The Power of Transmutation

For a long time, growing up in a society that valued conflict as a way to resolve issues, I felt the best way to accomplish something was to attack it head on. Face to face, like gladiators in an area, may the best man win. Over time however, I began to see that direct conflict was ineffective. It was wasteful, prideful and ultimately unsuccessful. Learning the ways of transmutation allow me to have much better results with minimal conflict and mutually beneficial outcomes.

The core belief of transmutation is the belief that we are all on the same team. The idea that we can find a way together to achieve not only what we want and what others want but to actually create a reality that is better for all of us in ways we never imagined. Of course, there are times when others want what is actually detrimental for us, but even in those cases they have a positive motivation for their actions and when you find it, that is when you begin to unlock the secrets of transmutation.

The formula for transmutation goes something like this: Identify the common positive benefits, goals or objectives, then create a method to achieve them, then put it into action! Pretty straight forward, isn't it? The real key is uncovering the true desired benefits. They are there, sometimes you may have to dig a bit, but they are there. Now maybe you are curious as to how this applies to yourself even.

To begin with, as individuals we often have conflicting beliefs, goals and desires, but at the core there is a deeper consensus. This is usually known as self interest. The seeking of pleasure and avoiding pain. The seeking of happiness and minimizing suffering. The seeking of love and stopping hatred. In other words, the innate desire of our soul to create goodness and eliminate evil. Our divine self is what drives us to create a better life for ourselves and others. So learn to embrace your true nature and what you help to create will shine forth the goodness from within.

When you realize that at the core, everything that people are doing is driven by the need to create goodness, then you can realize the conflict is cause by faulty methods and not the deepest motivations. This applies doubly for you! Create a method that is in deeper harmony and alignment with what you are going to accomplish, and then there is no conflict only positive, beneficial results.
