Peaceful State
Nonresistance (acceptance) of what is takes you immediately into a peaceful state. All of your actions are then of a high quality and you harbour no internal negativity.
Nonresistance Eliminates Ego
Resistance is of the mind, of the ego. This is why nonresistance can often be misinterpreted by many people as weakness – this is the ego’s interpretation. The ego fears nonresistance because it means no more ego.
The unobserved human mind is in a stream of constant resistance to the present moment – it is rarely in the present. It is always imagining the past or future. What it can not see is that there is only ever this moment. That is all there is. Everything else is imagined, of the mind.
The only thing you have to fully accept is this moment, as it is. That is all. There is no difficult transformation that has to happen within you. Just do it now – accept the present moment fully. This means that you are allowing everything within in it to be, and you stop placing your sense of self and concepts onto anything – even your own thoughts and emotions.
Just be the witnessing consciousness of your inner state. Then you will find it easy to accept the present moment.
Acceptance – The Shortcut To Inner Peace
Imagine yourself in a bad situation. What would happen if you FULLY accepted it? – You would immediately be at peace. You may feel resistance to this within you, as if “some things can not be accepted and require resistance so that they can be corrected or resolved”….
….lets see how this egoic argument is flawed..
The reason the ego believes resistance is necessary in certain situations is because it believes this resistance will resolve its undesirable situation. This will mean it can be at peace at some point in the future – of course this involves time, which the ego lives on.
So it is aiming for peace – but through acceptance of the present moment, inner peace is reached instantly, with no more effort. Does this not seem much easier than the ego’s insane method of resistance before peace?
