Resistance is in emergence everywhere. In the minute details of my everyday floating around. My relationship with myself and my self's relationship with everything else. On a micro and macro basis. Resistance is everywhere.
This is no accident. The greater the rate of change the greater the resistance. And in the multi-dimensional view of the universe resistance comes in many flavours. Here's what the dictionary says:
re·sist·ance
1. the act or power of resisting, opposing, or withstanding.
2.the opposition offered by one thing, force, etc., to another.
3. Electricity
a. Also called ohmic resistance. a property of a conductor by virtue of which the passage of current is opposed, causing electric energy to be transformed into heat: equal to the voltage across the conductor divided by the current flowing in the conductor: usually measured in ohms. Abbreviation: R
b. a conductor or coil offering such opposition; resistor.
4.Psychiatry
a. opposition to an attempt to bring repressed thoughts or feelings into consciousness.
5. an underground organisation composed of groups of private individuals working as an opposition force in a conquered country to overthrow the occupying power, usually by acts of sabotage, guerrilla warfare, etc.: the resistance during the German occupation in World War II.
Whatever the transformation, politically, psychological or physical, resistance is always around. I see it. I meet it. I engage with it. and like heat, I transform it. Resistance of the magnitude we are experiencing at the moment means the river is running fast and furious. No one knows where we're going. But whether its a challenging yoga pose, the outrageous execution of Troy Davis, the response to civil unrest or some incredible volume on some topic from the voice within, the response is the same. Breathe deeply, push as deeply as you feel you can into the resistance - psychologically, politically, physically, globally - with as much compassion and grace as you can muster. Then hang on for as long as you can, paddle when necessary and watch out for sharp rocks.
