Where Distraction Ends : Stillness, Surrender, and the Divine Within

At times, as much as we want to hold on to our previous environments and the people within them, a shift in our mindset and consciousness often brings resistance—both externally and internally. We're faced with the tough decision of letting go and accepting the new. 

This isn’t to say we must get "rid" of relationships or things, but rather, we begin to see them for what they truly are. If they still "vibrate" in a frequency close to the current version of us, they will remain—physically or mentally. If not, they will simply fade into cherished memories and serve as foundational blocks of the future self we’re becoming.

Environments often resist change in others because change challenges the status quo. Accepting someone else’s transformation often means confronting the need to change ourselves. That’s why we shouldn’t try to force change in others. Instead, we tune ourselves—and through that tuning, we influence our environment indirectly.

Picture a stack of magnets on a table. If you rotate one, the others might shift slightly but ultimately pull it back to its original position. Real change often comes not from rotating one magnet, but from removing one, adding a new one, or grounding one so it can’t be shifted back. That’s how environments shift—through sustained change and rooted alignment.

Old friendships and family ties are often vital to those dependent on their environment. But once you begin the quest of “Who am I?” you start to uncover which parts of you are truly "you", and which were simply reflections of your surroundings. And that discovery is beautiful. Not easy—especially in modern times—but absolutely beautiful. The quest for oneself is, in many ways, the quest for God.

To follow God is to tap into the collective consciousness—beyond the limits of human conception. By becoming less, we become more. In stillness, we find what the endless distractions of movement try to hide. 

True abundance is not found in accumulation, but in the acceptance and actualization of love and gratitude.
