    About this ebook

    Embracing Change is a short, to the point book that explores how change can be a positive factor in your life. The book helps you to develop a positive attitude to change and overcome the natural resistance we all have to something new.

    Breaking out of the normal mould of self-help books about change, Embracing Change comes at the topic from a spiritual perspective that is appropriate no matter what tradition you follow or spiritual beliefs you hold.

    Most chapters have practical exercises included to help to guide you through a process of embracing change in your life. Chapters include:

    • Why is Change an Issue?
    • Active Change
    • Cultivating Self-Awareness
    • A Path of Change
    • Moving Forward
    • Hanging On
    • New Ideas
    • Dissatisfaction
    • Accepting Responsibility
    • Desire and Decision
    • Research
    • Action
    • The Power of Habit
    • Evaluation and Learning
    • Repetition
    • Dealing with Resistance
    • Expect Pushback
    • Lifelong Growth
    • The Value of Failure
    • Sharing the Journey
    • Mobility

    The title of this series, 21st Century Spirituality – Ancient Wisdom, Modern Practice, sums everything up. The world of spiritual development, the esoteric or the occult (call it what you will) is an old one, or at least one with old roots that reach back right to the earliest days of human existence (and maybe earlier). Yet it is not a static one, because change and the possibility of amazing new developments are part of all human knowledge.

    This is a series of books aimed at one thing: supporting you in your personal quest for growth and change, healing, finding yourself, casting off the identity imposed on you by society, family or yourself through fear, and becoming a powerful, integrated and independent person who is following a path you have chosen for yourself.

      Embracing Change - Wayne Beith

      Preface

      This is a short, to the point book that introduces the 21st Century Spirituality – Ancient Wisdom, Modern Practice series of books and gives you some specific techniques for handling growth and change in your life.

      The title of this series, 21st Century Spirituality – Ancient Wisdom, Modern Practice, sums everything up. The world of spiritual development, the esoteric or the occult (call it what you will) is an old one, or at least one with old roots that reach back right to the earliest days of human existence (and maybe earlier). Yet it is not a static one, because change and the possibility of amazing new developments are part of all human knowledge.

      This is a series of books aimed at one thing: supporting you in your personal quest for growth and change, healing, finding yourself, casting off the identity imposed on you by society, family or yourself through fear, and becoming a powerful, integrated and independent person who is following a path you have chosen for yourself.

      We can never know all knowledge at any point in time. It is only human arrogance to assume that what we know is all there is to know or that there is only one truth. But assuming that no one actually has it all together offers us hope of improvement, change and the possibility of making a real contribution to the world.

      This series of books sets out to explore old worlds and new. We will go on a journey together, jumping between the past, present and future. My emphasis is on practical advice that you can immediately apply in your own life. But I will also be including the theory that you will need to really understand what is going on so that you can make both the theory and practice your own.

      In places we will need to deal with difficult topics, and I will try to take you through these in as gentle a way as possible. In still others we will have to deal with uncertainty. There I will present you with all the possible explanations and options (at least that I know of) and leave it to you to determine your personal truth. Lastly you should be prepared to be confronted. I do not pull punches and so I will sometimes be quite blunt and direct about things that I believe will not serve you well.

      I've been through this very path of growth and discovery that you are on, and in fact I still am, because it is a lifelong process for all of us. I've made mistakes, gone down paths that later I decided were not right for me, had wonderful experiences, met amazing people and stretched myself till I thought I would snap. In this I've had the support of friends and family, and two strong, powerful women who have been my wives. The first is now in spirit. The second came into my life later and is very much at my side on this path now. And my daughter has now joined now me as well. But there have also been times when I've been on this path by myself, seemingly alone and unsupported. At those times, as now, books like this have helped and guided, and indeed been a friend to me in those dark nights of the soul that we all experience. I hope that in some small way, through these books, and my other teachings, that I can help to support you on your journey, and maybe shine some light to illuminate your way.

      Introduction

      Change is usually confronting. Most of us are creatures of habit, and we seek ways to make our lives as stable as possible. Yes, stability is important, but it is also an illusion. Life is a dynamic process and inherent to that dynamism is change. Learning to deal with change, to control it and our reaction to it, is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.

      At the time of writing this I am 59 years old. As I reflect back over my life, so far, there has been massive change, both personally, in the professions I have worked in and in the world in general. I've been divorced and widowed, and am now in my third marriage where we've just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. I've changed careers multiple times, from systems programmer to academic, then to journalist and magazine editor, education consultant and back into higher education in various roles. I've established and run multiple businesses. I've done lots of technology consulting. I've switched academic discipline, from almost 20 years in computer science to now almost 20 years in the creative arts. I was born into the cold war, fully expecting a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Then that collapsed. The new problem became terrorism. Now Russia is an issue again, and China is a looming one. I've gone from a world with phone boxes to very powerful computers in your pocket that have replaced the household phone, camera and much more. I've gone from snail mail to email, Facebook and much more.

      The above is all the outward stuff. Of course I've changed massively internally. I've gone from cripplingly shy to much more outward going.
