The pursuit of mind control centers on our ability
to fully accept the life we are living now, rather
than resisting what is appearing in our day-to-day
world. To “accept” is to say “yes” to what is
happening, understanding its importance in our
life now.
Even when our life is not what we had planned
or desired, it plays a key role in setting up the
contrast and show us what we truly want
to attract and manifest instead.
This is not passive acceptance, of course,
we will take this contrast and work diligently
to change what is changeable, but for now,
today, let us stop the rampage of our egos
and accept what is!
This current life will also provide us with
insight into what mind control work we need
to undertake, including fully comprehending
and overcoming the fears and pitfalls of the ego
may create to sabotage our progress.
The term “radical acceptance" is used
to emphasize that this is not easy but takes
great strength and courage.
ACCEPTANCE VERSUS RESISTANCE
You must strive to accept who you are,
where you are and what you are, in order
to find peace and learn that these experiences
in your life do not fully define your life.
These experiences are challenging, frustrating
and at times - appear insurmountable but are
only momentary – temporary –and your fear
focus makes them incomprehensible when
they are really merely a moment in time.
Placing your self-worth on these experiences is
foolish and leads you only to anxiety, frustration,
and hopelessness. You are not what you experience –
you are not less because what you are attempting
does not work out as planned. Living this way only
leads to turmoil and a roller coaster of emotions
and self-doubt.
You cannot judge yourself by the success or failure
of your life, for these are short-lived – transitory –
and have no meaning. Use these experiences to
practice being above the outcomes and learn from
the struggle.
Learn to understand that you contribute to these
experiences through mind action, self-doubt, and
self-recrimination. Ask what you are to learn from
this experience and how you could have reacted to it
differently. Did you resist, did you not accept?
Acceptance and non-resistance are the keys to
surviving and growing as a spiritual being.
Today, accept and react without ego – without
emotion and know all is as it should be –
and life is on track.
