Metanoia

Our way of life reflects our very own being. Just like a moving car directly proportional to its end. However, from time to time it may change direction but still it would landed on the same goal. One protocol in this regard is to make sure that our vehicle is wholly conditioned and fully fueled in order to make things smooth and  travel  nicely. This is an avenue wherein we position ourselves to counter the emerging life's situation that carries  undeniable underpinning elements may it be, however, positive or negative. Moreover, we do have our own innate gifts that we can maximize and use as an instrument in order to step forward in our dreams, longing, quest etc .. that we want to accomplish. Perhaps, it would be tantamount to a phenomenon of a vehicle which make's travel from one point to another that actualizes itself by all means of its potentials towards its end. The point is, we do not have it already and we only need to unfold it continuously by changing for the better and we must start from within before going outward. 




 Shall I say, it all started simply in a simple beginning wherein we can say, from hidden potentials to the grandiosity of actualizing the fullness of what we are meant to be. And that is by embracing the beauty of change. Change, is indeed always part in our day-to-day life since we are a being towards its full realization and therefore we are in the arena of continuous self-unfolding.

In our temporal life, we can not but accept the fact the in order to be stable, we need to be in a constant state of change and it is the irony of life. We could say, life is an interplay of changeable and unchangeable and it is sometimes or most of the time beyond our human capacity to grasp the whole thing. Moreover, change do happened every day like miracle's that we could hardly realize at times but, whether we like it or not it is real and we better conform ourselves to it for we are in it. 

In our quest for wholeness and satisfaction in life's endeavor, dramatic changes do occur unexpectedly in a manner that is hard to believe and  fathom at time's. 

The third law of motion states that, " In every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. " This point of view may be applicable to the Mechanical world where it is constantly in motion and indeed it really make sense in our very own bodily senses.

Thomas Hobbes, in his idea of atomic individualism on the inductive argumentation that he presented as a complementary to the maxim, "Man is a wolf," would agree that we are basically inclined by our nature to be in motion, and when there is motion there is change. We are composed of minute particles that is constantly in motion. Therefore, we cannot deny the fact that we are constantly in a state of motion in our physical sense, from particular to general. But what about the metaphysical reality within us, our feelings, our dreams, our abstract mind and heart?  Is it not worth deciphering for philosophical investigation and theological endeavor? To be capable of transcending our life's goal and reason of living would bring us to a greater appreciation of our existence and thus we must have and open heart and mind to facilitate a higher quest.. 




 
We must seek for greater gnosis that could satisfy the battle cry of our longings and widen our horizons to realize what is there, beyond what we see. After all, Antoine Van Exupery in the little prince says, "It is only in the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible in our naked eyes. "

As we step forward there must be an act coming from within that would connect us, perhaps like a spider web in the communal context. And from there, our response would be a leap of faith in order for us to be attuned into the arena of transcendental image of our very own being. However, this fact needs our very own response to cater our self into the participation of doing so. henceforth, there must be a metanoia --- an Ancient Greek word (μετάνοια) meaning "changing one's mind or change of one's heart," that will serve as our point of departure in pursuing our quest. let it serve as a stepping stone for a higher leap by going beyond reason.
