Choosing Change and Surviving Transformation

If you've been in personal or spiritual growth communities for any length of time, you have been a seeker of change. Then, when change comes, the screaming can often begin, can't it?

So I started to wonder about this phenomenon, not least because I'm going through my own screaming phase right now, and it's both awe-inspiring even to myself, and terrifying. Both! Here is what I wondered:

• What makes us desire change?
• What makes change so hard and what can we do to make change easier to walk through?
• What is transformation?
• How are change and transformation different? Or are they?

Let's have a conversation, and get some answers to moving into what we so long for - our truly expressed selves - without unnecessary drama, but all the while understanding what is really required of us if we are to move into being all that we are.
