a choice has to be made, it is a very deeply troubling place.

And they become a Human Becoming. Just Being no longer works for them.

I find that in my experience once a person chooses to take on Becoming then they never stop. They may pause, sometimes for a serious length of time. And yet, in the end, staying in one place of Being is no longer comfortable. Once one has started the Transformation Process very rarely is one able to stop completely.

It does happen sometimes though. What I find is that when a person stops the transformative process what happens is they revert to the person they were, for the most part, before they began. I also find that there is a lot of anger involved. And blaming. Blaming of their life and circumstances on other people, places, situations, organizations, etc. A displacement of responsibility along with, hidden or open, massive amounts of self pity.

We have then three choices, stay where we are which can work and is sometimes uncomfortable. Start and stop the process of transformation which is, in my experience not comfortable at all and requires a massive abrogation of responsibility and ability to affect ones own life. Or, start the transformation process and continue on for the rest of life. Maybe pause here and there. Sometimes it is necessary to take time to practice the new self that has been created. And continue on until the ultimate transformation which awaits us all.

And then we are a Human Becoming. Always Becoming.

So Dear readers, are you a Human Being? Are you a Human Becoming? Are you somewhere in between? Is your Life and way of Being something that you want or is it the default setting that the world expects us to be?

I tell you this, if a knuckle headed fool like myself can take on a Transformative Life, then anyone on this planet can.

Even you.

This I know is true.
