Cycles



The cycles of life are amazing. It wouldn't seem that something that reoccurred throughout the course of your life could be looked at as being amazing but when you consider the mechanism that must be in place in order for this cycle to repeat itself time and time again then you appreciate the title of this blog. Right now I am traveling down the road to greater health and a more compassionate and truth filled existence. I decided to lead the life of a raw vegan for the entire year (currently into day #8 of 365). This is a decision that I have been going over in my head for a long time now. Even during the summer months I thought about it. I feel that I am at my best when I am in control of what I eat. This time last year I was a practicing raw vegan which is why I feel the cycles of life are so amazing. We as a race of human beings easily forget the cycles that our lives travel through and therefor we end up not recognizing special events and triggers that alert us to coming events. Can these cycles be set? My answer to this question is a resounding YES! Not only can they be reset but the SHOULD BE RESET. Each time you pass through a cycle, your action should be to reset it so that on the next pass, you are experiencing things on a different level or from a different perspective. I feel that this is a key element in the journey through life. So how do we reset our individual cycles? The quick answer....through change. Most often we look at change as the "other" four letter word...haha. However, it is a good word and one that simply makes sense when you understand that cycles depend on change to happen. Have you ever heard someone say "Do something different this year that you have not done." Well, I take this to mean, with each new sun, strive for a new experience. This could be listening to different music to try and understand why a certain group of people prefer it over your current choice of music. It could mean eating differently than you have ever eaten. I cold mean wear clothing that didn't cause an animal to get slaughtered. It could mean any number of things. The bottom line is, strive to make the change so that when your cycle happens you "cycle-up!"
