Although transformation is often seen semantically as a physical change – in shape, size, color, and other externalities – in neurobiological, psychological, and spiritual terms, transformation refers to strategical change in the state of mind with calculated outcome. This concerns how we procreate, interact, and evolve based on transcendental processes on the subliminal and physical level.
Potential for development lies in our very core as a result of our natural ability to survive by adjusting to less invasive occurrences. Simply said, we are constantly changing, but not necessarily evolving, depending on the nature of the application of new information, intentional or casual.
The main difference between lifelong change and personal transformation is intention.
Generative transformation is the second step of personal growth, after emotional healing has taken place or during the process of recovery. It is only after getting to know ourself from a different perspective – by recognizing our own role in a given scenario instead as a victim of coincidences – that we reverse that formula for a personal development with desired effect.
Change is the only constant in life.
Though, applying awareness into earlier
programming allows freedom of choice: to continue adapting to circumstances or to get transformed according to your own vision
As we are highly adaptable beings, change is constantly taking place within us; with every information intake – visual, conversational, spatial, with every fact and message filtered into your reality. We grow through the environment and its challenges, become more skilled at actualizing ideas, reacting and adapting to external circumstances, developing an awareness of values and the consequences of our choices… Change as such is unintentional growth, while the definition of growth depends on the quality of informational intake, its purpose and certainly its use.
Progress happens when intention meets reflection in the conscious mind.
Personal transformation, on the other hand, begins with intention. Unlike change, which is not necessarily intense and often comes as a more or less comfortable side effect, an intentional, generative transformation requires a strategy and effort to thrive, and a certain amount of awareness of the body as mind and its actions within the process. Most of all, personal transformation is both the journey and the destination. It is a deliberate change after making a conscious decision and taking the required action for a certain direction in your life.
Personal transformation occurs both as a desire and as an inevitability, almost naturally, by recognizing the own capacity to overcome what once appeared as unimaginable, after emotional healing has taken place or during the recovery process – they usually overlap, as emotional healing takes time.
But so does intentional change or generative transformation; for when we learn how our mental body has worked its way through the emotional realm into the physical experience in the past, we learn to transmute that same formula to create the new timeline of personal reality for the future.
Accordingly, by moving reflection from the past closer to the present is how space for awareness is established – an attentive state of being and the ultimate space to deliberately create from.
Transformation is the phase when you start being mindful of your habitual patterns and how deep rooted they are in your cognitive mechanics, as well of skills and attributes acquired and developed over the years of adjustment to the external challenges. And it is a time where the knowledge of yourself – mental, emotional, and behavioral – can be instrumentalized for the purpose of becoming whatever you want to be.
Because, now, you know.
If the healing phase has been described as difficult, the transformation can at least be described as messy, chaotic. It’s that your whole being – mind, energy and body – shows you with its tremendous resistance how comfortable it is with self-destruction. You learn the power of habit and how hardwired it is into our core and existence. The secret lies in teaching your subconscious mind to feel safe in a different way of responding to challenges, repeatedly putting yourself in new states of operating.
It is also the phase where most patience is required, because of the power that the habitual behavior has over the intentional one.
So grit your teeth and bear it, and stay tuned for the final phase…
