The Necessity for Change

Transformation, changing from one psychic state to another, is actually a physical process much like drinking and eating. It's instinctive. Just as some foods and drinks are wanted and needed as nourishment, the body has to be nourished physically by some process of change in order to transform into another psychic state. So, all transformation requires changes of some sort, and those changes are real physical ones---changing jobs, changing spouses, changing houses---as the very action of any physical change, whatever that change might be, triggers a corresponding change in one's psychic state. The need for change is genetic, and it's built into every cell of the body. We have to change to survive. Any belief system that restricts the ability to change is therefore evil, since all restriction must murder the soul. Beware then of any belief that comes in company with some matching set of commandments; such religion kills consciousness.
