Climate Change Keeps On Changing...03/26/02
by Mitch Battros (ECTV)

 Although it may appear crystal clear to many of us, some would even say repetitive, we need to remember it takes several appearances for the mainstream to begin to see it as "mainstream". It's just the way our American culture works. We are conditioned to 'repetitive marketing'. So be it. The bottom line is good. The masses have now caught on that the world is changing and changing fast.

 I know to most of ECTV's viewers a resounding "duh"! might be a common response. However, when you think outside the box, you will start to notice even the most conservative of people have taken notice. Let us remember the human element to this phenomena. It is possible some may begin to become very uncomfortable with this new reality. To many of us our response would be "wow, it's now here. Time to get ready.". But others (majority) might be saying "what the hell is happening. I've never seen anything like this. This is not suppose to happen".

 As stated on my page "About Mitch" I say " At the end of every lecture Mitch reminds the audience, "it is not you I am speaking to, it is your family and friends who are not here. Those of you in attendance of this event, will be least affected by the more sudden shift of physical and spiritual transition just around the corner."

During this time of wars and weather, we will need to rely on one another more than ever. There are many spiritual disciplines who describe this very idea, at this very time. Now, here is the ironic challenge...During this time of change is when we, as humans, will be most likely to act out. I now call it "the passage of change". A form of mental, emotional, spiritual process we will are likely to endure.

In the mental health field we see this everyday. When a person starts to make changes in their life, even if it is positive one and in their best interest, a high risk of self sabotage exist. Not only does each individual struggle with themselves, they are likely to receive resistance from family and friends. Does this sounds crazy and backwards? Yes, but true.

We as humans tend to like predictability and routine, of ourselves, as well as those around us. When change occurs in our lives (either direction) we put on the brakes and say "wait a minute, this doesn't feel right". It is during this time, we will need to break it down into smaller pieces. Move slow, but always forward. Complacence is regression. As we become more familiar with our new environment (and self), we will be able to move into change more easily. Those who cannot or will not, make the changes needed, will be likely to experience shock and trauma. A typical profile of a person most likely to do poorly with change are those who try and control their environment. Also known as "control freaks". Those who need to know where everything is at all times. A need to make sure everything is in it's place. They live by a code of "the way things ought to be...this is how it is". 

Those who appear to do best with change, are often those with some form of spiritual orientation. Able to be strong, but flow with discord and change. Their external reality is less directing then their internal vision. This profile lives closer to the code of  "we are all just kind of guessing". This person is more likely to encourage people to "follow your own truth, not mine". Often ones truth coincides with the other. Instead of "this is the way it is" they say "there is no one way". There are now several corporations who have caught on and use this principle. Instead of trying to manipulate or force employees to work by "this is how it is" they have shifted to empowering the employee and solicit their input into the decision making process. It is a huge success. 

In what appears to be undeniable changes ahead in both weather (earth changes) and war, we will need to rely more on our intuition and our communities. Many spiritual disciplines announce we are in times of enlightenment. It will be" the passage of change" and how we handle in which one may suffer or expand.

The Hopi's call it "The Great Purification". I call it "The Transition".
