Patience allows growth

No matter how awake we think we are, how enlightened, how conscious…we all are human, we all get controlled by our mind, our ego, we become the reaction, we become the emotion.

It’s OK, it’s a lifetime of conditioning that we are trying to unravel.

However, when it impacts on others and we are aware of it, then a sorry, a hug and an explanation of our behaviour always helps.

Enlightenment and spiritualism are not about being superior, that is yet another ego and story, it is about being aware and taking things lightly, accepting what is and that includes accepting ourselves and what we are and that we will behave in ways that contradict that.

When we give that space and allow it to be, it resolves itself and goes away. When we resist anything, it only expands and deepens…it won’t go away all the time we resist.

Patience allows growth.

Right for the soul

Accepting what is doesn’t mean doing nothing, although that is a choice, of course, it means not suffering the pain of resisting something that can never be changed.

The situation you are in is always the present moment and anything that has occurred in that moment, within a nanosecond of you being aware of it, it is already the past.

Normal unconscious mind possessed behaviour means that what is occurring doesn’t fit our story, the ego does not like it, so it resists, it fights, it denies the absolute truth of the present moment. The fight, the resistance, all the negativity in our mind creates the emotion/turbulence in the body which is the mental and physical suffering of not accepting the external world and what is.

However, once we accept what is the pain goes, peace comes, and we can act or not according to what our true self is feeling. We respond from a place of peace, love and our soul. We do not then respond from our egotistical mind possessed state and we do not become the emotion, we are not the reaction.

Letting go and acceptance is the route to acting consciously according to what is truly right for our soul.
