The answers to life

Posted on by philipdodson

The answers to life we already know, from the day we are born to the day we die. We have all the wisdom that we will ever need, we have all the wisdom of the universe. When we realise this, we can allow the universe to guide us, we are the universe.

We confuse facts and information etc with intelligence. We have trillions of cells within our body that are crammed full of intelligence, we are a ball of energy, and we are one of the incomprehensible numbers of multiple parts of the universe.

We are the universe, not this separate life that we have been conditioned to believe. We have intelligence way beyond our human mind, which is an incredible creative tool. We are the knower.

If we want to know the answer we just have to look within ourselves, we have to connect to the unmanifested within ourselves that is our gateway to the universe, the source, the place where we will always belong. Feel not think.

We know the answer and yet we allow our minds to overrule us, sabotage us and to prevent us from doing what we know is right for us.

We have to trust ourselves, we know.

Inner and outer acceptance

Posted on by philipdodson

Accepting what is, is different from outwardly accepting everything passively that has occurred.

What has already occurred in the world, in life, at this exact moment can not be altered, as soon as it happens it instantly becomes the past, it is gone, unalterable. Therefore, for peace within and to not suffer from others’ actions, and for the sake of our mental and physical state, it is best to always accept it as it is, futile to do anything else.

However, that does not mean that we have to choose to be completely passive about everything that has occurred, equally, we do not have to be combative and aggressive either. When we accept all within, it allows us to act from a place of peace and calm within and without becoming the reaction that our mind and ego would want. Therefore, when we do act, it is more likely to be received without others needing to react aggressively. When we are calm, yet true to ourselves, others will be calm and more ready to hear us and understand us.

For example, I accept that there are people who choose to be cruel to animals, however, I am not going to be outwardly passive if witnessed someone being cruel to an animal, I would act to prevent it as it goes against my values.

There is a big difference between accepting what is and how we choose to act. Accepting what is, is essential to be able to act from a place of inner calm and take out our agendas and ego. However, if there are things that go against our truth, against our values, or threaten us or the people we love, then we can act and protect what matters to us.

Acceptance within is not about being uncaring or passive, it is about not suffering within from other peoples’ actions and choices. We can accept, however, we do not have to agree or be silent. We can choose how we act always, and sometimes there are situations where we choose to not act, this is fine too. However, we should never be fearful of saying our truths and acting according to our hearts and values.
