Does 'Certainty' Exist?
When given the direction to 'be certain' and 'live certainty' I found myself at a real loss. Have I even really been certain about anything in my life? Is certainty even possible in this world?
My solution was to look inward to see what was there, and then to look outward to see what I could learn from others.
Within myself I found very little certainty. In fact, I am often mostly unsure about things and, as my last blog suggest, spiral into blurring uncertainty because I see that nothing is in fact certain in life, at least not the things that I want and need to be. I go into my mind and I can always find a way that it will fail, which is a bad habit of mine, and which creates an insecurity that I can't depend on anything.
I found some certainty in my employment, and in my family - these are things that I can depend on, and have been depending on as a platform for me to create myself from.
When looking outside myself I found a couple of interviews on the Eqafe.com website with regards to creating certainty, which included a trinity or words: Calm, Certain and Trust. The basis here being creating a calm within the certainty the 'I Am Here', I am alive with my heart that is beating and my lungs that are breathing. My heart and lungs are certain in their function and purpose, and that certainty is Me, exists within and as Myself.
The interviews, which I will list below for anyone interested, suggest starting with creating a relationship with self, with the heartbeat, with the breath, and with simply taking a moment every day to be in the body everyday while letting go of the mind activity. Within this, developing and familiarizing self with the certainty that 'I Am Here', and within that certainty, finding, creating and establishing 'Calm'. The trust comes next, I will save that for another blog.

Certainty exists yes. However it depends on the level of precision you attach to that term. How certain is certain? That depends. That doesn't mean its not possible or does not exist.
Good point. I have found two definitions: 1) known for sure; established beyond doubt. 2) specific but not explicitly named or stated. So, I am now looking at how I can change a personal habit or pattern from 'blurring uncertainty' to live words such as: certain, dependable, calm, and trust.
Everything changes, change is the only constant.
