I often read that we must resist the negative, fight to hold on to the positive. No we don't. If we have to fight, or to live in resistance to anything, to be happy, we're going down that wrong road again.
Who feels reduced to surrender and feels good about it? Then we get to the overlooked truth about acceptance...getting to it is as painful as surrender if we do it right. The dilemma is the cohabitation of surrender and acceptance. We've got to marry those two up if we're ever going to be at peace, and there it is. The painful act of surrender-unto-acceptance is the crucible.
This is not the acceptance of the reasoning mind, i.e., financial security, friends and loves, winning. No. We're talking spiritually earned acceptance...our own Pointe du Hoc, the holy cliffs we must climb in consciousness to effortlessly...unconsciously?...surrender our wants for our needs.
The drag-foot truth is, it is for the benefit of others and our own peace of mind that we seek now to give over, give up, give in. There...full circle, back to God's hidey-hole where, we are told, all those things are added unto us.
Resist not...thank God...love and laugh.
Thank you.
