Mutations can be positive growths as much as negative blockages or episodes just as well as abstract energetic or concrete physical manifestations. Some quantum leaps in thought, technology, or other forms of innovation or development require constricting, pressurized situations which ultimately create a seemingly super-creative state in the participants, where interactions and thoughts are heightened around a certain focal point. These revelations or breakthroughs might not have been possible given a less intense developmental environment when the thought cells and molecules started firing in more symbiotic and additive ways.
Often we can’t control these things, that which we can control or at least attempt with some realistic hope of achieving our ends pursue would be attitudes, efforts, inputting our own resources like quality attention, time, energy, thought and creativity. In the absence of other resources what we do have to offer, and yet more importantly what we can continue to offer over time is undoubtedly our greatest asset towards creating our own extremely sustained and thus change-enhancing mutations and quantum leaps in our own life conditions.
One of my own personal journeys in understanding the complexities and depth involved in confronting change through every day efforts and the composite effects came about through my own contact and involvement with Nichiren Buddhism and the discipline and strength I have found through my own studies, practice and faith. The practice—already a key fundamental aspect towards developing anything—is incredibly re-assuring and grounded, being based on the law of cause and effect, in other words, creating causes inevitably results in effects. So, by directing energy towards "positive" causes, and sustaining them—especially through periods of trial and difficulty which are also inevitable—one WILL, over time, create a longer overall climate conducive to a malleable or direct-able change.
Now that’s something I can believe in.
