The Acceptance of What Is (ePub)

A book this time on thinking, thinking things out, projecting and foreseeing, plans that are derailed the moment you make them because reality is going a different way than you've imagined yours should go.

Still pushing to get this reality into your imagined plans, even changing your body because you are not happy with this provided magnificent shape you deem with flaws. It is perfectly right and right on time for what you are here for. Of course, our mind objects, all the time, never satisfied, always coming up with alternatives and tension.

All based on thought being a master in our personal system where it does not have the capacity and capability to be that in us.

Adapting and adjusting consistently because that reality out there does not fit into your projection, it goes its own way, unstoppable, inflexible apparently to our minds view of our life. Find this mind for me, show me what it is, this mind and thought, this I in you and me.

The longer we fight to want to adjust reality into our imagination, the more hopeless this journey seems to become until you hit a brick wall in your life where the split between reality and imagination becomes obvious and the tricks of our mind are simply losing its position in you, unable to continue its constant adjustment and keeps telling us, you're doing fine, the future will be ok. It is not giving you anything, it simply can't.

To change your life is to work on accepting the inevitable, which is right in front of you, never lets you down or keeps you hoping for a better future.

Where the stories lose their power in us because stories are 2nd hand experiences, easy to change or to fluff up and open to whatever you can imagine it to be.

To start going with your 1st and direct experiences without an opinion about the other stories out there, leaving judgment and expectation behind, in the bin, to see its irrelevance and direct link with imagination and thought.

That's where things start to go in the right direction: flowing with life, not rowing against it, mentally.

It is true what is said: your life will never be the same again but your daily rhythm will not change, just the way you see things clearly after this profound discovery in yourself.

Before this realisation that happiness is right here: combing your hair and brushing your teeth.
After this realisation that happiness is right here: combing your hair and brushing your teeth.

Right here, where you are now. No need to leave or go elsewhere, no need to change but changing you will when you use reality as your reference. To start to travel light, leave your luggage and baggage from the past behind because what you need right now is right here already.

Just here, viewing things just differently, to live effortless with this reality out there as your guide this time: home, using the fast lane, leaving thought and thinking things out on a more playful level, less serious, more fun, here, now.

Look inside for the key this time instead of out there.

Enjoy life.
