More and more I am believing that love and acceptance and surrender are all the same. We're talking nonresistance.
To my very immature spiritual self, Resist not evil is the most profound directive found in the Bible...or maybe just the Sermon, I tend to exaggerate, and I for sure have not read the entire Bible. I have, however, read the Sermon...and repeatedly. For that matter, originally I read those three words repeatedly cursing and crying all the while because I would not allow them to mean what they said.
It took some time before I would grasp that they meant exactly what they said...only not to the reasoning mind, but more deeply at a higher level...in God's world.
It is only through nonresistance that we can be in the now...NOW. That we can love what is...that we can accept our own self, warts and all...that we can surrender to that which we cannot see, cannot touch, cannot audibly hear. That we can and must surrender to that which we cannot defend...only our reasoning mind imagines that It needs defense.
Love stands alone...encompassing the world. Resist it not and be as One.
Thank you.
