Homeostasis – Nature’s way of maintaining the status quo

I re-read the book Mastery by George Leonard recently, it’s amazing how much new and insightful things you can pickup from a book you’ve already read before. What I like about books that I don’t like about watching movies is that you can read them over and over again and not be bored by them, however there are only a once maybe twice you can watch something audio-visual and your mind gets bored of it and wants more stimulation.

I guess it probably comes down to the fact that when you’re reading you have to be fully engaged with it, and you create the content in your mind with your imagination, you fill the gaps, you make the words real be inventing the visual in your head. It keeps the mind occupied, and every time you read it the visuals may be different.

The chapter that made me put down my book and think to myself.. And put me deep in thought about my life.. What I have been doing right and what I have been doing wrong (more wrong than right I have to say) is Homeostatis. The idea that things are not meant to change, and nature will naturally return you back to your original place like an elastic band every time you venture out outside your comfort zone.

Otherwise there would be chaos, there would be no stability and consistency, and we humans need stability and consistency tokeep us sane.

It doesn’t mean that people don’t change, it means that people are exactly how they want/supposed to be.

This is really law of attraction revisited, but it’s often too easy to dismiss the secret and the law of attraction because often times it comes across as patronising, and a bit unrealistic. But it really is true.

What I realised from reading that chapter in Mastery is that deep down up until this point I didn’t really want a girlfriend, I didn’t want to go through the heartache, rejection and pain, I was happy to go alone as  a loner in this world. Even though externally I thought I’d like a girlfriend. Often what you want is the first milisecond gut reaction to certain events, and you need to be tuned into hearing that. I guess.

So I went into a cocoon recently and wrote down and visualised exactly what I want and why I want them, I even devised a vision board vis-a-vis the secret style, and will be changing my core beliefs by continually visualising my dreams and aspiration.
