CHANGING LEVELS TOO

If you feel the weight of circumstance pulling you down from achieving all your dreams, I believe you are at the right place because today, I am going to show you a practical way of CHANGING LEVELS; is it from being single to becoming married, from being unemployed to employed or for whatever level you want to attain. You need to follow an exact principle which has nothing to do with New Year resolution or stronger will. Have you tried very hard to get out of that condition you are in but it seems as if the gravity of circumstances keeps holding you down? You need to wipe your tears because the answer to your issue is around you.

I started in Part 1 by telling you how my baby girl taught me to visualize where I wanted to be and then follow it but I did not tell you the process, you had to go through in order to get there. It is very easy for you to assume in order to move from one level to another, you needed the circumstances to change but that’s not the way it works because for you to change levels in life, you have to evolve while the circumstance remains constant. This is the way it works; if you are interested in moving from single hood to being married (assuming you want a Godly married- marriage that would last and you would find fulfillment), you would not change levels by finding a man to propose to you because you can be married and yet not enjoy the fruits of being married. You would get to that stead of fulfilled marriage if you constantly evolve because you would then attract a partner who also wants a fulfilled marriage.

This is the principle that precedes every substantial change whether the actors involved are aware of it or not. The law of gravity does not change, if you need to render the law of gravity inefficient, you need to acquire a different law like the law of aerodynamics. This is the way levels are changed; you change while the circumstances remain constant. But how do you change and render your circumstances ineffective? This is a very good question and deserves your full attention. You need to metamorphose, you need to change to a totally new creature and this can only be achieved by renewing your mind because the mind is the seat that makes who we are. The difference between two people is the way their mind functions not the way they look. The mind which I would also refer to as the soul needs to prosper for you to prosper. This is the key to every change.

Let me tell you a story about the wild dog latched to a door, every time he tries run away, it experiences pain because of the latch. It tries its best to get away but only ends up sustaining lessons and pains around its neck. Over time, it learnt never to run away but just stay within the perimeter that would prevent the pains it experience whenever it tried to run away. If the latch is taken away from its neck, the wild dog would find it difficult to run away. This story perfectly defines conditioning and its effect on every living creature. If I want to change my level from unemployed to being employed and I am required to write an aptitude test. If I fail the aptitude test in a successive recruitment process like say 7 times, I would be condition to believe I am not good with aptitude test even if I am giving an aptitude test that I am enabled to pass very easily. This is the dilemma that faces every human- the barrier that hinders human from getting to their preferred level.

In order to understand this phenomenon and create a bypass, one needs to study the metamorphosis of the caterpillar to a butterfly because the caterpillar is hindered by gravity while the butterfly is not though they are the same specie. This is what God meant in the bible when it said when any man is in Christ, he is a new creature not physical but in the way his mind works. This new creature, just like the butterfly, is not hindered by the gravity of circumstance; the creature has a different law within him that makes these circumstances ineffective. In transforming to this new creature, there is a total overhauling of the mind based on your preferred need. Let’s look deeply at the caterpillar-butterfly metamorphosis.

There are five stages that the caterpillar must go through before entering it’s pupate stage (the stage that transits the butterfly stage). These stages are referred to as Instar but before the butterfly changes from one stage to another, it sheds its skin (this is called molting). How the caterpillar molts is the same way a man changes from one level to another. The butterfly molts by growing a new skin within the one that it already possesses, when the new skin has been fully formed, the old skin automatically sheds away. If a man wants change his level, he has to renew his mind not enhance his physical appearance. He enhances his mind by focusing on where he desires to be in (check part 1 for more details). If the mind has been fully formed in that direction, it automatically shed its old ideas and he is on its way to the new level though like the butterfly it has not yet grown wings. You develop your mind towards the place you are going to and you would find yourself there.

This principle has been repeated by great minds all over the world and the true litmus test comes when there is a law that hinders your desire just the way Paul in the bible complained that there was a law that is hindering what he desired. When the law hinders your desire, you know you have not fully developed that mind. So my dear, keep improving your mind by feeding it with where you want to get to in life. Let me take this opportunity to wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS in advance.
