Michael talks about how the Self uses it's will power to resist the events in life. "We actually assert our will in opposition to the flow of life." (T.U.S., p. 150) What we are really resisting is the way events affect us. We keep the energy of the event from passing through us and this causes tension. We resist events from the past and those of the future.
When you resist something "It blocks your heart's energy flow and causes you to feel closed and less vibrant. This is literally what is happening when something is weighing on your mind or when things just get too heavy for you." (T.U.S., p. 151)
Michael says that we are holding on to past energies and therefore we are not able to deal with the energies of present events. Hence we become stressed out. Sound familiar?
The solution is to stop resisting.
As discussed in "A Course in Miracles" we judge events passed on past experiences and then decide to resist or cling to them. If we do not want to resist or cling but instead allow the energy of events to pass through us then we need to let go of "preconceived notions of how things should be" (T.U.S., p. 152) and accept what is happening.
"Begin dealing with each situation with acceptance" (T.U.S., p. 153) so that the energy can make it through...then you can deal with the situation that happened.
Join me today in letting go of preconceived notions and accepting life the way that it is showing up. Deal with it as you will (affirmations, prayer treatment...) but first accept what is happening.
