The Great Debate: Can People Truly Change or Do They Stay the Same at Their Core?
What makes them tick stays the same, but how they express it continually changes as they learn more and go through different experiences. The change you are probably referring to is going from bad to good. Bad and good are labels we give to the end results of our choices, not inherent substances within someone or a choice we make.
The Role of Experience in Change
One who makes a lot of choices that end badly gets the label 'bad person,' while someone who makes a lot of successful choices is labeled 'good person.' But how do we truly change? Often, it takes a dramatic experience, old age, or the desire to break old habits. People can truly change, but the path to change is not always predictable or controllable.
Unraveling the Human Essence: Our Unknown Core
The human race has yet to attain complete truth, knowledge, and understanding. This suggests that our essence—the fundamental aspects of who we are—remains largely unknown and unexplored. As such, I contend that individuals do not have control over whether their inner core remains static or evolves. Our essence is a mystery wrapped in layers of experiences, choices, and transformations.
Historical Shifts in Perspective and Perception
Throughout history, we have witnessed profound spiritual shifts in perspective and remarkable innovations that have fundamentally transformed humanity's essence. These changes occur in unimaginable ways, often unexpectedly like a light bulb illuminating a dark room at a moment one least anticipates. These transformations may unfold gradually like the slow transition of seasons or explosively, instantly altering our reality.
Personal Growth and Spiritual Maturation
Each soul experiences these shifts differently, influenced by their current stage of growth and development. The evolution we undergo and the spiritual shifts accompanying it are universal phenomena impacting everyone on their spiritual and emotional maturation journey. These transformations are inevitable, inherent to the human experience.
While humanity in its entirety cannot control the timing or nature of these spiritual shifts, we can embrace them as opportunities for growth and deeper understanding. Every transformation brings us closer to the truth of our own being, and every shift in perspective opens up new dimensions of our soul.
In conclusion, the question of whether people can truly change or stay the same at their core is not about maintaining a static essence. It is about the dynamic nature of human experience and the continuous process of growth and transformation. While we may not fully understand the mechanisms behind these shifts, their presence in our lives is undeniable. As we navigate the complexities of our inner world, we can use these opportunities for change as tools for personal and collective evolution.
