New Years Resolutions and The Devil!
British philosopher Alan Watts once said, “Making a New Years resolution is like broadcasting your intentions to the Devil.”
Thankfully my experience in the spiritual realm tells me that there is no Devil (with a big D and big horns). However there are forces at work that try to keep you from becoming your best, that try to keep you from progressing on your spiritual journey. Usually these forces are not evil per se, but never-the-less, they do not have your best interest in mind. They do not want you to progress spiritually. In fact they want you to stay right where you are.
We all have things about ourselves, large or small, which we would like to improve. When we try to make progress on them we are often unsuccessful. Sometimes it is just because we don’t try hard enough. We don’t commit. Other times there is literally a force that somehow holds us back. These forces can be in the form of emotional or spiritual blockages.
When we make a resolution to change, we inadvertently broadcast this intention to the very forces that want us to fail. Alan Watts might have counseled that we follow the Water Course or the Way of the Tao, to try without trying to act without acting and thereby do without resolving to do. By doing so, we would not attract the attention of those who want us to fail. Ultimately this may be the best course of action, but until you become a Taoist Master it could be a little difficult to manifest.
Make this New Year a time of renewal. Remove the emotional and spiritual blockages that have been holding you back. Release you essential being that has been blocked. Move forward with Peace and Lightness of Being.
Happy New Year!
Wishing you the very best,
