The Power to Change

In absolute terms, there is only one change for the better—it is the change that occurs when we experience repentance in the light. We see our wrongs and lament them. We see the lies of the world and how we were misled. We see our own lack of commitment to what is right, and thus our weakness that permitted us to be led astray.

We then turn from our wrongs and begin to live anew as a simple person instead of the hard ambitious resentful thing we had become. 

After this live giving miracle is implemented in your life, you will then have conflict with the world, instead of conflict with your conscience. This conflict with the world is a positive thing, meaning that there has been a change in you that makes you incompatible with the world. 

Now instead of copping out on principle, you hold up the light. Instead of saying nothing and letting evil flourish, you speak up. And when you encounter opposition, as you surely will, you hold your ground and remain patient instead of resenting.
