It is resistance to what is that causes mental paralysis.
It is our ego's legislating for itself (which is its natural state so we can only recognize that, not change it) that causes us pain. It is our attempts to avoid pain that brings the unintended consequence...of pain.
It is our nonresistance to our idea/fear of pain that leads us out of ourselves into God.
Primarily, the pain we are trying to avoid is psychic pain. Psychic pain is entirely personal, based in fear, and, if our choice is freedom from the bondage of self, there is no way around it...we must go through it.
We walk through it, unresisting (sometimes known as "beaten"), we get to the other side...lo, it's a miracle, life is good. Sometimes, life is good only because we got to the other side, but the overwhelming majority of the time, life is good because we have received a gift beyond our ability to plan for...we never knew it existed. It is understanding beyond our reasoning mind.
This is the pearl beyond price...this is God consciousness. The open field of nonresistance, acceptance, I'm not right/you're not wrong, and it makes no never mind anyway since we're all winners...and this place is only available to us right here and right now.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Back story: This post almost feels like a message to me from God since it so perfectly describes my journey today. January 2013 was the month cosmic changes came to me to walk through...all of which I am still doing. Not to put on "mysterious" airs, on January 2, 2013, I joined a yoga class, then began physical exercise on a daily basis, along with yoga. I had attempted physical exercise annually since 1967...each time I lasted maybe six or seven weeks...never before had I tried yoga because "I don't know how." I continue my regimen every week day to this day, and I feel in awe still. Enough said. Oh, thank you.
