There is a rhythm, terms and cycles of the nature.
Like the terms of ebb and flow movements, rhythms of the stars, seasons cycles. Seasons do not repel each other. The clouds do not compete in the sky. Everything happens in its own time. Just like the ocean waves rising and descending.
Everything has a rhythm in the universe. This rhythm arises as a wavelength and frequency. The cycle of the seasons, route of the stars, cycyling orbits of the planets, tide movements at the sea...etc. This is also like this for the humanity. This is observed as cycles that are following each other. Everything happens in its own rhythm and in its own time. No before, no later. The world dances with the music of the change. The seasons pass, the days are turning into nights.Everything develops in its own turn, changes, grows, arises, disappears, born, dies,comes, goes. The one arising is sinking, the one sinking is arising. This is the rule of change. The winds of change can come as a violent storm and also as a breeze stroking your cheeks that turn your life upside down.Transformation is the only thing that is continuous and there is a specific way, unique time of the transformation.
We always feel complex emotions about change. Sometimes when the life comes monotonous, we want somethings to change but when everything goes well, the change becomes difficult, especially the hard ones.
However, the change itself is not difficult. It becomes real as the sunrise in the mornings and it takes its place in our life. But most of us search for known ways to create a feeling of order and control. That’s why, we realize the change as a luck or a disaster depending upon our desires and wishes. While the couples are saying welcome to the rain, the ones having a picnic are cursing.
The Rule of Alteration reminds us to transform ourselves like the seasons change. We do not have to continue our life with the old habits. Our future shouldn’t be the repetition of our past. The transformation leads us to a greater awareness, conscious and peace at the end.
The ones who deal with earth know. The seeds only product their own kinds, always whatever you plant, you saw that, when you pick the crops up, you always seperate some of the seeds for the next season, the previous needs to be completed for the new season to start, the time for each seed to grow, change and at last die is different, you have to grub the soil to get full product. Our lives are like seeds and seasons.
You have to enjoy each season of your life. Prepare the soil with patience, plant the seeds and work hard. If you do these, you get the fruits of your work with abundance. Just like you accept the change of the seasons is a natural, accept the events that are luck and misfortune as they are. Enjoy also the white beauty of the winter and the hot and mild days of the summer. Each season, each day, each moment comes and passes and none is never the same with each other or the repetition of each other. Accept each season with its own beauty instead of missing the winter in the suffocating heat of the summer, missing the summer in the in the middle of the winter. Like movement of the vessel over the waves, be in harmony with the waves of the time and transformation.
THE WINDS OF CHANGE WILL BLOW THOUGH YOU ENJOY OR NOT. THEN YOU THINK THAT TO ACCEPT THIS AS IT IS QUITE REASONABLE, DON’T YOU?
You are right but this alone is not enough, besides this, the other things also. Because the Rule of Change shows how to be in harmony with our own development. It teaches us the right timing.
HOW ?
For everything, there is the most proper time and less proper time. The doors open and close; the energies go up and down. It is at once and fast. Fulfillment of the thought or the action that come across the moment descending moment of the energy takes so much time than necessary. Then the Rule of Change teaches us the patience that is a piece of wisdom uniting with the Rule of Action.
The wise person in you tells you when you have to act, when you have to stop, when you have to talk, when you have to be quiet, when you have to work, when you have to rest, when the energy arises or you have to wait for the next rising wave.

The jeweller presented the ring to King Solomon. The King took the ring and he turned it around in his hand and immediately later he looked at the writing inside with curiosity.
The writing inside the ring is that: This also will pass !
