Creating Change
“In order to consciously create our own reality, we must recognize that we can only create it from the uncertain potential into which the Universe expands. For this reason, overcoming our fear of the uncertain future has great power to change the world.”
Spotted Eagle
Spotted Eagle teaches that we, as a species, have a genetic predisposition to fear the future, and to try with all our might to make that future certain and predictable. He says this obsession with creating the illusion of certainty is at the root of most of our problems, personally, culturally, and globally. All fear of the future is sourced in an uncertainty that we resist and therefore try to control. If we understand that uncertainty is the Universe’s creative force and the guardian of our untapped potential, we can begin to understand why overcoming fear of uncertainty is so essential to our own evolution and the evolution of humanity. We must also recognize that not everything is possible for us at any given time. Spotted Eagle teaches us that only certain, specific possibilities are true potentials for us in the now. Fear of the uncertain future can cause us to yearn for possibilities that are not actualizable, and this has the consequence of causing us to invest energy in what cannot be manifested right now. Yearning for what is not actualizable now also blinds to potentials we actually do have, but of which we may not be aware. Expanding our awareness of actualizable potential, he tells us, must be our focus because it is the most reliable way for us to choose to invest our creative energies in things that will be productive and effect lasting change.
